Hi, i´ve running into some production issues with ES. The GC started to run all time and the response times went to hell. This is my bigdesk view: [image: Imágenes integradas 1] (The fix was turning it off that's why CPU went to 0%) In the other hand, i'm seeing this on HQ: [image: Imágenes integradas 1] How can I fix it? Are the evictions generating those problems? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

What ES version is that? What type of queries do you perform? What filter cache did you configure?

Between lines. Thanks! 2014/1/2 [joergprante@gmail.com](mailto:joergprante@gmail.com) [joergprante@gmail.com](mailto:joergprante@gmail.com) > What ES version is that? 0.90.8 > What type of queries do you perform? We have a very big query, with lots of filters, and because of that we have to add them to each facet (we are thinking to move it to a filtered query instead, do you recomend that?). We have a cluster of 290Gb of data in 42M of docs in 16 shards with 2 replicas. And 30 nodes. > What filter cache did you configure? We are using it by default, I think it´s soft with 20% limit. > Jörg > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/CAKdsXoFD6s9tau6sb6Dg-qB9jPqWONFv-R343SxN0uzUBv%3DHKw%40mail.gmail.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/CAKdsXoFD6s9tau6sb6Dg-qB9jPqWONFv-R343SxN0uzUBv%3DHKw%40mail.gmail.com) > . > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Filtered query sounds fine. You should definitely look into your filters and try more efficient ones.

Filtered query did the trick.
