Our cluster has been running for about 6 months now and we've collected a few settings in /\_cluster/settings, even the transients aren't transient as I hardly ever take the entire cluster down. I vaguely remember reading that entries could be deleted now but I can't find the article again. Any tips? /Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
