I'm using Elasticsearch 2.3.2 I tried to use scaling option for the **search** and **get** threapools. However, when I restarted ES I got this log error:

> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: setting threadpool.get.type to scaling is not permitted; must be fixed

I'm also setting parameters such as the size, queue\_size and keep\_alive.

am I missing something?

Thanks
