Dear all  
After my co worker increase the numbers of limit field when i needed to add more field to an index

```auto
"settings" : {
    "index.mapping.total_fields.limit": 2000
  },

```

now everytime i search something on that specific index i got an `query_shard_exception`  
and when i check the detail of the error i see that

```auto
field expansion matches too many fields, limit: 1024, got: 1117

```

when i search for answer they say i should increase the `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count`  
Are there any other way to fix this and if not can someone tell me how to change the above value

Thanks
