Server keeps creating threads even though using fixed threadpool in config

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

We're using ES 0.17.9 and it seems that the server keeps creating more
and more threads in the index pool. What is the default number of
fixed threads?

I grabbed this from YourKit which shows that most of them are all
waiting on a lock in the queue.

Can you gist your config of the thread pool? You can set threadpool to
DEBUG in the logging file, and see which threads pools get created, types,
and sizes.

Here's our config:

We don't specify specific sizes currently.

The default size for a fixed thread pool is the number of available
processors * 5. You can see what exact value it uses by changing the logging
that I mentioned before.

That's makes sense then. Thanks!
