What is the best way to set the settings for the \_percolator index? I create an index _benchmark_ and then let elasticsearch create _\_percolator_upon registration of the first query. Should I be manually creating the _\_percolator_ index myself so that I can make the settings what I want? Or is there a way to store off the settings and have elasticsearch read them automatically when it creates the _\_percolator_ index? ---

Easiest is probably just to create the \_percolator index yourself, before creating any percolators clint ---

Whatever ones will get me sub 100 ms percolate responses with \>= 100K registered queries. I think I'm looking for how to distribute percolate requests the way that searches are distributed. But if there's a better approach then I'm looking for that.

You can have several indexes holding parts of the percolated queries, and execute them in parallel. Its not amazing, and I hope we address this in the upcoming release.
