Slow performance on Query/Gui for elasticsearch after update to Java 64bit/increased heap size

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can offer any advise on this as I have looked around
and cant really seem to find an answer on this.

Since updating to Java 7 64 bit from Java7 32 bit and increasing the
MAX_HEAP_SIZE I am seeing slower query performance when trying to query
data via the Plugin GUI's such as Elasticsearch HQ.

On the stats page for the GUI, the only part which was RED is the index
refresh. This is now currently Yellow after lowering the MAX_HEAP_SIZE to
4gb from originally 50% of the total which was 32. (Set to 16GB originally
when updating to Java 7 64)

Any ideas on why after updating to Java7 64 and upping the HEAP that this
would affect performance so dramatically as it was faster when using java
32 with a lower heap.

Currently using elasticsearch version elasticsearch-1.3.2-1

Hi,

Just incase anyone has a similar issue.

It looks like the cause of the slowness and being unable to query the index
was due to the template that had been added.

Once taking all the data out and adding some data manually myself via a NC
command, I could attempt to query the data. However it still did not bring
any data back, however the logs and json output showed the below error.
Once removing the template that included the Geo IP field this resolved the
issue.

Error:
Caused by: org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException: field
[geoip] isn't a leaf field
