Hey, I've asked this question on SO [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29390654/some-of-elasticsearch-yml-configuration-is-not-taking-effect](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29390654/some-of-elasticsearch-yml-configuration-is-not-taking-effect), I have a problem, that settings from elasticsearch.yml like: indices.memory.index\_buffer\_size: 50% Are not reflected in GET \_cluster/settings as they should, right? Even though others like cluster-name or discovery are... What am I doing wrong here? I tried to restart ES with multiple ways of setting it up, nothing helps.
