Hello,

When specifying `http.max_content_length`, do i need to do this for all nodes in my cluster?

I have a lot of data to index and I'm trying to see if increasing this value might make indexing faster.

I see the question I'm after was asked here: [Increasing http.max\_content\_length](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/increasing-http-max-content-length/188022). Unfortunately in this case it doesn't look like the question was answered.
