I use ES to store files, and the size of each file is within 100kb. The following two problems encountered in the use process have not been solved:
1.We set the requests cache: false, and the memory will still slowly reach 99%. Even if we only use -XHEAD to determine whether there is no other operations, the memory will be 99%. Is there any way to prevent the memory usage from being so high?
2.When we use the 7.4 version, although the memory is 99%, the system can still run normally for a long time, but the updated version after 7.11 will cause the system to fail to run because the memory is 100% every 2 days. The high version cannot roll back the low version, so we are very painful and have to restart the service every two days.

If you aren't using 7.12.1 then please try on that. I've noticed higher than expected memory use with 7.12.0 and the upgrade helped.

Can I ask why are you changing these settings?
