Hi,  
I am using ES 6.6.1. Getting below error

```auto
too_many_clauses: maxClauseCount is set to 1024

```

From [Search Settings | Elasticsearch Guide [6.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/search-settings.html) ,

> In case you consider to increase this setting, make sure you exhausted all other options to avoid having to do this

So I want to know what all other options available? Can increasing memory/cpu solves this?

Elasticsearch 6.6 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.

What's your use case here that's causing you to need to increase it?
