Hi team, Recently, I upgraded my ES cluster from 7.4.2 to 7.6.2. Then I found "Too Many Scroll Context ..." error always occurred and scroll search is not available on my cluster. I followed the exception tips and turned "search.max\_open\_scroll\_context" settings to 10000, 100000. However, this issue still here. I used node stats api to check the context count on my cluster, but I found 0 scroll\_current is active. Is this a bug or some mistake for my configuration? Please help to check whether this is an opened ISSUE or how could I solve? Thanks! **Detailed exception info:** GET /.kibana\_1/\_search?size=100&scroll=1m&pretty { "error" : { "root\_cause" : [ { "type" : "exception", "reason" : "Trying to create too many scroll contexts.
