Hi folks, I've been trying to figure out the default analyzer for  
'\_all'. At first, I was simply thinking that it would be the standard  
analyzer. But as my testing shows, it's not the case at all (stop  
words are kept?!)? After some testing, it would appear to be using the  
standard tokenizer, with a lowercase filter.

I would have tried to find out more myself... but it's not as if you  
could query the mapping and try to see the result for yourself (it  
doesnt show for '\_all'). Does anybody have any more info? Is it using  
any provided analyzer?

thanks,

It depends on your elasticsearch version I guess as in 1.0, standard analyzer does not remove stop words anymore.

I see! I guess the docs had me confused (or more like, I read the  
description, but didnt go on to read into the details of the settings,  
argh).

So the standard analyzer is indeed used for '\_all'?

thanks,

Hi,

I have a question about memory usage.

My cluster has 1 master and data node and 3 data nodes. Each have 6 GB  
heap size (which is nearly half of the machine). I have 250 shards with  
replicas and I have 600 GB data in total. When I start the cluster, I  
can use it for 1 week without any problem. After a week, my cluster  
begins to fail due to low memory (below 10%). When I restart all the  
nodes, everything is fine, again. Free memory goes up to 40%. And, it  
fails again 1 week after the restart.

I think some data is remaining in the memory for a long time even if it  
is not used. Is there any configuration to optimize this? Do I need to  
flush indices or clear cache periodically?

Thanks,  
Umutcan
