Hi I am getting to grips with elastic search, but I do not know if I should be worried about the insert performance; As you can see, the insert indexing rate is about 1400, but I don't know if the load and cpu usage is cause for alarm. Is this typical or should the load be lower? Below is an htop screencap; the top process (31712) is the elasticsearch process and jumps between 155-600% cpu usage. I feel it is a bit too high for what it is doing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
