Hi All,

I got this log message when started a new ES 2.2.0 instance

> updating indices.store.throttle.max\_bytes\_per\_sec from [10gb] to [512mb], note, type is [NONE]

Is the default value really 10gb? Should I just leave it as 10gb and remove/set the same value in cluster settings?

Thanks,

Have you set that in your config at all?

As of 2.X, these settings are automatically managed - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/breaking\_20\_setting\_changes.html#\_merge\_and\_merge\_throttling\_settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/breaking_20_setting_changes.html#_merge_and_merge_throttling_settings)

I set indices.store.throttle.max\_bytes\_per\_sec to 512mb in cluster settings, but do not have this in .yml config file.

Per the docs, you don't need to do this at all.

Have you checked cluster state to see if it's in there?
