Hi, When i see the node stat of my cluster is show something like this: "flush" : { "total" : 30, "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 6964 } My translog flush interval is 180 minutes or 1200 mb , so i think flush should be done based on these values. But if i keep on checking my node stats then flush values (total) are keep on increasing, so what is it means? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
