Throttle a reindex operation Added in 2.4.0
Change the number of requests per second for a particular reindex operation. For example:
POST _reindex/r1A2WoRbTwKZ516z6NEs5A:36619/_rethrottle?requests_per_second=-1
Rethrottling that speeds up the query takes effect immediately. Rethrottling that slows down the query will take effect after completing the current batch. This behavior prevents scroll timeouts.
