Number of threads
editNumber of threads
editElasticsearch uses a number of thread pools for different types of operations. It is important that it is able to create new threads whenever needed. Make sure that the number of threads that the Elasticsearch user can create is at least 2048.
This can be done by setting ulimit -u 2048 as root before
starting Elasticsearch, or by setting nproc to 2048 in
/etc/security/limits.conf.
