Field data cache settingsedit

The field data cache is used mainly when sorting on or computing aggregations on a field. It loads all the field values to memory in order to provide fast document based access to those values. The field data cache can be expensive to build for a field, so its recommended to have enough memory to allocate it, and to keep it loaded.

The amount of memory used for the field data cache can be controlled using indices.fielddata.cache.size. Note: reloading the field data which does not fit into your cache will be expensive and perform poorly.

indices.fielddata.cache.size
The max size of the field data cache, eg 30% of node heap space, or an absolute value, eg 12GB. Defaults to unbounded. Also see Field data circuit breaker.

These are static settings which must be configured on every data node in the cluster.

Monitoring field dataedit

You can monitor memory usage for field data as well as the field data circuit breaker using Nodes Stats API
