Garbage collection

Ideally:

  • Young GC is processed quickly (within 50 ms).
  • Young GC is not frequently executed (about 10 seconds).
  • Old GC is processed quickly (within 1 second).
  • Old GC is not frequently executed (once per 10 minutes or more).

HOWTO

Adjust log rotation

Is done in /etc/elasticsearch/log4j.properties

Number of logfiles to keep

appender.rolling.strategy.max
