Thank you for the update script that simulates "alter index". This is also
useful if one wants to modify this value without rebuilding the index for other
purposes as well.

> 1. the setting 'max_compaction_flush_memory_in_mb' is a misnomer, it is
> actually memory in BYTES. If you take it at face value, and set it to say,
> '512' thinking that means 512MB, you will produce a million temp files
> rather quickly in a large compaction, which will exhaust even large values of
> max_map_count rapidly, and get the OOM: Map Error issue above and possibly
> have a very difficult situation to get a cluster back into a place where
> nodes aren't crashing while initilaizing or soon after. This issue is minor
> if you know about it in advance and set the value IN BYTES.
