@David, that makes sense. We have SSDs and replicas are already set to 0 while bulk indexing.
@Jörg, we haven't changed the "threadpool.bulk.size" because according to the docs that's directly related to the number of processors available. However "threadpool.bulk.queue_size" has been modified. I'm slowly tuning it down to find a sweetspot, but the default seems a but too low.
