Search backpressure settings

Search backpressure is a mechanism used to identify resource-intensive search requests and cancel them when the node is under duress. For more information, see Search backpressure settings.

Shard indexing backpressure settings

Shard indexing backpressure is a smart rejection mechanism at a per-shard level that dynamically rejects indexing requests when your cluster is under strain. For more information, see shard indexing backpressure settings.

Segment replication settings
