# --------------------------------------------------
# NOTE: Setting the attributes for elasticsearch.yml
# --------------------------------------------------
#
# The template uses the `print_value` extension method to print attributes with a "truthy"
# value, set either in data bags, node attributes, role override attributes, etc.
#
# It is possible to set *any* configuration value exposed by the Elasticsearch configuration file.
#
# For example:
#
#     <%= print_value 'cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries' -%>
#
# will print a line:
#
#     cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries: <VALUE>
#
# if the either of following node attributes is set:
#
# * `node.cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries`
# * `node['cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries']`
#
# The default attributes set by the cookbook configure a minimal set inferred from the environment
# (eg. memory settings, node name), or reasonable defaults for production.
#
# The template is based on the elasticsearch.yml file from the Elasticsearch distribution;
# to set other configurations, set the `node.elasticsearch[:custom_config]` attribute in the
# node configuration, `elasticsearch/settings` data bag, role/environment definition, etc:
#
#     // ...
#     'threadpool.index.type' => 'fixed',
#     'threadpool.index.size' => '2'
#     // ...
#
