performance regression after upgrading elasticsearch to v5.3.2
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since upgrading to elasticsearch v5.3.2, we see some performance degradation (+20ms on fulltext and +40ms on morelike, +2ms on comp suggest). This reboot also activated some new JVM options, to align them on the standard elasticsearch configuration. More context can be found on this upstream ticket. The problem seems to be related to the activation of Concurrent Mark and Sweep GC.
