k-NN settings
The k-NN plugin adds several new cluster settings.
Cluster settings
Setting | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
knn.algo_param.index_thread_qty | 1 | The number of threads used for native library index creation. Keeping this value low reduces the CPU impact of the k-NN plugin, but also reduces indexing performance. |
knn.cache.item.expiry.enabled | false | Whether to remove native library indices that have not been accessed for a certain duration from memory. |
knn.cache.item.expiry.minutes | 3h | If enabled, the idle time before removing a native library index from memory. |
knn.circuit_breaker.unset.percentage | 75% | The native memory usage threshold for the circuit breaker. Memory usage must be below this percentage of knn.memory.circuit_breaker.limit for knn.circuit_breaker.triggered to remain false. |
knn.circuit_breaker.triggered | false | True when memory usage exceeds the knn.circuit_breaker.unset.percentage value. |
knn.memory.circuit_breaker.limit | 50% | The native memory limit for native library indices. At the default value, if a machine has 100 GB of memory and the JVM uses 32 GB, the k-NN plugin uses 50% of the remaining 68 GB (34 GB). If memory usage exceeds this value, k-NN removes the least recently used native library indices. |
knn.memory.circuit_breaker.enabled | true | Whether to enable the k-NN memory circuit breaker. |
knn.plugin.enabled | true | Enables or disables the k-NN plugin. |
knn.model.index.number_of_shards | 1 | Number of shards to use for the model system index, the OpenSearch index that stores the models used for Approximate k-NN Search. |
knn.model.index.number_of_replicas | 1 | Number of replica shards to use for the model system index. Generally, in a multi-node cluster, this should be at least 1 to increase stability. |
