Elasticsearch: The max_clause_count setting is not documented
The max_clause_count option is not documented in the reference documentation.
It seems that it was documented once (https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/482#issuecomment-563798):
in the elasticsearch configuration file (the yml file for example), set the mentioned setting. See more here: http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/setup/configuration/#Settings.

The only place I can find it mentioned is in the 5.0 breaking settings changes
Some mention would be useful along with a little background on reasons for keeping it low and how high it might be reasonable to set it in particular circumstances. It looks like the default value is 1024.
I have found some answers in discussion fora that recommend against increasing this limit, in favour of changing the query usage to avoid high numbers of clauses:
- https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-set-index-query-bool-max-clause-count/32264/3 (and further responses from Elastic Cloud Engineers in same discussion)
