== Indexing pressure

Indexing documents into Elasticsearch introduces system load in the form of
memory and CPU load. Each indexing operation includes coordinating, primary, and
replica stages. These stages can be performed across multiple nodes in the
cluster. If too much indexing work is introduced into the system, the cluster
can become saturated. This can adversely impact other components of the system
such as searches, cluster coordination, background processing, etc.

Indexing pressure is primarily generated by external operations such as indexing
requests or internally by mechanisms such recoveries and cross-cluster
replication.

Elasticsearch internally monitors indexing load. When the load exceeds
certain limits, new indexing work will be rejected.
