Hi @wb4, Have you checked here for performance improvement ideas/solutions: > [@High heap size on data nodes](https://forum.opensearch.org/t/high-heap-size-on-data-nodes/14525/6): > > When the [Parent Circuit Breaker](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.10/circuit-breaker.html#parent-circuit-breaker) trips, it’s usually one of two things: Too little heap for what you need. In this case, you’ll have to either add more heap (either by increasing heap size or adding more nodes, assuming data can rebalance) or reduce your heap usage Garbage collector doesn’t clean up in time. In this case you can tweak GC to kick in more often or spend more CPU collecting. For the first case, it depends on what’s taking heap. Is it more “static” memory, such as fielddata, cac… Best, mj --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.opensearch.org/t/parent-circuit-breaker-intermittent-tripping-on-saved-object-query-and-various-other-operations/23634)._
