04:54 AMTo improve the threading within TypeSense server, how can we modify the following parameter,
--thread-pool-size false Number of threads used for handling concurrent requests. Default: NUM_CORES * 8
• Is it possible to modify the constant which is 8 in the default case ?
• If yes, what is the limit to which we can increase it? Which metric is used to tune this value?

what would be the optimal configuration of the infra in terms of CPU & RAM and what should be a thread-pooling value
