While we are working on a longer term solution ({GIT}9176[#9176]), we introduced a minimum weight of 1k for each cache entry. This puts an effective limit on the number of entries in the cache. See {GIT}8304[#8304] (STATUS: DONE, fixed in v1.4.0)

=== Do not allow stale shards to automatically be promoted to primary (STATUS: ONGOING)
In some scenarios, a succession of multiple isolated nodes can cause a stale replica shard to be promoted to primary
leading to a loss of acknowledged indexing operations. Work is underway ({GIT}14671[#14671]) to prevent the automatic
promotion of a stale primary and only allow such promotion to occur when a system operator manually intervenes.
