[Question]: The process of refining Question is slow.

[zzzqiii]

Describe your problem

206 pdfs were uploaded and parsed. Then I tried to ask a simple question about something in the knowledge base. However the responding time is too long. A question took about 4 mins to respond. Especially, the process of refing question and retrieval took a long time. Are there ways to solve this problem?

Question refinments will touch LLM to do the job. So, it's time consuming. You could disable it.
The retrival time depends on ES. I guess you need to deploy multiple nodes for ES and enlarge the RAM ES can use.

Thank you for your reply！

Could you confirm if setting it to 'empty' will disable the feature? Or is there another way to turn it off?

Additionally, regarding the retrieval time, you mentioned it depends on ES and suggested deploying multiple nodes for ES and enlarging the RAM ES can use. Could you please provide more details or documentation on how to deploy multiple ES nodes and configure the RAM usage?

Yes, 'empty' will disable the feature.

Thank you for your suggestion! I have already disabled question refinments, but it still takes a long time. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and if there are other configurations I need to adjust to improve the performance?

This is my setting.
