starting a new translog generation. Flushes are performed automatically in the
background in order to make sure the translog does not grow too large, which
would make replaying its operations take a considerable amount of time during
recovery. The ability to perform a flush manually is also exposed through an
recovery. The translog size will never exceed `1%` of the disk size.
The ability to perform a flush manually is also exposed through an
API, although this is rarely needed.

The translog stores all operations that are not yet safely persisted in Lucene
(i.e., are not part of a Lucene commit point). Although these operations are
available for reads, they will need to be replayed if the shard was stopped
and had to be recovered. This setting controls the maximum total size of these
operations, to prevent recoveries from taking too long. Once the maximum size
has been reached a flush will happen, generating a new Lucene commit point.
