When designing and implementing configuration options, carefully consider two key aspects: 1. **Choose appropriate configuration scope**: Place configuration settings at the level that makes the most sense for their purpose and usage pattern. Avoid overly granular scopes when settings could logically apply at a broader level.

Choose appropriate configuration scope: Place configuration settings at the level that makes the most sense for their purpose and usage pattern. Avoid overly granular scopes when settings could logically apply at a broader level.
// Prefer index-level settings for behaviors that affect the entire index
// Example from Discussion 1:
"early_termination": true // At index level, not field level
Document configurations completely: Provide clear documentation that covers all possible values, edge cases, and boundary conditions. Explicitly state limitations, especially for managed environments where configuration options may be restricted.
// Example of improved documentation clarity:
// Before:
"50% of total system memory when more than 1 GB, with a maximum of 31 GB."
// After:
"50% of total system memory when 1 GB or more, with a maximum of 31 GB."
For managed or restricted environments, clearly explain which configuration options are available to users and why certain configurations might be limited or handled automatically.
