+## Validations on Processors
+
+We can configure the limits on the number of ingest processors that should be used. The limit can be configured using the attribute `cluster.ingest.max_number_processors`. The sum of the number of processors and the number of `on_failure` processors are considered for counting the total number of processors on which the limit would be applied.
+
+The default value for `cluster.ingest.max_number_processors` is `Integer.MAX_VALUE`. If you try to add a number of processors greater than the value configured in `cluster.ingest.max_number_processors`, an `IllegalStateException` will be thrown.

 ## Batch-enabled processors
 
 Some processors support batch ingestion---they can process multiple documents at the same time as a batch. These batch-enabled processors usually provide better performance when using batch processing. For batch processing, use the [Bulk API]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/document-apis/bulk/) and provide a `batch_size` parameter. All batch-enabled processors have a batch mode and a single-document mode. When you ingest documents using the `PUT` method, the processor functions in single-document mode and processes documents in series. Currently, only the `text_embedding` and `sparse_encoding` processors are batch enabled. All other processors process documents one at a time.
