Hi,
I installed ES 5.0.0-alpha 5 on Debian Jessie and cannot lock JVM Memory
I set the below
echo 'elasticsearch soft memlock unlimited' | tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo 'elasticsearch hard memlock unlimited' | tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml bootstrap.memory_lock: true
on elasticsearch account
ulimit -H -l
unlimited
in logs have this:
[2016-09-08 14:13:13,979][WARN ][bootstrap ] Unable to lock JVM Memory: error=12, reason=Cannot allocate memory
[2016-09-08 14:13:13,980][WARN ][bootstrap ] This can result in part of the JVM being swapped out.
[2016-09-08 14:13:13,981][WARN ][bootstrap ] Increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, soft limit: 65536, hard limit: 65536
[2016-09-08 14:13:13,981][WARN ][bootstrap ] These can be adjusted by modifying /etc/security/limits.conf, for example:
# allow user 'elasticsearch' mlockall
elasticsearch soft memlock unlimited
elasticsearch hard memlock unlimited
