I'm planning to use single node cluster for my application deployment. We have more use cases of scaling vertically than adding a new physical host. Elasticsearch is planning to deprecate multi node path in near future. I heard creating a multiple Elasticsearch processes on a same physical host is a workaround for this problem.

I would like to know how can I create multiple Elasticsearch processes on a single physical Windows host?

Docker would be the current recommendation.
