hi I want to edit `elasticsearch.yml` when I use `org.elasticsearch.gradle:build-tools`  
when I run `gradle clean run`, it makes basic `elasticsearch.yml` like below and run node.

```auto
cluster.name: _run
pidfile: path
path.repo: path
path.shared_data: path
node.attr.testattr: test
repositories.url.allowed_urls: http://snapshot.test*
node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1
http.port: 0
transport.tcp.port: 0
cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low: 1b
cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high: 1b

```

I want to set `elasticsearch.yml` that I made.  
how can I do?

You can pass in additional settings (which override those in the generated `elasticsearch.yml`) with `-Dtests.es.settingname=foo`. There is no way to override the entire file.
