The JAVA heap space is full and it has thrown an OutOfMemory error. Try increasing the heap space allocated to Elasticsearch and restart the Elasticsearch service. Also what kind of queries are you running, a heap of 1.3GB is quite less for Elasticsearch. ---

Hi I increased heap size manually in the JVM file. But its not restarting. Without reinstall is it possible to start again? Thanks Aneesh ![IMG_24012018_111712_0](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/7/470b1d09f443ff1d1bb739edd3aaa16ec2c33417.png) ---

Heap size is independent of the disk size available. What do the logs say? ---

The logs attached don't indicate any service restart, could you post the logs after the service has been restarted. ---
