Hi @jagan,

if you run sudo ./elasticsearch it runs effectively as root. Quoting man sudo:

sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser

Hence, just run ./elasticsearch without sudo. Also, it is more common to start Elasticsearch from its root folder and run ./bin/elasticsearch.
