Elasticsearch 5.1.1 keep dying after 20 minutes

Running all three on a single machine with only 4 GB might be too much, especially combined with an nginx server (it really depends on your use-case though). Elasticsearch loves the filesystem cache, but if all the memory not dedicated to the Elasticsearch heap is going to other processes, there is not going to be any room left over for the filesystem cache.

Hello Jason,

I've just trying to reduce the xms to 750mb and fortunately (finger crossed) the server has been running fine for a few days now. I am feeding it around 40k hits every 15mins or so.

Thank you for your help!
