Hi all.

For development purposes we use elasticsearch 6 in docker container with those additional limits:

```
ES_JAVA_OPTS: '-Xms384m -Xmx384m'
mem_limit: 768000000

```

Test data just about 70mb, so it seems minimal memory requriments for stable working too high.  
Is anyone knows config improvments to decrease memory requirenments for dev environment?
