Elasticsearch node takes a time to come in yellow or green state after the start  
ES cluster details: Single node with one index and 10 shards.

ES is taking 6-7 minutes to come in the yellow or green state every time when starts.

The data folder size is 15 GB. As the size of data folder increases, it takes more time.

Why have you overridden the default settings? What led you to these values? How long does it take if you use default options? What is the output of the [cluster health API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/cluster-health.html)?
