# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
#
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
#       Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
#       understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
#cluster.name: my-application
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
#node.name: node-1
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
#node.attr.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
#path.data: /path/to/data
#
# Path to log files:
#
#path.logs: /path/to/logs
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
#bootstrap.memory_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
# limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
#network.host: 192.168.0.1
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
#http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, consult the network module documentation.
#
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when new node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
#discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
#
# Prevent the "split brain" by configuring the majority of nodes (total number of master-eligible nodes / 2 + 1):
#
#discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 
#
# For more information, consult the zen discovery module documentation.
#
# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
#
# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:
#
#gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3
#
# For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.
#
# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
#
# Require explicit names when deleting indices:
#
#action.destructive_requires_name: true

## JVM configuration

I checked out this thread, but have not found clue. Can't start service elasticsearch

3

Does /run/elasticsearch/ exist?

4

It does not exist. After you mentioned, I tried to create it and change permission with:

sudo mkdir /run/elasticsearch
sudo chown elasticsearch:elasticsearch /run/elasticsearch

But still same problem.

5

I am having the exact same issue.

When I try to run it directly, I get an error about JNA...

I can't seem to find the root cause. I switched to oracle java, the problem went away.. but then i reinstalled elasticsearch and the issue came back.

Very frustrating.

Any help greatly appreciated.

(also running 6.2.1 on archlinux)

6

ok its working after switching back to openjdk..

sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk/jre
...
systemctl start elasticsearch
...
it works.. so wierd

7

I'm using java-9-jdk. It fails. Then with your hints, I switch to java-9-openjdk. Still failed. Then I tried java-8-openjdk. Still failed. Always same issue can't open the pid file.
Then I tried your method to run directly, and got the following error output:

Then I delete it manually in /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/ with sudo rm -rf.
Then start elasticsearch.service again, it works now.

After I check systemctl status elasticsearch.service. It still report error:

You might need to edit and recompile the analysis-ik plugin so that it doesn't perform that check. I would assume that 6.1.1 would work with 6.2.1.

Maybe this is related? - https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/18406
