hi all,  
After i changed elasticsearch.yml , i get this error.

`Preformatted text`● elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch

# ------------------------------------ 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: /var/lib/elasticsearch

# 

# Path to log files:

# 

path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch

# 

# ----------------------------------- 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: 0.0.0.0

# 

# 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 this node is started:

# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

# 

#discovery.seed\_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]

# 

# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:

# 

#cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]

# 

# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.

# 

# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------

# 

# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:

#
