I set `jvm.options` to:

```auto
-Xms2g
-Xmx2g

```

but when I go to `/_nodes/stats?human` it shows:

```auto
"mem": {
"heap_used":"817mb",
"heap_used_in_bytes":856776904,
"heap_used_percent":81,
"heap_committed":"1007.3mb",
"heap_committed_in_bytes":1056309248,
"heap_max":"1007.3mb",
"heap_max_in_bytes":1056309248,
"non_heap_used":"108.8mb",
"non_heap_used_in_bytes":114173864,
"non_heap_committed":"115.5mb",
"non_heap_committed_in_bytes":121151488

```

Shouldn't `heap_committed_in_bytes` be equal to 2gb?

This is odd: I just ran `systemctl restart elasticsearch` on them and they all say 2gb now. I had restarted the Elasticsearch service many times before, though. Any ideas why this number changed?

Thank you.
