On the page  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/setup/installation.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/setup/installation.html) it is  
said that it is necessary to increase ES\_HEAP\_SIZE ES\_MAX\_MEM ES\_MIN\_MEM,  
but I have not found this configuration then  
/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml. Here's my cluster

{  
"cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch",

},  
"flush" : {  
"total" : 25,  
"total\_time" : "3.2s",  
"total\_time\_in\_millis" : 3205  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

As understand how much I need to allocate memory for elasticsearch and in  
General the description for each of the parameters.

there is a Russian community ?
