Just installed elasticsearch 1.7.2 on windows.
Running:
elasticsearch.bat
works!
But
elasticsearch --cluster.name my_cluster_name
failed with
Unrecognized option: --cluster.name
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
It's copy and paste from the documentation at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_installation.html
It seems that the parameter is passed to the VM and not the elasticsearch. What's wrong? Documentation?

Can you try
elasticsearch.bat --cluster.name my_cluster_name
?

Er, or whatever it'd look like in windows.

That's what I tried also. Didn't work either. I tried all possibilities. The only parameters that are working are --silent and -s which are directly processed in the elasticsearch.bat

On windows try this:
elasticsearch.bat -Des.cluster.name my_cluster_name
Alternatively you can set the cluster.name the elasticsearch.yml file.
Cheers!
