Memlock settings not taking effect?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I still see this log when I start ES (v2.3.5) even though I have these settings in /etc/security/limits.conf, and have rebooted the machine. I also have bootstrap.mlockall: true in /etc/elasticsearch.yml.

[2016-10-04 18:51:22,933][WARN ][bootstrap                ] These can be adjusted by modifying /etc/security/limits.conf, for example:
        # allow user 'elasticsearch' mlockall
        elasticsearch soft memlock unlimited
        elasticsearch hard memlock unlimited

CentOS 7.2. I upgraded to ES v2.4.1 now, and still see it.
