Hello, That setting isn't in elasticsearch.yml. Try changing elasticsearch.conf of the service wrapper: set.default.ES\_HEAP\_SIZE=1024 or the ES\_HEAP\_SIZE environment variable. No "m" is needed in the end, the size is in MB. ## Best regards, Radu [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) -- Elasticsearch -- Solr -- Lucene On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 1:19 PM, [lijionly@gmail.com](mailto:lijionly@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > I'm using elasticsearch 0.90.2, install elasticsearch with wrapper.

That is correct, since ES\_HEAP\_SIZE has precedence. ES\_HEAP\_SIZE will be used for both Xms and Xmx. From elasticsearch.in.sh: if ["x$ES\_MIN\_MEM" = "x"]; then ES\_MIN\_MEM=256m fi if ["x$ES\_MAX\_MEM" = "x"]; then ES\_MAX\_MEM=1g fi if ["x$ES\_HEAP\_SIZE" != "x"]; then ES\_MIN\_MEM=$ES\_HEAP\_SIZE ES\_MAX\_MEM=$ES\_HEAP\_SIZE fi The last if statement will overwrite the min/max settings if the heap size is specified.
