Setting GC for ES

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm a little clueless when it comes to java options in ES, and was
wondering where I define things like GC? I did try setting it in
ES_JAVA_OPTS under /etc/default/elasticsearch, however when I did ES
wouldn't start, so either my syntax is wrong, or something else.

Can anyone provide a few pointers for me?

FWIW I hack bin/elasticsearch.in.sh for modifying the JAVA_OPTS there.

^^ Same. For the package install, it's under
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch.in.sh.
