Does ElasticSearch support the usage of Redhat cgroups in order to do CPU Resource Management. We have a system where we have an elasticsearch node running together with a Tomcat process. In order to avoid that one process is "eating" resources of another process, we are thinking about using Redhat cgroups to implement this. Is this possible?
