Enabling GC logging works now by setting the environment variable ES_GC_LOG_FILE
to the full path to the GC log file. Missing directories will be created as needed.
The ES_USE_GC_LOGGING environment variable is no longer used.

If you use the java-package tool to create java packages, those
paths also should be added to the debian init script.
Also updated the docs, that it is ok to install java8.
Closes#7383
1. Enable the repository using "add-apt-repository" to avoid this error "No command 'deb' found".

When reading the [rolling upgrade process](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-upgrade.html#rolling-upgrades), you can see that we wrote:
* disable allocation
* upgrade node1
* upgrade node2
* upgrade node3
* ...
* enable allocation
That won't work as after a node has been removed and restarted, no shard will be allocated anymore.
So closing node2 and remaining nodes, won't help to serve index and search request anymore.
We should write:
* disable allocation
* upgrade node1
* enable allocation
* wait for shards being recovered on node1
* disable allocation
* upgrade node2
* enable allocation
* wait for shards being recovered on node2
* disable allocation
* upgrade node3
* enable allocation
* wait for shards being recovered on node3
* disable allocation
* ...
* enable allocation
I think this documentation update should go in 1.3, 1.4, 1.x and master branches.
Closes#8218Closes#7973.
`mmapfs` is really good for random access but can have sideeffects if
memory maps are large depending on the operating system etc. A hybrid
solution where only selected files are actually memory mapped but others
mostly consumed sequentially brings the best of both worlds and
minimizes the memory map impact.
This commit mmaps only the `dvd` and `tim` file for fast random access
on docvalues and term dictionaries.
Closes#6636
Updating to this version allows to configure a special JNA directory,
in case the /tmp directory is mounted with the noexec option, as JNA
extracts some data and tries to execute parts of it.
Also updated documentation to clarify mlockall and memory settings as well
as pointing to the new jna.tmpdir system property.
Closes#5493

Closes#4634
The reason to not start packages on installation is to allow to configure
them before starting up (setting heap, cluster.name etc)
Also the documentation was updated in order to show, which statements need
to be executed.
In addition, these statements are also printed out when the package is
installed, depending on whether chkconfig, system or update-rc.d is used.
Closes#3722
Instead of using the '-f' parameter to start elasticsearch in the
foreground, this is now the default modus.
In order to start elasticsearch in the background, the '-d' parameter
can be used.
Closes#4392
In order to be sure that memory mapped lucene directories are working
one can configure the kernel about how many memory mapped areas
a process may have. This setting ensure for the debian and redhat initscripts
as well as the systemd startup, that this setting is set high enough.
Closes#4397
