This is a follow up to a previous change which set the error file path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to the root of the
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
error file path relative to this directory and default it to the logs
directory, similar to the package distributions.
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the heap dump path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to to the root of
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
heap dump path relative to this directory and default it to the data
directory, similar to the package distributions.
This commit reorganizes some of the content in the configuring
Elasticsearch section of the docs. The changes are:
- move JVM options out of system configuration into configuring
Elasticsearch
- move JVM options to its own page of the docs
- move configuring the heap to important Elasticsearch settings
- move configuring the heap to its own page of the docs
- move all important settings to individual pages in the docs
- remove bootstrap.memory_lock from important settings, this is covered
in the swap section of system configuration
