This commit clarifies how to override JAVA_HOME from the bundled jdk for
deb and rpm installs, which each have their own file that is sourced
upon service startup.
closes#49068
This commit changes the note in docs about required java version to note
the existence of the bundled jdk and how to bring your own java. It also
reorganizes the zip/targz docs as zip is no longer suitable on
Linux/MacOS.
This commit adds classifiers to the distributions indicating the
OS (for archives) and platform. The current OSes are for windows, darwin (ie
macos) and linux. This change will allow future OS/architecture specific
changes to the distributions. Note the docs using distribution links
have been updated, but will be reworked in a followup to make OS
specific instructions for the archives.
The environment variable CONF_DIR was previously inconsistently used in
our packaging to customize the location of Elasticsearch configuration
files. The importance of this environment variable has increased
starting in 6.0.0 as it's now used consistently to ensure Elasticsearch
and all secondary scripts (e.g., elasticsearch-keystore) all use the
same configuration. The name CONF_DIR is there for legacy reasons yet
it's too generic. This commit renames CONF_DIR to ES_PATH_CONF.
Relates #26197
This commit updates the docs for the config files to explain the new
mechanism for customizing the configuration directory via the
environment variable CONF_DIR.

#9261 added a warning about the use of `add-apt-repository` which is becoming obsolete over time as new distribution releases include later versions of `add-apt-repository` which don't automatically add the `deb-src` line. This change updates the documentation to make the block a note rather than a warning and adds two other reasons for avoiding `add-apt-repository` which are still relevant: avoiding edits to a system shared file and not requiring a large number of non-default packages to add one line of text to a file.
During package install on systemd-based systems, we try to set
vm.max_map_count. On some systems (e.g., containers), users do not have
the ability to tune these parameters from within the container. This
commit provides an option for these users to skip setting such kernel
parameters.
Relates #21899
With the unified release process across the elastic stack, download
links for all products are changing. This change updates docs referring
to the old download and packages urls.
Note that this change also updates the plugin installation command as
the url for downloads is being changed to be consistent with that for
packages (both plural).
This commit removes the ability to specify a custom plugins
path. Instead, the plugins path will always be a subdirectory called
"plugins" off of the home directory.
