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.

This change adds command line help for all options to the es start script.
Both '-h' and '--help' options are accepted.
Also, an endless busy loop in the long options parser was fixed: running the
script with a long opt parameter w/o value (e.g. "elasticsearch --buuuurrrnn")
the long option parser would end up in an endless busy loop.

With this change, the elasticsearch script can be linked to another path
without having to set ES_INCLUDE to match the installation path.
Previously, the elasticsearch would find ES_HOME correctly even if linked
but could not find the include script, and finding it would be expected
behavior to me based on its current search path.
Closes#4958
Because the NetworkExceptionHelper class relies on the english language in
order to extract information and decide whether a certain exception is a
network problem, we need to set the english locale on startup in order
to prevent other locales to circumvent this check.
* Clean up s/ElasticSearch/Elasticsearch on docs/*
* Clean up s/ElasticSearch/Elasticsearch on src/* bin/* & pom.xml
* Clean up s/ElasticSearch/Elasticsearch on NOTICE.txt and README.textile
Closes#4634
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
Before, people that cloned the repo and expected to be able to run
bin/elasticsearch would be met with an awful shell error: the shell
interprets Maven variables like ${project.build.finalName} as shell
variables yet can't handle names of the form ${x.y}. This commit
explicitly checks to make sure that Maven has done its substitutions
before continuing; if Maven hasn't been run, it gives a helpful error
message.
Fixes#2954.
There is no need to write the pidfile in the bin/elasticsearchshell script
as this happens already in the java code.
Also cleaning up the bin/elasticsearch shell script a bit (no need to return
an error code when exec is called, as this forks and exits the shell script
immediately).
Closes#3529Closes#1745
This decision helps people who want to rollout the oracle java without having an openjdk java installed.
* Removed any hard dependency on Java in the debian package
* The debian init script does not check for an existing JAVA_HOME anymore
* Debian and RedHat initscripts now exit if they do not find a java binary (instead of starting elasticsearch in the background and swallowing the error as there is no way to log it in that case)
* Changed the debian init script to rely on the pid file instead of the argument name of process
* Added a useful error message in case no java binary is available (in elasticsearch shell script)
