`ES_USER`::
The user to run as, defaults to `elasticsearch`.
`ES_GROUP`::
The group to run as, defaults to `elasticsearch`.
`JAVA_HOME`::
Set a custom Java path to be used.
`MAX_OPEN_FILES`::
Maximum number of open files, defaults to `65536`.
`MAX_LOCKED_MEMORY`::
Maximum locked memory size. Set to `unlimited` if you use the
`bootstrap.memory_lock` option in elasticsearch.yml.
`MAX_MAP_COUNT`::
Maximum number of memory map areas a process may have. If you use `mmapfs`
as index store type, make sure this is set to a high value. For more
information, check the
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt[linux kernel documentation]
about `max_map_count`. This is set via `sysctl` before starting
elasticsearch. Defaults to `262144`.
`LOG_DIR`::
Log directory, defaults to `/var/log/elasticsearch`.
`DATA_DIR`::
Data directory, defaults to `/var/lib/elasticsearch`.
`CONF_DIR`::
Configuration file directory (which needs to include `elasticsearch.yml`
and `log4j2.properties` files), defaults to `/etc/elasticsearch`.
`ES_JAVA_OPTS`::
Any additional JVM system properties you may want to apply.
`RESTART_ON_UPGRADE`::
Configure restart on package upgrade, defaults to `false`. This means you
will have to restart your elasticsearch instance after installing a
package manually. The reason for this is to ensure, that upgrades in a
cluster do not result in a continuous shard reallocation resulting in high
network traffic and reducing the response times of your cluster.
