Heap size check
editHeap size check
editBy default, Elasticsearch automatically sizes JVM heap based on a node’s
roles and total memory. If you manually override the default
sizing and start the JVM with different initial and max heap sizes, the JVM may
pause as it resizes the heap during system usage. If you enable
bootstrap.memory_lock
, the JVM locks the initial heap
size on startup. If the initial heap size is not equal to the maximum heap size,
some JVM heap may not be locked after a resize. To avoid these issues, start the
JVM with an initial heap size equal to the maximum heap size.
