Hey,

I am not a huge fan of the OOM killer to be honest. However, something is
going against your plans when the OOM killer kicks in

You configured 30GB heap, but you are running out of memory (then most of
the time the process which takes the most memory is killed, obviously
elasticsearch). But why are you running out of memory? Do you have any
other service running on that machine, which eats up system memory? Please
check (or disable the OOM killer, but you should find out why it kicks in).

Also, use the nodes info API to find out if bootstrap.mlockall setting is
really configured correctly on your nodes.
