If you have 32G RAM, just configure ES with ES_HEAP_SIZE=16g
If you want to mess with JVM options, set them to -Xmx16g -Xms16g (look into bin/elasticsearch.in.sh assuming you are on Linux) To answer your question, you have passed wrong args in Xmx to the JVM and the JVM silently resets the heap to the initial heap size, which you can find out with the command java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | grep HeapSize Jörg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
