I've re-configured the VM with 1GB, 2GB and 8GB RAM with the exact same errors. Is there a known absolutely minimum RAM requirement? The exact same install procedure from official repos didn't have a problem with ES 1.0, installed, configured and running with as little as 1GB RAM (but usually running with more) Has something drastic changed between 1.0 and 1.3? Or, maybe when ES is installed it reads available RAM and does not auto update the next time it restarts? BTW - I have ES running in a Dockerized openSUSE, I guess I'll have to check whether it's installing latest ES (would be expected) although with no elasticsearch.yml. Before relying on that entirely, I'd like to understand why installing from repo is failing this way.
