Hi. We checked our elasticsearch and OS settings, and found that the system parameter vm.max_map_count was too low. It was still the linux default, 65530, but should be increased to 262144. This value is set in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/elasticsearch.conf (and also in /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch, MAX_MAP_COUNT=262144). But we have to call "sysctl -p /usr/lib/sysctl.d/elasticsearch.conf" for this to take effect, or reboot the server. I don't know if anything speaks against doing stuff like this in the rpm's install scripts. If it's OK, please add it. This was the behaviour on RHEL6 and CentOS6 with the rpms elasticsearch.noarch 1.2.1-1 and probably also 1.0.1.
