Wait. I'd say it doesn't require a reboot in RHEL6, it's a tunable parameter because it sits in /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count. In fact, it is activated at service start in the init script sysctl -q -w vm.max_map_count=$MAX_MAP_COUNT So I'd say things are fine once the service has started. That /usr/lib/sysctl.d/elasticsearch.conf doesn't mean a thing on RHEL6, the MAX_MAP_COUNT in /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch counts. I apologize for the confusion. It was on a customer's server, and i wasn't aware that elasticsearch wasn't running when he queried the system parameters. For my part, learned sth again.
