Public bug reported:
According to /etc/init.d/elasticsearch, it's supposed to save its PID
file in /var/run/elasticsearch.pid. But it can't, because it's also
supposed to run as the user elasticsearch, which doesn't have write
access to /var/run.
The init script needs to be changed to use /var/run/$NAME/$NAME.pid and
to create /var/run/$NAME if it doesn't exist, and make it owned by the
user elasticsearch and group elasticsearch, before starting
elasticsearch.
** Affects: elasticsearch (Ubuntu)
