0. 操作系统：CentOS release 5.6 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

1. 安装 java jdk1.8 （参考：Centos 6.5 安装java及设置默认jdk版本）
2. 下载安装包：elasticsearch-5.0.0.tar.zip

注：此为虚拟机测试，以下系统资源配置会较低。

解决：修改配置
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/setting-system-settings.html

# vi /etc/security/limits.conf		#永久设置

解决：修改足够的内存
