Elasticsearch restarts once every 10 min

I'm having some problem with elasticsearch restarts once every 10 min.

Here is the log file.

Config file

cluster:
  name: resp

path:
  logs: /tmp/
  data: /opt/www/resp/shared/elasticsearch

This is how elasticsearch is started

elasticsearch -f -Des.config=/opt/www/resp/current/config/elasticsearch.yml

Version

ElasticSearch Version: 0.18.7, JVM: 14.0-b16

Any one know what the problem may be?

Answer 1

I'm not sure why, but the problem was related to god. It restarted the elasticsearch daemon every 10 min.

So the solution was to deactivate god.

Answer 2

ElasticSearch require java 1.6 or greater.

Consider upgrading your JVM
