elasticsearch不能以root运行的问题

当我们在使用elasticsearch的时候，如果是以root权限来执行elasticsearch

./elasticsearch
1

则会有以下报错

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: don't run elasticsearch as root.    at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.initializeNatives(Bootstrap.java:94)    at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.setup(Bootstrap.java:160)    at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:286)    at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:35)Refer to the log for complete error details.

这是出于系统安全考虑设置的条件。由于ElasticSearch可以接收用户输入的脚本并且执行，为了系统安全考虑，
建议创建一个单独的用户用来运行ElasticSearch

创建elsearch用户组及elsearch用户

groupadd elsearchuseradd elsearch -g elsearch -p elasticsearch            #useradd [user name] -g [group name] -p [password]

更改elasticsearch文件夹及内部文件的所属用户及组为elsearch:elsearch

chown -R elsearch:elsearch  elasticsearch               #chown -R [user name:group name] 该用户所分配有权限的目录
1

elasticsearch为你elasticsearch的目录名称

切换到elsearch用户再启动

su elsearch #切换账户cd elasticsearch/bin #进入你的elasticsearch目录下的bin目录./elasticsearch

启动后会打印正常启动日志信息如下

之后如果再启动的话（如果是以root权限登录服务器），只需要执行切换账户，然后运行elasticsearch就可以了

su elsearch #切换账户cd elasticsearch/bin #进入你的elasticsearch目录下的bin目录./elasticsearch

ElasticSearch后台启动命令

./elasticsearch -d

查看后台命令是否启动成功

ps aux|grep elasticsearch
1

结果
