Description Oleh 2016-11-04 16:22:12 UTC

as in Summary.
elasticsearch has DATA_DIR specified in /etc/conf.d/elasticsearch, which is ignored if uncommented and set to other place. It keeps write data into /var/lib/elasticsearch

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir -m 0777 /home/oleg/elasticsearch
2. modify /etc/conf.d/elasticsearch to use DATA_DIR=/home/oleg/elasticsearch
3. rc-update add elasticsearch default
4. rc
5. notice that no data is in /home/oleg/elasticsearch ever created
6. notice that /var/lib/elasticsearch data created and used.
