Description dE 2017-01-16 10:01:14 UTC

The permissions of the default directories of this package is wrong.

elasticsearch runs as user elasticsearch, the owner of the following folders must be the same -- 

/var/log/elasticsearch (logdir)
/var/lib/elasticsearch (datadir)

Otherwise ES quits with -- 

Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes

Comment 1 Tomáš Mózes 2017-01-21 05:59:42 UTC

Can you please test with version 5.1.1 that is in the tree?

The init script sets the permissions (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/app-misc/elasticsearch/files/elasticsearch.init7):

checkpath -d -o "${ES_USER}:${ES_GROUP}" -m750 "/var/lib/elasticsearch"
checkpath -d -o "${ES_USER}:${ES_GROUP}" -m750 "/var/log/elasticsearch"

Comment 2 dE 2017-02-24 10:00:54 UTC

Yes, verified.

Thanks!
