Overview
ElasticSearch is an open source, object store and a distributed search and analytics engine. It comes with a developer-friendly query language covering structured, unstructured and time-series data. By default, ElasticSearch uses TCP port 9300.
Installation
For pre-7 versions, Java must be installed as a prerequisite and JAVA_HOME set in the root's environment in /etc/profile.d/java.sh. See:
For 7 and newer, Java is embedded.
Corretto 11 seems to be working with with Elasticsearch 6.8.x.
