Elasticsearch部署异常Permission denied

异常描述

　　在Linux上部署ElasticSearch时抛出了一个异常如下：

log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/local/elasticsearch/logs/elasticsearch.log
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)

　　以为自己权限不够，使用sudo运行，仍旧抛出如下错误：

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: don't run elasticsearch as root.

Refer to the log for complete error details.

解决方案

　　将ElasticSearch的安装目录及其子目录改为另外一个非root账户，如：

异常原因

　　由于ElasticSearch可以接收用户的脚本并执行，处于安全性考虑，建议创建一个单独的用户来运行ElasticSearch。当然，可以通过配置来实现root用户启动。
     修改bin目录elasticsearch.in.sh文件中追加（不过不建议）：

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Des.insecure.allow.root=true"
