We have a bootstrap check for the maximum size of the virtual memory address space for the Elasticsearch process. We can set this in the service file for Elasticsearch when installed as a service on systemd-based systems for a better user experience than them fumbling through thinking they should set this via /etc/security/limits.d (as a lot of pages on the Internet would tell them) not realizing that systemd completely ignores these for services and then trying to figure out how to add a unit file for the Elasticsearch service.
