I want to upgrade the ES version from 2.3 to 5.0.0-alpha4 in order to be able to use the Ingest nodes and remove Logstash from the question. But it looks like ES 5.x will not start without me setting vm.max_map_count to 262144. I do not want to set this value. I am fine with the default value of 65530. Can anyone guide me how to get ES 5. x started without changing the memory settings. I do not have access to the root user on the host on which I want to install ES.
