Hello there,

# pkg info | grep jre
openjdk8-jre-8.162.12          Java Runtime Environment 8
# pkg info|grep ela
elasticsearch5-5.6.8_5         Full-text search engine for Java
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/elasticsearch onestart
Starting elasticsearch.
# ps aux|grep elastic
elasticsearch  984 33.4  7.5 2400008 619152  0  S    21:04   0:05.49  
/usr/local/openjdk8/bin/java -Xms2g -Xmx2g -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC  
-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFra

Everything is with the default options

Which version of jre are you using ?
