elasticsearch-formula

This formula is a fork of alias454's work.

Here is the list of changes:

• The formula is now compatible with Debian-based distros
• It is now possible to create LVM structure and format the target volumes (disabled by default)
• Firewalld-related code was removed as I believe it is out of scope of this formula
• Sysctl-related code is simplified as Salt would automatically create override files by default
• Minimum master nodes is now 2 by default (configurable) and master role is set to true by default to facilitate correct cluster setup

A saltstack formula to manage elasticsearch 2.x and 5.x clusters on RHEL and Debian based systems.

Note

See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.
