A JVM exit code of 137 means that the JVM was killed with SIGKILL. Something outside of Elasticsearch is killing the JVM that we start to determine the startup flags. This is almost surely your kernel OOM killer (check your system logs). I don't think there is an Elasticsearch issue. Free free to update this issue with additional information if you think that it is, we would be happy to re-open this issue.
