Im running ElasticSearch 1.3.2 on Centos 6.5 with the terminal like so:

bin/elasticsearch -console

My server has 16GB of RAM. How do I give 8GB of it to ES?

This post may have the answer but I just couldnt piece it together. Further the docs have only confused me more...

Its good practice to should keep 50% memory for Elasticsearch Heap Size. As you mentioned you don't have service wrapper. In this case you can assign heap size while starting elasticsearch services.

bin/elasticsearch ES_HEAP_SIZE=8000m
