Installing twice on same box?

[samjudson]

Hi

I'm trying to install elastic search twice on the same box - or at least run two nodes.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Can it be done using the same binaries, but with a different config file etc?

Cheers.

Currently there's no easy way of doing that.

Why do you want to run more than one node in the same box?

I've just got access to a test box with 256GB of ram, and loads of processors (it will be a production box soon) and I wanted to test setting up a cluster, even if its on a single machine. If its not easy then it probably doesn't matter.
