    links:

    volumes:
      - "/opt/elasticsearch/data"
    environment:
       - ES_HEAP_SIZE=512m
elasticsearch2:
    image: elasticsearch:latest
    command: "elasticsearch -Des.cluster.name=workagram -Des.discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts=elasticsearch_master"
    links:
      - elasticsearch_master
    volumes:
      - "/opt/elasticsearch/data"
    environment:
       - ES_HEAP_SIZE=512m
