Answer 1

I had the same issue on a CentOS7 cPanel server with ElasticSearch 7.8 installed via YUM. As per the answer, I did the following:

1. Set ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Djna.tmpdir=/var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp" in /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch
2. mkdir -p /var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp
3. chown -R elasticsearch.elasticsearch /var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp
