230MB of Heap is very small for most ES usages, and is likely the reason for you needing to restart it often. I run some very large clusters and even with older versions of ES have seen them run billions of indexing and query operations without problems for 4-6 months without any restarts.

I've seen databases which use less memory than that when working. > I run some very large clusters [...] without problems for 4-6 months without any restarts. Well, good for you. Being a sysadmin, I understand very well that my ES server may be a specimen combining bad kernel compilation, broken JVM version, unstable ES release, and ground water emanating bad energy, so I don't complain much. Still, I would be very, very happy to see any alternative for storing JSONified logs.
