Description:
The package "elasticsearch" has a dependency on "java-runtime". As it does not provide any GUI, depending on "java-runtime-headless" should be sufficient. Only depending on the headless version has the benefit of not requiring any X.org-related packages, icon-themes, etc.

In fact, I run elasticsearch with a headless java on a headless system without any issues since a couple of hours.

There is a related bug-report for Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775214

Steps to reproduce:
* Remove the elasticsearch and java-runtime packages from your system
* Install java-runtime-headless manually as a dependency (pacman -S --asdeps java-runtime-headless)
* Install elasticsearch without dependencies (pacman -Sdd elasticsearch)
* Run elasticsearch
This task depends upon
