Hey,

when installing Elasticsearch from the AUR, the directory /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/scripts is not created. This leads to errors like this

$ Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to access 'path.conf' (/usr/share/elasticsearch/config)
$ Likely root cause: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /usr/share/elasticsearch/config

This happens, when I try to start a test cluster on port 9250; it'll exit with status 1. When I create a directory config/scripts, everything is fine and working.

I use ES in a Ruby on Rails Application and start the test cluster via a rake task of the ruby elasticsearch bindings: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-ruby. It basically spawns a process by the command

$ elasticsearch \
$ -D es.http.port=9250 \
$ -D es.cluster.name=elasticsearch-test-myhostname \
$ -D es.node.name=node-1 \
$ -D es.path.data=/tmp/elasticsearch_test \
$ -D es.path.work=/tmp \
$ -D es.path.logs=/var/log/elasticsearch \
$ -D es.discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled=true \
$ -D es.network.host=localhost \
$ > /dev/null

Details of the process spawning can be seen there: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-ruby/blob/master/elasticsearch-extensions/lib/elasticsearch/extensions/test/cluster.rb#L78-L155

I don't exactly know, at which version this error occurs, but I guess it was since version > 2.0.0, I have 2.1.1-1.
Shouldn't the directory be created during the installation?
