What is the problem this feature will solve?
Currently, ElasticSearch heap size is set using ELASTICSEARCH_HEAP_SIZE env variable.
Elastic docs say, leaving it alone is fine and even recommended, since ES can figure it out itself basing on the available memory.
Default value of ELASTICSEARCH_HEAP_SIZE is very low, so it forces the user to modfiy it for most of the cases.
What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
I think it would be valuable to point out the reason for using ELASTICSEARCH_HEAP_SIZE in the README, and suggest changing it together with memory limit.
What alternatives have you considered?
