Description:
If you enable cirrussearch role, you're stuck with elastic search server hogging your resources forever, even after cirrussearch role is disabled. If you run top, you're likely to see something like this in the first line:
1129 elastic+ 20 0 1623836 195716 0 S 3.6 19.2 0:16.94 java

Over time this process seems to be slowing down the virtual machine so much that pages take more than 30 seconds to load (or fail with HTTP 503 Service unavailable).

As a workaround you can run this in vagrant ssh:

sudo service elasticsearch stop && sudo rm -f /etc/init/elasticsearch.conf
