+# == Define: elasticsearch::service::systemd
+#
+# This define exists to coordinate all service management related actions,
+# functionality and logical units in a central place.
+#
+# <b>Note:</b> "service" is the Puppet term and type for background processes
+# in general and is used in a platform-independent way. E.g. "service" means
+# "daemon" in relation to Unix-like systems.
+#
+#
+# === Parameters
+#
+# [*ensure*]
+#   String. Controls if the managed resources shall be <tt>present</tt> or
+#   <tt>absent</tt>. If set to <tt>absent</tt>:
+#   * The managed software packages are being uninstalled.
+#   * Any traces of the packages will be purged as good as possible. This may
+#     include existing configuration files. The exact behavior is provider
+#     dependent. Q.v.:
+#     * Puppet type reference: {package, "purgeable"}[http://j.mp/xbxmNP]
+#     * {Puppet's package provider source code}[http://j.mp/wtVCaL]
+#   * System modifications (if any) will be reverted as good as possible
+#     (e.g. removal of created users, services, changed log settings, ...).
+#   * This is thus destructive and should be used with care.
+#   Defaults to <tt>present</tt>.
+#
+# [*status*]
+#   String to define the status of the service. Possible values:
+#   * <tt>enabled</tt>: Service is running and will be started at boot time.
+#   * <tt>disabled</tt>: Service is stopped and will not be started at boot
+#     time.
+#   * <tt>running</tt>: Service is running but will not be started at boot time.
+#     You can use this to start a service on the first Puppet run instead of
+#     the system startup.
+#   * <tt>unmanaged</tt>: Service will not be started at boot time and Puppet
+#     does not care whether the service is running or not. For example, this may
+#     be useful if a cluster management software is used to decide when to start
+#     the service plus assuring it is running on the desired node.
+#   Defaults to <tt>enabled</tt>. The singular form ("service") is used for the
+#   sake of convenience. Of course, the defined status affects all services if
+#   more than one is managed (see <tt>service.pp</tt> to check if this is the
+#   case).
+#
+# [*init_defaults*]
+#   Defaults file content in hash representation
+#
+# [*init_defaults_file*]
+#   Defaults file as puppet resource
+#
+# [*init_template*]
+#   Service file as a template
+#
+# === Authors
+#
