While upgrading ES to version 5.6.16 throws error plugin [repository-s3] is incompatible with versio-CodePudding

While upgrading ES to version 5.6.16, did a system restart for the new version to take effort.

Tried to get ES version, for which it said connection refused.

Then when I manually start elastic search throws error

plugin [repository-s3] is incompatible with version [5.6.16]; was designed for version [5.2.0]

CodePudding user response：

This repository plugin is used for snapshot/restore solution. To run it please upgrade plugin also to 5.6.16 version

sudo ./elasticsearch-plugin install -b  file:///pathToPluginZipFile/repository-s3-5.6.16.zip

What worked for me is that I uninstalled the repository-s3 Then reinstalled it. Then I manually started the ES and it worked.
