elasticsearch updates and plugin issues
Raw
es-updates-plugin-errors.txt
Even with minor updates, elasticsearch often fails.
tl;dr: removing and re-installing plugins resolves the issue
> sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove ingest-attachment
> sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install ingest-attachment
(ingest-attachment is the lone es plugin I'm currently running)
the service fails to start with
Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.'''
the status and journal message details aren't directly actionable, but
/var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log
shows plugin errors like
Exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Plugin [ingest-attachment] was built for Elasticsearch version 7.10.0 but version 7.10.1 is running
the service throws similar errors for other major and minor updates, so I've changed my approach with apt upgrades.
es has become much more straightforward to admin and runs well locally, in a container, and on servers. This has hightened my expectations and makes the three-tiered errors thrown stick out poorly.
