I was running on elasticsearch 2.3.1, but I had to upgrade to 5.6.4 (because I wanted to install Kibana/Sense), but ElasticSearch won't start anymore.

This is log from ElasticSearch:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The index [[cyclone3.mysite_sk/Qf5ccdWNRYKFGs4lBffSAQ]] was created with version [1.2.1] but the minimum compatible version is [2.0.0-beta1]. It should be re-indexed in Elasticsearch 2.x before upgrading to 5.6.4.

And lot of the same errors.

Yes I understand that I need to reindex, but how? And does I lose all data?

THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE OF ElasticSearch doesn't start after installing 5.6.4 BECAUSE THIS IS ON THE DIFFERENT SERVER

You need to re-index to be able to do that. Follow the following guide for help on how to do it

  • But it is Reindex before upgrading, I already upgraded it (I think, because I cannot run "curl -XGET 'localhost:9200'", because I cannot start ElasticSearch). I upgraded it by executing 5.6.4 deb file. Commented Nov 13, 2017 at 22:36
  • @tomsk You can still probably reindex, but you need to delete the bad indexes first. The data you have won't work with 5.x. Commented Nov 14, 2017 at 1:00
  • Don't worry, elasticsearch sucks for everyone, just ask Nick Craver Commented Nov 14, 2017 at 5:38
  • But if I delete indexes I will lost data, no? And how can I reindex if elasticsearch wont start. Commented Nov 14, 2017 at 6:59
