== Rolling upgrades
|
|
|
|
A rolling upgrade allows an Elasticsearch cluster to be upgraded one node at
|
|
a time so upgrading does not interrupt service. Running multiple versions of
|
|
Elasticsearch in the same cluster beyond the duration of an upgrade is
|
|
not supported, as shards cannot be replicated from upgraded nodes to nodes
|
|
running the older version.
|
|
|
|
Rolling upgrades can be performed between minor versions. Elasticsearch
|
|
6.x supports rolling upgrades from *Elasticsearch 5.6*.
|
|
Upgrading from earlier 5.x versions requires a <<restart-upgrade,
|
|
full cluster restart>>. You must <<reindex-upgrade,reindex to upgrade>> from
|
|
versions prior to 5.x.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: If the {es} {security-features} are enabled on your 5.x cluster, before
|
|
you can do a rolling upgrade you must encrypt the internode-communication with
|
|
SSL/TLS, which requires a full cluster restart. For more information about this
|
|
requirement and the associated bootstrap check, see <<bootstrap-checks-tls>>.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: The format used for the internal indices used by Kibana and {xpack}
|
|
has changed in 6.x. When upgrading from 5.6 to 6.x, these internal indices have
|
|
to be {stack-ref}/upgrading-elastic-stack.html#upgrade-internal-indices[upgraded]
|
|
before the rolling upgrade procedure can start. Otherwise the upgraded node will
|
|
refuse to join the cluster.
|
|
|
|
To perform a rolling upgrade:
|
|
|
|
. *Disable shard allocation*.
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
include::disable-shard-alloc.asciidoc[]
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. *Stop non-essential indexing and perform a synced flush.* (Optional)
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
While you can continue indexing during the upgrade, shard recovery
|
|
is much faster if you temporarily stop non-essential indexing and perform a
|
|
<<indices-synced-flush, synced-flush>>.
|
|
|
|
include::synced-flush.asciidoc[]
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. *Stop any machine learning jobs that are running.* See
|
|
{xpack-ref}/stopping-ml.html[Stopping Machine Learning].
|
|
|
|
. [[upgrade-node]] *Shut down a single node*.
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
include::shut-down-node.asciidoc[]
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. *Upgrade the node you shut down.*
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
include::remove-xpack.asciidoc[]
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
include::upgrade-node.asciidoc[]
|
|
include::set-paths-tip.asciidoc[]
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. *Upgrade any plugins.*
|
|
+
|
|
Use the `elasticsearch-plugin` script to install the upgraded version of each
|
|
installed Elasticsearch plugin. All plugins must be upgraded when you upgrade
|
|
a node.
|
|
|
|
. *Start the upgraded node.*
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
Start the newly-upgraded node and confirm that it joins the cluster by checking
|
|
the log file or by submitting a `_cat/nodes` request:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET _cat/nodes
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. *Reenable shard allocation.*
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
Once the node has joined the cluster, remove the `cluster.routing.allocation.enable`
|
|
setting to enable shard allocation and start using the node:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT _cluster/settings
|
|
{
|
|
"persistent": {
|
|
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. *Wait for the node to recover.*
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
Before upgrading the next node, wait for the cluster to finish shard allocation.
|
|
You can check progress by submitting a <<cat-health,`_cat/health`>> request:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET _cat/health
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
|
|
Wait for the `status` column to switch from `yellow` to `green`. Once the
|
|
node is `green`, all primary and replica shards have been allocated.
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
====================================================
|
|
During a rolling upgrade, primary shards assigned to a node running the new
|
|
version cannot have their replicas assigned to a node with the old
|
|
version. The new version might have a different data format that is
|
|
not understood by the old version.
|
|
|
|
If it is not possible to assign the replica shards to another node
|
|
(there is only one upgraded node in the cluster), the replica
|
|
shards remain unassigned and status stays `yellow`.
|
|
|
|
In this case, you can proceed once there are no initializing or relocating shards
|
|
(check the `init` and `relo` columns).
|
|
|
|
As soon as another node is upgraded, the replicas can be assigned and the
|
|
status will change to `green`.
|
|
====================================================
|
|
|
|
Shards that were not <<indices-synced-flush,sync-flushed>> might take longer to
|
|
recover. You can monitor the recovery status of individual shards by
|
|
submitting a <<cat-recovery,`_cat/recovery`>> request:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET _cat/recovery
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
|
|
If you stopped indexing, it is safe to resume indexing as soon as
|
|
recovery completes.
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. *Repeat*
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
When the node has recovered and the cluster is stable, repeat these steps
|
|
for each node that needs to be updated.
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. *Restart machine learning jobs.*
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
====================================================
|
|
|
|
During a rolling upgrade, the cluster continues to operate normally. However,
|
|
any new functionality is disabled or operates in a backward compatible mode
|
|
until all nodes in the cluster are upgraded. New functionality
|
|
becomes operational once the upgrade is complete and all nodes are running the
|
|
new version. Once that has happened, there's no way to return to operating
|
|
in a backward compatible mode. Nodes running the previous major version will
|
|
not be allowed to join the fully-updated cluster.
|
|
|
|
In the unlikely case of a network malfunction during the upgrade process that
|
|
isolates all remaining old nodes from the cluster, you must take the
|
|
old nodes offline and upgrade them to enable them to join the cluster.
