Hello,

We are experiencing these issues on our ECK instance running 5 concurrent pods, sporadically some pods stop and change to a crashloopbackoff state with the below errors.

We are mounting the plugin cache folder as an empty dir.

```auto
Defaulted container "elasticsearch" out of: elasticsearch, elastic-internal-init-filesystem (init), elastic-internal-init-keystore (init), elastic-internal-suspend (init)
Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.NotDirectoryException: /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/.elasticsearch-plugins.yml.cache
