I have elastic 5 nodes cluster,  
node1-master only  
node2-master only  
node3-data\_ingest  
node4-data+ingest  
node5-master+data+ingest

Can upgrade node1 before upgrade node5?  
Thank you!

As per [Rolling upgrades](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rolling-upgrades.html), you should be upgrading nodes that are **not** [master-eligible](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-node.html#master-node) first then move on to Master-eligible nodes.

So in your case, it should be in the order of 3,4,5,1,2
