The error message you shared in [Unable to start Elasticsearch - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Duplicate key org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService$Bundle@e3623fe](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-start-elasticsearch-java-lang-illegalstateexception-duplicate-key-org-elasticsearch-plugins-pluginsservice-bundle-e3623fe/170847/23) is different.

Which one is the most accurate now?

Here the message seems to indicate that you upgraded from an old version, did you?  
If you don't have important old data and are ok to drop it, you can just delete the `elasticsearch_nathan` dir.
