My problem is that ELasticsearch won't start, so i checked log /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log and I Got an error concerning 'Lucene\_87 missing' ```auto Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An SPI class of type org.apache.lucene.codecs.Codec with name 'Lucene87' does not exist. You need to add the corresponding JAR file supporting this SPI to your classpath.

Support Matrix | Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix) so i checked Kibana and Elasticsearch version and i found out that are both 7.9.1 wich are not compatible with ubuntu 20.04 (and by the way no one did an upgrade to the OS, So my question how come elasticsearch was running on this os, and what I should do now, I mean shoud i reinstall elasticsearch version 7.10.x or higher instead of 7.9.1 or perform an upgrade to the existing version. ---
