Elasticsearch restart failed

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

when yum install elasticsearch && confifure yml,can start elasticsearch succeed,but when I again retsrat elasticsearch will happend errors,like example:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: detected index data in default.path.data [/var/lib/elasticsearch] where there should not be any; check the logs for details

CentOS 6.9 + elastic stack latest version.

i found through delete nodes can solve this problems,but i don't every time execute delete.

Do you mean 5.3.1?

3

yes. I add elasticsearch repo in local. su yum now is 5.3.1

4

I have the same issue since the upgrade to 5.3.1

5

I remember 5.2.x also can't use restart elastic.

6

I created a support case for this

7

I removed the "-Edefault.path.data=${DATA_DIR} " parameter from the startup command and everything works fine again.

The default.data.path is defined in the elasticsearch.yml file

8

this solve to me after update. thanks

9

but the elasticsearch version is latest

yes, this start after update your elastic for latest version.
u can read some info here:
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/6887

and here:
https://www.elastic.co/blog/multi-data-path-bug-in-elasticsearch-5-3-0

u just need to find you elasticsearch.service and remove that line and restart.
-E default.path.data=${DATA_DIR}
