Error in 5.0.0-alpha5

I have a elasticsearch cluster here at my office that I have been using to do various things trying to learn more about it. I decided I wanted to upgrade to the new version. At any rate now elasticsearch wont start. It throws the below error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
