Hello,
When we updated elasticsearch in the past we had to remove x-pack and reinstall after the update. Starting from 6.3, it seems x-pack is provided in the yum package.
So our automation generates an error during attempt of x-pack installation:
`"ERROR: this distribution of Elasticsearch contains X-Pack by default"`
So I guess we can just omit the removal and reinstallation of x-pack in future updates of elasticsearch?
Grtz
Willem
