root@ip-205-2-177:~# /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -version Version: 5.2.2, Build: f9d9b74/2017-02-24T17:26:45.835Z, JVM: 1.8.0\_73 root@ip-205-2-177:~# My ES cluster is up and running fine.

Hence as per the steps mentioned in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/5.2/repository-s3.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/5.2/repository-s3.html) , I downloaded the repository-s3-5.2.2.zip file and installed with the command (as root user) /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///root/repository-s3-5.2.2.zip Then again started the ES with service elasticsearch start, but ES failed to start with the following exception in the log file. * * * ## [2017-04-19T17:51:51,958][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [10.205.2.177] initializing ...
