Hey, I would like to ask if there are any option to use existingClaim setting to install elasticsearch using helm? I was not able to find this information here: [https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/elasticsearch) Thank you ---

Hi @voipas, Statefulsets don't allow to reference existing claims. A workaround could be to create your claims with the name that statefulsets will use, in this case, the Statefulset pods should use them instead of creating new ones. More details in [https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/issues/518#issuecomment-726109728](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/issues/518#issuecomment-726109728) ---
