we are using elasticserach v2.1.0 on production server(centos 7, 64bit).  
we need to upgrade to v5.2.2.  
i don't see any upgrade scripts from elasticsearch website or other sources.  
i have followed ElasticSearch Upgrade documentation:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-upgrade.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-upgrade.html)

i stuck on upgrade\_note section  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rolling-upgrades.html#upgrade-node](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rolling-upgrades.html#upgrade-node)  
i don't see much details about 'Section: 3 Stop and upgrade a single node"

i am getting few exception while installing 'rpm -ivh v5.2.2' on elasticsearch box(v2.1.0 running)  
can you please help/share upgrade process steps/script if available.  
Thanks

You will need to follow [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/restart-upgrade.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/restart-upgrade.html) as you cannot do rolling upgrades between major versions.

direct upgrade procedure is not available in shared link.  
elasticsearch v2.1.0 is running on centos7 machine.  
i want to upgrade to ealsticsearch v5.2.2  
i have used ' **Installing from the RPM repository**' section  
URL: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rpm.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rpm.html)  
sudo yum install elasticsearch  
is worked well, but it is always download/upgrading latest elasticsearch i.e. 5.3+ not 5.2.2  
hence i have following below section steps.  
**Download and install the RPM manually**  
i have seen couple of exception as described above, hence i have uninstalled elasticsearchv2.1.0 and installed new version v5.2.2. it works well.  
is above approach correct? let me know your thoughts.
