I ran _yum update_ to update to latest version (5.1.1 to 5.1.2), but after update elasticsearch won't come up and I'm seeing this error inside of logs... ---

> [@alexus](#): > > /usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/elasticsearch-5.1.1.jar requires Elasticsearch 5.1.1 Can you look through your Elasticsearch directories to confirm that the yum update ran successfully. All files should be placed in their proper locations, and config files should not be overwritten. ---

FYI, I re-installed elasticsearch (_yum remove elasticsearch_ && _yum install elasticsearch_) and now it's all peachy) ---
