I am running logstash in a docker container. There are 7-8 logstash pipelines defined under pipelines.yml file. Queue type for every pipeline is "persisted". Everything was working fine but recently whenever I am starting the docker container, I am seeing all the logstash pipelines are failing with the same error.

```auto
bidos-logstash_1 | warning: thread "Converge PipelineAction::Create<webscada_stream.conf>" terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
bidos-logstash_1 | LogStash::Error: Don't know how to handle `Java::JavaLang::IllegalStateException` for `PipelineAction::Create<webscada_stream.conf>`

bidos-logstash_1 | org.logstash.LockException: The queue failed to obtain exclusive access, cause: Lock held by this virtual machine on lock path: /usr/share/logstash/data/queue/webscada_stream.conf/.lock

```

Can somebody please help as I am not able to figure out what is going wrong here.
