First - thank you so much for making this. I understand and support the movements made by Elastic around the OSS/free features - but it was hard not having access to the full free stack on my Mac.

I have elasticsearch 6.8 installed via the old homebrew and I would like to migrate to the new full version. I installed your tap, but how do I move to the new version without losing data?

Many thanks.

Ok - here's what I did

`brew services stop elasticsearch`  
`brew unlink elasticsearch`  
`brew tap elastic/tap`  
`brew install elastic/tap/elasticsearch-full`

I had some problems with the configuration - but generally I just replaced my config with the new default config and then it worked. Same process for kibana.

Great!
