I have even tried to add the shards in the yml file but still not able to start the Elasticsearch.

I would like to ask the community to help resolve this issue and help in starting the Elasticsearch.

Elasticsearch version 2.0 is EOL and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.

We went ahead and restored the server to the prior date when Elasticsearch was working, and the issue was resolved.
