Installed Elasticsearch 6.7.0 and the service fails to start with the following error:

> [2019-03-28T15:25:28,350][WARN][o.e.b.ElasticsearchUncaughtExceptionHandler] [cRr44aA] uncaught exception in thread [main]  
> org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown setting [repositories.s3.bucket] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings

I verified that the s3 plugin is installed and the config for s3 in the elasticsearch.yml looks like this:

```
repositories:
  s3:
    bucket: <bucket_name>
    region: <region>

```

Any idea why that's failing and what needs to be changed? I have been unable to find documentation on what the elasticsearch.yml file should look like for the s3 plugin. Note that the above config is working in 5.x
