[SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE/1/state not recovered / initialized];]

Hi. I am trying to move our ES cluster from 1.x to 2.x (2.0.0 to be specific) and facing the below error in elasticsearch logs
[SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE/1/state not recovered / initialized];]

Below is the elasticsearch.yml file

    region: us-east-1

     environment: ${ENVIRONMENT}

Any idea what could be the issue or if something needs to be modified in the above file?
Note: Cluster comprises of 3 master and 4 data nodes.

When upgrading Elasticsearch you should always go to the latest minor version of the major you are upgrading to. That said I do not see the point in upgrading to version 2.4.6 as it was released in 2017 and has been EOL a very long time. It is so old that you may struggle to get any help with it as most people here, myself included, has not used it in many years.

I would recommend you instead upgrade directly to the latest version even though that will require more effort.
