Kindly Help, While the Elasticsearch is with the default elasticsearch.yml it is giving such error
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-reconfigure-node --enrollment-token

The [doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/reconfigure-node.html#reconfigure-node) for `elasticsearch-reconfigure-node` CLI says
> The `elasticsearch-reconfigure-node` tool reconfigures an Elasticsearch node that was installed through an RPM or DEB package to join an existing cluster with security features enabled.
Does that match your environment?

I solved the error by reinstalling the elasticsearch and then again enrolling for the cluster token but still don't know the exact reason for the above error.... Environment and all are same while I reinstalled the elasticsearch
