I'm trying to update from ES 6.4 to ES 6.8 and I have the analysis-phonetic plug-in installed.

From what I can tell in the documentation I need to uninstall the analysis-phonetic plug-in from ES 6.4, update to ES 6.8 and then install the plug-in from 6.8.

When I do that with the first node it never joins the cluster again.

The logs show error messages of java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unexpected field [mapping\_version].

Do I have to reindex to upate while using this plug-in or do I have to bring the cluster down and update every node to while using this plugin-in?
