Hello,

I would like to upgrade this morning my cluster from 0.17.8 version to  
0.18.1.  
Based on the debian package deployement.

I deploy 0.18.1 on one node expecting it could join the running  
cluster (version 0.17.8). but I get this error for all node of the  
cluster :

the new node keep aside with its own cluster of 1 node ...

I rollbacked to 0.17.8 and the node keep joining the cluster.

Hi Damien

You can't mix major versions of Elasticsearch.

I posted an example of how to upgrade a running cluster a few days ago:

[http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/SImple-question-Is-elasticsearch-production-use-ready-td3430946.html#a3453676](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/SImple-question-Is-elasticsearch-production-use-ready-td3430946.html#a3453676)

I got the same error on two-node cluster with 1 replica on test  
environment when doing rolling restart for the upgrade, but the two  
nodes worked fine after upgrade.

I have cluster with 6 nodes with 2 replicas on production. Is  
rolling restart upgrade safe for this 6-node cluster?
