I'm trying to upgrade my elasticsearch to version 7.17.8 from version 7.14.0.
I have a single instant with kibana and logstash included.
Current version has quiet a lot of data so it's hard to back it up.
- When I upgrade would the data change or erase? taking a snapshot would only save my meta data on elasticsearch i suppose.
- I couldn't install elasticsearch 7.17.8 right away, it asks me to uninstall the previous one ( causing a file conflict with 7.14.0 files). Is it possible or do i need to uninstall it?
- Do I need to manually delete certain directories or files, such as the yml file in /etc/elasticsearch ?
