Hi,

We're currently running 0.19.8 and I'd like to move to 0.90.0. The release notes for 0.90.0 and 0.20.x both mention that a full cluster restart is required when upgrading from the previous version. Is it possible to go directly from 0.19.8 to 0.90.0, or should I start the cluster with 0.20.x and then move to 0.90.0?

I will of course test everything first, but it'd save a bit of time if I knew jumping straight to 0.90.0 wasn't supposed to work!

## Cheers, Dan

Hi Dan!

I've created databases using ES 0.19.4, then moved to 0.19.10, then moved  
to 0.20.4, and now using 0.90. At no time did I see any issues, and there  
are documents that have been created and updated with all of those versions.

Only caveat: For a cluster, stop all nodes, then upgrade, then restart all  
nodes. Don't let versions mix on the same cluster.

Anyway, that's been my experience!

Regards,  
Brian
