3. Run the playbook

4. See the error on the server:

Additional context

probably because the files from the new tar are extracted to existing os_home dir, and land next to older existing files, there's this "jar hell" problem ?

Adding @rodolfovillordo can you add your thoughts here?

Hey @erikrs do you continue to see this error?

I just encountered the same tried to upgrade old install and I think the problem relates to #25

Hey @Kampfmoehre thanks, can you please contribute with the fix? @peterzhuamazon @bbarani

I don't have a fix unfortunately. I opened the ticket one year ago when we wanted to replace Elastic Search with OpenSearch but we had difficulties with it. So we stick with ES until now where I try once again to make OS work. This time I just erased the whole OpenSearch directory before installing it again. I don't thing that is feasible for this playbook but I also don't know enough of OpenSearch to know which files should be cleaned before updating it. I remember from last time that clearing the plugin directory alone was not enough, though I don't remember exactly what other directories where the problem.

Hello. I got a similar problem when upgrading from 2.8.0 to 2.10.0. Cleaning up 3 directories helped me.

You can add a task to the beginning of main.yml:

- name: Clear opensearch directoryes
  ansible.builtin.file:
    state: absent
    path: "{{ item }}"
  with_items:
    - /usr/share/opensearch/lib/
    - /usr/share/opensearch/plugins/
    - /usr/share/opensearch/modules/
