An Elasticsearch from the past

Here’s a procedure I came up with in order to migrate an elasticsearch 1.1 database to version 6 (actually 6.4 but probably any 6.x version).

Fire up a temporary elasticsearch version 1.1

Fetch the tar.gz version from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/filebeat-1-1-2 and untar it.

Use the following basic configuration file

$ egrep -v '^[[:space:]]*(#|$)' ~/tmp/elasticsearch-1.1.2/config/elasticsearch.yml 
http.port: 9202
transport.tcp.port: 9302
path.conf: /home/imil/tmp/elasticsearch-1.1.2/config
path.data: /var/db/elasticsearch

Note that I changed the standard ports to $((standard_port + 2)).

From the untarred directory, lauch elasticsearch
