Steven, Forgot to mention an issue which might be important to you... On one test run I did awhile back when I removed elasticsearch entirely and re-installed, I discovered it had replace my customized elasticsearch.yml with the default which IMO is the <wrong> behavior. To guard against this, if you remove elasticsearch with the intention of re-installing you should first cp elasticsearch.yml and maybe even /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch Tony
