[Elasticsearch-OSS] Cannot Start using OSS version

Hi, I am having an error when deploying elasticsearch-oss because is not compatible with node.ml. And the script force to add it. The only way to run it is to edit manually the statefullset and delete:

containers:
      - env:
        - name: node.ml
          value: false,

It doesn’t matter if I set it to false. It crash with this error:

"stacktrace": ["org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown setting [node.ml] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings",

Chart version: 7.11.1

Kubernetes version: v1.18.9

Kubernetes provider: EKS

Helm Version: v3.5.0

Elasticsearch Version: 7.10.2

Thanks!

I had the same issue and I read over the templates a bit, looks like they take the entries from the release’s role list and dynamically create ES config properties. The new default values include a ml and remote_cluster_client whose presence, true or false, would put an unsupported config in to my version of ES (7.2.0 which I’m in the process of upgrading, hence this issue).

The fix? Don’t let the helm template see any value for those two bad keys:

# snippet from my logs-master.yaml value file
roles:
  master: "true"
  ingest: "false"
  data: "false"
  ml:
  remote_cluster_client:

Indeed, that’s why we have a different branch for 6.8 which doesn’t include ml and remote_cluster_client in default values + tags for every releases and we specify here that you should use an Helm chart version is aligned to the version of the product you want to deploy.

We recommend that the Helm chart version is aligned to the version of the product you want to deploy. This will ensure that you using a chart version that has been tested against the corresponding production version. This will also ensure that the documentation and examples for the chart will work with the version of the product you are installing.

For example if you want to deploy an Elasticsearch 7.7.1 cluster, use the corresponding 7.7.1 tag.
