Unwanted Upgrade ElasticSearch version

Question

I made a mistake by trying to upgrade my elasticsearch version from 6.3.2 to 7.2.0.

I launched my container with the new version but I realized that kibana does not work anymore.

So I decided to downgrade elasticsearch to 6.3.2 to get a quick fix but it still not working. I got the following error :

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.

Do someone have any idea for a quick fix ?

Answer 1

I resolved the upgrade issue. Downgraded seems to be forbidden so I had no choice to upgrade elasticsearch and kibana versions.
