After you add an upgraded Elasticsearch node, indicate whether to update the new node with the index details. Then manually run the Initially Index Smart Search Data batch jobs to add indexes to the upgraded node. The existing node continues to manage search requests. When the batch jobs run successfully and the node is updated, the new node can manage search requests.
Applies when you upgrade from Elasticsearch Version 6 to Version 7. Elasticsearch authentication support is valid only for Version 7.x.
