:exclamation: Before proceeding, make sure that your Elasticsearch cluster consists of __at least 3 nodes__. For example 3 Elasticsearch nodes running on two machines is perfectly fine for this.

There are 3 Elasticsearch nodes required, as there must always be a master node in the cluster. If this master node is stopped, a quorum of remaining cluster nodes must still be running to elect a new master, otherwise an upgraded Elasticsearch node cannot join the cluster.

### Can I downgrade back to a previous version?

No, you cannot downgrade from a newer version to an older one. You will see the following error message:

`cannot downgrade a node from version [7.16.1] to version [7.15.2]`

Please note that as soon as a newer Elasticsearch node was started, the data stored on the volume was updated, which makes it impossible to start an older version.
