Unfortunately, installing the latest version breaks indices created with previous versions:

fatal exception while booting Elasticsearch java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot upgrade a node from version [8.17.4] directly to version [9.0.2], upgrade to version [8.18.0] first.

8.18.0 is not available in the AUR, so, unless you are ok with discarding your indices, you will need to manually download it from the Elasticsearch website and install it.

They probably do not have to be

Why are all config files executable?

The package still refers a lot to /opt/elasticsearch, and makes it hard to use ...

Thanks @ipaqmaster. I've added the patch.

The below diff seems to do the trick but this package has other problems. Everything keeps referring to /opt/elasticsearch including /opt/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore create but the service itself runs pointing to /etc/elasticsearch. May be a good idea for this package to take some of the config from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/elasticsearch to help streamline the installation.

Same issue as sohlk.

start elasticsearch.service after install failed, seems like permission issue.

❯ systemctl start elasticsearch.service

❯ systemctl status elasticsearch.service
