As per [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/indexing-performance.html#_storage) documentation we decided to go with Instance Store instead of EBS. I'm trying to upgrade the version of elasticsearch running on our nodes but i see the following in y'alls README: \r\n\r\n> Upgrading Elasticsearch in place is not recommended, and generally not supported by this cookbook. We strongly recommend you pin versions of Elasticsearch and spin up new servers to migrate to a new version, one node at a time. This cookbook does not generally set destructive options like asking the package manager to overwrite configuration files without prompting, either.\r\n\r\nSpinning up new machines with an upgraded version of elasticsearch becomes much more difficult using Instance store because i'll have to spin up an upgraded node and rsync all the data over from the older node and then shut it down. What should users in situations similar to the one i've described above do?\r\n\r\nLet me know if you all would rather me post this on the elasticsearch forums rather than an issue here.

After reading #527  I'm starting to think that it might be easier to just write my own recipe to handle installing/updating elasticsearch. \r\n\r\nupdating from 5.0.2 -> 5.1.1. Right now i'm trying to set up a local vm with 5.0.2 so i can test the update before doing anything in production. But i'm even having an issue with installing 5.0.2 using this cookbook which i've mentioned in #532 and #535"}}
