I updated a Bitbucket instance from 7.6.2 to 7.6.14 yesterday. Recognized later that the bundled Elasticsearch sub process has not been started by the start up scripts. That was the case until the upgrade, so elasticsearch has always been started by the parental Bitbucket process before.
I think I found the root cause:
- the installer file for the Bitbucket upgrade on Linux changed the /etc/rc.d/init.d/atlbitbucket file and calls "/opt/atlassian/bitbucket/7.6.14/bin/start-bitbucket.sh --no-search", which, of course, prevents the elasticsearch process from starting
Any idea why this has been introduced? I did not find anything in the release notes: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/bitbucket-server-7-6-release-notes-1018780800.html
