=== Upgrading the keystore

Occasionally, the internal format of the keystore changes. When Elasticsearch is
installed from a package manager, an upgrade of the on-disk keystore to the new
format is done during package upgrade. In other cases, Elasticsearch will
perform such an upgrade during node startup. This requires that Elasticsearch
have write permissions to the directory that contains the keystore.
Alternatively, you can manually perform such an upgrade by using the `upgrade`
command:

[source,sh]
