We are in the process of rolling out a new plugin to our Elasticsearch service. A full changelog for those hosting CommCare will be posted shortly.

For now there are some changes to the **local development environment** setup:

- Update Elasticsearch docker containers to include a new plugin (phonetic-analysis).

### Docker update steps

Before running this process you should ensure that you have updated your Git repository to pull in the most recent changes on the `master` branch.

1. Update docker containers

```shell
./scripts/docker stop elasticsearch2
./scripts/docker rm elasticsearch2
./scripts/docker up -d elasticsearch2

```

1. Check that the new plugin is installed

```shell
curl "localhost:9200/_cat/plugins?s=component&h=component,version"
> analysis-phonetic 2.4.6

```

1. Recreate the affected index

```shell
./manage.py ptop_reindexer_v2 case-search --cleanup

```

### Non-docker update steps

If you are running ES outside of docker you need to manually install the plugin and restart your ES service:

**Elasticsearch v2**

```shell
$ <es home>/bin/plugin install analysis-phonetic

```

**Elasticsearch v5**

```shell
$ <es home>/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install analysis-phonetic

```

Now restart your ES service.
