What is the desired functionality that you are missing?

When updating to a new version I do not have to:

• shut down Optimize
• run scripts manually

Instead when I start a new version of Optimize the schemas are automatically updated and I can continue working with Optimize once the upgrade completed and the new version of Optimize started.

Currently I have to run schema update scripts for updating Optimize to a new version manually against Elasticsearch.

Which problem are you going to solve with this functionality?

• In cloud environments it is relatively difficult to be able to connect to a hosted elastic instance from the machine where the update scripts are located. It makes updating to a new version relatively much work.
• When Optimize runs as a service in the cloud the expectation is that for updates I do not have to shut down the whole instance but just start the new version which performs the upgrade automatically when needed
