Seafile Pro Server Search not working after upgrade to 7.0.7 and 7.0.8

Seafile Server

Hello,

After upgrading from 6.13 to 7.0.7 and then 7.0.8 the search function has stopped working. I am running the latest jdk 1.8 and when I try to run ./pro/pro.py search -update it fails

Updating search index, this may take a while…

Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Thanks

Maybe the same as : Seafile pro edition 7.0.8 is ready!

Have also tried stopping seafile and deleting the elasticsearch node.lock file and search still does not work.

Checking the elasticsearch.log shows error elasticsearch can not run as root. How do I set elasticsearch to run as user. Do I just change ownership of elasticsearch folder?
