helm upgrade 7.17.1 to 8.1.0

[ts100x]

I've upgraded elastic master from 7.17.1 to 8.1.0 using the command:
helm upgrade --wait --timeout=300s --install --values master-8.1.0.yaml elasticsearch-master elastic/elasticsearch -n xxxxxx

The upgrade was failed with the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapException: org.elasticsearch.cli.UserException: will not overwrite keystore at [/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.keystore], because this incurs changing the file owner

Is this upgrade command valid?
How we can upgrade the elastic from 7.17.1 to 8.1.0?
When 8.x chart will be available?

+1 When I attempt to update my elastic/filebeat/kibana to 8.1.2 from the chart 7 version I get install errors on elastic plus incompatibilities on kibana. While diagnosing why filebeat json decode_json_fields doesn't work.

I think is not supported yet, it is taking them so much to support 8.x, and 1 month without commits in this repo, i dont know if they are still alive here
