Hello everyone, My customer is currently facing a versioning problem. We have an application 'A' that depends (Maven) of ElasticSearch API, which communicates by TransportClient with centralized ElasticSearch Server 'B'. The problem is : when we upgrades 'B', we need to upgrade the Maven dependency in application 'A', which is not a desired coupling design in the long term. I guess this is a common problem for many companies that you should be aware of already. I saw some topics that said ES promised to leverage this design by avoiding being version dependant in a future API version. Right now, we are aiming either to : 1. Wait for a solution from ES (in a reasonable time) 2. Migrate completely to a full REST architecture bypassing the API I hope you can address the 1) before thinking about the 2). What can you say about this problem and how could/would you solution it ? Best regards, Amaury FAGES. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

What is your version A? And version B? Asking that because having different elasticsearch versions should work starting elasticsearch 1.0.

Thank you for answering. Version A is 1.1.2 and B should be above soon or late. The integration team had a problem with A already upgrading the server but if from the 1.0 there "should not" be any dependency problem, I should maybe dig the problems they had exactly. 2015-01-30 17:18 GMT+01:00 David Pilato [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr): > What is your version A? > And version B? > > Asking that because having different elasticsearch versions should work > starting elasticsearch 1.0. > This does not apply to Java versions that need to be consistent. > > -- > _David Pilato_ | _Technical Advocate_ | _[Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) > [http://Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com)_ > @dadoonet [https://twitter.com/dadoonet](https://twitter.com/dadoonet) | @elasticsearchfr > [https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr](https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr) | @scrutmydocs > [https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs](https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs) > > Le 30 janv. 2015 à 15:42, Amaury Fages [afages.dx@gmail.com](mailto:afages.dx@gmail.com) a écrit : > > Hello everyone, > > My customer is currently facing a versioning problem.

Ok, I tried locally with my own ES server 1.4.2 and I didn't notice any problem. We are investigating the team that encountered some problems and are waiting for their returns.
