Hi, My OS is Ubuntu 21.04. esrally will hang when I tried the following command. # esrally --pipeline=from-distribution --distribution-version=8.0.0-alpha1 --track=geonames --challenge=append-no-conflicts --include-tasks="delete-index" The last several lines of the log "~/.rally/logs/rally.log": 2021-10-31 17:03:54,889 ActorAddr-(T|:37489)/PID:124618 esrally.actor INFO Cluster consisting of [{'host': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 39200}] will be provisioned by Rally. 2021-10-31 17:03:54,890 ActorAddr-(T|:37489)/PID:124618 esrally.actor INFO Capabilities [{'coordinator': True, 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'Convention Address.IPv4': '127.0.0.1:1900', 'Thespian ActorSystem Name': 'multiprocTCPBase', 'Thespian ActorSystem Version': 2, 'Thespian Watch Supported': True, 'Python Version': (3, 9, 5, 'final', 0), 'Thespian Generation': (3, 9), 'Thespian Version': '1635699831468'}] match requirements [{}]. 2021-10-31 17:03:54,905 ActorAddr-(T|:44235)/PID:124638 esrally.actor INFO Capabilities [{'coordinator': True, 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'Convention Address.IPv4': '127.0.0.1:1900', 'Thespian ActorSystem Name': 'multiprocTCPBase', 'Thespian ActorSystem Version': 2, 'Thespian Watch Supported': True, 'Python Version': (3, 9, 5, 'final', 0), 'Thespian Generation': (3, 9), 'Thespian Version': '1635699831468'}] match requirements [{'coordinator': True}]. The console output is: [INFO] Preparing for race ... I tried using 7.0.0 and it can complete successfully. Moreover, if I tried using version "7.15.1", it will report 'Cannot download Elasticsearch distribution from [[https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss) -7.15.1-linux-x86\_64.tar.gz]. Please check that the specified version [7.15.1] is correct.' Where can I get the latest support elasticsearch version? ---

Thanks a lot for the information. Then can I use the latest Elasticsearch(8.0.0 or above)? I tried using the 8.0.0-alpha, the Elasticsearch could be downloaded successfully, but the esrally will always hang. Does anyone know the reason of the issue? How can I solve it? ---

1. The alpha2 has been out for a while, so I would try that one (though things around security have changed and it will enable security by default now) 2. You might be a little early if you are using the releases (and not dev mode). If it's working great, but I don't think this is actively built for it yet. Somewhat related see [update elasticsearch dependency by Ro0tk1t · Pull Request #1364 · elastic/rally · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/rally/pull/1364) for some upgrading discussions even within 7.x. ---

Thanks a lot. So the current Elasticsearch GitHub code can neither be used, right? ---

In development mode it should work against master (see [GitHub - elastic/rally: Macrobenchmarking framework for Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/rally#installing-rally)), but it's quite fast moving, so what might work with the state of alpha1 or 2 of Elasticsearch I'm not sure of. ---

Hi @shankang, what version of Rally are you using? This can be retrieved with `esrally --version` ---

Because of changes to the distribution naming schemes we had to update some code somewhere in the Rally 2.x era. I highly recommend you update to our latest version, `esrally==2.3.0` ---

Thank you very much. The latest esrally seems to work normally now. I'm trying to optimize the Elasticsearch. Is there anyway to make esrally to use my developping Elasticsearch? ---

You mean you're making changes to Elasticsearch and want to benchmark them? - Rally can build Elasticsearch for you. It clones it in `src.root.dir` (the default is “~/.rally/benchmarks/src” but you can [change that value in rally.ini](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html#node)). - Then, when running a benchmark you can [specify the git revision](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line_reference.html#revision), which allows to compare commits. Can you please open a new topic if you have further questions? ---
