I am currently struggling of using new version elasticsearch with spring data elasticsearch. But spring data elasticsearch works with finde upto elasticsearch 1.7.4.

is there possible to enable compression technique on old version of elaticsearch(1.7.4)?  
Or is already exists ?

It is enabled in 1.7, I can't recall when we added it but it's been around for a while.  
2.X has `best_compression`, which is even better.
