Hello everyone, i'm student from Viet Nam, my english is not good, hope you understand for me. I have researched on google, Spring only supports for Elasticsearch version 7.1.x. So how can i do to configure connect Elasticsearch version 8.0. Can I use "Elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client" version 8.0.0-apha2, can't it? If true, please give me some examples to configure it! Thank you very much! ---

You need to use the client 7.17 and I think that you might not be able yet to upgrade to elastic 8. If you are just using spring and not spring data, then you can do what you want. ---

Are you using spring or spring data? ---

Then you must use the compatibility mode in 8.0, so it can still use the old high-level client that's currently used in Spring Data: [Migrating from the High Level Rest Client | Elasticsearch Java API Client [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/current/migrate-hlrc.html#_compatibility_mode_using_a_7_17_client_with_elasticsearch_8_x) Also use at least Elasticsearch 8.1.2 (the current version), otherwise you'll run into [bulk index response from 8.0.0 not compatible although headers are set · Issue #84173 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/84173) And for the "full" 8.0 support you'll need to wait for next major Spring Data version: [https://twitter.com/sothawo/status/1509038086541352965](https://twitter.com/sothawo/status/1509038086541352965) ---
