Welcome!

Whatever the answer could be, you need to first think of upgrading to at the very least 7.17.27 even though this version won't get any enhancement but major security fixes.

Better to upgrade to 8.18.2 or even better 9.0.2.  
Then a whole new world will be available for you. And I think that Spring Data is now using the most recent client versions...

I see the 7.17.x last version is 7.17.28,I can update to this version,  
and more,can I update to 8.x（ex 8.13.4 for spring boot es 5.3.10）,to connect my ES server (version 7.10.2)?  
because I want update my project from spring boot 2.6.x to 3.3.10,It see need update spring boot es to 5.3.10,so forece update es client to 8.13.4

I meant to update the server. Not only the client...
