Hi, Any work around for Elasticsearch v6.2. My s3 compatible storage only accept path\_style\_access request and this option does not exist in ES v6. How can i make it work so s3 plugin can use path\_style\_access instead of using virtual style access in V6.2. Thanks ---

If you upgrade to 7.13 (which you should do anyway), I think that this setting is available again: [Client Settings | Elasticsearch Plugins and Integrations [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-s3-client.html) ---

Actually many elasticsearch services running with v5 and v6. To up-grade by v7 may takes some time. Is there any other solution for v6 apart from the up-gradation. ---

If your storage _requires_ path-style access then it's not really "S3-compatible" since S3 doesn't require path-style access, and indeed [path-style access is being entirely removed from S3](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-s3-path-deprecation-plan-the-rest-of-the-story/). I suggest working with your storage supplier to address this. 6.2 is really old, long past [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol), you should also upgrade as a matter of urgency. One of the improvements in more recent versions is support for Minio which does still expect path-style access. I don't know of any other solution, but then the version you're using is so old that I don't have a working development environment for it any more so I can't even look at the code to check. ---
