Howdy, I'm aware that inter-cluster communications are not guaranteed to be compatible even between minor versions so the Node Client requires everyone to be on the same version. But what about the TransportClient? It appears to work across different versions, but the documentation is not explicit about version compatibility. I've seen the discussion here [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/elasticsearch/-27eav5FOX8/discussion](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/elasticsearch/-27eav5FOX8/discussion) which says TransportClient is guaranteed to work within minor versions, but I just want to check it still holds. Cheers, Dan ---

Yes, TransportClient will work between minor versions.

Are e.g. 1.3 and 1.4 different major or minor versions?

That was a very old thread 🙂 Versions 1.x should be compatibles. So 1.3 and 1.4 can work together.
