Download the latest version of Elasticsearch or sign-up for a free trial of Elastic Cloud.
Compatibility
Go
Starting from version 8.12.0, this library follow the Go language policy. Each major Go release is supported until there are two newer major releases. For example, Go 1.5 was supported until the Go 1.7 release, and Go 1.6 was supported until the Go 1.8 release.
Elasticsearch
Language clients are forward compatible; meaning that clients support communicating with greater or equal minor versions of Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch language clients are only backwards compatible with default distributions and without guarantees made.
When using Go modules, include the version in the import path, and specify either an explicit version or a branch:
require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8 v8.0.0
require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7 7.17
It's possible to use multiple versions of the client in a single project:
// go.mod
github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7 v7.17.0
github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8 v8.0.0
// main.go
import (
elasticsearch7 "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7"
elasticsearch8 "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8"
)
// ...
es7, _ := elasticsearch7.NewDefaultClient()
es8, _ := elasticsearch8.NewDefaultClient()
The main branch of the client is compatible with the current master branch of Elasticsearch.
