Can I use elastic.v7 with Elasticsearch 8.x for basic ES operations

[cmadarsh]

Which version of Elastic are you using?

elastic.v7 (for Elasticsearch 8.x)

Problem statement

Tried implementing elastic v7 with Elasticsearch version 8.x, and its working fine.

Please describe the actual behavior

Basic connectivity and ES CRUD operations are working fine.

Query?

As basic things are working fine, what issues I can anticipate with this combination of versions elastic.v7 with elasticsearch 8.x?

Just can certainly try, but you're much better off using the official client.

Thanks Olivere..
I basically needed a library with which I can build a wrapper for dynamic query generation and as this library provides structs for queries, mainly on nested and inner hits, it would help me. Official client does not provide structs, need to provide direct JSON queries.

The library is very good, for my usage, can I expect elastic v8 next year?

@cmadarsh Have you seen the latest changes to the official client that come with the typed client? It has a proper DSL now: For the requests now, for responses later.

As for Elastic v8: That won't happen. See my latest update in #1533.
