Usage

Compatibility

Language clients are forward compatible: each client version works with equivalent and later minor versions of Elasticsearch without breaking.

Compatibility does not imply full feature parity. New Elasticsearch features are supported only in equivalent client versions. For example, an 8.12 client fully supports Elasticsearch 8.12 features and works with 8.13 without breaking; however, it does not support new Elasticsearch 8.13 features. An 8.13 client fully supports Elasticsearch 8.13 features.

Elasticsearch version	elasticsearch-py branch
main	main
9.x	9.x
9.x	8.x
8.x	8.x

Elasticsearch language clients are also backward compatible across minor versions — with default distributions and without guarantees.

> [!TIP] > To upgrade to a new major version, first upgrade Elasticsearch, then upgrade the Python Elasticsearch client.

If you need to work with multiple client versions, note that older versions are also released as elasticsearch7 and elasticsearch8.

Documentation

Documentation for the client is available on elastic.co and Read the Docs.
