Does Spring Data support Elasticsearch 5.x?

Question

Does the latest version of Spring Data (2.1.0.RELEASE or 3.0.0M1) support Elasticsearch 5.x? If not, When will it support it?

There is no information about this in their docs: Spring Data Elasticsearch

Answer 1

Yes, now spring-data supports Elasticsearch v5.x. It's not supported with RELEASE version, it's supported with BUILD-SNAPSHOT version. To use it, you have to add repository URL as well. For maven project, build script will look something like-

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

<repository>
  <id>spring-libs-snapshot</id>
  <name>Spring Snapshot Repository</name>
  <url>http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot</url>
</repository>

For detail information, you can visit https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-elasticsearch

N.B. While writing this answer, latest version of elasticsearch and spring-data-elasticsearch was 5.4.2 and 3.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT respectively. Those two were compatible.

Answer 2

Not support yet, you can try ES native java api.
