editTo install the 7.x version of the client, add the package to your go.mod
file:
require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7 7.16
Or, clone the repository:
git clone --branch 7.16 https://github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch.git $GOPATH/src/github
To install another version, modify the path or the branch name accordingly. The client major versions correspond to the Elasticsearch major versions.
You can find a complete example of installation below:
mkdir my-elasticsearch-app && cd my-elasticsearch-app cat > go.mod <<-END module my-elasticsearch-app require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8 main END cat > main.go <<-END package main import ( "log" "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8" ) func main() { es, _ := elasticsearch.NewDefaultClient() log.Println(elasticsearch.Version) log.Println(es.Info()) } END go run main.go
Elasticsearch Version Compatibility
editLanguage 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.
