Hey @MikeThomsen when we discussed the renaming on the mailing list, I was
under the impression that the Elasticsearch Client Service was new for 1.7.0.
But it appears that it already has been released in 1.6.0. We need to avoid
changing the names of components once they have been released because doing so
would break users' flows. I think we need to keep the name
nifi-elasticsearch-client-service and then we can use the name
nifi-elasticsearch-client-service-6, etc. for the new one. Then we'd just
document the old one to indicate that it was designed to work against
Elasticsearch 5.x. Sorry for the confusion! We do need to ensure that we keep
existing flows stable, though, and we only want to break a flow if there's no
feasible way around it.
