Folks,
A follow-up to Steve's earlier email.
Elasticsearch recommends that the version's major numbers match between
Elasticsearch and the Elasticsearch python client [1]. To accomodate this, we
have submitted a requirement patch to update the Elasticsearch client to 2.3.X.
If this is a concern, please comment on the patch:

> I'm looking into supporting and testing Elasticsearch 2.x in Searchlight's
> test jobs. Currently I don't know of any other projects that run tests
> against Elasticsearch in the gate (since we had to add it to Jenkins [1]).
> Several projects install the python elasticsearch client in requirements.txt,
> and it is currently capped to <2.0 in global-requirements [2], and others
> consume it directly through HTTP requests. Searchlight needs to move to
> support Elasticsearch 2.x in Newton but we are aware that doing so will
> affect other projects.

> be changed to 1.7 in any case) and we obviously cannot change that until all
> projects support 2.x.

>
> * Have you tested with ES 2.x at all?
> * Do you have plans to move to ES 2.x?
>
> Our likely fallback is testing with the 1.x client until we can move devstack
> and global-requirements to 2.x; if we discover issues in the meantime we will
> include a deployer note that the python library needs to be updated if
> Elasticsearch 2.x is in use.
