Which version of elasticsearch will be required with the upcoming MediaWiki 1.35?


Latest Elasticsearch release is 7.8.1, but the CirrusSearch README still says "6.5.4 or higher". Does the "higher" also include 7.8.x, or should I stay with 6.5.x?

Elastic 7.x is not yet supported, WMF is running 6.5.4 but I believe newer versions in the 6.x branch might work as well. If you plan to use WMF elasticsearch plugins then I'd suggest to use 6.5.4.

ElasticSearch server version 6.8 seems to work fine with MediaWiki 1.35. But the ElasticSearch PHP client version 6.8 causes issues. The CirrusSearch maintenance scripts call certain classes that were removed in the 6.8 branch of the ElasticSearch PHP client. The 6.7 branch seems OK.
