Elasticsearch Version Support#

Minimum supported version#

Rally 2.7.1 can benchmark Elasticsearch 6.8.0 and above. However, Rally does not support Elasticsearch clusters using the OSS license.

End-of-life Policy#

The latest version of Rally allows to benchmark all currently supported versions of Elasticsearch. Once an Elasticsearch version reaches end-of-life, Rally will support benchmarking its last minor version until a new major version comes out. For example, after the release of Elasticsearch 8.0.0, Rally dropped support for Elasticsearch < 6.8.0.

Metrics store#

Rally only supports Elasticsearch 7.x and above when using Elasticsearch as a metrics store.
