Elasticsearch Version Support#
Minimum supported version#
Rally 2.8.0.dev0 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.
