Updating elasticsearch package version

[kurisukun]

Hello!

I wanted to open a discussion regarding the current dependency on elasticsearch==7.10.1. While it still works today, even with ES 9, it is quite outdated and technically unsupported by Elastic. In addition to functionality concerns, this version of the client brings in a number of outdated transitive dependencies such as: urllib, numpy (that conflicts with several modern Python projects), requests, etc ...

Would it be possible to consider upgrading to at least elasticsearch 8.x in a very near future (while knowing the refactoring this would imply) ?

Thanks in advance for your response

This comment (and thread) contains all information related to why this package is stuck at 7.10: #92 (comment)

If you would like to invest the time and effort into researching how things may have changed since that prior research was completed, please do and let us know what you find.

The reason for fixing it to elasticsearch==7.10.1 must have been related to support for opensearch.
To use elasticsearch-py 8 or later, you need to use elasticsearch-py 8 or later when connecting to elasticsearch. You need to use opensearch-py when connecting to opensearch.
