06/01/2023, 11:24 AMHi, are there any plans to support Elastic 8. There is an open feature request from a year, but no futher response. We can offer to help with a contribution, but only if the core team agrees on it. Upgrading would probably result it a breaking change.
Thanks for any response!

Hey @orange-crayon-34273 thanks for bringing this up. Elastic 8 would require some surgery on the code base because it is a breaking change (as well as a license change)

It would make DataHub non-compatible with AWS Opensearch e.g.

so this would first require factoring out the current elasticsearch dependencies into as much of a isolatable component as possible so that you could inject an elastic-8 plugin without having to make datahub depend on elastic-8

This (factoring out the elastic deps) isn't something on our radar currently, but if you would like to create a design proposal around it, we would be more than happy to review it.
