Comments
As a data point, here's what ChatGPT says: Q: what do I need to know to upgrade Elasticsearch from 7.17 to 8.0 ChatGPT: Check the compatibility matrix: Before upgrading Elasticsearch, it's important to check the compatibility matrix to ensure that all the components of your Elasticsearch stack, including plugins and clients, are compatible with version 8.0. You should also check the upgrade path from your current version to 8.0 to ensure that there are no intermediate upgrades required. Review the breaking changes: Elasticsearch 8.0 comes with a number of breaking changes that may impact your application. Review the breaking changes documentation to understand what changes you need to make to your application, mappings, queries, and other components. Test the upgrade in a non-production environment: Before upgrading Elasticsearch in production, it's important to test the upgrade in a non-production environment. This will help you identify any issues or incompatibilities that may arise during the upgrade process. Plan for downtime: Upgrading Elasticsearch requires some downtime. Plan for the downtime and communicate the upgrade plan to your team and users. Backup your data: It's important to back up your data before upgrading Elasticsearch. This will ensure that you have a copy of your data in case anything goes wrong during the upgrade process. Follow the upgrade guide: Elasticsearch provides an upgrade guide that outlines the steps to upgrade from version 7.17 to 8.0. Follow the guide carefully to ensure a successful upgrade. Monitor the upgrade process: During the upgrade process, monitor Elasticsearch logs, metrics, and health checks to ensure that everything is running smoothly. By following these steps, you can upgrade Elasticsearch from version 7.17 to 8.0 with minimal disruption to your application. |
