Hi both,
The AtoM Maintainers keep a simple roadmap of upcoming development on the GitHub wiki, here:
Deepak has pointed out that AtoM 2.9 does not support ES 7.11 - 8.15 due to license incompatibilities. However, the good news is that after reviewing a lot of community feedback, The Elastic project made additional changes in 2024 and are now offering an A-GPLv3 license option with ES 8.16 and higher, which IS compatible with AtoM's license. For more details on ES license changes, see:
As you can see on the AtoM roadmap, the Maintainers are currently aiming to include an upgrade to Elasticsearch 8.16 or higher in the AtoM 2.11 release.
So: in summary:
- No, AtoM 2.9 does not support ES 8.x
- It would require a HUGE amount of local development to implement support for ES 8.x in AtoM 2.9 yourself - we don't really recommend it!
- The AtoM Maintainers are intending to upgrade AtoM's ES version to 8.16 or higher in the next major release, version 2.11
- There is not currently any firm timeline on the 2.11 release - the team has just released v2.10, and are currently reviewing bug reports and community pull requests to prepare a 2.10.1 release, as noted on the Roadmap.
Cheers,
