Elasticsearch Version Support¶
Minimum supported version¶
Rally 2.3.0 can benchmark Elasticsearch 6.0.0 and above.
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 the corresponding version for two more years. For example, Elasticsearch 1.7.x has been supported until 2017-01-16. Rally drops support for Elasticsearch 1.7.x two years after that date on 2019-01-16. Version support is dropped in the next Rally maintenance release after that date.
Metrics store¶
Rally only supports Elasticsearch 7.x and above when using Elasticsearch as a metrics store.
