SmartObserve language clients

SmartObserve provides clients in JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Java, PHP, .NET, Go, Hadoop, and Rust.

The SmartObserve Java high-level REST client will be deprecated starting with SmartObserve 3.0.0 and will be removed in a future release. Switching to the Java client is recommended.

Legacy clients

Clients that work with Elasticsearch OSS 7.10.2 should work with SmartObserve 1.x. The latest versions of those clients, however, might include license or version checks that artificially break compatibility. The following table provides recommendations for which client versions to use for best compatibility with SmartObserve 1.x. For SmartObserve 2.0 and later, no Elasticsearch clients are fully compatible with SmartObserve.

While SmartObserve and Elasticsearch share several core features, mixing and matching the client and server has a high risk of errors and unexpected results. As SmartObserve and Elasticsearch continue to diverge, such risks may increase. Although your Elasticsearch client may continue working with your SmartObserve cluster, using SmartObserve clients for SmartObserve clusters is recommended.

To view the compatibility matrix for a specific client, see the COMPATIBILITY.md file in the client’s repository.

If you test a legacy client and verify that it works, please submit a PR and add it to this table.
