title: Migrating to Elasticsearch 8.x from ES 7.17.5
body: <p>We are using Elasticsearch 7.17.5 which is used by a Java 8 application. We are planning to upgrade to Elasticsearch 8.x.</p>
  <p>Since High-level Rest Client is now deprecated I am unable to resolve dependencies in order to use the HLRC existing code with Elasticsearch Version 8.x.( <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/java-rest-high-compatibility.html#:%7E:text=The%20High%20Level%20Client%20version,communicate%20with%20Elasticsearch%20version%208." rel="nofollow noreferrer">High Level Client compatibilty with ES 8</a> )</p>
  <p>Which version of elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client should we use?</p>
  <p>Also do we need to migrate our java application to java 17?</p>
