Breaking changes from 7.x

edit

This major release is a complete new PHP client for Elasticsearch. We build it from scratch! We tried to reduce the BC breaks as much as possible but there are some (big) differences:

Architectural changes

edit
  • we changed the namespace, now everything is under Elastic\Elasticsearch
  • we used the elastic-transport-php library for HTTP communications;
  • we changed the Exception model, using the namespace Elastic\Elasticsearch\Exception. All the exceptions extends the ElasticsearchException interface, as in 7.x
  • we changed the response type of each endpoint using an Elasticsearch response class. This class wraps a PSR-7 response allowing the access of the body response as array or object. This means you can access the API response as in 7.x, no BC break here! :angel:
  • we changed the ConnectionPool in NodePool. The connection naming was ambigous since the objects are nodes (hosts)
