Known issues
edit-
Do not upgrade production clusters to Elasticsearch 8.0.0-rc1. Elasticsearch 8.0.0-rc1 is a pre-release of Elasticsearch 8.0 and is intended for testing purposes only.
Upgrades from pre-release builds are not supported and could result in errors or data loss. If you upgrade from a released version, such as 7.16, to a pre-release version for testing, discard the contents of the cluster when you are done. Do not attempt to upgrade to the final 8.0 release.
- For Elasticsearch 8.0.0-rc1, the Elasticsearch SQL JDBC driver requires Java 17 or newer. In Elasticsearch 8.0.0-rc2, the JDBC driver will only require Java 8 or newer. https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/82325
