Hello IPS users and fellows,

is there anyone running or using ES 7 services successfully with IPB 4.4.x (latest)?

If someone knows when IPB is going to support ES 7 I would be thankful, too. We have a new box which supports ES 7 natively and don't really want to downgrade the stack manually...

Thanks,
Thomas

 

Elastic Search 7 isn't supported at this time, you will need to use version 5 or 6.

We will be adding support for v7, but I cannot confirm exactly when that will be yet.

Hi Stuart,

ok, thanks for the details,

 

Is Elastic Search worth it over MySQL for IPB? Can someone please share more info? Ex - what you can do more with it?  Thank you

Elasticsearch will provide vastly superior search results, however it is a remote service so your community will need to make HTTP requests to it in order to index the content, and to fetch the search results. That said, the searching is faster than MySQL particularly for larger data sets.

Generally speaking, if you get to a million or two posts, you should probably switch over to ElasticSearch. Before that point, you would really just need to try it out and see if you prefer it or not. If you have a really fast server and a relatively smaller site, you may find that local MySQL searches are sufficient, and perform faster, than a remote service.

@bfarber @Stuart Silvester Any update on ES7 support?

It is coming in a future release, most likely 4.5.0. You will need to continue using ES6 until then.

Try and fix the duplicate topics issue then in unread content (I did submit a ticket but didn't get anywhere with it and had to turn it off, the issue was just affecting large topics)

I've had a look at the ticket, we do have some further Elastic search changes in 4.4.7. I would recommend upgrading when it's available and then rebuilding your search index. If the problem persists, let us know via a new ticket.

Just wanted to follow up on this since I recent have been doing some ES related work, will ES 7.x support still be coming to 4.5?

Yes

 

Yes

👍

Thanks Daniel.

 

Yes

Nice!

Is it possible to use elastic search 2.3 (this is the only version available on AWS for t2.micro instance)?

2.3 is not supported.

/**
	 * @brief	Elasticsearch version requirements
	 */
	const MINIMUM_VERSION = '5.6.0';
	const UNSUPPORTED_VERSION = '7.0.0';

 

 

2.3 is not supported.

Thanks. I will keep the 6 and wait for 4.5. to update to 7.

hi,

Is 4.5.2 supporting ES 7?

 

hi,

Is 4.5.2 supporting ES 7?

Yes. It is supported, yet only to version 7.6.2. Don't go any higher version more than 7.6.2.

Very nice!

BUMP 🙂 

Any update on this since October 2019, nearly a full year later and no update. When I tried with 4.5.x it said that it doesn't support 7.7.0 or higher

Would be great to have the latest version supported, as installing older versions of Elastic search could be a security risk. 

7.9.3. is available 🙂 

Please

This. Don't do it. Use 6 until they fix the problem.
