jackylau commented on FLINK-16713: ---------------------------------- Hi [~rmetzger], when i coding the es source connector here [https://github.com/liuyongvs/flink/commit/c397a759d05956629a27bf850458dd4e70330189] ,and i find problem of SearchHits at currentScrollWindowHits = searchResponse.getHits().getHits() And the SearchHits is interface in es5 but it is a class in es 6,7 and if i use it in flink es connector base(the es dependency is 5). it will throw this. Caused by: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found class org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHits, but interface was expected. To fix it : we can do this ways 1) move the logic to ApiCallBridge such as define ElasticsearchResponse, but it wll make the code weirdly class ElasticsearchResponse { Scroll scroll; String[] result // convert ervery es connector searchResponse.getHits().getHits() to result } 2) just support es 6,7 and upgrade flink-es-connector-base es dependency version to 6 and drop flink-es-connector-5. And i found this discussion of dropping es connector 2 and 5 here [http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/DISCUSS-Drop-connectors-for-Elasticsearch-2-x-and-5-x-td32662.html .|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/DISCUSS-Drop-connectors-for-Elasticsearch-2-x-and-5-x-td32662.html] Is it possible to drop es5 connector and es5 connector just support DataStream api currently > Support source mode of elasticsearch connector > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-16713 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16713 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Connectors / ElasticSearch > Affects Versions: 1.10.0 > Reporter: jackray wang > Priority: Major > > [https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.10/dev/table/connect.html#elasticsearch-connector] > For append-only queries, the connector can also operate in [append > mode|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.10/dev/table/connect.html#update-modes] > for exchanging only INSERT messages with the external system.
