Does the new version support ES Client 9.0.0?

As in I see the latest curator version where the es_Client is still 8.17

Latest Curator does not support ES 9.

[untergeek]

Have you tried it with the --skip_version_test flag? It might work with that.

[boutetnico]

@untergeek the workaround, --skip_version_test works, thanks!
Note: a warning issued WARNING Skipping Elasticsearch version check.

[Ziyaulla]

@untergeek it works, thank you!

[schoekek]

and when is native support for elasticsearch9 planned?

[quarky42]

Yes, please: Is there a very rough estimated timeframe for Curator 9.x to support ES 9.x?
