Hi, I am trying to export to elasticsearch but I get an error. I don’t if is for the version of ES or some configuration.

For example now I tried directly with spark and it works… with the jar elasticsearch-hadoop-7.9.3.jar. So my question is, which jar are you using to connect to ES? ---

Some help with this issue?. Could please tell me the elasticsearch-hadoop version that uses Hail 0.2?. Now I have to convert to spark with to\_spark but this method is really very very slow. ---

Hail uses elasticsearch-spark-20\_2.11:6.2.4 ([https://github.com/hail-is/hail/search?q=elasticsearch+spark](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/search?q=elasticsearch+spark)). That version of ES-hadoop only supports up to Elasticsearch 6.8 ([https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix\_compatibility](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility)). More info on support for Spark/Scala versions at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/master/install.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/master/install.html). ---

Ok, thank you
