If no version is specified, run `gh release list --repo elastic/elasticsearch --limit 60` and pick the closest available version to the current one (i.e., the next patch or minor release — minimize the version jump).

If no version is specified, run `gh release list --repo elastic/elasticsearch --limit 60` and pick the closest available version to the current one (i.e., the next patch or minor release — minimize the version jump). Follow these steps in order, fixing any issues before moving to the next step: 1. **Bump versions** in all six places: - `ElasticsearchVersion` in `build.sbt` - Image tag in `docker/Dockerfile` - Image tag and release download URL in `docs/pages/installation.md` - `version` file (format: `X.Y.Z.0`) - `elasticsearch` pin in `client-python/requirements.txt` — upgrade to the latest available version whose minor version does not exceed the new ES minor version. The Python client does **not** publish patch releases (e.g. there is no `8.18.6`), so check available versions first: `pip index versions elasticsearch` or check PyPI. - `Elastic4sVersion` in `build.sbt` — upgrade to the latest available `nl.gn0s1s:elastic4s-client-esjava` version whose minor version does not exceed the new ES minor version. Check available versions on Maven Central: `curl -s "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/nl/gn0s1s/elastic4s-client-esjava_3/maven-metadata.xml" | grep ''` 2. **Check if LuceneVersion needs updating.** ES ships with a bundled Lucene. If it changed, the old pinned version will show as "evicted" in the dependency tree: ``` sbt -client "elastiknn-plugin/dependencyTree" | grep lucene ``` If evicted, bump `LuceneVersion` in `build.sbt` to match. 3. **Verify compilation:** `task jvmCompile`. This compiles all modules including integration test sources (`compile; Test/compile`). Fix any issues before proceeding. 4. **Verify unit tests:** `task jvmUnitTest`. Fix any failures before proceeding. Once all steps pass, open a PR with the title `Dependencies: upgrade Elasticsearch to ` (e.g. `Dependencies: upgrade Elasticsearch to 8.18.5`). 5. **Monitor CI and fix failures.** After the PR is open, poll GitHub Actions until CI completes or a job fails: ```bash # Get the latest run ID for the PR branch gh run list --branch --limit 5 # Watch a specific run (blocks until done, then prints summary) gh run watch # If a job failed, get the logs gh run view --log-failed ``` For each failed job: - Read the failure output carefully to identify the root cause. - Fix the issue locally (edit code, push a new commit). - Wait for a new CI run to start on that push, then repeat the watch/log loop. - Continue until all jobs pass (green). Do not close or abandon the PR — iterate until CI is green. --- > Source: [alexklibisz/elastiknn](https://github.com/alexklibisz/elastiknn) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
