I think this 8.0-8.17 "Yes" is also wrong. We only support back to 7.17 from 8.0, but not 8.1, following the "previous minor" rule. This is shown correctly on this page: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.18/modules-cross-cluster-search.html#ccs-supported-configurations

Thanks for the review!

You’re right that based on the “previous minor” rule, only 8.0 from the 8.0–8.17 range supports querying 7.17. The table here (compared to the other one) uses a simplified format, where support is marked if any version in the range supports a pairing.

That said, I see how this could be misleading. I’m happy to adjust the structure—for example, breaking out 8.0 into its own row.

I’ve made the changes we discussed:
• 8.0 now has its own row
• 8.17 is split into a separate column for clarity

Here’s the updated version. Let me know what you think! Screenshot 2025-05-05 at 16 44 28

I see this has already merged, but isn't the intersection of 8.1-8.17 and 8.0-8.16 still incorrect? It indicates a local 8.17 can CCS against a remote 8.0.

Don't we need to list every minor version in the headers as we did in 8.x docs for complete accuracy?

shouldn't this page be analogous to the 8.0 version?

You mean how it basically shows how any 7.x can CCS any remote 7.x?

I'm not so sure it should because in 8.x we became more restrictive and introduced these rules.

  • The previous minor version.
  • The same version.
  • A newer minor version in the same major version.

The 7.x docs do not have these same restrictions documented. Example: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.16/modules-cross-cluster-search.html#ccs-supported-configurations

But I'm not a source of truth on the topic. I just know that the table does not align with the stated rules.

In the interest of keeping the table condensed maybe we could simply add an asterisk and footnote to the 8.1-8.17 / 8.0-8.16 intersection to explain/reiterate the "previous minor" nuance.

Otherwise...

I think this monster of a table would be technically correct
