Announcement

This release is a major refactoring of the Curator code to work with both Elasticsearch
8.x and the Elasticsearch-py Python module of the same major and minor versions.

I apologize for the crazy merge messes trying to get this all to work. In the end, I had to delete
my fork on github and start over clean.

Breaking Changes

  • Curator is now version locked. Curator v8.x will only work with Elasticsearch v8.x
  • Your old Curator config.yml file will no longer work as written. There have been more than
    a few changes necessitated by the updates in the elasticsearch8 Python client library.
    The client connection code has also been extracted to its own module, es_client. This is
    actually a good thing, however, as new options for configuring the client connection become
    possible.
  • Going forward, Curator will only be released as a tarball via GitHub, as an sdist or
    wheel via pip on PyPI, and to Docker Hub. There will no longer be RPM, DEB, or Windows
    ZIP releases. I am sorry if this is inconvenient, but one of the reasons the development and
    release cycle was delayed so long is because of how painfully difficult it was to do releases.
  • Curator will only work with Python 3.8+, and will more tightly follow the Python version releases.

Changes

  • Last minute doc fixes. Mostly updated links to Elasticsearch documentation.
  • Python 3.11.1 is fully supported, and all versions of Python 3.8+ should be fully supported.
  • Use hatch and hatchling for package building & publishing
  • Because of hatch and pyproject.toml, the release version still only needs to be tracked
    in curator/_version.py.
  • Maintain the barest setup.py for building a binary version of Curator for Docker using
    cx_Freeze.
  • Remove setup.cfg, requirements.txt, MANIFEST.in, and other files as functionality
    is now handled by pyproject.toml and doing pip install . to grab dependencies and
    install them. YAY! Only one place to track dependencies now!!!
  • Preliminarily updated the docs.
  • Migrate towards pytest and away from nose tests.
  • Revamped almost every integration test
  • Scripts provided now that aid in producing and destroying Docker containers for testing. See
    docker_test/scripts/create.sh. To spin up a numbered version release of Elasticsearch, run
    docker_test/scripts/create.sh 8.6.1. It will download any necessary images, launch them,
    and tell you when it's ready, as well as provide REMOTE_ES_SERVER environment variables for
    testing the reindex action, e.g.
    REMOTE_ES_SERVER="http://172.16.0.1:9201" pytest --cov=curator. These tests are skipped
    if this value is not provided. To clean up afterwards, run docker_test/scripts/destroy.sh
  • The action classes were broken into their own path, curator/actions/filename.py.
  • curator_cli has been updated with more client connection settings, like cloud_id.
  • As Curator 8 is version locked and will not use AWS credentials to connect to any ES 8.x
    instance, all AWS ES connection settings and references have been removed.
