elastic/curator v8.0.0

8.0.0 (31 January 2023)

on GitHub

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.
