+= Spring Data for Elasticsearch image:https://img.shields.io/badge/Revved%20up%20by-Develocity-06A0CE?logo=Gradle&labelColor=02303A["Revved up by Develocity", link="https://ge.spring.io/scans?search.rootProjectNames=Spring Data Elasticsearch"]
+
+The primary goal of the https://projects.spring.io/spring-data[Spring Data] project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services.
+
+The Spring Data Elasticsearch project provides integration with the https://www.elastic.co/[Elasticsearch] search engine.
+Key functional areas of Spring Data Elasticsearch are a POJO centric model for interacting with Elasticsearch Documents and easily writing a Repository style data access layer.
+
+This project is lead and maintained by the community.
+
+== Features
+
+* Spring configuration support using Java based `@Configuration` classes or an XML namespace for an ES client instances.
+* `ElasticsearchOperations` class and implementations that increases productivity performing common ES operations.
+Includes integrated object mapping between documents and POJOs.
+* Feature Rich Object Mapping integrated with Spring’s Conversion Service
+* Annotation based mapping metadata
+* Automatic implementation of `Repository` interfaces including support for custom search methods.
+* CDI support for repositories
+
+include::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-projects/spring-data-build/refs/heads/main/etc/readme/code-of-conduct.adoc[]
+
+== Getting Started
+
+Here is a quick teaser of an application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:
+
+[source,java]
+----
+public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {
+
+  List<Person> findByLastname(String lastname);
+
+  List<Person> findByFirstnameLike(String firstname);
+}
+
+@Service
+public class MyService {
+
+  private final PersonRepository repository;
+
+  public MyService(PersonRepository repository) {
+    this.repository = repository;
+  }
+
+  public void doWork() {
+
+    repository.deleteAll();
+
+    Person person = new Person();
+    person.setFirstname("Oliver");
+    person.setLastname("Gierke");
+    repository.save(person);
+
+    List<Person> lastNameResults = repository.findByLastname("Gierke");
+    List<Person> firstNameResults = repository.findByFirstnameLike("Oli");
+ }
+}
+----
+
+=== Using the RestClient
+
+Please check the https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/elasticsearch/docs/current/reference/html/#elasticsearch.clients.configuration[official documentation].
+
+include::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-projects/spring-data-build/refs/heads/main/etc/readme/dependencies.adoc[]
+
+**Compatibility Matrix**
+
+The compatibility between Spring Data Elasticsearch, Elasticsearch client drivers and Spring Boot versions can be found in the https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/elasticsearch/docs/current/reference/html/#preface.versions[reference documentation].
+
+To use the Release candidate versions of the upcoming major version, use our Maven milestone repository and declare the appropriate dependency version:
+
+[source,xml]
+----
+<dependency>
+  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
+  <artifactId>spring-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
+  <version>${version}.RCx</version> <!-- x being 1, 2, ... -->

 == Running CI tasks locally

-Since this pipeline is purely Docker-based, it's easy to:
-
-* Debug what went wrong on your local machine.
-* Test out a a tweak to your `verify.sh` script before sending it out.
-* Experiment against a new image before submitting your pull request.
-
-All of these use cases are great reasons to essentially run what the CI server does on your local machine.
-
-IMPORTANT: To do this you must have Docker installed on your machine.
-
-1. `docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-data-elasticsearch-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/bash`
-+
-This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at `spring-data-elasticsearch-github`.
-+
-2. `cd spring-data-elasticsearch-github`
-+
-Next, run your tests from inside the container:
-+
-3. `./mvnw clean dependency:list test -Dsort` (or whatever profile you need to test out)
-
-Since the container is binding to your source, you can make edits from your IDE and continue to run build jobs.
-
-If you need to package things up, do this:
-
-1. `docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-data-elasticsearch-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/bash`
-+
-This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at `spring-data-elasticsearch-github`.
-+
-2. `cd spring-data-elasticsearch-github`
-+
-Next, try to package everything up from inside the container:
-+
-3. `./mvnw -Pci,snapshot -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package`
-
-NOTE: Docker containers can eat up disk space fast! From time to time, run `docker system prune` to clean out old images.
+You can run CI jobs locally using Docker and act[https://nektosact.com/].

 Although the Elasticsearch Client can be used directly to work with the cluster, applications using Spring Data Elasticsearch normally use the higher level abstractions of xref:elasticsearch/template.adoc[Elasticsearch Operations] and xref:elasticsearch/repositories/elasticsearch-repositories.adoc[Elasticsearch Repositories].

When using one of these, like the term query above, the Elasticsearch field names must be used, so take care, when these are redefined with the `@Field(name="...")` definition.

+
+[[elasticsearch-migration-guide-5.5-6.0.breaking-changes]]
+== Breaking Changes
+
+From version 6.0 on, Spring Data Elasticsearch uses the Elasticsearch 9 libraries and as default the new `Rest5Client` provided by these libraries. It is still possible to use the old `RestClient`, check xref:elasticsearch/clients.adoc[Elasticsearch clients] for information. The configuration callbacks for this `RestClient` have been moved from `org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.client.elc.ElasticsearchClients` to the `org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.client.elc.rest_client.RestClients` class.
+
+In the `org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.query.UpdateQuery` class the type of the two fields `ifSeqNo` and `ifPrimaryTerm` has changed from `Integer` to `Long` to align with the normal query and the underlying Elasticsearch client.
+
+[[elasticsearch-migration-guide-5.5-6.0.deprecations]]
+== Deprecations
+
+All the code using the old `RestClient` has been moved to the `org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.client.elc.rest_client` package and has been deprecated. Users should switch to the classes from the `org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.client.elc.rest5_client` package.
+
+
+=== Removals
+
+The `org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.query.ScriptType` enum has been removed. To distinguish between an inline and a stored script set the appropriate values in the `org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.query.ScriptData` record.
+
