= Getting support for Spring Data Elasticsearch Spring Data Elasticsearch is a community-maintained Spring Data project. It is released as part of the Spring Data Release train. == GitHub issues We choose not to use GitHub issues for general usage questions and support, preferring to use issues solely for the tracking of bugs and enhancements. If you have a general usage question, please do not open a GitHub issue but use one of the other channels https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-elasticsearch#getting-help[described in the readme file]. If you are reporting a bug, please help to speed up problem diagnosis by providing as much information as possible. Ideally, that would include a small sample project that reproduces the problem.
