Just a follow-up update.
JanusGraph 1.0.0 (not RC1) will support ElasticSearch 8. That said, most likely it will contain ElasticSearch 7 distribution due to Java conflicts. You will need to install ElasticSearch 8 yourself (which is a recommended way) and use JanusGraph 1.0.0 to connect to ElasticSearch 6, 7, or 8.
The merged PR containing support for ElasticSearch 8 is here: https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/pull/3268

Support of elasticsearch-8.x is still work in progress, see: https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/discussions/3467

Hello All,

Is there a prebuild package containing Elastic Search 8?  It seems like the latest JanusGraph 1.0.0 RC1 still contains Elasticsearch 7.17.5, which has 'License-Banned" policy violations from Nexus scan tool.
