=== Compatibility matrix
Language clients are forward compatible; meaning that clients support communicating with greater or equal minor versions of Elasticsearch.
Elasticsearch language clients are only backwards compatible with default distributions and without guarantees made.
Language clients are forward compatible; meaning that clients support
communicating with greater or equal minor versions of {es} without breaking. It
does not mean that the client automatically supports new features of newer {es}
versions; it is only possible after a release of a new client version. For
example, a 8.12 client version won't automatically support the new features of
the 8.13 version of {es}, the 8.13 client version is required for that.
{es} language clients are only backwards compatible with default distributions
and without guarantees made.
