=== Advanced configuration
If you need to customize the client behavior heavily, you are in the right
place! The client enables you to customize the following internals:
* `ConnectionPool` class
* `Connection` class
* `Serializer` class
NOTE: For information about the `Transport` class, refer to <<transport>>.
[discrete]
==== `ConnectionPool`
This class is responsible for keeping in memory all the {es} Connection that you
are using. There is a single Connection for every node. The connection pool
handles the resurrection strategies and the updates of the pool.
[source,js]
----
const { Client, ConnectionPool } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
class MyConnectionPool extends ConnectionPool {
markAlive (connection) {
// your code
super.markAlive(connection)
}
}
const client = new Client({
ConnectionPool: MyConnectionPool,
cloud: { id: '<cloud-id>' },
auth: { apiKey: 'base64EncodedKey' }
})
----
[discrete]
==== `Connection`
This class represents a single node, it holds every information we have on the
node, such as roles, id, URL, custom headers and so on. The actual HTTP request
is performed here, this means that if you want to swap the default HTTP client
(Node.js core), you should override the `request` method of this class.
[source,js]
----
const { Client, BaseConnection } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
class MyConnection extends BaseConnection {
request (params, callback) {
// your code
}
}
const client = new Client({
Connection: MyConnection,
cloud: { id: '<cloud-id>' },
auth: { apiKey: 'base64EncodedKey' }
})
----
[discrete]
==== `Serializer`
This class is responsible for the serialization of every request, it offers the
following methods:
* `serialize(object: any): string;` serializes request objects.
* `deserialize(json: string): any;` deserializes response strings.
* `ndserialize(array: any[]): string;` serializes bulk request objects.
* `qserialize(object: any): string;` serializes request query parameters.
[source,js]
----
const { Client, Serializer } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
class MySerializer extends Serializer {
serialize (object) {
// your code
}
}
const client = new Client({
Serializer: MySerializer,
cloud: { id: '<cloud-id>' },
auth: { apiKey: 'base64EncodedKey' }
})
----

==== Migrate to v8
The Node.js client can be configured to emit an HTTP header
`Accept: application/vnd.elasticsearch+json; compatible-with=7`
which signals to Elasticsearch that the client is requesting
`7.x` version of request and response bodies. This allows for
upgrading from 7.x to 8.x version of Elasticsearch without upgrading
everything at once. Elasticsearch should be upgraded first after
the compatibility header is configured and clients should be upgraded
second.
To enable to setting, configure the environment variable
`ELASTIC_CLIENT_APIVERSIONING` to `true`.
