the elastic java client 8.7.0 requires java 17 instead of java 8

[inrix-angel]

Java API client version

8.7.0

Java version

8

Elasticsearch Version

OpenSearch 2.5.0

Problem description

When upgrading to the 8.7.0 version of the Elastic java client, I'm seeing errors such as this one:

[ERROR] bad class file: /Users/todorov/.m2/repository/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/8.7.0/elasticsearch-8.7.0.jar(org/elasticsearch/index/query/BoolQueryBuilder.class) [ERROR] class file has wrong version 61.0, should be 52.0

I'm using Java 8 and in the Elastic docs, it is clearly stated that:

Requirements:

Java 8 or later.

Thanks.

running into the same with other earlier 8.x api versions.

Is there any priority on this issue since the documentation does say this is compatible with java 1.8.

I use 8.13.0 with JDK 1.8 - so looks like issue was resolved for newer versions
