Support for Cluster update settings API

[kamolhasan]

We've been working on a project where we need to perform the following query to disable shard allocation using the client.

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "primaries"
  }
}

From your README.md, it seems like you haven't provided support for this endpoint yet.

Is there any way to perform this using the existing client library?
Or anything else.

Which version of Elastic are you using?

• elastic.v7

Is there any update on this it's been 4 years and still not implemented?

@apgmckay This project has been deprecated for many years now. It's still around because some people still rely on it. But with the decision of Elastic to build their own official Go client, it doesn't make sense to "compete" against it with an unofficial, community-supported client. The speed with which they add features is way too high for that, and the ability to plan ahead is not a given. This project won't get new features or support new versions of Elasticsearch. You should update your code to use the official client. They, e.g., already support the cluster settings API.

Thanks for the reply @olivere totally makes sense.

The only reason I was asking was because this was package is a dependency of this open search terraform provider has a dependency on this un API.

But yeah... I'll try and see if I can get them/or even just do it myself to change to the official Go client for elastic 🤔

Thanks again.

@apgmckay Thanks for the clarification. Just a final note: As a workaround, you (or, better, the Terraform provider) can always use PerformRequest directly to implement calls into Elasticsearch that are not supported by the DSL.

Interesting thanks for the share @olivere I'll give that a look.
