The elasticsearch sink compression option now defaults to none
Compression is not supported by all Elasticsearch service providers
To optimize throughput we originally defaulted the elasticsearch sink
compression option to gzip. It is our philosophy that Vector’s defaults
should optimize performance and throughput, but not at the expense of causing
errors. Unfortunately, AWS-hosted Elasticsearch does not support compression,
and therefore we’ve made this feature opt-in.
Upgrade Guide
Upgrading is easy. Add the following if you want to enabled Gzip compression:
[sinks.es]
type = "elasticsearch"
+ compression = "gzip"
