Still, our SPI being guaranteed only for a minor, that gives a lot of flexibility? The Elasticsearch client exposing this itself, I don't expect them to switch implementation in a micro release to make some bugfix. If they change it in a major or even minor version, we're ok to not support that version until our next minor. N.B. The client factory already is a Service so any advanced user already can override it. We want to make it easier for cloud users. Focusing on AWS now as we've had user requests for this - not least our own CI - but I'd expect other clouds to have similar features (today or tomorrow). I just don't expect other use cases to need this so we might provide them all eventually, but at this point my goal is to leave an appealing SPI for contributors to join on that. With that I mean: 1# this might evolve but we need something simple to use for people to not get stuck. 2# I expect integrator implementors to contribute them back 3# People won't have this low level dependency in their projects for long Having them re-implement the client wouldn't encourage this ;) Thanks!
