Hi SkyWalking team With receiving Jiapeng's optimization PR[1] about ElasticSearch storage, technically, this is a very good enhancement to reduce the payload of the ES server. But also, as I mentioned here[2], the index policy changed. I want to ask the whole community, whether we should change the version to 9.0 after this PR merges. Personally, I can't see much change in SkyWalking's design, streaming core, and most other features. This may be a break enhancement, but it is not a very big issue, as the agent->server protocol keeps unchanged. My idea is to +1 for keeping in 8.5.0. All committers and PMC members, welcome to vote in this format,
> +/- 1 (binding if PMC) to version number Such as, mine is +1 (binding) to 8.5.0 [1] https://github.com/apache/skywalking/pull/6499 [2] https://github.com/apache/skywalking/issues/6411 Sheng Wu 吴晟 Twitter, wusheng1108
