FEATURE: Elasticsearch 8.x & API-KEY authentication support

[zzzepezzz]

Hi,

Are you planning to integrate API key authentication into the ElasticSearch stack?

I'm currently testing the solution and would like to connect Aleph to our ELK instance, which is version 8 and only supports authentication via API keys.

I'm currently modifying the code to integrate the changes for our instance, but I'm thinking that some people also have this need.

Currently your ELK stack is in version 7.16.1, have you planned to upgrade to version 8 ? There are several breaking change in elasticsearch python library.

We are planning to upgrade to ES 8, and authentication support is something we will definitely want at that point.

This upgrade isn't planned for the short-to-medium term, though. One of the main reasons is because of the fact that the transfer of data or rebuilding the index would take a whole lot of time.
