[Koha] when will koha master work with elastic search 5.X

[Nick Clemens]

Hi Dave,

Echoing what Tomas said you should find things working on master. If you
are having issues please report them here, or better yet, file a bug in the
community so that we can investigate and/or fix the issue.

It is important to make sure your mappings are updated to the latest
version as well to ensure things will work.

Sorting will break on indexes where sorting is not defined, but should work
for common categories.

Can you share some of the warnings you are seeing as well as some info
about your environment? i.e. type of Koha install (assuming dev instal)
MARC21/UNIMARC, OS, Catmandu/ES dependency versions?

-Nick
