Hi  
I have used Elastic search 2.3.3 and Spring-Data-ElasticSearch ( 2.0.0.RELEASE )

It was working fine but there was no authentication available.

I would like to evaluate search guard to implement authentication since data is confidential.

What version of search guard is compatible with elastic search 2.3.3 ?

Can I use search guard along with spring-data-elasticsearch ?

Thanks
