UnsupportedProductError with AWS ElasticSearch Service

[sbds]

Starting yesterday I'm receiving UnsupportedProductError when bulk writing against an AWS ElasticSearch v7.10 domain.

The Elasticsearch clients go through rigorous testing and validation against the official Elasticsearch distribution coming from Elastic. Since the AWS Elasticsearch Service has incompatible APIs with Elasticsearch itself, either by missing APIs or has incompatible format, we do not support it. Please consider using Elastic Cloud for an official and formally supported hosted Elasticsearch distribution.

Sure, I'll move my whole stack to satisfy your little client. Good luck promoting that.

@sbds I can understand your pain. Also had to fix it by myself when AWS bumped client to latest. What I did — pin AWS 7.9 and client 7.11 and plan moving my Search from AWS in f/w 21-22 :(

Is it really okay to make a change like this in a minor version update? Feels like a huge breaking change to me. And with no option to opt out of this check no less?

Hard not to feel like you guys made this change because you didn't like AWS running a competing managed service. Really not a good look
