Added

• Added AsyncAppSearch, AsyncEnterpriseSearch, and AsyncWorkplaceSearch clients which have async API methods.

• Added bearer_auth parameter for specifying an HTTP bearer tokens
• Added the meta property to ApiError to access the HTTP response metadata of an error.
• Added a check that a compatible version of the elastic-transport package is installed.

Changed

• Changed user-defined body parameters to have semantic names (e.g index_documents(documents={...}) instead of index_documents(body={...})).
• Changed responses to be objects with two properties, meta for response metadata (HTTP status, headers, node, etc) and body for a typed body.

Removed

• Removed support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.5, the library now supports only Python 3.6+
• Removed the default URL of http://localhost:3002. URL must be specified explicitly.
• Removed the ability to use positional arguments with API methods. Going forward all API parameters must be keyword-only parameters

Deprecated

• Deprecated the body and params parameters on all APIs
• Deprecated setting transport options http_auth, api_key, ignore, request_timeout, and headers
  All of these settings should instead be set via the .options() method
