+An official Go client for Elasticsearch.
 
+Full documentation is hosted at https://github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch[GitHub]
+and https://godoc.org/github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch[GoDoc]
+-- this page provides only an overview.
+
+.Work In Progress
+************************************************************************************
+The client is currently available as a public preview. We encourage you to try the
+package in your projects, but please be aware that the public API may change.
+************************************************************************************
+
+=== Elasticsearch Version Compatibility
+
+The client major versions correspond to the Elasticsearch major versions:
+to connect to Elasticsearch `6.x`, use a `6.x` version of the client,
+to connect to Elasticsearch `7.x`, use a `7.x` version of the client, and so on.
+
+The `master` branch of the client is compatible with the `master` branch of Elasticsearch.
+
+=== Installation
+
+Add the package to your `go.mod` file:
+
+[source,text]
+------------------------------------
+require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch {VERSION}

+
+=== Usage
