As noted in the client's documentation, the Elasticsearch Node.js client and supporting libraries like this one will drop support for Node.js versions that have reached end of life between minor versions. Node.js v12 reached EOL in April of 2022, so we no longer support it as of client version 8.4.0. Support for v14 and v16 will end when I ship 8.11.0 of the client in the next few days.
