+=== Compatibility mode: using a 7.17 client with {es} 8.x
+The HLRC version `7.17` can be used with {es} version `8.x` by enabling
+HLRC's compatibility mode (see code sample below). In this mode HLRC sends
+additional headers that instruct {es} `8.x` to behave like a `7.x` server.
+
+The {java-client} doesn't need this setting as compatibility mode is always
+enabled.

+=== Using the same http client with the HLRC and the Java API Client
+
+To avoid any operational overhead during the transition phase where an
+application would use both the HLRC and the new Java API Client, both clients
+can share the same Low Level Rest Client, which is the network layer that
+manages all connections, round-robin strategies, node sniffing, and so on.
+
+The code below shows how to initialize both clients with the same HTTP client:
