 === Elasticsearch 7 compatibility headers
 
 When using Spring Data Elasticsearch 4 - which uses the Elasticsearch 7 client libraries - and accessing an Elasticsearch cluster that is running on version 8, it is necessary to set the compatibility headers
-https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.0/rest-api-compatibility.html[see Elasticserach documentation].
-This should be done using a header supplier like shown above:
+https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.0/rest-api-compatibility.html[see Elasticsearch 
+documentation].
+
+For the imperative client this must be done by setting the default headers, for the reactive code this must be done using a header supplier:
