--bc fails for Elasticsearch

[v1v]

Given the current Build Candidate pointing to 8.7.0
When running ./scripts/compose.py start 8.7.0 --bc
Then it fails with

Error response from daemon: manifest for docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.7.0 not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

That's related to a known issue with the upstream, since the docker images based on .tar.gz are not tagged with the required tags related to the version.

For instance, the manifest.json from the Elasticsearch docker context .tar.gz

manifest.json | jq .
[
  {
    "Config": "8aa89874e35b45cee1374f154179dda6bcfd5476ff78a59b8dfcccc50724ce18.json",
    "RepoTags": [
      "elasticsearch:x86_64"
    ],

while a similar manifest.json for a different stack product got different repo tags:

[
  {
    "Config": "838b7fd41341b6a601e1f52d073017b81f41f2b1a7e0ccbe1c3da3030afe5983.json",
    "RepoTags": [
      "docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.7.0

Workaround

As long as it's not fixed in the upstream it's required to manually run the below commands after hitting the above-mentioned error:

docker pull docker.elastic.co/observability-ci/elasticsearch:8.7.0
docker tag docker.elastic.co/observability-ci/elasticsearch:8.7.0 docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.7.0

or look for the docker image Id and retag it, in case the docker image is not available in docker.elastic.co/observability-ci/
