apply HPA for Statefulset in kubernetes?

I am trying to setup HPA for my statefulset(for elasticsearch) in kubernetes environment. I am planning to scale the statefulset using the cpu utilization. I have created the metric server from https://github.com/stefanprodan/k8s-prom-hpa/tree/master/metrics-server.

and my HPA yaml for statefulset is as folows:

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta1
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: dz-es-cluster
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
    kind: StatefulSet
    name: dz-es-cluster
  minReplicas: 2
  maxReplicas: 3
  metrics:
  - type: Resource
    resource:
      name: cpu
      targetAverageUtilization: 80

But getting output in hpa as follows:

Conditions:
  Type         Status  Reason          Message
  ----         ------  ------          -------
  AbleToScale  False   FailedGetScale  the HPA controller was unable to get the target's current scale: the server could not find the requested resource
Events:
  Type     Reason          Age                From                       Message
  ----     ------          ----               ----                       -------
  Warning  FailedGetScale  1m (x71 over 36m)  horizontal-pod-autoscaler  the server could not find the requested resource

someone please help me..

The support for autoscaling the statefulsets using HPA is added in kubernetes 1.9, so your version doesn't has support for it. After kubernetes 1.9, you can autoscale your statefulsets using:

apiVersion: autoscaling/v1
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: YOUR_HPA_NAME
spec:
  maxReplicas: 3
  minReplicas: 1
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: StatefulSet
    name: YOUR_STATEFUL_SET_NAME
  targetCPUUtilizationPercentage: 80
