- Bug fixes for 1.6: Elasticsearch 1.6.2
The bug in question (#12487) can, in very rare circumstances involving multiple simultaneous node failures or restarts, cause all copies of a shard to be deleted from the cluster. This bug was introduced in 1.5.0.
This release also contains a fix for CIDR mask conversion for IPv4 addresses, and a bug that prevented Shield users from using the more-like-this API, plus a few more changes whose details can be found in the changes list.
Please download Elasticsearch 1.7.1, try it out, and let us know what you think on Twitter (@elastic) or on our forum. You can report any problems on the GitHub issues page.
