Geo queries used to use
miles
as the default unit. And we all know what happened at NASA because of that decision. The new default unit ismeters
. -
For all queries that support fuzziness, the
min_similarity
,fuzziness
andedit_distance
parameters have been unified as the single parameterfuzziness
. See Fuzziness for details of accepted values. -
The
ignore_missing
parameter has been replaced by theexpand_wildcards
,ignore_unavailable
andallow_no_indices
parameters, all of which have sensible defaults. See the multi-index docs for more. -
An index name (or pattern) is now required for destructive operations like deleting indices:
# v0.90 - delete all indices: DELETE / # v1.0 - delete all indices: DELETE /_all DELETE /*
Setting
action.destructive_requires_name
totrue
provides further safety by disabling wildcard expansion on destructive actions.
