Breaking changes in 6.5
editBreaking changes in 6.5
editThis section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating your application to Elasticsearch 6.5.
See also Release Highlights and Release Notes.
Logging changes
edit%node_name in logging pattern
editTo make the node name appear consistently in Elasticsearch’s logs and to clean
up much of the internal logging code we’ve removed the node name from the
"marker" in the logging configuration. If you do not customize your logging
configuration file then there is nothing for you to do. If you do customize
your logging configuration properties then you should replace %marker
with
`[%node_name]%marker `, including the trailing space. If you do not do so
Elasticsearch will log a warning on startup and log with the new pattern. It
will not change the logging configuration files though. You should make this
change before 7.0 because in 7.0 Elasticsearch will no longer automatically
add the node name to the logging configuration if it isn’t already present.
Search changes
editScroll
editUsing rescore
with a scroll query now raises a deprecation warning and
ignores the parameter. In earlier 6.x releases, rescore on scroll queries was
silently ignored. In 7.0 and later, we will return a 400 - Bad Request
with
a validation error.
SQL plugin changes
editGrouping by columns with missing values will create an additional group
editAn additional group will be present in the result of requests containing a
GROUP BY
for a column that has missing values in the returned documents.
The records with missing values in the grouped by column will be collectively
considered a single bucket.
Client changes
editDeprecate Retry.withBackoff methods that take Settings
editSettings
is no longer required by Retry
so the withBackoff
methods that
take Settings
are now deprecated and there are new versions of those methods
that do not require Settings
.
Security changes
editCustom role providers interface change
editCustom role providers previously accepted an ActionListener
with a response
type of Set<RoleDescriptor>
, but in 6.5.0 the role provider requires an
ActionListener
with a response type of RoleRetrievalResult
. The
RoleRetrievalResult
object accepts a Set<RoleDescriptor>
if the provider
was successful; if the provider was not successful the RoleRetrievalResult
should be populated with the error.
Settings changes
editAudit logfile local node info
editIn 6.5.0 a new format for the logfile auditing has been introduced. The new file format prints audit entries as JSON documents. Entries in the previous format contained positional fields. These fields are no longer positional in the new format, as they are part of the structured log entry (the JSON document). Consequently, the following settings, which toggled some of the prefix positional fields, have been renamed ("prefix" was spliced out):
-
xpack.security.audit.logfile.prefix.emit_node_host_address
toxpack.security.audit.logfile.emit_node_host_address
-
xpack.security.audit.logfile.prefix.emit_node_host_name
toxpack.security.audit.logfile.emit_node_host_name
-
xpack.security.audit.logfile.prefix.emit_node_name
toxpack.security.audit.logfile.emit_node_name
In 7.0.0 the prefix
variant will be removed.
