Breaking Changes

edit
Inner Hits
  • Return the _source of inner hit nested as is without wrapping it into its full path context #26982 (issues: #26102, #26944)

Enhancements

edit
Core
Index Templates
  • Fix error message for a put index template request without index_patterns #27102 (issue: #27100)
Machine Learning
  • Added the xpack.ml.max_model_memory_limit setting, which can be dynamically updated. For more information, see Machine learning settings.
  • Added checks and error messages for the ml.enabled and ml.max_open_jobs node attributes. These are reserved for internal use and their values should be set by using xpack.ml.enabled and xpack.ml.max_open_jobs machine learning settings.
Mapping
  • Don’t detect source’s XContentType in DocumentParser.parseDocument() #26880
Network
  • Add additional low-level logging handler #26887

Plugins
  • Adjust SHA-512 supported format on plugin install #27093
REST
Security
  • Improved the error messages that are returned by the setup-passwords command.
Watcher
  • Added verification that the required templates exist before Watcher starts. For more information, see Scripts and templates.
  • Added the xpack.watcher.history.cleaner_service.enabled setting. You can use this setting to enable or disable the cleaner service, which removes previous versions of Watcher indices (for example, .watcher-history*) when it determines that they are old. For more information, see Watcher Settings.
