Migrating to 7.10
editMigrating to 7.10
editThis section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating your application to Elasticsearch 7.10.
See also What’s new in 7.14 and Release notes.
Breaking changes
editThe following changes in Elasticsearch 7.10 might affect your applications and prevent them from operating normally. Before upgrading to 7.10, review these changes and take the described steps to mitigate the impact.
Breaking changes introduced in minor versions are normally limited to security and bug fixes. Significant changes in behavior are deprecated in a minor release and the old behavior is supported until the next major release. To find out if you are using any deprecated functionality, enable deprecation logging.
Authentication changes
editAPI keys now require a name
property.
Details
The name
property is now required to create or grant an API key.
{ "...": "...", "api_key": { "name": "key-1" } }
Impact
To avoid errors, specify the name
property when creating or granting API keys.
Java changes
editThe MappedFieldType#fielddataBuilder
method now accepts a Supplier<SearchLookup>
argument.
Details
To support future feature development, the existing
MappedFieldType#fielddataBuilder
method now accepts a new
Supplier<SearchLookup>
argument.
Impact
If you develop or maintain a mapper plugin, update your implementation of the
MappedFieldType#fielddataBuilder
method to accommodate the new signature.
Networking changes
editThe *.tcp.keep_idle
and *.tcp.keep_interval
settings are now limited to 300
seconds.
Details
The {network,transport,http}.tcp.keep_idle
and
{network,transport,http}.tcp.keep_interval
settings now have a maximum
value of 300
seconds, equivalent to 5 minutes.
Impact
If specified, ensure the {network,transport,http}.tcp.keep_idle
and
{network,transport,http}.tcp.keep_interval
settings do not exceed 300
seconds. Setting {network,transport,http}.tcp.keep_idle
or
{network,transport,http}.tcp.keep_interval
to a value greater than 300
seconds in elasticsearch.yml
will result in an error on startup.
Search changes
editThe index.max_docvalue_fields_search
setting now limits doc value fields returned by inner_hits
or the top_hits
aggregation.
Details
The index.max_docvalue_fields_search
setting limits the number of doc value
fields retrieved by a search. Previously, this setting applied only to doc value
fields returned by the docvalue_fields
parameter in a top-level search. The
setting now also applies to doc value fields returned by an inner_hits
section
or top_hits
aggregation.
Impact
If you use inner_hits
or the top_hits
aggregation, ensure
index.max_docvalue_fields_search
is configured correctly for your use case.
Deprecations
editThe following functionality has been deprecated in Elasticsearch 7.10 and will be removed in 8.0 While this won’t have an immediate impact on your applications, we strongly encourage you take the described steps to update your code after upgrading to 7.10.
Significant changes in behavior are deprecated in a minor release and the old behavior is supported until the next major release. To find out if you are using any deprecated functionality, enable deprecation logging.
Cluster deprecations
editThe cluster.join.timeout
setting is deprecated.
Details
The cluster.join.timeout
node setting is deprecated and will be removed in
8.0. In 7.x clusters, join attempts no longer time out.
Impact
To avoid deprecation warnings, discontinue use of the setting.
Indices deprecations
editREST API access to system indices is deprecated.
Details
We are deprecating REST API access to system indices. Most REST API requests
that attempt to access system indices will return the following deprecation
warning:
this request accesses system indices: [.system_index_name], but in a future major version, direct access to system indices will be prevented by default
The following REST API endpoints access system indices as part of their implementation and will not return the deprecation warning:
-
GET _cluster/health
-
GET {index}/_recovery
-
GET _cluster/allocation/explain
-
GET _cluster/state
-
POST _cluster/reroute
-
GET {index}/_stats
-
GET {index}/_segments
-
GET {index}/_shard_stores
-
GET _cat/[indices,aliases,health,recovery,shards,segments]
Impact
To avoid deprecation warnings, do not use unsupported REST APIs to access system
indices.
Machine learning deprecations
editThe allow_no_jobs
and allow_no_datafeeds
API parameters are deprecated.
Details
The allow_no_jobs
and allow_no_datafeeds
parameters in machine learning APIs are
deprecated in favor of allow_no_match
. The old parameters are still accepted
by the APIs but a deprecation warning is emitted when the old parameter name is
used in the request body or as a request parameter. High-level REST client
classes now send the new allow_no_match
parameter.
Impact
To avoid deprecation warnings, use the allow_no_match
parameter.
Mapping deprecations
editThe boost
parameter on field mappings has been deprecated.
Details
Index-time boosts have been deprecated since the 5.x line, but it is still possible
to declare field-specific boosts in the mappings. This is now deprecated as well,
and will be removed entirely in 8.0.0. Mappings containing field boosts will continue
to work in 7.x but will emit a deprecation warning.
Impact
The boost
setting should be removed from templates and mappings. Use boosts
directly on queries instead.
Snapshot and restore deprecations
editThe repository stats API has been deprecated.
Details
The repository stats API was introduced as an experimental API in 7.8.0. The
repositories metering APIs now replace the
repository stats API. The repository stats API has been deprecated and will be
removed in 8.0.0.
Impact
Use the repositories metering APIs.
Discontinue use of the repository stats API.
