Breaking changes

There are no notable breaking changes in Elasticsearch 8.10. But there are some less critical breaking changes.

Cluster and node setting changes

edit

Remove the unused executor builder for vector tile plugin

Details
The threadpool called vectortile is a left over from the original development of the vector tile search end point and it is used nowhere. It can still be a breaking change if it is configured on the elasticsearch yml file, for example by changing the threadpool size thread_pool.vectortile.size=8'

Impact
In the case the threadpool appears on the yaml file, Elasticsearch will not start until those lines are removed.

Java API changes

Change pre-configured and cached analyzer components to use IndexVersion instead of Version

Details
This PR changes the types used to obtain pre-configured components from Version to IndexVersion, with corresponding changes to method names.

Prior to 8.10, there is a one-to-one mapping between node version and index version, with corresponding constants in the IndexVersion class. Starting in 8.10, IndexVersion is versioned independently of node version, and will be a simple incrementing number. For more information on how to use IndexVersion and other version types, please see the contributing guide.

Impact
Analysis components now take IndexVersion instead of Version
