Breaking changes in 7.4
editBreaking changes in 7.4
editThis section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating your application to Elasticsearch 7.4.
See also What’s new in 7.16 and Release notes.
Plugins changes
editTokenizerFactory changes
editTokenizerFactory now has a name()
method that must be implemented. Most
plugin-provided TokenizerFactory implementations will extend AbstractTokenizerFactory
,
which now takes a name
parameter in its constructor.
Search Changes
editForbid empty doc values in vector functions
editIf a document doesn’t have a value for a vector field (dense_vector or sparse_vector) on which a vector function is executed, an error will be thrown.
Use float instead of double for query vectors
editPreviously, vector functions like cosineSimilarity
represented the query
vector as an list of doubles. Now vector functions use floats, which matches
how the stored document vectors are represented.
Snapshot and Restore changes
editThe S3 repository plugin uses the DNS style access pattern by default
editStarting in version 7.4 the repository-s3
plugin does not use the
now-deprecated path-style access pattern by default. In versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
and 7.3 the repository-s3
plugin always used the path-style access pattern.
This is a breaking change for deployments that only support path-style access
but which are recognized as supporting DNS-style access by the AWS SDK. If your
deployment only supports path-style access and is affected by this change then
you must configure the S3 client setting path_style_access
to true
. This
breaking change was made necessary by
AWS’s
announcement that the path-style access pattern is deprecated and will be
unsupported on buckets created after September 30th 2020.
HTTP changes
editChanges to Encoding Plus Signs in URLs
editStarting in version 7.4, a +
in a URL will be encoded as %2B
by all REST API functionality. Prior versions handled a +
as a single space.
If your application requires handling +
as a single space you can return to the old behaviour by setting the system property
es.rest.url_plus_as_space
to true
. Note that this behaviour is deprecated and setting this system property to true
will cease
to be supported in version 8.
Cluster changes
editRerouting after starting a shard runs at lower priority
editAfter starting each shard the elected master node must perform a reroute to
search for other shards that could be allocated. In particular, when creating
an index it is this task that allocates the replicas once the primaries have
started. In versions prior to 7.4 this task runs at priority URGENT
, but
starting in version 7.4 its priority is reduced to NORMAL
. In a
well-configured cluster this reduces the amount of work the master must do, but
means that a cluster with a master that is overloaded with other tasks at
HIGH
or URGENT
priority may take longer to allocate all replicas.
Additionally, before 7.4 the GET
_cluster_health?wait_for_no_initializing_shards
and GET
_cluster/health?wait_for_no_relocating_shards
APIs would return only once all
pending reroutes have completed too, but starting in version 7.4 if you want to
wait for the rerouting process to completely finish you should add the
wait_for_events=languid
query parameter when calling these APIs.
Allocation changes
editAuto-release of read-only-allow-delete block
editIf a node exceeds the flood-stage disk watermark then Elasticsearch adds the
index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete
block to all of its indices to prevent
further writes, as a last-resort attempt to prevent the node completely
exhausting its disk space. In earlier versions this block would remain in place
until manually removed, causing confusion for users who currently have ample
disk space and who are not aware that they nearly ran out at some point in the
past. From 7.4 onwards the block is automatically removed when the node drops
below the high watermark again, with the expectation that the high watermark is
some distance below the flood-stage watermark and therefore the disk space
problem is truly resolved. Since this block may be automatically removed, you
can no longer rely on adding this block manually to prevent writes to an index.
You should use the index.blocks.read_only
block instead. This behaviour can
be disabled by setting the system property
es.disk.auto_release_flood_stage_block
to false
.
Settings changes
editAuthentication realm name uniqueness is enforced
editAuthentication realm name uniqueness is now enforced. If you configure more than one realm of any type with the same name, the node fails to start.
pidfile
setting is being replaced by node.pidfile
editTo ensure that all settings are in a proper namespace, the pidfile
setting is
deprecated, and will be removed in version 8.0.0. Instead, use node.pidfile
.
processors
setting is being replaced by node.processors
editTo ensure that all settings are in a proper namespace, the processors
setting
is deprecated, and will be removed in version 8.0.0. Instead, use
node.processors
.
Transform changes
editStats response format changes
editThe response format of the Get transform statistics is very different to previous versions:
-
task_state
andindexer_state
are combined into a singlestate
field that replaces the oldstate
object. -
Within the
checkpointing
object,current
is renamed tolast
andin_progress
tonext
. -
The
checkpoint
number is now nested underlast
andnext
. -
checkpoint_progress
is now reported in an object nested in thenext
checkpoint object. (If there is nonext
checkpoint then no checkpoint is in progress and by definition thelast
checkpoint is 100% complete.)
For an example of the new format see Examples.
Data frame analytics changes
editChanges to progress reporting
editThe single integer progress_percent
field at the top level of the
data frame analytics job stats is replaced by a progress
field that is an array
of objects. Each object contains the phase
name and progress_percent
of one
phase of the analytics. For example:
{ "id" : "my_job", "state" : "analyzing", "progress" : [ { "phase" : "reindexing", "progress_percent" : 100 }, { "phase" : "loading_data", "progress_percent" : 100 }, { "phase" : "analyzing", "progress_percent" : 47 }, { "phase" : "writing_results", "progress_percent" : 0 } ] }
