Known issues

edit

  • Slow loggers can cause Log4j loggers to leak over time. When a new index is created, a new Log4j logger is associated with it. However, when an index is deleted, Log4j keeps an internal reference to its loggers that results in a memory leak #57216 (issue: #56171)

    This issue is fixed in Elasticsearch 6.8.10 and 7.7.1.

  • SQL: If a WHERE clause contains at least two relational operators joined by AND, of which one is a comparison (<=, <, >=, >) and another one is an inequality (!=, <>), both against literals or foldable expressions, the inequality will be ignored. The workaround is to substitute the inequality with a NOT IN operator.

    We have fixed this issue in Elasticsearch 7.10.1 and later versions. For more details, see #65488.

Breaking changes

edit
Highlighting
  • Highlighters skip ignored keyword values #53408 (issue: #43800)
Infra/Core
  • Remove DEBUG-level default logging from actions #51459 (issue: #51198)
Mapping
  • Dynamic mappings in indices created on 8.0 and later have stricter validation at mapping update time and results in a deprecation warning for indices created in Elasticsearch 7.7.0 and later. (e.g. incorrect analyzer settings or unknown field types). #51233 (issues: #17411, #24419)
Search
  • Make range query rounding consistent #50237 (issue: #50009)
  • Pipeline aggregation validation errors that used to return HTTP 500s/Internal Server Errors now return 400/Bad Request #53669. As a bonus we now return a list of validation errors rather than returning the first one we encounter.
