Index API changes
editIndex API changes
editIndex aliases
editFields used in alias filters no longer have to exist in the mapping at alias creation time. Previously, alias filters were parsed at alias creation time and the parsed form was cached in memory. Now, alias filters are parsed at request time and the fields in filters are resolved from the current mapping.
This also means that index aliases now support has_parent and has_child
queries.
The GET alias api will now throw an exception if no matching aliases are found. This change brings the defaults for this API in line with the other Indices APIs. The Multiple Indices options can be used on a request to change this behavior.
File based index templates
editIndex templates can no longer be configured on disk. Use the
_template API instead.
Analyze API changes
editThe Analyze API now returns the the position of the first token as 0
instead of 1.
The prefer_local parameter has been removed. The _analyze API is a light
operation and the caller shouldn’t be concerned about whether it executes on
the node that receives the request or another node.
The text() method on AnalyzeRequest now returns String[] instead of
String.
Removed id_cache from clear cache api
editThe clear cache API no longer supports the id_cache
option. Instead, use the fielddata option to clear the cache for the
_parent field.
