What’s new in 8.14edit

Coming in 8.14.

Here are the highlights of what’s new and improved in Elasticsearch 8.14!

Add global retention in data stream lifecycleedit

Data stream lifecycle now supports configuring retention on a cluster level, namely global retention. Global retention allows us to configure two different retentions:

  • default_retention is applied to all data streams managed by the data stream lifecycle that do not have retention defined on the data stream level.
  • max_retention is applied to all data streams managed by the data stream lifecycle and it allows any data stream data to be deleted after the max_retention has passed.

Furthermore, we introduce the term effective_retention which is the retention applied at a certain moment to a data stream considering all the available retention configurations.
