Release Notes

Upgrade Notes:

  • Upgrading from 0.18 requires issuing a full flush of all the indices in the cluster (curl host:9200/_flush) before shutting down the cluster, with no indexing operations happening after the flush.
  • The local gateway state structure has changed, a backup of the state files is created when upgrading, they can then be used to downgrade back to 0.18. Don’t downgrade without using them.

  • Allow to customize quote analyzer to be used when quoting text in a query_string (#1931)
  • Query DSL: query_string syntax to support wildcard fieldnames in the query text (#1936)

  • Support Java Date when serializing update parameters (#1902)
  • Upgrade to jackson 1.9.7 (#1908)
  • Upgrade to Netty 3.4.2 (#1909)

  • Mapping: Allow to specify enabled set to false on a property without specifying the type (#1959)
  • Network: Add network.address.serialization.resolve setting (defaults to false) to always resolve publish address based on host name (#1899)
  • Percolator Index: Don’t index the query element in a percolated query (#1949)
  • Query DSL: filtered query to support null filter or {} filter (in which case, just the query is executed) (#1900)
  • Query String: Add lenient flag to support value parse failures (#1932)
  • Query String URI: Add lenient to the URI q parameters. (#1937)
  • Search Preference: Add _shards prefix to explicitly list shards, and add _prefer_node option (#1904)
