0.19.9 Released
elasticsearch version 0.19.9
is out. You can download it here. It contains several bug fixes but also new features, including:
Snappy Compression
New experimental support for snappy
compression on top of the current lzf
. Changing to use it is as simple as setting compress.default.type
to snappy
. Note, anything already compressed with lzf
will still work correctly.
text
renamed to match
The text
query name gave it great injustice, as it nicely also handles dates and numeric types as well for example. It was renamed to match
in order to better reflect what it actually does, with backward support for the text
name as well.
On top of that there is now support for multi_match query, allowing to more easily run match
queries on several fields without the verbosity of using bool
query to wrap it.
Explain API
New API called explain, allowing to easily check how and why a specific document matches a query, or even understand why a specific document does not match a specific query.
Networking Enhacements
Several networking enhancements geared towards reducing further the amount of buffer copies while doing network operations, and better defaults for network buffer sizes.
