Parameters
edit-
Geo queries used to use
milesas the default unit. And we all know what happened at NASA because of that decision. The new default unit ismeters. -
For all queries that support fuzziness, the
min_similarity,fuzzinessandedit_distanceparameters have been unified as the single parameterfuzziness. See Fuzziness for details of accepted values. -
The
ignore_missingparameter has been replaced by theexpand_wildcards,ignore_unavailableandallow_no_indicesparameters, all of which have sensible defaults. See the multi-index docs for more. -
An index name (or pattern) is now required for destructive operations like deleting indices:
# v0.90 - delete all indices: DELETE / # v1.0 - delete all indices: DELETE /_all DELETE /*
Setting
action.destructive_requires_nametotrueprovides further safety by disabling wildcard expansion on destructive actions.
