=== Removed features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Rivers have been removed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elasticsearch does not support rivers anymore. While we had first planned to
|
|
|
|
|
keep them around to ease migration, keeping support for rivers proved to be
|
|
|
|
|
challenging as it conflicted with other important changes that we wanted to
|
|
|
|
|
bring to 2.0 like synchronous dynamic mappings updates, so we eventually
|
|
|
|
|
decided to remove them entirely. See
|
|
|
|
|
link:/blog/deprecating_rivers[Deprecating Rivers] for more background about
|
|
|
|
|
why we took this decision.

|
|
|
==== Facets have been removed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Facets, deprecated since 1.0, have now been removed. Instead, use the much
|
|
|
|
|
more powerful and flexible <<search-aggregations,aggregations>> framework.
|
|
|
|
|
This also means that Kibana 3 will not work with Elasticsearch 2.0.

|
|
|
==== MVEL has been removed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The MVEL scripting language has been removed. The default scripting language
|
|
|
|
|
is now Groovy.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
==== Delete-by-query is now a plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The old delete-by-query functionality was fast but unsafe. It could lead to
|
|
|
|
|
document differences between the primary and replica shards, and could even
|
|
|
|
|
produce out of memory exceptions and cause the cluster to crash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-19 10:43:50 -04:00
|
|
|
This feature has been reimplemented using the <<search-request-scroll,scroll>> and
|
|
|
|
|
<<docs-bulk,`bulk`>> APIs, which may be slower for queries which match
|
2015-08-14 14:26:06 -04:00
|
|
|
large numbers of documents, but is safe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, a long running delete-by-query job cannot be cancelled, which is
|
|
|
|
|
one of the reasons that this functionality is only available as a plugin. You
|
|
|
|
|
can install the plugin with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
./bin/plugin install delete-by-query
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== `_shutdown` API
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `_shutdown` API has been removed without a replacement. Nodes should be
|
|
|
|
|
managed via the operating system and the provided start/stop scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
==== `murmur3` is now a plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `murmur3` field, which indexes hashes of the field values, has been moved
|
|
|
|
|
out of core and is available as a plugin. It can be installed as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
./bin/plugin install mapper-murmur3
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
==== `_size` is now a plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `_size` meta-data field, which indexes the size in bytes of the original
|
|
|
|
|
JSON document, has been moved out of core and is available as a plugin. It
|
|
|
|
|
can be installed as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
./bin/plugin install mapper-size
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Thrift and memcached transport
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The thrift and memcached transport plugins are no longer supported. Instead, use
|
|
|
|
|
either the HTTP transport (enabled by default) or the node or transport Java client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Bulk UDP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bulk UDP API has been removed. Instead, use the standard
|
|
|
|
|
<<docs-bulk,`bulk`>> API, or use UDP to send documents to Logstash first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== MergeScheduler pluggability
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The merge scheduler is no longer pluggable.
|
|
|
|
