=== Plugins changes

[float]
==== Azure Repository plugin

* The legacy azure settings which where starting with `cloud.azure.storage.` prefix have been removed.
This includes `account`, `key`, `default` and `timeout`.
You need to use settings which are starting with `azure.client.` prefix instead.

* Global timeout setting `cloud.azure.storage.timeout` has been removed.
You must set it per azure client instead. Like `azure.client.default.timeout: 10s` for example.

See {plugins}/repository-azure-repository-settings.html#repository-azure-repository-settings[Azure Repository settings].

[float]
==== Google Cloud Storage Repository plugin

* The repository settings `application_name`, `connect_timeout` and `read_timeout` have been removed and
must now be specified in the client settings instead.

See {plugins}/repository-gcs-client.html#repository-gcs-client[Google Cloud Storage Client Settings].

[float]
==== S3 Repository Plugin

* The plugin now uses the path style access pattern for all requests.
In previous versions it was automatically determining whether to use virtual hosted style or path style
access.

[float]
==== Analysis Plugin changes

* The misspelled helper method `requriesAnalysisSettings(AnalyzerProvider<T> provider)` has been
renamed to `requiresAnalysisSettings`

[float]
==== File-based discovery plugin

* This plugin has been removed since its functionality is now part of
Elasticsearch and requires no plugin. The location of the hosts file has moved
from `$ES_PATH_CONF/file-discovery/unicast_hosts.txt` to
`$ES_PATH_CONF/unicast_hosts.txt`. See <<file-based-hosts-provider, the
file-based hosts provider documentation>> for further information.

[float]
==== Security Extensions

As a consequence of the <<include-realm-type-in-setting, change to Realm settings>>,
the `getRealmSettings` method has been removed from the `SecurityExtension` class,
and the `settings` method on `RealmConfig` now returns the node's (global) settings.
Custom security extensions should register their settings by implementing the standard
`Plugin.getSettings` method, and can retrieve them from `RealmConfig.settings()` or
using one of the `RealmConfig.getSetting` methods.
Each realm setting should be defined as an `AffixSetting` as shown in the example below:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
Setting.AffixSetting<String> MY_SETTING = Setting.affixKeySetting(
  "xpack.security.authc.realms." + MY_REALM_TYPE + ".", "my_setting",
  key -> Setting.simpleString(key, properties)
);
--------------------------------------------------

The `RealmSettings.simpleString` method can be used as a convenience for the above.
