[float] [[breaking_70_api_changes]] === API changes [float] ==== Camel case and underscore parameters deprecated in 6.x have been removed A number of duplicate parameters deprecated in 6.x have been removed from Bulk request, Multi Get request, Term Vectors request, and More Like This Query requests. The following camel case parameters have been removed: * `opType` * `versionType`, `_versionType` The following parameters starting with underscore have been removed: * `_parent` * `_retry_on_conflict` * `_routing` * `_version` * `_version_type` Instead of these removed parameters, use their non camel case equivalents without starting underscore, e.g. use `version_type` instead of `_version_type` or `versionType`. [float] ==== Thread pool info In previous versions of Elasticsearch, the thread pool info returned in the <> returned `min` and `max` values reflecting the configured minimum and maximum number of threads that could be in each thread pool. The trouble with this representation is that it does not align with the configuration parameters used to configure thread pools. For <>, the minimum number of threads is configured by a parameter called `core` and the maximum number of threads is configured by a parameter called `max`. For <>, there is only one configuration parameter along these lines and that parameter is called `size`, reflecting the fixed number of threads in the pool. This discrepancy between the API and the configuration parameters has been rectified. Now, the API will report `core` and `max` for scaling thread pools, and `size` for fixed thread pools. Similarly, in the cat thread pool API the existing `size` output has been renamed to `pool_size` which reflects the number of threads currently in the pool; the shortcut for this value has been changed from `s` to `psz`. The `min` output has been renamed to `core` with a shortcut of `cr`, the shortcut for `max` has been changed to `mx`, and the `size` output with a shortcut of `sz` has been reused to report the configured number of threads in the pool. This aligns the output of the API with the configuration values for thread pools. Note that `core` and `max` will be populated for scaling thread pools, and `size` will be populated for fixed thread pools. [float] ==== The parameter `fields` deprecated in 6.x has been removed from Bulk request and Update request. The Update API returns `400 - Bad request` if request contains unknown parameters (instead of ignored in the previous version). [float] [[remove-suggest-metric]] ==== Remove support for `suggest` metric/index metric in indices stats and nodes stats APIs Previously, `suggest` stats were folded into `search` stats. Support for the `suggest` metric on the indices stats and nodes stats APIs remained for backwards compatibility. Backwards support for the `suggest` metric was deprecated in 6.3.0 and now removed in 7.0.0. [[remove-field-caps-body]] In the past, `fields` could be provided either as a parameter, or as part of the request body. Specifying `fields` in the request body as opposed to a parameter was deprecated in 6.4.0, and is now unsupported in 7.0.0. [float] ==== `copy_settings` is deprecated on shrink and split APIs Versions of Elasticsearch prior to 6.4.0 did not copy index settings on shrink and split operations. Starting with Elasticsearch 7.0.0, the default behavior will be for such settings to be copied on such operations. To enable users in 6.4.0 to transition in 6.4.0 to the default behavior in 7.0.0, the `copy_settings` parameter was added on the REST layer. As this behavior will be the only behavior in 8.0.0, this parameter is deprecated in 7.0.0 for removal in 8.0.0. [float] ==== The deprecated stored script contexts have now been removed When putting stored scripts, support for storing them with the deprecated `template` context or without a context is now removed. Scripts must be stored using the `script` context as mentioned in the documentation. [float] ==== Get Aliases API limitations when {security} is enabled removed The behavior and response codes of the get aliases API no longer vary depending on whether {security} is enabled. Previously a 404 - NOT FOUND (IndexNotFoundException) could be returned in case the current user was not authorized for any alias. An empty response with status 200 - OK is now returned instead at all times. [float] ==== Put User API response no longer has `user` object The Put User API response was changed in 6.5.0 to add the `created` field outside of the user object where it previously had been. In 7.0.0 the user object has been removed in favor of the top level `created` field. [float] ==== Source filtering url parameters `_source_include` and `_source_exclude` have been removed The deprecated in 6.x url parameters are now removed. Use `_source_includes` and `_source_excludes` instead. [float] ==== Multi Search Request metadata validation MultiSearchRequests issued through `_msearch` now validate all keys in the metadata section. Previously unknown keys were ignored while now an exception is thrown.
