The `status` part of the tasks API reflects the internal status of a running task. In general, we do not make backwards breaking changes to the `status` but because it is internal we reserve the right to do so. I suspect we will very rarely excercise that right but it is important that we have it so we're not boxed into any particular implementation for a request. In some sense this is policy making by documentation change. In another it is clarification of the way we've always thought of this field. I also reflect the documentation change into the Javadoc in a few places. There I acknowledge Kibana's "special relationship" with Elasticsearch. Kibana parses `_reindex`'s `status` field and, because we're friends with those folks, we should talk to them before we make backwards breaking changes to it. We *want* to be friends with everyone but there is only so much time in the day and we don't *want* to make backwards breaking fields to `status` at all anyway. So we hope that breaking changes documentation should be enough for other folks. Relates to #34245. |
