=== Cluster changes
[float]
==== `:` is no longer allowed in cluster name
Due to cross-cluster search using `:` to separate a cluster and index name,
cluster names may no longer contain `:`.
[float]
==== New default for `wait_for_active_shards` parameter of the open index command
The default value for the `wait_for_active_shards` parameter of the open index API
is changed from 0 to 1, which means that the command will now by default wait for all
primary shards of the opened index to be allocated.
[float]
==== Shard preferences `_primary`, `_primary_first`, `_replica`, and `_replica_first` are removed
These shard preferences are removed in favour of the `_prefer_nodes` and `_only_nodes` preferences.
[float]
==== Cluster-wide shard soft limit
Clusters now have soft limits on the total number of open shards in the cluster
based on the number of nodes and the `cluster.max_shards_per_node` cluster
setting, to prevent accidental operations that would destabilize the cluster.
More information can be found in the <<misc-cluster,documentation for that setting>>.
