==== {dataframes-cap}
|
|
|
|
beta[] You can now transform your data with
|
|
{ref}/transforms.html[data frames]. There is a new {kib} wizard that
|
|
guides you through the process of creating a {dataframe-transform} to pivot and
|
|
summarize your data and store it in a new index. Alternatively, you can use
|
|
{ref}/data-frame-apis.html[{dataframe} APIs] to preview, create, and manage
|
|
the transforms.

==== Closed indices are now replicated
|
|
|
|
Elasticsearch 7.2.0 brings better support for closed indices by allowing
|
|
shards of closed indices to be replicated.
|
|
As soon as an index is closed, Elasticsearch takes care of safely tearing down
|
|
the "opened" shards before reinitializing them as "closed" shards, which require
|
|
fewer resources. Closed shards can later be promoted to primary shards or
|
|
automatically recovered during {ref}/recovery.html[peer recovery]
|
|
The data is also automatically replicated by the
|
|
cluster to ensure that enough shard copies are safely kept around at all
|
|
times (configurable with `index.number_of_replicas`).
|
|
|
|
In addition to that, it is now possible to snapshot closed indices using
|
|
the {ref}/modules-snapshots.html[Snapshot/Restore API]. To include a closed index
|
|
when creating a snapshot on Elasticsearch 7.2+, the `expand_wildcards`
|
|
parameter must be explicitly set to either `all` or `closed` .
|
|
|
|
Note that only indices closed in Elasticsearch 7.2+ are automatically
|
|
replicated. Indices closed on previous versions of Elasticsearch will
|
|
remain non replicated unless they are opened and closed again in 7.2+.

==== Geo features in SQL
|
|
beta[] This release introduces the first set of geo features to SQL.
|
|
The implementation is based on the OpenGIS® Implementation Standard for Geographic
|
|
information - "Simple feature access". This is the current de-facto standard for GIS
|
|
system implementation. This release includes a small subset of SQL option AKA ISO 19125-2.
|
|
|
|
For this initial beta release, we added support for returning
|
|
geo_shapes and geo_points as results, added support for a few geo functions
|
|
(ST_AsText, ST_Distance, ST_GeometryType, ST_GeometryFromText, ST_X, ST_Y, and ST_Z)
|
|
, and added a limited support for using geo_points in distance queries. For example:
|
|
SELECT * FROM my_index WHERE ST_Distance(point, ST_WKTToSQL('point (10 20)')) < 20.

==== OpenId Connect authentication realm
|
|
|
|
This release introduces OpenId Connect as an authentication realm.
|
|
Elasticsearch (with the assistance of Kibana or another web component) can now serve as an
|
|
OpenID Connect Relying Party (RP). {es} supports the Authorization Code Grant and Implicit
|
|
flows as described in http://ela.st/oidc-spec. It also supports consuming and verifying signed ID Tokens
|
|
, RP initiated single sign on (SSO), 3rd party initiated SSO, and RP initiated single logout.

==== Search as you type field mapping type
|
|
|
|
The `search_as_you_type` field type is a text-like field optimized to
|
|
provide out-of-the-box support for queries that serve an as-you-type completion
|
|
use case. It creates a series of subfields that are analyzed to index terms
|
|
that can be efficiently matched by a query that partially matches the entire
|
|
indexed text value. Both prefix completion (i.e matching terms starting at the
|
|
beginning of the input) and infix completion (i.e. matching terms at any
|
|
position within the input) are supported.

==== Distance Feature Query
|
|
|
|
The `distance_feature` query is a specialized query that only works on `date`, `date_nanos`, or `geo_point`
|
|
fields. The query boosts documents scores based on proximity to some given origin.
|
|
For example, you can use this query to give higher scores to documents with dates
|
|
closer to a certain date or locations closer to a certain location.
