=== Search and Query DSL changes
==== `search_type`
===== `search_type=count` removed
The `count` search type was deprecated since version 2.0.0 and is now removed.
In order to get the same benefits, you just need to set the value of the `size`
parameter to `0`.
For instance, the following request:
[source,sh]
---------------
GET /my_index/_search?search_type=count
{
"aggs": {
"my_terms": {
"terms": {
"field": "foo"
}
}
}
}
---------------
can be replaced with:
[source,sh]
---------------
GET /my_index/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"my_terms": {
"terms": {
"field": "foo"
}
}
}
}
---------------
===== `search_type=scan` removed
The `scan` search type was deprecated since version 2.1.0 and is now removed.
All benefits from this search type can now be achieved by doing a scroll
request that sorts documents in `_doc` order, for instance:
[source,sh]
---------------
GET /my_index/_search?scroll=2m
{
"sort": [
"_doc"
]
}
---------------
Scroll requests sorted by `_doc` have been optimized to more efficiently resume
from where the previous request stopped, so this will have the same performance
characteristics as the former `scan` search type.
==== `fields` parameter
The `fields` parameter used to try to retrieve field values from stored
fields, and fall back to extracting from the `_source` if a field is not
marked as stored. Now, the `fields` parameter will only return stored fields
-- it will no longer extract values from the `_source`.
==== search-exists API removed
The search exists api has been removed in favour of using the search api with
`size` set to `0` and `terminate_after` set to `1`.
==== Deprecated queries removed
The following deprecated queries have been removed:
`filtered`:: Use `bool` query instead, which supports `filter` clauses too.
`and`:: Use `must` clauses in a `bool` query instead.
`or`:: Use `should` clauses in a `bool` query instead.
`limit`:: Use the `terminate_after` parameter instead.
`fquery`:: Is obsolete after filters and queries have been merged.
`query`:: Is obsolete after filters and queries have been merged.
`query_binary`:: Was undocumented and has been removed.
`filter_binary`:: Was undocumented and has been removed.
==== Changes to queries
* Unsupported queries such as term queries on `geo_point` fields will now fail
rather than returning no hits.
* Removed support for fuzzy queries on numeric, date and ip fields, use range
queries instead.
* Removed support for range and prefix queries on `_uid` and `_id` fields.
* Querying an unindexed field will now fail rather than returning no hits.
* Removed support for the deprecated `min_similarity` parameter in `fuzzy
query`, in favour of `fuzziness`.
* Removed support for the deprecated `fuzzy_min_sim` parameter in
`query_string` query, in favour of `fuzziness`.
* Removed support for the deprecated `edit_distance` parameter in completion
suggester, in favour of `fuzziness`.
* Removed support for the deprecated `filter` and `no_match_filter` fields in `indices` query,
in favour of `query` and `no_match_query`.
* Removed support for the deprecated `filter` fields in `nested` query, in favour of `query`.
* Removed support for the deprecated `minimum_should_match` and
`disable_coord` in `terms` query, use `bool` query instead. Also removed
support for the deprecated `execution` parameter.
* Removed support for the top level `filter` element in `function_score` query, replaced by `query`.
* The `collect_payloads` parameter of the `span_near` query has been deprecated. Payloads will be loaded when needed.
* The `score_type` parameter to the `nested` and `has_child` queries has been
removed in favour of `score_mode`. The `score_mode` parameter to `has_parent`
has been deprecated in favour of the `score` boolean parameter. Also, the
`total` score mode has been removed in favour of the `sum` mode.
* When the `max_children` parameter was set to `0` on the `has_child` query
then there was no upper limit on how many child documents were allowed to
match. Now, `0` really means that zero child documents are allowed. If no
upper limit is needed then the `max_children` parameter shouldn't be specified
at all.
* The `exists` query will now fail if the `_field_names` field is disabled.
* The `multi_match` query will fail if `fuzziness` is used for `cross_fields`, `phrase` or `phrase_prefix` type.
This parameter was undocumented and silently ignored before for these types of `multi_match`.
* Deprecated support for the coerce, normalize, ignore_malformed parameters in GeoPolygonQuery. Use parameter validation_method instead.
* Deprecated support for the coerce, normalize, ignore_malformed parameters in GeoDistanceRangeQuery. Use parameter validation_method instead.
* Deprecated support for the coerce, normalize, ignore_malformed parameters in GeoDistanceQuery. Use parameter validation_method instead.
* Deprecated support for the coerce, normalize, ignore_malformed parameters in GeoBoundingBoxQuery. Use parameter validation_method instead.
==== Top level `filter` parameter
Removed support for the deprecated top level `filter` in the search api,
replaced by `post_filter`.
==== Highlighters
Removed support for multiple highlighter names, the only supported ones are:
`plain`, `fvh` and `postings`.
==== Term vectors API
The term vectors APIs no longer persist unmapped fields in the mappings.
The `dfs` parameter to the term vectors API has been removed completely. Term
vectors don't support distributed document frequencies anymore.
==== Sort
The `reverse` parameter has been removed, in favour of explicitly
specifying the sort order with the `order` option.
The `coerce` and `ignore_malformed` parameters were deprecated in favour of `validation_method`.
==== Inner hits
* Top level inner hits syntax has been removed. Inner hits can now only be specified as part of the `nested`,
`has_child` and `has_parent` queries. Use cases previously only possible with top level inner hits can now be done
with inner hits defined inside the query dsl.
* Source filtering for inner hits inside nested queries requires full field names instead of relative field names.
This is now consistent for source filtering on other places in the search API.
==== Query Profiler
In the response for profiling queries, the `query_type` has been renamed to `type` and `lucene` has been renamed to
`description`. These changes have been made so the response format is more friendly to supporting other types of profiling
in the future.
