=== Upgrades
Infra/Core::
* Upgrade to Lucene 8.6.2 {es-pull}61688[#61688] (issue: {es-issue}61512[#61512])
[[release-notes-7.9.0]]
== {es} version 7.9.0
Also see <<breaking-changes-7.9,Breaking changes in 7.9>>.
[float]
[[security-updates-7.9.0]]
=== Security updates
* A field disclosure flaw was found in {es} when running a scrolling search with
field level security. If a user runs the same query another more privileged user
recently ran, the scrolling search can leak fields that should be hidden. This
could result in an attacker gaining additional permissions against a restricted
index. All versions of {es} before 7.9.0 and 6.8.12 are affected by this flaw.
You must upgrade to {es} version 7.9.0 or 6.8.12 to obtain the fix.
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-7019[CVE-2020-7019]
[[known-issues-7.9.0]]
[discrete]
=== Known issues
* Upgrading to 7.9.0 from an earlier version will result in incorrect mappings
on the {ml} annotations index, and possibly also on the {ml} config index. This
will lead to some pages in the {ml} UI not displaying correctly, and may prevent
{ml-jobs} being created or updated. The best way to avoid this problem if you
read about this known issue before upgrading is to manually update the mappings
on these indices in your old {es} version _before_ upgrading to 7.9.0. If you
find out about the issue after upgrading then reindexing is required to recover.
Full details of the mitigations are in
{ml-docs}/ml-troubleshooting.html#ml-troubleshooting-mappings[Upgrade to 7.9.0 causes incorrect mappings].
* Lucene 8.6.0, on which Elasticsearch 7.9.0 is based,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9478[contains a memory
leak]. This memory leak manifests in Elasticsearch when a single document is
updated repeatedly with a forced refresh. The cluster state storage layer in
Elasticsearch is based on Lucene and does use single-document updates with
forced refreshes, meaning that this memory leak manifests in Elasticsearch under
normal conditions. It also manifests when user-controlled workloads update a
single document in an index repeatedly with a forced refresh. In both cases,
the memory leak is around 500 bytes per update, so it does take some time for
the leak to show any meaningful impact on the system. Symptoms of this memory
leak are the size of the used heap slowly rising over time, requests
eventually being rejected by the real memory circuit breaker, and potentially
out-of-memory errors. A workaround is to restart any nodes exhibiting these
symptoms. We are actively working with the Lucene community to release a
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1779[fix] in Lucene 8.6.2 to
deliver in Elasticsearch 7.9.1 that will address this memory leak.
[[breaking-7.9.0]]
[discrete]
=== Breaking changes
Script Cache::
* Script cache size and rate limiting are per-context {es-pull}55753[#55753] (issue: {es-issue}50152[#50152])
Field capabilities API::
* Constant_keyword fields are now described by their family type `keyword` instead of `constant_keyword` {es-pull}58483[#58483] (issue: {es-issue}53175[#53175])
Snapshot restore throttling::
* Restoring from a snapshot (which is a particular form of recovery) is now
properly taking recovery throttling into account (i.e. the
`indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec` setting).
The `max_restore_bytes_per_sec` setting is also now defaulting to
unlimited, whereas previously it was set to `40mb`, which is the
default that's used for `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec`. This means
that no behavioral change will be observed by clusters where the recovery
and restore settings had not been adapted from the defaults. {es-pull}58658[#58658]
Thread pool write queue size::
* The WRITE thread pool default queue size (`thread_pool.write.size`) has been
increased from 200 to 10000. A small queue size (200) caused issues when users
wanted to send small indexing requests with a high client count. Additional
memory-oriented back pressure has been introduced with the
`indexing_pressure.memory.limit` setting. This setting configures a limit to
the number of bytes allowed to be consumed by outstanding indexing requests.
{es-issue}59263[#59263]
Dangling indices::
* Automatically importing dangling indices is now deprecated, disabled by
default, and will be removed in {es} 8.0. See the
<<deprecate_auto_import_dangling_indices,migration notes>>.
