The `type` parameter has been removed from all OpenSearch API endpoints. Instead, indexes can be categorized by document type. For more details, see issue [#1940](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch/issues/1940).
### Removal of outdated nomenclature
In order for OpenSearch to include more inclusive naming conventions, we've replaced the following terms in our code with a more inclusive term:
If you are still using the outdated terms in the context of the security APIs or for node management, your calls and automation will continue to work until the terms are removed later in 2022.
The override main response setting `compatibility.override_main_response_version` is deprecated from OpenSearch version 1.x and removed from OpenSearch 2.0.0. This setting is no longer supported for compatibility with legacy clients.
In OpenSearch 2.0, the Alerting plugin is now integrated with new plugins for Notifications. If you want to continue to use the notification action in the Alerting plugin, install the new backend plugins `notifications-core` and `notifications`. If you want to manage notifications in OpenSearch Dashboards, use the new `notificationsDashboards` plugin.
