+.You can no longer set `xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size` on non-frozen nodes. {ess-icon}
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Setting `xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size` on a node
+that does not have the `data_frozen` role was deprecated in {es} 7.12.0 and has
+been removed in {es} 8.0.0.
+

+{es} only allocates partially mounted indices to nodes with the `data_frozen`
+role. Remove the `xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size` setting from nodes that don't have the `data_frozen` role. 
+====

+====
+*Details* +
+The default for the `action.destructive_requires_name` setting changes from `false`
+to `true` in {es} 8.0.0.
+
+Previously, defaulting to `false` allowed users to use wildcard
+patterns to delete, close, or change index blocks on indices. 
+To prevent the accidental deletion of indices that happen to match a
+wildcard pattern, we now default to requiring that destructive
+operations explicitly name the indices to be modified.

+[[max_clause_count_change]]
+.The `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` setting now limits all query clauses.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Previously, the `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` would apply to the number
+of clauses of a single `bool` query. It now applies to the total number of
+clauses of the rewritten query. To reduce chances of breaks, its
+default value has been bumped from 1024 to 4096.
+
+*Impact* +
+Queries with many clauses should be avoided whenever possible.

+Setting `indices.lifecycle.poll_interval` too low can cause
+excessive load on a cluster. The poll interval must now be at least `1s` (one second).
+
+*Impact* +
+Set `indices.lifecycle.poll_interval` setting to `1s` or
+greater in `elasticsearch.yml` or through the
+{ref}/cluster-update-settings.html[cluster update settings API].
+
+Setting `indices.lifecycle.poll_interval` to less than `1s` in

+.The file and native realms are now enabled unless explicitly disabled.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The file and native realms are now enabled unless explicitly disabled. If
+explicitly disabled, the file and native realms remain disabled at all times.
+
+Previously, the file and native realms had the following implicit behaviors:
+
+* If the file and native realms were not configured, they were implicitly disabled
+if any other realm was configured.
+
+* If no other realm was available because realms were either not configured,
+not permitted by license, or explicitly disabled, the file and native realms
+were enabled, even if explicitly disabled.
+
+*Impact* +
+To explicitly disable the file or native realm, set the respective
+`file.<realm-name>.enabled` or `native.<realm-name>.enabled` setting to `false`
+under the `xpack.security.authc.realms` namespace in `elasticsearch.yml`.
+
+The following configuration example disables the native realm and the file realm.
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+xpack.security.authc.realms:
+
+  native.realm1.enabled: false
+  file.realm2.enabled: false

+.The realm `order` setting is now required.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `xpack.security.authc.realms.{type}.{name}.order` setting is now required and must be
+specified for each explicitly configured realm. Each value must be unique.
+
+*Impact* +
+The cluster will fail to start if the requirements are not met.
+
+For example, the following configuration is invalid:

+[[breaking_80_allocation_change_include_relocations_removed]]
+.`cluster.routing.allocation.disk.include_relocations` has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+{es} now always accounts for the sizes of relocating shards when making
+allocation decisions based on the disk usage of the nodes in the cluster. In
+earlier versions, you could disable this by setting `cluster.routing.allocation.disk.include_relocations` to `false`.
+That could result in poor allocation decisions that could overshoot watermarks and require significant
+extra work to correct. The `cluster.routing.allocation.disk.include_relocations` setting has been removed.

+.`http.content_type.required` has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `http.content_type.required` setting was deprecated in Elasticsearch 6.0
+and has been removed in Elasticsearch 8.0. The setting was introduced in
+Elasticsearch 5.3 to prepare users for Elasticsearch 6.0, where content type
+auto detection was removed for HTTP requests.
+
+*Impact* +
+Remove the `http.content_type.required` setting from `elasticsearch.yml`. Specifying this setting  will result in an error on startup.
+====
+
+.`http.tcp_no_delay` has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `http.tcp_no_delay` setting was deprecated in 7.x and has been removed in 8.0. Use`http.tcp.no_delay` instead.
+
+*Impact* +
+Replace the `http.tcp_no_delay` setting with `http.tcp.no_delay`.  
+Specifying  `http.tcp_no_delay` in `elasticsearch.yml` will
+result in an error on startup.
+====
+
+.`network.tcp.connect_timeout` has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `network.tcp.connect_timeout` setting was deprecated in 7.x and has been removed in 8.0. This setting
+was a fallback setting for `transport.connect_timeout`.
+
+*Impact* +
+Remove the`network.tcp.connect_timeout` setting. 
+Use the `transport.connect_timeout` setting to change the default connection
+timeout for client connections. Specifying
+`network.tcp.connect_timeout` in `elasticsearch.yml` will result in an

+has been removed in 8.0. Nodes should be run on separate data paths
+to ensure that each node is consistently assigned to the same data path.
+
+*Impact* +
+Remove the `node.max_local_storage_nodes` setting. Specifying this
+setting in `elasticsearch.yml` will result in an error on startup.

+`xpack.security.authz.store.roles.index.cache.ttl` settings have
+been removed. These settings have been redundant and deprecated
+since the 5.2 release of {es}.
+
+*Impact* +

+
+[discrete]
+[[saml-realm-nameid-changes]]
+.The `nameid_format` SAML realm setting no longer has a default value.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In SAML, Identity Providers (IdPs) can either be explicitly configured to
+release a `NameID` with a specific format, or configured to attempt to conform
+with the requirements of a Service Provider (SP). The SP declares its
+requirements in the `NameIDPolicy` element of a SAML Authentication Request.
+In {es}, the `nameid_format` SAML realm setting controls the `NameIDPolicy`
+value.
+
+Previously, the default value for `nameid_format` was
+`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient`. This setting created
+authentication requests that required the IdP to release `NameID` with a
+`transient` format.
+
+The default value has been removed, which means that {es} will create SAML Authentication Requests by default that don't put this requirement on the
+IdP. If you want to retain the previous behavior, set `nameid_format` to
+`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient`.
+
+*Impact* +
+If you currently don't configure `nameid_format` explicitly, it's possible
+that your IdP will reject authentication requests from {es} because the requests
+do not specify a `NameID` format (and your IdP is configured to expect one).
+This mismatch can result in a broken SAML configuration. If you're unsure whether
+your IdP is explicitly configured to use a certain `NameID` format and you want to retain current behavior
+, try setting `nameid_format` to `urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient` explicitly.
+====
+
+.The `xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled` setting is now required to configure `xpack.security.transport.ssl` settings.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+It is now an error to configure any SSL settings for
+`xpack.security.transport.ssl` without also configuring
+`xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled`.
+
+*Impact* +
+If using other `xpack.security.transport.ssl` settings, you must explicitly
+specify the `xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled` setting.
+
+If you do not want to enable SSL and are currently using other
+`xpack.security.transport.ssl` settings, do one of the following:
+
+* Explicitly specify `xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled` as `false`
+* Discontinue use of other `xpack.security.transport.ssl` settings
+
+If you want to enable SSL, follow the instructions in
+{ref}/configuring-tls.html#tls-transport[Encrypting communications between nodes
+in a cluster]. As part of this configuration, explicitly specify
+`xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled` as `true`.

+.PKCS#11 keystores and trustores cannot be configured in `elasticsearch.yml`
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The settings `*.ssl.keystore.type` and `*.ssl.truststore.type` no longer accept "PKCS11" as a valid type.
+This applies to all SSL settings in Elasticsearch, including

+- `xpack.security.http.truststore.type`
+- `xpack.security.transport.truststore.type`
+
+As well as SSL settings for security realms, watcher and monitoring.
+
+Use of a PKCS#11 keystore or truststore as the JRE's default store is not affected.
+
+*Impact* +
+If you have a PKCS#11 keystore configured within your `elasticsearch.yml` file, you must remove that
+configuration and switch to a supported keystore type, or configure your PKCS#11 keystore as the
+JRE default store.

+
+.The `kibana` user has been replaced by `kibana_system`.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `kibana` user was historically used to authenticate {kib} to {es}.
+The name of this user was confusing, and was often mistakenly used to login to {kib}.
+This has been renamed to `kibana_system` in order to reduce confusion, and to better
+align with other built-in system accounts.
+
+*Impact* +
+Replace any use of the `kibana` user with the `kibana_system` user. Specifying
+the `kibana` user in `kibana.yml` will result in an error on startup.
+
+If your `kibana.yml` used to contain:
+[source,yaml]
+--------------------------------------------------

+
+then you should update to use the new `kibana_system` user instead:
+[source,yaml]
+--------------------------------------------------
+elasticsearch.username: kibana_system
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+IMPORTANT: The new `kibana_system` user does not preserve the previous `kibana`
+user password. You must explicitly set a password for the `kibana_system` user.

+.The `search.remote.*` settings have been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In 6.5 these settings were deprecated in favor of `cluster.remote`. In 7.x we
+provided automatic upgrading of these settings to their `cluster.remote`
+counterparts. In 8.0.0, these settings have been removed. Elasticsearch will
+refuse to start if you have these settings in your configuration or cluster
+state.
+
+*Impact* +

+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+To ensure that all settings are in a proper namespace, the `pidfile` setting was
+previously deprecated in version 7.4.0 of Elasticsearch, and is removed in

+version 8.0.0. Instead, use `node.processors`.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the `node.processors` setting. Discontinue use of the `processors` setting.
+Specifying the `processors` setting in `elasticsearch.yml` will result in an

+====
+
+.The `node.processors` setting can no longer exceed the available number of processors.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Previously it was possible to set the number of processors used to set the
+default sizes for the thread pools to be more than the number of available
+processors. As this leads to more context switches and more threads but without
+an increase in the number of physical CPUs on which to schedule these additional
+threads, the `node.processors` setting is now bounded by the number of available
+processors.
+
+*Impact* +
+If specified, ensure the value of `node.processors` setting does not exceed the
+number of available processors. Setting the `node.processors` value greater than
+the number of available processors in `elasticsearch.yml` will result in an
+error on startup.
+====
+
+.The `cluster.remote.connect` setting has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In Elasticsearch 7.7.0, the setting `cluster.remote.connect` was deprecated in
+favor of setting `node.remote_cluster_client`. In Elasticsearch 8.0.0, the
+setting `cluster.remote.connect` is removed.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the `node.remote_cluster_client` setting. Discontinue use of the
+`cluster.remote.connect` setting. Specifying the `cluster.remote.connect`

+
+.The `node.local_storage` setting has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In Elasticsearch 7.8.0, the setting `node.local_storage` was deprecated and

+
+.The `auth.password` setting for HTTP monitoring has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In Elasticsearch 7.7.0, the setting `xpack.monitoring.exporters.<exporterName>.auth.password`
+was deprecated in favor of setting `xpack.monitoring.exporters.<exporterName>.auth.secure_password`.
+In Elasticsearch 8.0.0, the setting `xpack.monitoring.exporters.<exporterName>.auth.password` is
+removed.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the `xpack.monitoring.exporters.<exporterName>.auth.secure_password`

+
+.Settings used to disable basic license features have been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The following settings were deprecated in {es} 7.8.0 and have been removed

+may be set to false.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the removed settings. Specifying these settings in
+`elasticsearch.yml` will result in an error on startup.
+====
+
+.Settings used to defer cluster recovery pending a certain number of master nodes have been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The following cluster settings have been removed:
+
+* `gateway.expected_nodes`
+* `gateway.expected_master_nodes`
+* `gateway.recover_after_nodes`
+* `gateway.recover_after_master_nodes`
+
+It is safe to recover the cluster as soon as a majority of master-eligible
+nodes have joined so there is no benefit in waiting for any additional
+master-eligible nodes to start.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the removed settings. If needed, use
+`gateway.expected_data_nodes` or `gateway.recover_after_data_nodes` to defer
+cluster recovery pending a certain number of data nodes.
+====
+
+.Legacy role settings have been removed.
+[%collapsible]

+* `node.master`
+* `node.ml`
+* `node.remote_cluster_client`
+* `node.transform`
+* `node.voting_only`
+
+have been removed. Instead, use the `node.roles` setting. If you were previously
+using the legacy role settings on a 7.13 or later cluster, you will have a
+deprecation log message on each of your nodes indicating the exact replacement
+value for `node.roles`.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the removed settings. Specifying these settings in
+`elasticsearch.yml` will result in an error on startup.
+====
+
+[[system-call-filter-setting]]
+.The system call filter setting has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Elasticsearch uses system call filters to remove its ability to fork another
+process. This is useful to mitigate remote code exploits. These system call
+filters are enabled by default, and were previously controlled via the setting
+`bootstrap.system_call_filter`. Starting in Elasticsearch 8.0, system call
+filters will be required. As such, the setting `bootstrap.system_call_filter`
+was deprecated in Elasticsearch 7.13.0, and is removed as of Elasticsearch
+8.0.0.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the removed setting. Specifying this setting in Elasticsearch

+====
+
+[[tier-filter-setting]]
+.Tier filtering settings have been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The cluster and index level settings ending in `._tier` used for filtering the allocation of a shard
+to a particular set of nodes have been removed. Instead, the
+{ref}/data-tier-shard-filtering.html#tier-preference-allocation-filter[tier
+preference setting], `index.routing.allocation.include._tier_preference` should
+be used. The removed settings are:
+
+Cluster level settings:

+- `cluster.routing.allocation.include._tier`
+- `cluster.routing.allocation.exclude._tier`
+- `cluster.routing.allocation.require._tier`
+
+Index settings:

+- `index.routing.allocation.include._tier`
+- `index.routing.allocation.exclude._tier`
+- `index.routing.allocation.require._tier`
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the removed settings. Specifying any of these cluster settings in Elasticsearch

+settings archived (and they will have no effect) when the index metadata is loaded.
+====
+
+[[shared-data-path-setting]]
+.Shared data path and per index data path settings are deprecated.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Elasticsearch uses the shared data path as the base path of per index data
+paths. This feature was previously used with shared replicas. Starting in
+7.13.0, these settings are deprecated. Starting in 8.0 only existing
+indices created in 7.x will be capable of using the shared data path and
+per index data path settings.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the deprecated settings.
+====
+
+[[single-data-node-watermark-setting]]
+.The single data node watermark setting is deprecated and now only accepts `true`.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In 7.14, setting `cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.enable_for_single_data_node`
+to false was deprecated. Starting in 8.0, the only legal value will be
+true. In a future release, the setting will be removed completely, with same
+behavior as if the setting was `true`.
+
+If the old behavior is desired for a single data node cluster, disk based
+allocation can be disabled by setting
+`cluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold_enabled: false`
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the deprecated setting.
+====
+
+[[auto-import-dangling-indices-removed]]
+.The `gateway.auto_import_dangling_indices` setting has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `gateway.auto_import_dangling_indices` cluster setting has been removed.
+Previously, you could use this setting to automatically import
+{ref}/modules-gateway.html#dangling-indices[dangling indices]. However,
+automatically importing dangling indices is unsafe. Use the
+{ref}/indices.html#dangling-indices-api[dangling indices APIs] to manage and
+import dangling indices instead.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the removed setting. Specifying the setting in
+`elasticsearch.yml` will result in an error on startup.
+====
+
+.The `listener` thread pool has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Previously, the transport client used the thread pool to ensure listeners aren't
+called back on network threads. The transport client has been removed
+in 8.0, and the thread pool is no longer needed.
+
+*Impact* +
+Remove `listener` thread pool settings from `elasticsearch.yml` for any nodes.
+Specifying `listener` thread pool settings in `elasticsearch.yml` will result in
+an error on startup.
+====
+
+.The `fixed_auto_queue_size` thread pool type has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `fixed_auto_queue_size` thread pool type, previously marked as an
+experimental feature, was deprecated in 7.x and has been removed in 8.0.
+The `search` and `search_throttled` thread pools have the `fixed` type now.
+
+*Impact* +
+No action needed.
+====
+
+.Several `transport` settings have been replaced.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The following settings have been deprecated in 7.x and removed in 8.0. Each setting has a replacement
+setting that was introduced in 6.7.
+
+- `transport.tcp.port` replaced by `transport.port`
+- `transport.tcp.compress` replaced by `transport.compress`
+- `transport.tcp.connect_timeout` replaced by `transport.connect_timeout`

+====
+
+.Selective transport compression has been enabled by default.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Prior to 8.0, transport compression was disabled by default. Starting in 8.0,
+`transport.compress` defaults to `indexing_data`. This configuration means that
+the propagation of raw indexing data will be compressed between nodes.
+
+*Impact* +
+Inter-node transit will get reduced along the indexing path. In some scenarios,
+CPU usage could increase.
+====
+
+.Transport compression defaults to lz4.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Prior to 8.0, the `transport.compression_scheme` setting defaulted to `deflate`. Starting in
+8.0,  `transport.compress_scheme` defaults to `lz4`.
+
+Prior to 8.0, the `cluster.remote.<cluster_alias>.transport.compression_scheme`
+setting defaulted to `deflate` when `cluster.remote.<cluster_alias>.transport.compress`
+was explicitly configured. Starting in 8.0,
+`cluster.remote.<cluster_alias>.transport.compression_scheme` will fallback to
+`transport.compression_scheme` by default.
+
+*Impact* +
+This configuration means that transport compression will produce somewhat lower
+compression ratios in exchange for lower CPU load.

+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+If `xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled` is true (see <<fips-140-compliance>>),
+the value of `xpack.security.authc.password_hashing.algorithm` now defaults to
+`pbkdf2_stretch`.
+
+In earlier versions this setting would always default to `bcrypt` and a runtime

+a "pbkdf2" variant.
+
+There is no change for clusters that do not enable FIPS 140 mode.
+
+*Impact* +
+This change should not have any impact on upgraded nodes.
+Any node with an explicitly configured value for the password hashing algorithm
+will continue to use that configured value.

+longer optional, and this system property must now not be set.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `es.disk.auto_release_flood_stage_block` system property.

+.`es.rest.url_plus_as_space` has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Starting in version 7.4, a `+` in a URL will be encoded as `%2B` by all REST API functionality. Prior versions handled a `+` as a single space.
+In these previous versions, if your application required handling `+` as a single space, you could return to the old behaviour by setting the system property
+`es.rest.url_plus_as_space` to `true`. Note that this behaviour is deprecated and setting this system property to `true` will cease
+to be supported in version 8.
+
+*Impact* +
+Update your application or workflow to assume `+` in a URL is encoded as `%2B`.
+====
+
+.`es.unsafely_permit_handshake_from_incompatible_builds` has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+{es} has a check that verifies that communicating pairs of nodes of the same
+version are running exactly the same build and therefore using the same wire
+format as each other. In previous versions this check can be bypassed by
+setting the system property
+`es.unsafely_permit_handshake_from_incompatible_builds` to `true`. The use of
+this system property is now forbidden.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `es.unsafely_permit_handshake_from_incompatible_builds`
+system property, and ensure that all nodes of the same version are running
+exactly the same build. Setting this system property will result in an error
+on startup.

+.Indices created in {es} 6.x and earlier versions are not supported.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Elasticsearch 8.0 can read indices created in version 7.0 or above. An
+Elasticsearch 8.0 node will not start in the presence of indices created in a
+version of Elasticsearch before 7.0.
+

+*Details* +
+Previously, it was possible to define a multi-field within a multi-field.
+Defining chained multi-fields was deprecated in 7.3 and is now no longer
+supported.
+
+*Impact* +
+To migrate mappings, all instances of `fields` that occur within
+a `fields` block should be removed, either by flattening the chained `fields`
+blocks into a single level, or by switching to `copy_to` if appropriate.

+*Details* +
+The setting has been deprecated with 7.5 and is no longer supported on new indices.
+Mappings for older indices will continue to work but emit a deprecation warning.
+
+*Impact* +
+The `enabled` setting for `_field_names` should be removed from templates and mappings.
+Disabling _field_names is not necessary because it no longer carries a large index overhead.
+====
+
+[[mapping-boosts]]
+.The `boost` parameter on field mappings has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Index-time boosts have been deprecated since the 5x line, but it was still possible
+to declare field-specific boosts in the mappings. This is now removed completely.
+Indexes built in 7x that contain mapping boosts will emit warnings, and the boosts
+will have no effect in 8.0. New indexes will not permit boosts to be set in their
+mappings at all.
+
+*Impact* +
+The `boost` setting should be removed from templates and mappings. Use boosts
+directly on queries instead.
+====
+
+.Java-time date formats replace joda-time formats.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In 7.0, {es} switched from joda time to java time for date-related parsing,

+already required to use mappings with java-time date formats. However,
+earlier indices using joda-time formats must be reindexed to use

+* `tree`
+* `tree_levels`
+* `strategy`
+* `distance_error_pct`
+
+These parameters have been removed in 8.0.0.
+

+.The layout of the data folder has changed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Each node's data is now stored directly in the data directory set by the
+`path.data` setting, rather than in `${path.data}/nodes/0`, because the removal
+of the `node.max_local_storage_nodes` setting means that nodes may no longer
+share a data path.
+
+*Impact* +
+At startup, {es} will automatically migrate the data path to the new layout.
+This automatic migration will not proceed if the data path contains data for
+more than one node. You should move to a configuration in which each node has
+its own data path before upgrading.
+
+If you try to upgrade a configuration in which there is data for more than one
+node in a data path then the automatic migration will fail and {es}
+will refuse to start. To resolve this you will need to perform the migration
+manually. The data for the extra nodes are stored in folders named
+`${path.data}/nodes/1`, `${path.data}/nodes/2` and so on, and you should move
+each of these folders to an appropriate location and then configure the
+corresponding node to use this location for its data path. If your nodes each
+have more than one data path in their `path.data` settings then you should move
+all the corresponding subfolders in parallel. Each node uses the same subfolder
+(e.g. `nodes/2`) across all its data paths.

+
+.The default Maxmind geoip databases have been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The default Maxmind geoip databases that shipped by default with Elasticsearch
+have been removed. These databases are out dated and stale and using these
+databases will likely result in incorrect geoip lookups.
+
+By default since 7.13, these pre-packaged geoip databases
+were used in case no database were specified in the config directory or before
+the geoip downloader downloaded the geoip databases. When the geoip database
+downloader completed downloading the new databases then these pre-packaged
+databases were no longer used.
+
+*Impact* +
+If the geoip downloader is disabled and no geoip databases are provided
+in the config directory of each ingest node then the geoip processor will
+no longer perform geoip lookups and tag these documents with the fact that
+the requested database is no longer available.
+
+After a cluster has been started and before the geoip downloader has completed
+downloading the most up to data databases, the geoip processor will not perform
+any geoip lookups and tag documents that the requested database is not available.
+After the geoip downloader has completed downloading the most up to data databases
+then the geoip processor will function as normal. The window of time that the
+geoip processor can't do geoip lookups after cluster startup should be very small.

+could combine `types` with the `indexing` query parameter to return indexing
+stats for specific mapping types. Mapping types have been removed in 8.0.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `types` query parameter. Requests that include the
+parameter will return an error.
+====
+
+.The `user_agent` ingest processor's `ecs` parameter has no effect.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In 7.2, we deprecated the `ecs` parameter for the `user_agent` ingest processor.
+In 8.x, the `user_agent` ingest processor will only return {ecs-ref}[Elastic
+Common Schema (ECS)] fields, regardless of the `ecs` value.
+
+*Impact* +
+To avoid deprecation warnings, remove the parameter from your ingest pipelines.
+If a pipeline specifies an `ecs` value, the value is ignored.
+====
+
+.Mapping API endpoints containing mapping types have been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The typed REST endpoints of the update mapping, get mapping and get field mapping
+APIs have been removed in favour of their typeless REST endpoints, since indexes
+no longer contain types, these typed endpoints are obsolete.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the typeless REST endpoints to update and retrieve mappings. Requests
+submitted to the typed mapping API endpoints will return an error.
+====
+
+.The `include_type_name` query parameter has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `include_type_name` query parameter has been removed from the index
+creation, index template, and mapping APIs. Previously, you could set
+`include_type_name` to `true` to indicate that requests and responses should
+include a mapping type name. Mapping types have been removed in 8.x.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `include_type_name` query parameter. Requests that
+include the parameter will return an error.
+====
+
+.Reindex from remote now re-encodes URL-encoded index names.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Reindex from remote would previously allow URL-encoded index names and not
+re-encode them when generating the search request for the remote host. This
+leniency has been removed such that all index names are correctly encoded when
+reindex generates remote search requests.
+
+*Impact* +
+Specify unencoded index names for reindex from remote requests.
+====
+
+.Reindex-related REST API endpoints containing mapping types have been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `/{index}/{type}/_delete_by_query` and `/{index}/{type}/_update_by_query` REST endpoints have been removed in favour of `/{index}/_delete_by_query` and `/{index}/_update_by_query`, since indexes no longer contain types, these typed endpoints are obsolete.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the replacement REST API endpoints. Requests submitted to API endpoints
+that contain a mapping type will return an error.
+====
+
+.In the reindex, delete by query, and update by query APIs, the `size` parameter has been renamed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Previously, a `_reindex` request had two different size specifications in the body:
+
+- Outer level, determining the maximum number of documents to process
+- Inside the `source` element, determining the scroll/batch size.
+
+The outer level `size` parameter has now been renamed to `max_docs` to
+avoid confusion and clarify its semantics.
+
+Similarly, the `size` parameter has been renamed to `max_docs` for
+`_delete_by_query` and `_update_by_query` to keep the 3 interfaces consistent.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the replacement parameters. Requests containing the `size` parameter will
+return an error.
+====
+
+.The update by query API now rejects unsupported `script` fields.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+An update by query API request that includes an unsupported field in the
+`script` object now returns an error. Previously, the API would silently ignore
+these unsupported fields.
+
+*Impact* +
+To avoid errors, remove unsupported fields from the `script` object.
+====
+
+.The cat node API's `local` query parameter has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `?local` parameter to the `GET _cat/nodes` API was deprecated in 7.x and is
+rejected in 8.0. This parameter caused the API to use the local cluster state
+to determine the nodes returned by the API rather than the cluster state from
+the master, but this API requests information from each selected node
+regardless of the `?local` parameter which means this API does not run in a
+fully node-local fashion.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `?local` query parameter. {ref}/cat-nodes.html[cat node
+API] requests that include this parameter will return an error.

+.The get field mapping API's `local` query parameter has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `local` parameter for get field mapping API was deprecated in 7.8 and is
+removed in 8.0. This parameter is a no-op and field mappings are always retrieved
+locally.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `local` query parameter.
+{ref}/indices-get-field-mapping.html[get field mapping API] requests that

+
+.Post data to jobs API is deprecated.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The {ml} {ref}/ml-post-data.html[post data to jobs API] is deprecated starting in 7.11.0
+and will be removed in a future major version.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use {ref}/ml-apis.html#ml-api-datafeed-endpoint[{dfeeds}] instead.
+====
+
+.The `job_id` property of the Update {dfeeds} API has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The ability to update a `job_id` in a {dfeed} was deprecated in 7.3.0. and is
+removed in 8.0.
+
+*Impact* +
+It is not possible to move {dfeeds} between {anomaly-jobs}.
+====
+
+.Create repository and delete repository API's return `409` status code when a repository is in use instead of `500`.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The {ref}/put-snapshot-repo-api.html[Create or update snapshot repository API] and
+{ref}/delete-snapshot-repo-api.html[Delete snapshot repository API] return `409`
+status code when the request is attempting to modify an existing repository that's in use instead of status code `500`.
+
+*Impact* +
+Update client code that handles creation and deletion of repositories to reflect this change.
+====
+
+.The `allow_no_datafeeds` property has been removed from {ml} APIs.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `allow_no_datafeeds` property was deprecated in the
+{ref}/cat-datafeeds.html[cat {dfeeds}],

+
+*Impact* +
+Use `allow_no_match` instead.
+====
+
+.The `allow_no_jobs` property has been removed from {ml} APIs.
+[%collapsible]

+
+*Impact* +
+Use `allow_no_match` instead.
+====
+
+.The StartRollupJob endpoint now returns a success status if a job has already started.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Previously, attempting to start an already-started rollup job would
+result in a `500 InternalServerError: Cannot start task for Rollup Job
+[job] because state was [STARTED]` exception.
+
+Now, attempting to start a job that is already started will just
+return a successful `200 OK: started` response.
+
+*Impact* +
+Update your workflow and applications to assume that a 200 status in response to
+attempting to start a rollup job means the job is in an actively started state.
+The request itself may have started the job, or it was previously running and so
+the request had no effect.
+====
+
+.Stored scripts no longer support empty scripts or search templates.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The {ref}/create-stored-script-api.html[create or update stored script API]'s
+`source` parameter cannot be empty.
+
+*Impact* +
+Before upgrading, use the {ref}/delete-stored-script-api.html[delete stored
+script API] to delete any empty stored scripts or search templates.
+In 8.0, {es} will drop any empty stored scripts or empty search templates from
+the cluster state. Requests to create a stored script or search template with
+an empty `source` will return an error.
+====
+
+.The create or update stored script API's `code` parameter has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The {ref}/create-stored-script-api.html[create or update stored script API]'s
+`code` parameter has been removed. Use the `source` parameter instead.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `code` parameter. Requests that include the parameter
+will return an error.
+====
+
+[[_type-search-matches-no-docs]]
+.Searches on the `_type` field are no longer supported.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In 8.x, the `_type` metadata field has been removed. {es} now handles a search
+on the `_type` field as a search on a non-existent field. A search on a
+non-existent field matches no documents, regardless of the query string.
+
+In 7.x, a search for `_doc` in the `_type` field would match the same documents
+as a `match_all` query.
+
+*Impact* +
+Remove queries on the `_type` field from your search requests and search
+templates. Searches that include these queries may return no results.
+====
+
+[[msearch-empty-line-support]]
+.The multi search API now parses an empty first line as action metadata in text files.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The multi search API now parses an empty first line as empty action metadata
+when you provide a text file as the request body, such as when using curl's
+`--data-binary` flag.
+
+The API no longer supports text files that contain:
+
+* An empty first line followed by a line containing only `{}`.
+* An empty first line followed by another empty line.
+
+*Impact* +
+Don't provide an unsupported text file to the multi search API. Requests that
+include an unsupported file will return an error.
+====
+
+[[remove-unmapped-type-string]]
+.The `unmapped_type: string` sort option has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Search requests no longer support the `unmapped_type: string` sort option.
+Instead, use `unmapped_type: keyword` to handle an unmapped field as if it had
+the `keyword` field type but ignore its values for sorting.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of `unmapped_type: string`. Search requests that include the
+`unmapped_type: string` sort option will return shard failures.
+====
+
+[[id-field-data]]
+.Aggregating and sorting on `_id` is disallowed by default.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Previously, it was possible to aggregate and sort on the built-in `_id` field
+by loading an expensive data structure called fielddata. This was deprecated
+in 7.6 and is now disallowed by default in 8.0.
+
+*Impact* +
+Aggregating and sorting on `_id` should be avoided. As an alternative, the
+`_id` field's contents can be duplicated into another field with docvalues
+enabled (note that this does not apply to auto-generated IDs).
+====
+
+.Search-related REST API endpoints containing mapping types have been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `/{index}/{type}/_search`, `/{index}/{type}/_msearch`, `/{index}/{type}/_search/template` and `/{index}/{type}/_msearch/template` REST endpoints have been removed in favour of `/{index}/_search`, `/{index}/_msearch`, `/{index}/_search/template` and `/{index}/_msearch/template`; since indexes no longer contain types, these typed endpoints are obsolete..
+
+The `/{index}/{type}/_termvectors`, `/{index}/{type}/{id}/_termvectors` and `/{index}/{type}/_mtermvectors` REST endpoints have been removed in favour of `/{index}/_termvectors`, `/{index}/{id}/_termvectors` and `/{index}/_mtermvectors`; since indexes no longer contain types, these typed endpoints are obsolete..
+
+The `/{index}/{type}/{doc}` and `/{index}/{type}/_mget` REST endpoints have been removed in favour of `/{index}/_doc/{doc}` and `/{index}/_mget`; since indexes no longer contain types, these typed endpoints are obsolete.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the replacement REST API endpoints. Requests submitted to API endpoints that
+contain a mapping type will return an error.
+====
+
+.The `common` query has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `common` query, deprecated in 7.x, has been removed in 8.0.
+The same functionality can be achieved by the `match` query if the total number of hits is not tracked.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `common` query. Search requests containing a `common`
+query will return an error.
+====
+
+.The `cutoff_frequency` parameter has been removed from the `match` and `multi_match` query.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `cutoff_frequency` parameter, deprecated in 7.x, has been removed in 8.0 from `match` and `multi_match` queries.
+The same functionality can be achieved without any configuration provided that the total number of hits is not tracked.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `cutoff_frequency` parameter. Search requests containing
+this parameter in a `match` or `multi_match` query will return an error.
+====
+
+.The `nested_filter` and `nested_path` properties have been removed from the search API's `sort` request body parameter.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `nested_filter` and `nested_path` options, deprecated in 6.x, have been removed in favor of the `nested` context.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `sort` request body parameter's `nested_filter` and
+`nested_path` properties. Requests containing these properties will return an
+error.
+====
+
+.Search and get requests are now routed to shards using adaptive replica selection by default.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+{es} will no longer prefer using shards in the same location (with the same awareness attribute values) to process
+`_search` and `_get` requests. Adaptive replica selection (activated by default in this version) will route requests
+more efficiently using the service time of prior inter-node communications.
+
+*Impact* +
+No action needed.
+====
+
+.Vector functions using `(query, doc['field'])` are no longer supported.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The vector functions of the form `function(query, doc['field'])` were
+deprecated in 7.6, and are now removed in 8.x. The form
+`function(query, 'field')` should be used instead. For example,
+`cosineSimilarity(query, doc['field'])` is replaced by
+`cosineSimilarity(query, 'field')`.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the `function(query, 'field')` form. Discontinue use of the `function(query,
+doc['field'])` form. Requests containing the `function(query,
+doc['field'])` form will return an error.
+====
+
+.The search API's `indices_boost` request body parameter no longer accepts object values.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `indices_boost` option in the search request used to accept the boosts
+both as an object and as an array. The object format has been deprecated since
+5.2 and is now removed in 8.0.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use only array values in the `indices_boost` parameter. Requests containing an
+object value in the `indices_boost` parameter will return an error.
+====
+
+.The search API's `use_field_mapping` request body parameter has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In 7.0, we began formatting `docvalue_fields` by default using each field's
+mapping definition. To ease the transition from 6.x, we added the format
+option `use_field_mapping`. This parameter was deprecated in 7.0, and is now
+removed in 8.0.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `use_field_mapping` request body parameter. Requests
+containing this parameter will return an error.
+====
+
+.The search API's `from` request body and url parameter cannot be negative.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Search request used to accept `-1` as a `from` in the search body and the url,
+treating it as the default value of 0. Other negative values got rejected with
+an error already. We now also reject `-1` as an invalid value.
+
+*Impact* +
+Change any use of `-1` as `from` parameter in request body or url parameters by either
+setting it to `0` or omitting it entirely. Requests containing negative values will
+return an error.
+====
+
+.Range queries on date fields treat numeric values alwas as milliseconds-since-epoch.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Range queries on date fields used to misinterpret small numbers (e.g. four digits like 1000)
+as a year when no additional format was set, but would interpret other numeric values as
+milliseconds since epoch. We now treat all numeric values in absence of a specific `format`
+parameter as milliseconds since epoch. If you want to query for years instead, with a missing
+`format` you now need to quote the input value (e.g. "1984").
+
+*Impact* +
+If you query date fields without a specified `format`, check if the values in your queries are
+actually meant to be milliseconds-since-epoch and use a numeric value in this case. If not, use
+a string value which gets parsed by either the date format set on the field in the mappings or
+by `strict_date_optional_time` by default.
+====
+
+.The `geo_bounding_box` query's `type` parameter has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `geo_bounding_box` query's `type` parameter was deprecated in 7.14.0 and has
+been removed in 8.0.0. This parameter is a no-op and has no effect on the query.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `type` parameter. `geo_bounding_box` queries that include
+this parameter will return an error.
+====
+
+.The `type` query has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `type` query has been removed. Mapping types have been removed in 8.0.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `type` query. Requests that include the `type` query
+will return an error.
+====
+
+.The `kibana_user` role has been renamed `kibana_admin`.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Users who were previously assigned the `kibana_user` role should instead be assigned
+the `kibana_admin` role. This role grants the same set of privileges as `kibana_user`, but has been
+renamed to better reflect its intended use.
+
+*Impact* +
+Assign users with the `kibana_user` role to the `kibana_admin` role.
+Discontinue use of the `kibana_user` role.
+====
+
+.The `repositories.fs.compress` node-level setting has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+For shared file system repositories (`"type": "fs"`), the node level setting `repositories.fs.compress` could
+previously be used to enable compression for all shared file system repositories where `compress` was not specified.
+The `repositories.fs.compress` setting has been removed.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the repository specific `compress` setting to enable compression. See
+{ref}/snapshots-register-repository.html[Register a snapshot repository] for
+information on the `compress` setting.
+
+Discontinue use of the `repositories.fs.compress` node-level setting.
+====
+
+.Snapshots compress metadata files by default.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Previously, the default value for `compress` was `false`. The default has been changed to `true`.
+
+This change will affect both newly created repositories and existing repositories where `compress=false` has not been
+explicitly specified.
+
+For more information on the compress option, see
+{ref}/snapshots-register-repository.html[Register a snapshot repository].
+
+*Impact* +
+Update your workflow and applications to assume a default value of `true` for
+the `compress` parameter.
+====
+
+.The S3 repository plugin now uses a DNS-style access pattern by default.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Starting in version 7.4 the `repository-s3` plugin does not use the
+now-deprecated path-style access pattern by default. In versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
+and 7.3 the `repository-s3` plugin always used the path-style access pattern.
+This is a breaking change for deployments that only support path-style access
+but which are recognized as supporting DNS-style access by the AWS SDK. This
+breaking change was made necessary by
+https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-s3-path-deprecation-plan-the-rest-of-the-story/[AWS's
+announcement] that the path-style access pattern is deprecated and will be
+unsupported on buckets created after September 30th 2020.
+
+*Impact* +
+If your deployment only supports path-style access and is affected by this
+change then you must configure the S3 client setting `path_style_access` to
+`true`.
+====
+
+.Restore requests no longer accept settings.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In earlier versions, you could pass both `settings` and `index_settings` in the
+body of a restore snapshot request, but the `settings` value was ignored. The
+restore snapshot API now rejects requests that include a `settings` value.
+
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `settings` parameter in restore
+snapshot request. Requests that include these parameters will return an error.
+====
+
+.The repository stats API has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The repository stats API has been removed. We deprecated this experimental API
+in 7.10.0. 
+
+*Impact* +
+Use the {ref}/repositories-metering-apis.html[repositories metering APIs]
+instead.
+====
+
+.Watcher history now writes to a hidden data stream.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In 8.x, {es} writes Watcher history to a hidden
+`.watcher-history-<index-template-version>` data stream. Previously, {es} wrote
+Watcher history to hidden
+`.watcher-history-<index-template-version>-<yyyy-MM-dd>` indices.
+
+*Impact* +
+Update your requests to target the Watcher history data stream. For example, use
+the `.watcher-history-*` wildcard expression. Requests that specifically target
+non-existent Watcher history indices may return an error.
+====
+
+.HTTP Status code has changed for the Cluster Health API in case of a server timeout.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The {ref}/cluster-health.html[cluster health API] includes options for waiting
+for certain health conditions to be satisfied. If the requested conditions are
+not satisfied within a timeout then {es} will send back a normal response
+including the field `"timed_out": true`. In earlier versions it would also use
+the HTTP response code `408 Request timeout` if the request timed out, and `200
+OK` otherwise. The `408 Request timeout` response code is not appropriate for
+this situation, so from version 8.0.0 {es} will use the response code `200 OK`
+for both cases.
+
+*Impact* +
+To detect a server timeout, check the `timed_out` field of the JSON response.

+.Java 17 is required.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+Java 17 or higher is now required to run {es} and any of its command
+line tools.
+
+*Impact* +
+Use Java 17 or higher. Attempts to run {es} 8.0 using earlier Java versions will
+fail.
+
+There is not yet a FIPS-certified security module for Java 17 
+that you can use when running {es} 8.0 in FIPS 140-2 mode. 
+If you run in FIPS 140-2 mode, you will either need to request an exception

-====
-*Details* +
-The default Maxmind geoip databases that shipped by default with Elasticsearch
-have been removed. These databases are out dated and stale and using these
-databases will likely result in incorrect geoip lookups.
-
-By default since 7.13, these pre-packaged geoip databases

-downloader completed downloading the new databases then these pre-packaged

-If the geoip downloader is disabled and no geoip databases are provided
-in the config directory of each ingest node then the geoip processor will
-no longer perform geoip lookups and tag these documents with the fact that
-the requested database is no longer available.
-
-After a cluster has been started and before the geoip downloader has completed
-downloading the most up to data databases, the geoip processor will not perform
-any geoip lookups and tag documents that the requested database is not available.
-After the geoip downloader has completed downloading the most up to data databases
-then the geoip processor will function as normal. The window of time that the
-geoip processor can't do geoip lookups after cluster startup should be very small.

-.Changes to `Fuzziness`.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-To create `Fuzziness` instances, use the `fromString` and `fromEdits` method
-instead of the `build` method that used to accept both Strings and numeric
-values. Several fuzziness setters on query builders (e.g.
-MatchQueryBuilder#fuzziness) now accept only a `Fuzziness`instance instead of
-an Object.
-
-Fuzziness used to be lenient when it comes to parsing arbitrary numeric values
-while silently truncating them to one of the three allowed edit distances 0, 1
-or 2. This leniency is now removed and the class will throw errors when trying
-to construct an instance with another value (e.g. floats like 1.3 used to get
-accepted but truncated to 1).
-

-*Details* +
-Each node's data is now stored directly in the data directory set by the

-
-*Impact* +
-At startup, {es} will automatically migrate the data path to the new layout.

-its own data path before upgrading.
-
-If you try to upgrade a configuration in which there is data for more than one
-node in a data path then the automatic migration will fail and {es}
-will refuse to start. To resolve this you will need to perform the migration
-manually. The data for the extra nodes are stored in folders named
-`${path.data}/nodes/1`, `${path.data}/nodes/2` and so on, and you should move
-each of these folders to an appropriate location and then configure the
-corresponding node to use this location for its data path. If your nodes each

-.The `JodaCompatibleZonedDateTime` class has been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-As a transition from Joda datetime to Java datetime, scripting used
-an intermediate class called `JodaCompatibleZonedDateTime`. This class
-has been removed and is replaced by `ZonedDateTime`. Any use of casting
-to a `JodaCompatibleZonedDateTime` or use of method calls only available
-in `JodaCompatibleZonedDateTime` in a script will result in a compilation
-error, and may not allow the upgraded node to start.
-
-*Impact* +
-Before upgrading, replace `getDayOfWeek` with `getDayOfWeekEnum().value` in any
-scripts. Any use of `getDayOfWeek` expecting a return value of `int` will result
-in a compilation error or runtime error and may not allow the upgraded node to
-start.
-
-The following `JodaCompatibleZonedDateTime` methods must be replaced using
-`ZonedDateTime` methods prior to upgrade:
-
-* `getMillis()` -> `toInstant().toEpochMilli()`
-* `getCenturyOfEra()` -> `get(ChronoField.YEAR_OF_ERA) / 100`
-* `getEra()` -> `get(ChronoField.ERA)`
-* `getHourOfDay()` -> `getHour()`
-* `getMillisOfDay()` -> `get(ChronoField.MILLI_OF_DAY)`
-* `getMillisOfSecond()` -> `get(ChronoField.MILLI_OF_SECOND)`
-* `getMinuteOfDay()` -> `get(ChronoField.MINUTE_OF_DAY)`

-* `getMonthOfYear()` -> `getMonthValue()`
-* `getSecondOfDay()` -> `get(ChronoField.SECOND_OF_DAY)`
-* `getSecondOfMinute()` -> `getSecond()`
-* `getWeekOfWeekyear()` -> `get(DateFormatters.WEEK_FIELDS_ROOT.weekBasedYear())`
-* `getYearOfCentury()` -> `get(ChronoField.YEAR_OF_ERA) % 100`

-[[_type-search-matches-no-docs]]
-.Searches on the `_type` field are no longer supported.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-In 8.x, the `_type` metadata field has been removed. {es} now handles a search
-on the `_type` field as a search on a non-existent field. A search on a
-non-existent field matches no documents, regardless of the query string.
-
-In 7.x, a search for `_doc` in the `_type` field would match the same documents
-as a `match_all` query.

-The multi search API now parses an empty first line as empty action metadata
-when you provide a text file as the request body, such as when using curl's
-`--data-binary` flag.
-
-The API no longer supports text files that contain:
-
-* An empty first line followed by a line containing only `{}`.

-.The `unmapped_type: string` sort option has been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Search requests no longer support the `unmapped_type: string` sort option.
-Instead, use `unmapped_type: keyword` to handle an unmapped field as if it had
-the `keyword` field type but ignore its values for sorting.
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of `unmapped_type: string`. Search requests that include the
-`unmapped_type: string` sort option will return shard failures.

-[[id-field-data]]
-.Aggregating and sorting on `_id` is disallowed by default.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Previously, it was possible to aggregate and sort on the built-in `_id` field
-by loading an expensive data structure called fielddata. This was deprecated
-in 7.6 and is now disallowed by default in 8.0.
-
-*Impact* +
-Aggregating and sorting on `_id` should be avoided. As an alternative, the
-`_id` field's contents can be duplicated into another field with docvalues
-enabled (note that this does not apply to auto-generated IDs).

-
-[[max_clause_count_change]]
-.The `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` setting now limits all query clauses.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Previously, the `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` would apply to the number
-of clauses of a single `bool` query. It now applies to the total number of
-clauses of the rewritten query. In order to reduce chances of breaks, its
-default value has been bumped from 1024 to 4096.
-
-*Impact* +
-Queries with many clauses should be avoided whenever possible. If you had bumped

-The `/{index}/{type}/_search`, `/{index}/{type}/_msearch`, `/{index}/{type}/_search/template` and `/{index}/{type}/_msearch/template` REST endpoints have been removed in favour of `/{index}/_search`, `/{index}/_msearch`, `/{index}/_search/template` and `/{index}/_msearch/template`; since indexes no longer contain types, these typed endpoints are obsolete..
-
-The `/{index}/{type}/_termvectors`, `/{index}/{type}/{id}/_termvectors` and `/{index}/{type}/_mtermvectors` REST endpoints have been removed in favour of `/{index}/_termvectors`, `/{index}/{id}/_termvectors` and `/{index}/_mtermvectors`; since indexes no longer contain types, these typed endpoints are obsolete..

-.The `cutoff_frequency` parameter has been removed from the `match` and `multi_match` query.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The `cutoff_frequency` parameter, deprecated in 7.x, has been removed in 8.0 from `match` and `multi_match` queries.
-The same functionality can be achieved without any configuration provided that the total number of hits is not tracked.
-

-Discontinue use of the `cutoff_frequency` parameter. Search requests containing
-this parameter in a `match` or `multi_match` query will return an error.
-====
-
-.The `nested_filter` and `nested_path` properties have been removed from the search API's `sort` request body parameter.
-[%collapsible]

-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The vector functions of the form `function(query, doc['field'])` were
-deprecated in 7.6, and are now removed in 8.x. The form
-`function(query, 'field')` should be used instead. For example,
-`cosineSimilarity(query, doc['field'])` is replaced by
-`cosineSimilarity(query, 'field')`.
-
-*Impact* +
-Use the `function(query, 'field')` form. Discontinue use of the `function(query,
-doc['field'])` form. Requests containing the `function(query,
-doc['field'])` form will return an error.
-====
-
-.The search API's `indices_boost` request body parameter no longer accepts object values.
-[%collapsible]

-*Details* +
-The `indices_boost` option in the search request used to accept the boosts
-both as an object and as an array. The object format has been deprecated since
-5.2 and is now removed in 8.0.
-
-*Impact* +
-Use only array values in the `indices_boost` parameter. Requests containing an
-object value in the `indices_boost` parameter will return an error.
-====
-
-.The search API's `use_field_mapping` request body parameter has been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-In 7.0, we began formatting `docvalue_fields` by default using each field's
-mapping definition. To ease the transition from 6.x, we added the format
-option `use_field_mapping`. This parameter was deprecated in 7.0, and is now
-removed in 8.0.
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the `use_field_mapping` request body parameter. Requests
-containing this parameter will return an error.
-====
-
-
-.The search API's `from` request body and url parameter cannot be negative.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Search request used to accept `-1` as a `from` in the search body and the url,
-treating it as the default value of 0. Other negative values got rejected with
-an error already. We now also reject `-1` as an invalid value.
-
-*Impact* +
-Change any use of `-1` as `from` parameter in request body or url parameters by either
-setting it to `0` or omitting it entirely. Requests containing negative values will
-return an error.
-====
-
-.Range queries on date fields treat numeric values alwas as milliseconds-since-epoch.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Range queries on date fields used to misinterpret small numbers (e.g. four digits like 1000)
-as a year when no additional format was set, but would interpret other numeric values as
-milliseconds since epoch. We now treat all numeric values in absence of a specific `format`
-parameter as milliseconds since epoch. If you want to query for years instead, with a missing
-`format` you now need to quote the input value (e.g. "1984").
-
-*Impact* +
-If you query date fields without a specified `format`, check if the values in your queries are
-actually meant to be milliseconds-since-epoch and use a numeric value in this case. If not, use
-a string value which gets parsed by either the date format set on the field in the mappings or
-by `strict_date_optional_time` by default.
-====
-
-.The `geo_bounding_box` query's `type` parameter has been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The `geo_bounding_box` query's `type` parameter was deprecated in 7.14.0 and has
-been removed in 8.0.0. This parameter is a no-op and has no effect on the query.
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the `type` parameter. `geo_bounding_box` queries that include
-this parameter will return an error.
-====
-
-.The `type` query has been removed.

-[[deprecate-elasticsearch-setup-passwords]]
-.The `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool is deprecated.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-In 8.0, we're deprecating the `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool. To
-manually reset the password for built-in users (including the `elastic` user), use
-the {ref}/reset-password.html[`elasticsearch-reset-password`] tool, the {es}
-{ref}/security-api-change-password.html[change passwords API], or the
-User Management features in {kib}. We will remove the
-`elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool in a future release.
-
-*Impact* +
-When starting {es} for the first time, passwords are generated automatically for
-the `elastic` user. If you run the `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool after
-starting {es}, the command will fail  because the password for the `elastic`
-user is already configured.

-.The file and native realms are now enabled unless explicitly disabled.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The file and native realms are now enabled unless explicitly disabled. If
-explicitly disabled, the file and native realms remain disabled at all times.
-
-Previously, the file and native realms had the following implicit behaviors:
-
-* If the file and native realms were not configured, they were implicitly disabled
-if any other realm was configured.
-
-* If no other realm was available because realms were either not configured,
-not permitted by license, or explicitly disabled, the file and native realms
-were enabled, even if explicitly disabled.
-
-*Impact* +
-To explicitly disable the file or native realm, set the respective
-`file.<realm-name>.enabled` or `native.<realm-name>.enabled` setting to `false`
-under the `xpack.security.authc.realms` namespace in `elasticsearch.yml`.
-
-The following configuration example disables the native realm and the file realm.
-

-In addition to the existing daily rollover, the security audit logs are
-now rolled-over by disk size limit as well. Moreover, the rolled-over logs
-are also gzip compressed.
-
-*Impact* +
-The names of rolled over audit log files (but not the name of the current log)
-have changed.
-If you've set up automated tools to consume these files, you must configure them

-====
-*Details* +
-The `elasticsearch-migrate` tool provided a way to convert file
-realm users and roles into the native realm. It has been deprecated

-[[saml-realm-nameid-changes]]
-.The `nameid_format` SAML realm setting no longer has a default value.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-In SAML, Identity Providers (IdPs) can either be explicitly configured to
-release a `NameID` with a specific format, or configured to attempt to conform
-with the requirements of a Service Provider (SP). The SP declares its
-requirements in the `NameIDPolicy` element of a SAML Authentication Request.
-In {es}, the `nameid_format` SAML realm setting controls the `NameIDPolicy`
-value.
-
-Previously, the default value for `nameid_format` was
-`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient`. This setting created
-authentication requests that required the IdP to release `NameID` with a
-`transient` format.
-
-The default value has been removed, which means that {es} will create SAML Authentication Requests by default that don't put this requirement on the
-IdP. If you want to retain the previous behavior, set `nameid_format` to
-`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient`.
-
-*Impact* +
-If you currently don't configure `nameid_format` explicitly, it's possible
-that your IdP will reject authentication requests from {es} because the requests
-do not specify a `NameID` format (and your IdP is configured to expect one).
-This mismatch can result in a broken SAML configuration. If you're unsure whether
-your IdP is explicitly configured to use a certain `NameID` format and you want to retain current behavior
-, try setting `nameid_format` to `urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient` explicitly.

-
-.PKCS#11 keystores and trustores cannot be configured in `elasticsearch.yml`
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The settings `*.ssl.keystore.type` and `*.ssl.truststore.type` no longer accept "PKCS11" as a valid type.
-This applies to all SSL settings in Elasticsearch, including
-
-- `xpack.security.http.keystore.type`
-- `xpack.security.transport.keystore.type`
-- `xpack.security.http.truststore.type`
-- `xpack.security.transport.truststore.type`

-As well as SSL settings for security realms, watcher and monitoring.
-
-Use of a PKCS#11 keystore or truststore as the JRE's default store is not affected.
-
-*Impact* +
-If you have a PKCS#11 keystore configured within your `elasticsearch.yml` file, you must remove that
-configuration and switch to a supported keystore type, or configure your PKCS#11 keystore as the
-JRE default store.

-[[builtin-users-changes]]
-===== Changes to built-in users
-
-.The `kibana` user has been replaced by `kibana_system`.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The `kibana` user was historically used to authenticate {kib} to {es}.
-The name of this user was confusing, and was often mistakenly used to login to {kib}.
-This has been renamed to `kibana_system` in order to reduce confusion, and to better
-align with other built-in system accounts.
-
-*Impact* +
-Replace any use of the `kibana` user with the `kibana_system` user. Specifying
-the `kibana` user in `kibana.yml` will result in an error on startup.
-
-If your `kibana.yml` used to contain:
-[source,yaml]
---------------------------------------------------
-elasticsearch.username: kibana
---------------------------------------------------
-
-then you should update to use the new `kibana_system` user instead:
-[source,yaml]
---------------------------------------------------
-elasticsearch.username: kibana_system
---------------------------------------------------
-
-IMPORTANT: The new `kibana_system` user does not preserve the previous `kibana`
-user password. You must explicitly set a password for the `kibana_system` user.

-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Users who were previously assigned the `kibana_user` role should instead be assigned
-the `kibana_admin` role. This role grants the same set of privileges as `kibana_user`, but has been
-renamed to better reflect its intended use.
-
-*Impact* +
-Assign users with the `kibana_user` role to the `kibana_admin` role.
-Discontinue use of the `kibana_user` role.

-[[fips-default-hash-changed]]
-===== Changes to FIPS 140 mode
-.When FIPS mode is enabled the default password hash is now PBKDF2_STRETCH
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-If `xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled` is true (see <<fips-140-compliance>>),
-the value of `xpack.security.authc.password_hashing.algorithm` now defaults to
-`pbkdf2_stretch`.
-
-In earlier versions this setting would always default to `bcrypt` and a runtime
-check would prevent a node from starting unless the value was explicitly set to
-a "pbkdf2" variant.
-
-There is no change for clusters that do not enable FIPS 140 mode.
-
-*Impact* +
-This change should not have any impact on upgraded nodes.
-Any node with an explicitly configured value for the password hashing algorithm
-will continue to use that configured value.
-Any node that did not have an explicitly configured password hashing algorithm in
-{es} 6.x or {es} 7.x would have failed to start.

-[[search-remote-settings-removed]]
-.The `search.remote.*` settings have been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-In 6.5 these settings were deprecated in favor of `cluster.remote`. In 7.x we
-provided automatic upgrading of these settings to their `cluster.remote`

-====
-
-.The `node.processors` setting can no longer exceed the available number of processors.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Previously it was possible to set the number of processors used to set the
-default sizes for the thread pools to be more than the number of available
-processors. As this leads to more context switches and more threads but without
-an increase in the number of physical CPUs on which to schedule these additional
-threads, the `node.processors` setting is now bounded by the number of available
-processors.
-
-*Impact* +
-If specified, ensure the value of `node.processors` setting does not exceed the
-number of available processors. Setting the `node.processors` value greater than
-the number of available processors in `elasticsearch.yml` will result in an
-error on startup.

-* `xpack.rollup.enabled`
-* `xpack.slm.enabled`
-* `xpack.sql.enabled`
-* `xpack.transform.enabled`
-* `xpack.vectors.enabled`
-
-These basic license features are now always enabled.
-
-If you have disabled ILM so that you can use another tool to manage Watcher
-indices, the newly introduced `xpack.watcher.use_ilm_index_management` setting
-may be set to false.
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the removed settings. Specifying these settings in
-`elasticsearch.yml` will result in an error on startup.
-====
-
-.Settings used to defer cluster recovery pending a certain number of master nodes have been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The following cluster settings have been removed:
-
-* `gateway.expected_nodes`
-* `gateway.expected_master_nodes`
-* `gateway.recover_after_nodes`
-* `gateway.recover_after_master_nodes`
-
-It is safe to recover the cluster as soon as a majority of master-eligible
-nodes have joined so there is no benefit in waiting for any additional
-master-eligible nodes to start.
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the removed settings. If needed, use
-`gateway.expected_data_nodes` or `gateway.recover_after_data_nodes` to defer
-cluster recovery pending a certain number of data nodes.
-====
-
-.You can no longer set `xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size` on non-frozen nodes.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Setting `xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size` to be positive on a node
-that does not have the `data_frozen` role was deprecated in {es} 7.12.0 and has
-been removed in {es} 8.0.0.
-
-*Impact* +
-{es} only allocates partially mounted indices to nodes with the `data_frozen`
-role. Do not set `xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size` on nodes without
-the `data_frozen` role. Removing the setting on nodes without the `data_frozen`
-role will not impact functionality.
-====
-
-.By default, destructive index actions do not allow wildcards.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The default value of the setting `action.destructive_requires_name` changes from `false`
-to `true` in {es} 8.0.0.
-
-In previous versions, the default setting allowed users to use wildcard
-patterns to delete, close, or change index blocks on indices. In order
-to prevent the accidental deletion of indices that happen to match a
-wildcard pattern, we now require, by default, that any such destructive
-operation explicitly name the indices it intends to modify.
-
-*Impact* +
-If you would like to use wildcard patterns for destructive actions, set
-`action.destructive_requires_name` to `false` using the
-{ref}/cluster-update-settings.html[] cluster settings API].

-* `node.master`
-* `node.ml`
-* `node.remote_cluster_client`
-* `node.transform`
-* `node.voting_only`
-
-have been removed. Instead, use the `node.roles` setting. If you were previously
-using the legacy role settings on a 7.13 or later cluster, you will have a
-deprecation log message on each of your nodes indicating the exact replacement
-value for `node.roles`.

-====
-
-[[system-call-filter-setting]]
-.The system call filter setting has been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Elasticsearch uses system call filters to remove its ability to fork another
-process. This is useful to mitigate remote code exploits. These system call
-filters are enabled by default, and were previously controlled via the setting
-`bootstrap.system_call_filter`. Starting in Elasticsearch 8.0, system call
-filters will be required. As such, the setting `bootstrap.system_call_filter`
-was deprecated in Elasticsearch 7.13.0, and is removed as of Elasticsearch
-8.0.0.
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the removed setting. Specifying this setting in Elasticsearch
-configuration will result in an error on startup.
-====
-
-[[tier-filter-setting]]
-.Tier filtering settings have been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The cluster and index level settings ending in `._tier` used for filtering the allocation of a shard
-to a particular set of nodes have been removed. Instead, the
-{ref}/data-tier-shard-filtering.html#tier-preference-allocation-filter[tier
-preference setting], `index.routing.allocation.include._tier_preference` should
-be used. The removed settings are:
-
-Cluster level settings:
-
-- `cluster.routing.allocation.include._tier`
-- `cluster.routing.allocation.exclude._tier`
-- `cluster.routing.allocation.require._tier`
-
-Index settings:
-
-- `index.routing.allocation.include._tier`
-- `index.routing.allocation.exclude._tier`
-- `index.routing.allocation.require._tier`
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the removed settings. Specifying any of these cluster settings in Elasticsearch
-configuration will result in an error on startup. Any indices using these settings will have the
-settings archived (and they will have no effect) when the index metadata is loaded.
-====
-
-[[shared-data-path-setting]]
-.Shared data path and per index data path settings are deprecated.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-Elasticsearch uses the shared data path as the base path of per index data
-paths. This feature was previously used with shared replicas. Starting in
-7.13.0, these settings are deprecated. Starting in 8.0 only existing
-indices created in 7.x will be capable of using the shared data path and
-per index data path settings.
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the deprecated settings.
-====
-
-[[single-data-node-watermark-setting]]
-.The single data node watermark setting is deprecated and now only accepts `true`.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-In 7.14, setting `cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.enable_for_single_data_node`
-to false was deprecated. Starting in 8.0, the only legal value will be
-true. In a future release, the setting will be removed completely, with same
-behavior as if the setting was `true`.
-
-If the old behavior is desired for a single data node cluster, disk based
-allocation can be disabled by setting
-`cluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold_enabled: false`
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the deprecated setting.
-====
-
-[[auto-import-dangling-indices-removed]]
-.The `gateway.auto_import_dangling_indices` setting has been removed.
-[%collapsible]
-====
-*Details* +
-The `gateway.auto_import_dangling_indices` cluster setting has been removed.
-Previously, you could use this setting to automatically import
-{ref}/modules-gateway.html#dangling-indices[dangling indices]. However,
-automatically importing dangling indices is unsafe. Use the
-{ref}/indices.html#dangling-indices-api[dangling indices APIs] to manage and
-import dangling indices instead.
-
-*Impact* +
-Discontinue use of the removed setting. Specifying the setting in
-`elasticsearch.yml` will result in an error on startup.

-`transport.compress` defaults to `indexing_data`. This configuration means that
-the propagation of raw indexing data will be compressed between nodes.
-
-*Impact* +
-Inter-node transit will get reduced along the indexing path. In some scenarios,
-CPU usage could increase.

-Prior to 8.0, the `transport.compression_scheme` setting defaulted to `deflate`. Starting in
-8.0,  `transport.compress_scheme` defaults to `lz4`.

-Prior to 8.0, the `cluster.remote.<cluster_alias>.transport.compression_scheme`
-setting defaulted to `deflate` when `cluster.remote.<cluster_alias>.transport.compress`
-was explicitly configured. Starting in 8.0,

-*Impact* +
-This configuration means that transport compression will produce somewhat lower
-compression ratios in exchange for lower CPU load.

-*Details* +
-In 8.x, {es} writes Watcher history to a hidden
-`.watcher-history-<index-template-version>` data stream. Previously, {es} wrote
-Watcher history to hidden
-`.watcher-history-<index-template-version>-<yyyy-MM-dd>` indices.

-Update your requests to target the Watcher history data stream. For example, use
-the `.watcher-history-*` wildcard expression. Requests that specifically target
-non-existent Watcher history indices may return an error.
