This meant that unless carefully configured any node in the cluster could potentially be used as a gateway node for a cross cluster search. This may cause problems when running with dedicated master nodes as it is undesirable for master eligible nodes to be used for any search activity. Starting from 6.4.0 cross cluster search will no longer consider dedicated master eligible nodes as potential gateway nodes providing a better out of the box default for running cross cluster searches. * Format option for doc_value fields - `doc_value` fields in the Search API can now specify a `format` field to control the format of the value in the response. For more information, see <>. * Support second level of field collapse - This extends the field collapsing feature to allow the top item for two fields to be retrieved. For example retrieving top scored tweets by country, and for each country, top scored tweets for each user. This can be an alternative to using multiple levels of terms aggregations along with top hits.
