Some big changes here, with more coming soon.

New

  • Require elasticsearch-py version 7.0.4
  • Official support for Python 3.7 — In fact, the pre-built packages are built
    using Python 3.7 now.
  • Packages bundle OpenSSL 1.1.1c, removing the need for system OpenSSL
  • Certifi 2019.9.11 certificates included.
  • New client configuration option: api_key - used in the X-Api-key header in
    requests to Elasticsearch when set, which may be required if ReadonlyREST
    plugin is configured to require api-key. Requested in #1409 (vetler)
  • Add skip_flush option to the close action. This should be useful
    when trying to close indices with unassigned shards (e.g. before restore).
    Raised in #1412. (psypuff)
  • Use RequestsHttpConnection class, which permits the use of
    HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. Raised in #510
    and addressed by #1259 (raynigon) in August of 2018. Subsequent changes,
    however, required some adaptation, and re-submission as a different PR.
    (untergeek)
  • ignore_existing option added to CreateIndex. Will not raise an
    error if the index to be created already exists. Raised by (breml) in
    #1352. (untergeek)
  • Add support for freeze and unfreeze indexes using curator. Requires
    Elasticsearch version 6.6 or greater with xpack enabled. Requested in issue
    #1399 and rasied in PR #1454. (junmuz)
  • Allow the close action to ignore synced flush failures with the new
    ignore_sync_failures option. Raised in #1248. (untergeek)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix kibana filter to match any and all indices starting with .kibana.
    This addresses #1363, and everyone else upgrading to Elasticsearch 7.x.
    Update documentation accordingly. (untergeek)
  • Fix reindex post-action checks. When the filters do not return documents
    to be reindexed, the post-action check to ensure the target index exists
    is not needed. This new version will skip that validation if no documents
    are processed (issue #1170). (afharo)
  • Prevent the empty filtertype from incorrectly matching against closed
    indices #1430 (heyitsmdr)
  • Fix index_size function to be able to report either for either the
    total of all shards (default) or just primaries. Added as a keyword
    arg to preserve existing behavior. This was needed to fix sizing
    calculations for the Shrink action, which should only count primaries.
    Raised in #1429 (untergeek).
  • Fix allow_ilm_indices to work with the rollover action. Reported in
    #1418 (untergeek)
  • Update the client connection logic to be cleaner and log more verbosely in
    an attempt to address issues like #1418 and others like it more effectively
    as other failures have appeared to be client failures because the last
    log message were vague indications that a client connection was attempted.
    This is a step in the right direction, as it explicitly exits with a 1 exit
    code for different conditions now. (untergeek)
  • Catch snapshots without a timestring in the name causing a logic error when
    using the count filter and use_age with source: name. Reported
    by (nerophon) in #1366. (untergeek)
  • Ensure authentication (401), authorization (403), and other 400 errors are
    logged properly. Reported by (rfalke) in #1413. (untergeek)
  • Fix crashes in restore of "large" number of indices reported by breml in
    #1360. (anandsinghkunwar)
  • Do an empty list check before querying indices for field stats. Fixed by
    (CiXiHuo) in #1448.
  • Fix "Correctly report task runtime in seconds" while reindexing. Reported
    by (jkelastic) in #1335

Documentation

  • Grammar correction of ilm.asciidoc #1425 (SlavikCA)
  • Updates to reflect changes to Elasticsearch 7 documentation #1426 and #1428
    (lcawl) and (jrodewig)
