Sourced from elasticsearch's releases.

8.0.0

⚠️ v8.0.0 is a new major release and contains some breaking changes. For information on how migrate your application from v7.x to v8.0.0 you can read the migration guide here.

Client

Added

• Added the top-level .options() method to Elasticsearch and AsyncElasticsearch for modifying transport options.
• Added parameters corresponding to JSON request body fields for all APIs
• Added basic_auth parameter for specifying username and password authentication
• Added bearer_auth parameter for specifying an HTTP bearer token or service token
• Added the meta property to ApiError to access the HTTP response metadata of an error.
• Added a check that a compatible version of the elastic-transport package is installed.

Changed

• Changed the transport layer to use the elastic-transport package
• Changed user-defined body parameters to have semantic names (e.g index(document={...}) instead of index(body={...})).
• Changed responses to be objects with two properties, meta for response metadata (HTTP status, headers, node, etc) and body for a typed body.
• Changed AsyncElasticsearch to always be available, regardless of whether aiohttp is installed
• Changed exception hierarchy, the major change is a new exception ApiError which differentiates between an error that's raised from the transport layer (previously elasticsearch.exceptions.TransportError, now elastic_transport.TransportError) and one raised from the API layer
• Changed the name of JSONSerializer to JsonSerializer for consistency with other serializer names. Added an alias to the old name for backwards compatibility
• Changed the default mimetypes (application/json) to instead use compatibility mimetypes (application/vnd.elasticsearch+json) which always request for responses compatibility with version 8.x.

Removed

• Removed support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.5, the library now supports only Python 3.6+
• Removed the elasticsearch.connection module as all functionality has been moved to the elastic-transport package
• Removed the default URL of http://localhost:9200 due to Elasticsearch 8.0 default configuration being https://localhost:9200. The client's connection to Elasticsearch now must be specified with scheme, host, and port or with the cloud_id parameter
• Removed the ability to use positional arguments with API methods. Going forward all API parameters must be keyword-only parameters

Deprecated

• Deprecated the body and params parameters on all APIs
• Deprecated setting transport options http_auth, api_key, ignore, request_timeout, headers, and opaque_id All of these settings should instead be set via the .options() method
• Deprecated the elasticsearch.transport and elasticsearch.client modules. These modules will be removed in a future version

API

• Removed the doc_type, include_type_name, and copy_settings parameters from many document and index APIs

CAT

• Removed the deprecated local parameter from the cat.indices, cat.nodes, cat.shards API
• Removed the deprecated allow_no_datafeeds parameter from the cat.ml_datafeeds API
• Removed the deprecated allow_no_jobs parameter from the cat.ml_jobs API
• Removed the deprecated size parameter from the cat.thread_pool API
