[[breaking_80_mappings_changes]]
==== Mapping changes
//NOTE: The notable-breaking-changes tagged regions are re-used in the
//Installation and Upgrade Guide
//tag::notable-breaking-changes[]
.The maximum number of completion contexts per field is now 10.
[%collapsible]
====
*Details* +
The number of completion contexts within a single completion field
has been limited to 10.
*Impact* +
Use a maximum of 10 completion contexts in a completion field. Specifying more
than 10 completion contexts will return an error.
====
.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.
====
.Multi-fields within multi-fields is no longer supported.
[%collapsible]
====
*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.
====
[[fieldnames-enabling]]
.The `_field_names` metadata field's `enabled` parameter has been removed.
[%collapsible]
====
*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,
formatting, and calculations. Indices created in 7.0 and later versions are
already required to use mappings with java-time date formats. However,
earlier indices using joda-time formats must be reindexed to use
mappings with java-time formats.
*Impact* +
For a detailed migration guide, see the {ref}/migrate-to-java-time.html[Java
time migration guide].
====
[[geo-shape-strategy]]
.Several `geo_shape` mapping parameters have been removed.
[%collapsible]
====
*Details* +
The following `geo_shape` mapping parameters were deprecated in 6.6:
* `tree`
* `tree_levels`
* `strategy`
* `distance_error_pct`
These parameters have been removed in 8.0.0.
*Impact* +
In 8.0, you can no longer create mappings that include these parameters.
However, 7.x indices that use these mapping parameters will continue to work.
