Elasticsearch 7.5.0, based on Lucene 8.3.0, introduces several enhancements in search and analytics, cluster management, machine learning, and more, now available on Elastic Cloud. Notable features include the new enrich processor, which simplifies ingest processes by enabling data enrichment from existing indices, and higher-resolution geotile analysis with composite aggregations, allowing more efficient processing of geographical data. This release also enhances SQL functionality with shape support, improves snapshot lifecycle management with retention capabilities, and strengthens security through an API keys app and the create_doc index privilege. Cross-Cluster Replication (CCR) is enhanced with pause and resume API endpoints, facilitating easier upgrades in bi-directional replication architectures. Additionally, the release includes a Machine Learning Classification API for binary classification, with several features available under Elastic’s free Basic subscription tier, while others, like CCR enhancements, require a Platinum subscription.
