from+size limits

Elasticsearch will now return an error message if a query’s from + size is more than the index.max_result_window parameter.

index.max_result_window default 10000

Nested Sorting

To avoid confusion the nested_path should always be specified.

Update changes

Updates now detect_loop by default

We’ve switched the default value of the detect_noop option from false to true. This means that Elasticsearch will ignore updates that don’t change source unless you explicitly set "detect_noop": false. detect_noop was always computationally cheap compared to the expense of the update which can be thought of as a delete operation followed by an index operation.

detect_noop option=false => true
