+=== New `match_only_text` field type
+
+{ref}/text.html#match-only-text-field-type[`match_only_text`] is a new
+space-optimized variant of `text` that disables scoring and performs slower
+on queries that need positions. It is best suited for indexing log messages.

+Composite aggregations on `keyword` fields no longer use
+{ref}/eager-global-ordinals.html[global ordinals], which for high cardinality
+fields could use a lot of heap memory as part of the
+{ref}/modules-fielddata.html[field data cache].
