8.0.17 (25 October 2024)

Bugfix

• Reported in #1727 (and I'm relieved that nobody got bit by this sooner), A
  serious bug was found where if using the age filter while deriving the
  age from the index name, it was erroneously ignoring any index that did not
  have a matching timestring pattern, which would leave a default epoch
  time of 0, which would definitely be older than your cutoff date! As a
  result, indices were matched and deleted that should not have been.

  The fix is to remove indices that do not match the pattern in the
  _get_name_based_ages method. The patch is in this release, as are updated
  tests to replicate the failure scenario. Hat tip to @giom-l for reporting this.

Changes

• Update to use es_client==8.15.2.
• Update data node detection to include data, data_content, data_hot,
  and data_warm for shrink action. This was first raised in #1621, but
  needed to go further than just adding data_hot. Hat tip to @gnobironts for
  the original pull request.
• Add docker_test/.env to .gitignore
• More formatting changes as suggested by pylint
• Improve API calls to node.info and node.stats to use filter_path
