 Description   

Description

Downstream Change Summary

Support for the geoSearch command and haystack indexes has been removed in version 4.9. Any pre-existing haystack indexes will be deleted as part of the upgrade to FCV 4.9 and above.

Description of Linked Ticket

These features are planned for deprecation under SERVER-46706. I believe the intention is for this deprecation notice to go out with 4.4.0-rc0, in which case support for these features should be removed in the 4.5 development branch.

david.storch , yeah, when we update our Compatibility Notes page with info about the deletion of haystack indexes and geoSearch, we could update the dochub link to point to that new content if that would be preferable. Whether we do or do not, the URL would remain the same, so still no action required in SERVER-52786. I would say that ticket is a "Won't Do".

Thanks jeffrey.allen. Regarding the dochub link – do you think it should permanently point to the page for 2d indexes? Or would we make it direct users to a page that describes the deprecation/deletion of haystack indexes and geoSearch?

Even if we did make such a change, is there any reason to make any changes to the message logged by the server? It seems to me that there is not, and we can close SERVER-52786 as "Won't Do".

Ah, and with SERVER-52786, I don't think you would need to do anything on your end. It looks like those dochub links direct to 2d indexes, which should be the replacement for those indexes. As far as I can tell no action is required.

Hi david.storch and mihai.andrei ! 100% agree that this is a key user-facing update coming in 5.0. We will discuss this ticket in our next planning meeting (Monday) and will have a better sense of when we will address this ticket then. Rest assured it will get documented for the v5.0 release!

Comment by David Storch [ 28/Apr/21 ]

Hi jeffrey.allen! Could we get an update on the status of this ticket? Since 5.0 is approaching, it seems like documenting the removal of this functionality is important. We would also like to understand whether there is anything that needs to be done on our end under SERVER-52786.

We should make sure that the upgrade instructions mention that you should ensure your application is not using geoSearch or geoHaystack prior to upgrade to a version 4.9 or above. And I guess the release notes should also mention that we have removed support for this feature.

Comment by Mihai Andrei [ 12/Nov/20 ]

As part of this work, we need a new dochub link that points to the page which documents the removal of support for geoSearch/geoHaystack.
