.The `http.tcp_no_delay` setting has been replaced by `http.tcp.no_delay`.
[%collapsible]
====
*Details* +
The `http.tcp_no_delay` setting was deprecated in 7.x and has been removed in 8.0. It has been replaced by
`http.tcp.no_delay`.

*Impact* +
Use the `http.tcp.no_delay` setting. Discontinue use of the `http.tcp_no_delay`
setting. Specifying the `http.tcp_no_delay` setting in `elasticsearch.yml` will
result in an error on startup.
====

.The `es.rest.url_plus_as_space` system property has been removed.
[%collapsible]
====
*Details* +
Starting in version 7.4, a `+` in a URL will be encoded as `%2B` by all REST API functionality. Prior versions handled a `+` as a single space.
In these previous versions, if your application required handling `+` as a single space, you could return to the old behaviour by setting the system property
`es.rest.url_plus_as_space` to `true`. Note that this behaviour is deprecated and setting this system property to `true` will cease
to be supported in version 8.

*Impact* +
Update your workflow and applications to assume `+` in a URL is encoded as
`%2B`. Discontinue use of the `es.rest.url_plus_as_space` system property.
Specifying this property in `elasticsearch.yml` will result in an error on
startup.
