Liferay DXP 7.0 Fix Pack 70 and SP10 includes the fixes for LPS-79348, LPS-78857 and LPS-80931.
Part of the changes (namely in LPS-78857) new APIs were added to the com.liferay.portal.search.api module which all Liferay search engine connectors must implement to function properly and to fix the issues described on the two other tickets.
Deployment Impact on Search Connectors
The above means, installation of Fix Pack 70+ or SP10+ also requires to deploy a new version of the following Marketplace applications if they are in use:
- Liferay Connector to Elasticsearch 6 (1.0.1 or higher)
- Liferay Solr 5 Search Engine (1.1.1 or higher)
(The default com.liferay.portal.search.elasticsearch connector is updated as part of the fix pack.)
