==== Cross-cluster search settings renamed
91+
92+
The cross-cluster search remote cluster connection infrastructure is also used
93+
in cross-cluster replication. This means that the setting names
94+
`search.remote.*` used for configuring cross-cluster search belie the fact that
95+
they also apply to other situations where a connection to a remote cluster as
96+
used. Therefore, these settings have been renamed from `search.remote.*` to
97+
`cluster.remote.*`. For backwards compatibility purposes, we will fallback to
98+
`search.remote.*` if `cluster.remote.*` is not set. For any such settings stored
99+
in the cluster state, or set on dynamic settings updates, we will automatically
100+
upgrade the setting from `search.remote.*` to `cluster.remote.*`. The fallback
101+
settings will be removed in 8.0.0.
