Well, not sure if it qualifies as a breaking change, unless you cowboy code  
javascript like I do 😉

The node stats api (/\_nodes/{this.nodeId}/stats?all=1) is returning a  
different format for JVM GC now, splitting old and young generations (which  
is really helpful)

I didn't notice this change in Beta1, so I thought I'd point it out and  
maybe someone can/might update the doc.

```
        "gc": {
           "collectors": {
              "young": {
                 "collection_count": 3,
                 "collection_time_in_millis": 136
              },
              "old": {
                 "collection_count": 0,
                 "collection_time_in_millis": 0
              }
           }

```

I also didn't notice previously the jvm returning pool information (another  
helpful addition!)

```
           "pools": {
              "young": {
                 "used_in_bytes": 30180776,
                 "max_in_bytes": 279183360,
                 "peak_used_in_bytes": 71630848,
                 "peak_max_in_bytes": 279183360
              },
              "survivor": {
                 "used_in_bytes": 8912888,
                 "max_in_bytes": 34865152,
                 "peak_used_in_bytes": 8912896,
                 "peak_max_in_bytes": 34865152
              },
              "old": {
                 "used_in_bytes": 21765456,
                 "max_in_bytes": 724828160,
                 "peak_used_in_bytes": 21765456,
                 "peak_max_in_bytes": 724828160
              }
           }

```

It appears these changes may not be new, and simply a symptom of my moving  
to G1GC... disregard my mad ramblings.

Hi Roy,  
I think you are referring to this recent  
change: [Create standard gc and memory\_pool names for Jvm stats · Issue #4661 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/4661) .

The same information was already there, but depending on the type of  
garbage collector had different names. We decided to standardize under old  
and young and survivor, using the same names in all cases.

Yes. Thanks, Luca. The ticket does call it a breaking change, but I must've  
somehow missed the information in the old format.
