+[[format_of_non_detailed_error_responses_changing_in_v9]]
+.The format of non-detailed error responses is changing in v9
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+When an error occurs when processing a request, Elasticsearch returns information on that error in the REST response.
+If `http:detailed_errors.enabled: false` is specified in node settings with the v8 REST API and below,
+the format of this response changes significantly.
+Starting with the v9 REST API, the JSON structure of responses with errors when the `http.detailed_errors.enabled: false` option is set
+will be the same as when detailed errors are enabled (which is the default).
+To keep using the existing format for non-detailed error responses, use the v8 REST API.
+
+*Impact* +
+If you have set `http.detailed_errors.enabled: false` (the default is `true`)
+the structure of JSON when any exceptions occur will change with the v9 REST API.
+To keep using the existing format, use the v8 REST API.
