 `prefix_mode_verification` | When enabled, adds a hashed value of a random seed to the prefix for repository verification. For remote-store-enabled clusters, you can add the `setting.prefix_mode_verification` setting to the node attributes for the supplied repository. This field works with both new and existing repositories. Optional.
+`shard_path_type` | Controls the path structure of shard-level blobs. Supported values are `FIXED`, `HASHED_PREFIX`, and `HASHED_INFIX`. For more information about each value, see [shard_path_type values](#shard_path_type-values)/. Default is `FIXED`. Optional.

+#### shard_path_type values
+
+The following values are supported in the `shard_path_type` setting:
+
+- `FIXED`: Keeps the path structure in the existing hierarchical manner, such as `<ROOT>/<BASE_PATH>/indices/<index-id>/0/<SHARD_BLOBS>`.
+- `HASHED_PREFIX`: Prepends a hashed prefix at the start of the path for each unique shard ID, for example, `<ROOT>/<HASH-OF-INDEX-ID-AND-SHARD-ID>/<BASE_PATH>/indices/<index-id>/0/<SHARD_BLOBS>`.
+- `HASHED_INFIX`: Appends a hashed prefix after the base path for each unique shard ID, for example, `<ROOT>/<BASE-PATH>/<HASH-OF-INDEX-ID-AND-SHARD-ID>/indices/<index-id>/0/<SHARD_BLOBS>`. The hash method used is `FNV_1A_COMPOSITE_1`, which uses the `FNV1a` hash function and generates a custom-encoded 64-bit hash value that scales well with most remote store options. `FNV1a` takes the most significant 6 bits to create a URL-safe Base64 character and the next 14 bits to create a binary string.

 - `cluster.remote_store.segment.transfer_timeout` (Time unit): Controls the maximum amount of time to wait for all new segments to update after refresh to the remote store. If the upload does not complete within a specified amount of time, it throws a `SegmentUploadFailedException` error. Default is `30m`. It has a minimum constraint of `10m`.
 
+- `cluster.remote_store.translog.path.prefix` (String): Controls the fixed path prefix for translog data on a remote-store-enabled cluster. This setting only applies when the `cluster.remote_store.index.path.type` setting is either `HASHED_PREFIX` or `HASHED_INFIX`. Default is an empty string, `""`.
