​Renamed ​Plugins

Many core plugins have been renamed in Kestra 0.17.0, and taskDefaults are now pluginDefaults. While these are non-breaking changes, we recommend updating your flows to use the new names.

Why the Change?

Multiple plugin types have been moved to a new package structure under io.kestra.plugin.core to make the plugin system more consistent and intuitive.

All of these are non-breaking changes as we leverage aliases for backward compatibility. You will see a friendly warning in the UI code editor if you use the old names.

It's worth taking a couple of minutes to rename those in your flows to future-proof your code.

Renamed Core Plugins

Here is the schema showing how the core abstractions have been renamed:

• io.kestra.core.models.conditions.types.* → io.kestra.plugin.core.condition.*
• io.kestra.core.models.triggers.types.* → io.kestra.plugin.core.trigger.*
• io.kestra.core.models.tasks.runners.types.* → io.kestra.plugin.core.runner.*
• io.kestra.core.tasks.storages.* → io.kestra.plugin.core.storage.*
• io.kestra.core.tasks.*.* → io.kestra.plugin.core.*.*
• io.kestra.plugin.fs.http.* → io.kestra.plugin.core.http.*

Below you can see the full list of renamed plugins:

Renamed Serdes Plugins

We've also renamed serialization tasks from Readers and Writers to explicit conversion tasks to make it more explicit that these tasks are intended to either convert from or to Ion — the primary data format used in Kestra to serialize data between tasks and storage systems. For example, CsvReader is now CsvToIon and the CsvWriter is now IonToCsv.

A full list of the renamed serialization tasks:

• CsvReader → CsvToIon
• CsvWriter → IonToCsv
• JsonReader → JsonToIon
• JsonWriter → IonToJson
• AvroReader → AvroToIon
• AvroWriter → IonToAvro
• XmlReader → XmlToIon
• XmlWriter → IonToXml
• ParquetReader → ParquetToIon
• ParquetWriter → IonToParquet

Renamed Task Runners

We've also renamed the task runners to make them more readable and easier to use. For example, io.kestra.plugin.aws.runner.AwsBatchTaskRunner is now io.kestra.plugin.ee.aws.runner.Batch. The updated names are as follows:

Renamed Redis Triggers and Tasks

The Redis plugin has been updated to make it easier to extend and maintain. The following classes have been renamed:
