and fix issues in secondary, nomad, and kubernetes. Cache and file plugins also receive
targeted performance tuning.
Deprecations: The GeoIP plugin currently returns 0 for missing latitude/longitude, even though
0,0 is a real location. In the next release, this behavior will change: missing coordinates
will return an empty string instead. This avoids conflating “missing” with a real coordinate.
Users relying on 0 as a sentinel value should update their logic before this change takes effect.
See PR #7732 for reference.
