 - Add task completion count in search backpressure stats API ([#10028](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/10028/))
 - Deprecate CamelCase `PathHierarchy` tokenizer name in favor to lowercase `path_hierarchy` ([#10894](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/10894))
 - Switched to more reliable OpenSearch Lucene snapshot location([#11728](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/11728))
+- Ensure jackson default maximums introduced in 2.16.0 do not conflict with OpenSearch settings ([#11890](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/11890))
