+====
+*Details* +
+The `?local` parameter to the `GET _cat/shards` API was deprecated in 7.x and is
+rejected in 8.0. This parameter caused the API to use the local cluster state
+to determine the nodes returned by the API rather than the cluster state from
+the master, but this API requests information from each selected node
+regardless of the `?local` parameter which means this API does not run in a
+fully node-local fashion.
