- Users can now create choropleth maps. This requires configuring an inner join between the results of a term-aggregation and a reference vector layer. This vector layer needs to be in the GeoJson format. By default, Kibana uses vector layers serverd by a data service hosted by Elastic. Users can also bring in their own layers by adding configuration entries in the kibana.yml. These need to point to a CORS-enabled data service that accepts requests from the Kibana application.
- For clarity, the tilemap is renamed to Coordinate Map.
- A new manifest is published by Elastic. this includes metadata for the available tilemap services, as well as metadata for the available vector data layers.
Required manual edits to resolve

This overhaul of the docs structure puts Kibana's documentation more
inline with the structure that is used in Elasticsearch. This will help
us better organize the docs going forward as more docs are added.
This also includes a few necessary content changes for 5.0.
