* In earlier versions, database files have been stored as gzip compressed files with the extension `.gz` to
17+
save disk space. As a consequence, database files had to be loaded in memory. Now the default database files
18+
that are stored uncompressed as `.mmdb` files which allows to memory-map them and save heap memory. Any
19+
custom database files must also be stored uncompressed. Consequently, the `database_file` property in any
20+
ingest pipelines that use the Geoip Processor must refer to the uncompressed database files as well.
