I am migrating a vaadin 7 based application to vaadin 8. I want to replace all old tables with grids. For BeanItemContainer, i know it has been removed. What about the GeneratedPropertyContainer? Which elements should I use for my replacement?

You can use Grid.addColumn(…) variant with ValueProvider given as parameter. https://vaadin.com/api/8.1.2/com/vaadin/ui/Grid.html#addColumn-com.vaadin.data.ValueProvider-

So our app is in Vaadin 7. Looking at moving it to Vaadin 8, I see there are no more …
Connection Pools?
Containers?
Items?
Properties?
Field?

Can you suggest what would the replacement for above components in vaadin 8?

You should replace BeanItemContainer with ListDataProvider.
