2018-05-01 19:05:23 -04:00
Monitoring::
* The `xpack.monitoring.collection.interval` setting can no longer be set to `-1`

and set it to `false` (its default), which was added in 6.3.0.
Security::
* The fields returned as part of the mappings section by get index, get
mappings, get field mappings, and field capabilities API are now only the
ones that the user is authorized to access in case field level security is enabled.

Watcher HTTP client used in watches now allows more parallel connections to the
same endpoint and evicts long running connections. ({pull}30130[#30130])
Watcher: Make start/stop cycle more predictable and synchronous (#30118)
The current implementation starts/stops watcher using an executor. This
can result in our of order operations.
This commit reduces those executor calls to an absolute minimum in order
to be able to do state changes within the cluster state listener method,
which runs in sequence.
When a state change occurs that forces the watcher service to pause
(like no watcher index, no master node, no local shards), the service is
now in a paused state.
Pausing is a super lightweight operation, which marks the
ExecutionService as paused and waits for the currently executing watches
to finish in the background via an executor. The same applies for
stopping, the potentially long running operation is outsourced in to an
executor, as waiting for executed watches is decoupled from the current
state.
The only other long running operation is starting, where watches need to
be loaded. This is also done via an executor, but has an additional
protection by checking the cluster state version it was started with. If
another cluster state version was trying to load the watches, then this
loading will not take effect.
This PR also cleans up some unused states, like the a simple boolean in
the HistoryStore/TriggeredWatchStore marking it as started or stopped,
as this can now be caught in the execution service.
Another advantage of this approach is the fact, that now only triggered
watches are not getting executed, while watches that are run via the
Execute Watch API will still be executed regardless if watcher is
stopped or not.
Lastly the TickerScheduleTriggerEngine thread now only starts on data nodes.
2018-05-03 03:47:12 -04:00
The cluster state listener to decide if watcher should be
stopped/started/paused now runs far less code in an executor but is more
synchronous and predictable. Also the trigger engine thread is only started on
data nodes. And the Execute Watch API can be triggered regardless is watcher is
started or stopped. ({pull}30118[#30118])
