Add new x-pack endpoints to track the progress of a search asynchronously (#49931) (#53591)
This change introduces a new API in x-pack basic that allows to track the progress of a search.
Users can submit an asynchronous search through a new endpoint called `_async_search` that
works exactly the same as the `_search` endpoint but instead of blocking and returning the final response when available, it returns a response after a provided `wait_for_completion` time.
````
GET my_index_pattern*/_async_search?wait_for_completion=100ms
{
"aggs": {
"date_histogram": {
"field": "@timestamp",
"fixed_interval": "1h"
}
}
}
````
If after 100ms the final response is not available, a `partial_response` is included in the body:
````
{
"id": "9N3J1m4BgyzUDzqgC15b",
"version": 1,
"is_running": true,
"is_partial": true,
"response": {
"_shards": {
"total": 100,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"total_hits": {
"value": 1653433,
"relation": "eq"
},
"aggs": {
...
}
}
}
````
The partial response contains the total number of requested shards, the number of shards that successfully returned and the number of shards that failed.
It also contains the total hits as well as partial aggregations computed from the successful shards.
To continue to monitor the progress of the search users can call the get `_async_search` API like the following:
````
GET _async_search/9N3J1m4BgyzUDzqgC15b/?wait_for_completion=100ms
````
That returns a new response that can contain the same partial response than the previous call if the search didn't progress, in such case the returned `version`
should be the same. If new partial results are available, the version is incremented and the `partial_response` contains the updated progress.
Finally if the response is fully available while or after waiting for completion, the `partial_response` is replaced by a `response` section that contains the usual _search response:
````
{
"id": "9N3J1m4BgyzUDzqgC15b",
"version": 10,
"is_running": false,
"response": {
"is_partial": false,
...
}
}
````
Asynchronous search are stored in a restricted index called `.async-search` if they survive (still running) after the initial submit. Each request has a keep alive that defaults to 5 days but this value can be changed/updated any time:
`````
GET my_index_pattern*/_async_search?wait_for_completion=100ms&keep_alive=10d
`````
The default can be changed when submitting the search, the example above raises the default value for the search to `10d`.
`````
GET _async_search/9N3J1m4BgyzUDzqgC15b/?wait_for_completion=100ms&keep_alive=10d
`````
The time to live for a specific search can be extended when getting the progress/result. In the example above we extend the keep alive to 10 more days.
A background service that runs only on the node that holds the first primary shard of the `async-search` index is responsible for deleting the expired results. It runs every hour but the expiration is also checked by running queries (if they take longer than the keep_alive) and when getting a result.
Like a normal `_search`, if the http channel that is used to submit a request is closed before getting a response, the search is automatically cancelled. Note that this behavior is only for the submit API, subsequent GET requests will not cancel if they are closed.
Asynchronous search are not persistent, if the coordinator node crashes or is restarted during the search, the asynchronous search will stop. To know if the search is still running or not the response contains a field called `is_running` that indicates if the task is up or not. It is the responsibility of the user to resume an asynchronous search that didn't reach a final response by re-submitting the query. However final responses and failures are persisted in a system index that allows
to retrieve a response even if the task finishes.
````
DELETE _async_search/9N3J1m4BgyzUDzqgC15b
````
The response is also not stored if the initial submit action returns a final response. This allows to not add any overhead to queries that completes within the initial `wait_for_completion`.
The `.async-search` index is a restricted index (should be migrated to a system index in +8.0) that is accessible only through the async search APIs. These APIs also ensure that only the user that submitted the initial query can retrieve or delete the running search. Note that admins/superusers would still be able to cancel the search task through the task manager like any other tasks.
