Prior to this PR, there is a bug in ILM which does not allow ILM to stop
if one or more indices have an index.lifecycle.name which refers to
a policy that does not exist - the operation_mode will be stuck as
STOPPING until either the policy is created or the nonexistent
policy is removed from those indices.
This change allows ILM to stop in this case and makes the logging more
clear as to why ILM is not stopping.
We have had various reports of problems caused by the maxRetryTimeout
setting in the low-level REST client. Such setting was initially added
in the attempts to not have requests go through retries if the request
already took longer than the provided timeout.
The implementation was problematic though as such timeout would also
expire in the first request attempt (see #31834), would leave the
request executing after expiration causing memory leaks (see #33342),
and would not take into account the http client internal queuing (see #25951).
Given all these issues, it seems that this custom timeout mechanism
gives little benefits while causing a lot of harm. We should rather rely
on connect and socket timeout exposed by the underlying http client
and accept that a request can overall take longer than the configured
timeout, which is the case even with a single retry anyways.
This commit removes the `maxRetryTimeout` setting and all of its usages.
Previously, ShrinkAction would fail if
it was executed on an index that had
the same number of shards as the target
shrunken number.
This PR introduced a new BranchingStep that
is used inside of ShrinkAction to branch which
step to move to next, depending on the
shard values. So no shrink will occur if the
shard count is unchanged.
We inject an Unfollow action before Shrink because the Shrink action
cannot be safely used on a following index, as it may not be fully
caught up with the leader index before the "original" following index is
deleted and replaced with a non-following Shrunken index. The Unfollow
action will verify that 1) the index is marked as "complete", and 2) all
operations up to this point have been replicated from the leader to the
follower before explicitly disconnecting the follower from the leader.
Injecting an Unfollow action before the Rollover action is done mainly
as a convenience: This allow users to use the same lifecycle policy on
both the leader and follower cluster without having to explictly modify
the policy to unfollow the index, while doing what we expect users to
want in most cases.
Some steps, such as steps that delete, close, or freeze an index, may fail due to a currently running snapshot of the index. In those cases, rather than move to the ERROR step, we should retry the step when the snapshot has completed.
This change adds an abstract step (`AsyncRetryDuringSnapshotActionStep`) that certain steps (like the ones I mentioned above) can extend that will automatically handle a situation where a snapshot is taking place. When a `SnapshotInProgressException` is received by the listener wrapper, a `ClusterStateObserver` listener is registered to wait until the snapshot has completed, re-running the ILM action when no snapshot is occurring.
This also adds integration tests for these scenarios (thanks to @talevy in #37552).
Resolves#37541
This commit adds a set_priority action to the hot, warm, and cold
phases for an ILM policy. This action sets the `index.priority`
on the managed index to allow different priorities between the
hot, warm, and cold recoveries.
This commit also includes the HLRC and documentation changes.
closes#36905
the testFullPolicy and testMoveToRolloverStep tests
are very important tests, but they sometimes timeout
beyond the default 10sec wait for shrink to occur.
This commit increases one of the assertBusys to

Leaving `index.lifecycle.indexing_complete` in place when removing the
lifecycle policy from an index can cause confusion, as if a new policy
is associated with the policy, rollover will be silently skipped.
Removing that setting when removing the policy from an index makes
associating a new policy with the index more involved, but allows ILM to
fail loudly, rather than silently skipping operations which the user may
assume are being performed.
* Adjust order of checks in WaitForRolloverReadyStep
This allows ILM to error out properly for indices that have a valid
alias, but are not the write index, while still handling
`indexing_complete` on old-style aliases and rollover (that is, those
which only point to a single index at a time with no explicit write
index)
The error message used when attempting to delete a lifecycle policy that
is in use previously only included one index which was using the policy.
It now includes all indices using that policy.
Adds a setting that indicates that an index is done indexing, set by ILM
when the Rollover action completes. This indicates that the Rollover
action should be skipped in any future invocations, as long as the index
is no longer the write index for its alias.
This enables 1) an index with a policy that involves the Rollover action
to have the policy removed and switched to another one without use of
the move-to-step API, and 2) integrations with Beats and CCR.
RolloverStep previously had a name of "attempt_rollover", which was
inconsistent with all other step names due it its use of an underscore
instead of a dash.
RolloverAction will now periodically check the rollover conditions using
the Rollover API with the dry_run option as an AsyncWaitStep, then run
the rollover itself by calling the Rollover API with no conditions,
which will always roll over, as an AsyncActionStep. This will resolve
race condition issues in policies using RolloverAction.
Before, moving to a failed step would only change the step info
to be that of the failed step. This means two things.
1. Async Steps would never be triggered to execute
2. If there are inherent problems with the action definition that can
be fixed with a policy update, these changes were not being reflected
by the new execution info.
Changes now
1. Async steps are executed after the move to the failed step in cluster state
2. the lifecycle execution info's phase definition is updated from the current
latest policy definition, even though the index isn't moving to a new phase.
Closes#35397.
If the Rollover step would fail due to the next index in sequence
already existing, just skip to the next step instead of going to the
Error step.
This prevents spurious `ResourceAlreadyExistsException`s created by
simultaneous RolloverStep executions from causing ILM to error out
unnecessarily.
This commit does a few things
- moves ILM-specifc rest yaml tests into plugin/ilm/qa, and creates special
:plugin:ilm:qa:rest module to test them
- removes the with-security tests of the yaml tests since they are covered in
the rest tests now
- moves ChangePolicyforIndexIT into the qa/multi-node project since that test is
not currently running in main ilm since integTest is disabled
This PR renames the CRUD APIS for ILM
GET _ilm/<policy>, _ilm -> _ilm/policy/<policy>, _ilm/policy
PUT _ilm/<policy> -> _ilm/policy/<policy>
DELETE _ilm/<policy> -> _ilm/policy/<policy>
closes#34929.
The Move To Step API now checks to see if the target step is an
AsyncActionStep, and if so, runs it.
Previously, AsyncActionSteps would only be run when they are entered by
executing the previous step, so if an AsyncActionStep was entered via
the Move To Step API, ILM would never touch that index again.
* Removes Set Policy API in favour of setting index.lifecycle.name
directly
* Reinstates matcher that will still be used
* Cleans up code after rebase
* Adds test to check changing policy with ndex settings works
* Fixes TimeseriesLifecycleActionsIT after API removal
* Fixes docs tests
* Fixes case on close where lifecycle service was never created
Having integration tests separated from the unit tests in the qa
directory works much more smoothly with our testing infrastructure,
matches what other plugins do, and tests in a more "real" deployment
scenario by having all plugins installed.
