This commit refactors the handling of thread pool settings so that the
individual settings can be registered rather than registering the top
level group. With this refactoring, individual plugins must now register
their own settings for custom thread pools that they need, but a
dedicated API is provided for this in the thread pool module. This
commit also renames the prefix on the thread pool settings from
"threadpool" to "thread_pool". This enables a hard break on the settings
so that:
- some of the settings can be given more sensible names (e.g., the max
number of threads in a scaling thread pool is now named "max" instead
of "size")
- change the soft limit on the number of threads in the bulk and
indexing thread pools to a hard limit
- the settings names for custom plugins for thread pools can be
prefixed (e.g., "xpack.watcher.thread_pool.size")
- remove dynamic thread pool settings

The setting bootstrap.mlockall is useful on both POSIX-like systems
(POSIX mlockall) and Windows (Win32 VirtualLock). But mlockall is really
a POSIX only thing so the name should not be tied POSIX. This commit
renames the setting to "bootstrap.memory_lock".

Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

* Register `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` setting
This commit registers `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` as a node
level setting and removes support for its synonym setting
`index.query.bool.max_clause_count`.
Closes#18336
This removes all the mentions of the sandbox from the script engine
services and permissions model. This means that the following settings
are no longer supported:
```yaml
script.inline: sandbox
script.stored: sandbox
```
Instead, only a `true` or `false` value can be specified.
Since this would otherwise break the default-allow parameter for
languages like expressions, painless, and mustache, all script engines
have been updated to have individual settings, for instance:
```yaml
script.engine.groovy.inline: true
```
Would enable all inline scripts for groovy. (they can still be
overridden on a per-operation basis).
Expressions, Painless, and Mustache all default to `true` for inline,
file, and stored scripts to preserve the old scripting behavior.
Resolves#17114
Today the basic node settings like `node.data` and `node.master` can't really be fully validated
since we allow to specify custom user attributes on the node level. We have to, in order to
support that, add a wildcard setting for `node.*` to let these setting pass validation.
Instead we should require a more contraint prefix like `node.attr.` that defines a namespace
that is reserved for user attributes.
This commit adds a new namespace for attributes in `node.attr`.
Closes#17280
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/17288 added a check to enforce that the `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes` configuration is set when nodes have the `host`, `port`, or `bind_host` set in either `transport` or general `network` configuration sections. This was documented incorrectly as "nodes that are bound to a non-loopback interface", which lead to confusion as I set `network.host: "localhost"` and the check was still failing.
This change updates the docs to detail the actual check. I think it also highlights how complex the check is and the need for a simpler solution.
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes is the single most important setting to set on a production cluster. We have no way of supplying a good default so it must be set by the user. Binding a node to a public IP (as opposed to the default local host) is a good enough indication that a node will be part of a production cluster cluster and thus it's a good tradeoff to enforce the settings. Note that nothing prevent users from setting it to 1 in a single node cluster.
Closes#17288
We currently have a `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_client` setting that control whether their ping responses are ignored for master election (which is the current default). With the push to treat client nodes as normal nodes (and promote the transport/rest clients for client work), this should be changed. This commit remove this setting and it's companion `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_data` setting (currently defaulting to false) in favor of singe `discovery.zen.master_election.ignore_non_master_pings` setting with more intuitive name (defaulting to false).

In #17198, we removed suggest transport action, which
used the `suggest` threadpool to execute requests. Now
`suggest` threadpool is unused and suggest requests are
executed on the `search` threadpool.
In 5.0 we don't allow index settings to be specified on the node level ie.
in yaml files or via commandline argument. This can cause problems during
upgrade if this was used extensively. For instance if analyzers where
specified on a node level this might cause the index to be closed when
imported (see #17187). In such a case all indices relying on this
must be updated via `PUT /${index}/_settings`. Yet, this API has slightly
different semantics since it overrides existing settings. To make this less
painful this change adds a `preserve_existing` parameter on that API to ensure
we have the same semantics as if the setting was applied on the node level.
This change also adds a better error message and a change to the migration guide
to ensure upgrades are smooth if index settings are specified on the node level.
If a index setting is detected this change fails the node startup and prints a message
like this:
```
*************************************************************************************
Found index level settings on node level configuration.
Since elasticsearch 5.x index level settings can NOT be set on the nodes
configuration like the elasticsearch.yaml, in system properties or command line
arguments.In order to upgrade all indices the settings must be updated via the
/${index}/_settings API. Unless all settings are dynamic all indices must be closed
in order to apply the upgradeIndices created in the future should use index templates
to set default values.
Please ensure all required values are updated on all indices by executing:
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings?preserve_existing=true' -d '{
"index.number_of_shards" : "1",
"index.query.default_field" : "main_field",
"index.translog.durability" : "async",
"index.ttl.disable_purge" : "true"
}'

Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
