Today we have two variants of translogs for indexing. We only recommend the buffered
one which also has a 20% advantage in indexing speed. This commit removes the option and defaults
to the buffered case. It also hard-wires the translog buffer to 8kb instead of 64kb. We used to
adjust that buffer based on if the shard is active or not, this code has also been removed and
instead we just keep an 8kb buffer arround.
This commit removes `index.translog.flush_threshold_ops` and `index.translog.disable_flush`
in favor of `index.translog.flush_threshold_size`. The number of operations is meaningless by itself and
can easily be turned into a size value with knowledge of the data. Disabling the flush is only useful in
tests and we can set the size value to a really high value. If users really need to do this they can
also apply a very high value like `1PB`.
This change adds a Fixture class for use by gradle. A Fixture is an
external process that integration tests will use. It can be added as a
dependsOn for integTest, and will automatically be shutdown upon success
or failure, as well as relevant information dumped on failure. There is
also an example fixture in this change.
