Due to the limited abilities of parsing of dynamic (not configured) arguments
like `http.cors.enabled`, that dont map to a command line argument but will
become configuration, we need to mention explicitely, that those dynamic arguments
must come last.
Also fixed some mentions of a memory index setting, that does not exist anymore.
Closes#12758
In #10918, we introduced the prompt placeholders. These were had a different format
than our existing placeholders. This changes the prompt placeholders to follow the
format of the existing placeholders.
Relates to #11455
Some settings may be considered sensitive, such as passwords, and storing them
in the configuration file on disk is not good from a security perspective. This change
allows settings to have a special value, `${prompt::text}` or `${prompt::secret}`, to
indicate that elasticsearch should prompt the user for the actual value on startup.
This only works when started in the foreground. In cases where elasticsearch is started
as a service or in the background, an exception will be thrown.
Closes#10838
Add support for a specific deprecation logging that can be used to turn
on in order to notify users of a specific feature, flag, setting,
parameter, ... being deprecated.
The deprecation logger logs with a "deprecation." prefix logge
(or "org.elasticsearch.deprecation." if full name is used), and outputs
the logging to a dedicated deprecation log file.
Deprecation logging are logged under the DEBUG category. The idea is not to
enabled them by default (under WARN or ERROR) when running embedded in
another application.
By default they are turned off (INFO), in order to turn it on, the
"deprecation" category need to be set to DEBUG. This can be set in the
logging file or using the cluster update settings API, see the documentation
Closes#11033
#10032 introduced the notion of sealing an index by marking it with a special read only marker, allowing for a couple of optimization to happen. The most important one was to speed up recoveries of shards where we know nothing has changed since they were online by skipping the file based sync phase. During the implementation we came up with a light notion which achieves the same recovery benefits but without the read only aspects which we dubbed synced flush. The fact that it was light weight and didn't put the index in read only mode, allowed us to do it automatically in the background which has great advantage. However we also felt the need to allow users to manually trigger this operation.
The implementation at #11179 added the sync flush internal logic and the manual (rest) rest API. The name of the API was modeled after the sealing terminology which may end up being confusing. This commit changes the API name to match the internal synced flush naming, namely `{index}/_flush/synced'.
On top of that it contains a couple other changes:
- Remove all java client API. This feature is not supposed to be called programtically by applications but rather by admins.
- Improve rest responses making structure similar to other (flush) API
- Change IndexShard#getOperationsCount to exclude the internal +1 on open shard . it's confusing to get 1 while there are actually no ongoing operations
- Some minor other clean ups
Getting this to work would be a lot of work (creating two different
repositories, having another GPG key, integrating this into our build).
Closes#6498
this commit removes the obsolete settings for distributors and updates
the documentation on multiple data.path. It also adds an explain to the
migration guide.

Enabling GC logging works now by setting the environment variable ES_GC_LOG_FILE
to the full path to the GC log file. Missing directories will be created as needed.
The ES_USE_GC_LOGGING environment variable is no longer used.

If you use the java-package tool to create java packages, those
paths also should be added to the debian init script.
Also updated the docs, that it is ok to install java8.
Closes#7383
1. Enable the repository using "add-apt-repository" to avoid this error "No command 'deb' found".
2. Adding "sudo" to update and install command.
Closes#8691
Updated log4j link so it doesn't point to log4j 2.0 but version 1.2. Clarified which formats are supported and briefly explained what loggers and appenders are, plus added a link to the log4j docs.
