Store information reports on which nodes shard copies exist, the shard
copy version, indicating how recent they are, and any exceptions
encountered while opening the shard index or from earlier engine failure.

Just like specifying `?preference=_primary`, this adds the ability to
specify `?preference=_replica` or `?preference=_replica_first` on
requests that support it.
Resolves#12222
During master election each node pings in order to discover other nodes and validate the liveness of existing nodes. Based on this information the node either discovers an existing master or, if enough nodes are found (based on `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes>>) a new master will be elected.
Currently, the node that is elected as master will currently update it the cluster state to indicate the result of the election. Other nodes will submit a join request to the newly elected master node. Instead of immediately processing the election result, the elected master
node should wait for the incoming joins from other nodes, thus validating the elections result is properly applied. As soon as enough nodes have sent their joins request (based on the `minimum_master_nodes` settings) the cluster state is modified.
Note that if `minimum_master_nodes` is not set, this change has no effect.

Require urls for URL repository to be listed in repositories.url.allowed_urls setting. This change ensures that only authorized URLs can be accessed by elasticsearch
Lucene deprecated this in 4.0 and we only try best effort to support it.
Folks should only use edit distance rather than some length based
similarity. Yet the formular is simple enough such that users can
still do it in the client if they really need to.
Closes#10638
Change the default delayed allocation timeout from 0 (no delayed allocation) to 1m. The value came from a test of having a node with 50 shards being indexed into (so beefy translog requiring flush on shutdown), then shutting it down and starting it back up and waiting for it to join the cluster. This took, on a slow machine, about 30s.
The value is conservatively low and does not try to address a virtual machine / OS restart for now, in order to not have the affect of node going away and users being concerned that shards are not being allocated to the rest of the cluster as a result of that. The setting can always be changed in order to increase the delayed allocation if needed.

This PR is a simple doc patch to explicitly mention with an example of
how to create an alias using a glob pattern. This comes up from
time-to-time with our customers and in the community and although
mentioned in the documentation already, is not obvious.
Also mention that the alias will not auto-update as indices matching the
glob change.

ignore_above is used to guard against the lucene limitation
that a term cannot exceed 32766 bytes.
However, the implementation just used the character count, which
doesn't take into account the fact that some characters have
multi-byte utf-8 encodings.
This commit updates the docs to make this relationship clear.

Add support for retrieving fields in bulk updates
This commit adds support to retrieve fields when using the bulk update API. This functionality was previously available for the update API
but not for the bulk update API.
