* [ML] add new `custom` field to trained model processors (#59542)
This commit adds the new configurable field `custom`.
`custom` indicates if the preprocessor was submitted by a user or automatically created by the analytics job.
Eventually, this field will be used in calculating feature importance. When `custom` is true, the feature importance for
the processed fields is calculated. When `false` the current behavior is the same (we calculate the importance for the originating field/feature).
This also adds new required methods to the preprocessor interface. If users are to supply their own preprocessors
in the analytics job configuration, we need to know the input and output field names.
This adds a setting to data frame analytics jobs called
`max_number_threads`. The setting expects a positive integer.
When used the user specifies the max number of threads that may
be used by the analysis. Note that the actual number of threads
used is limited by the number of processors on the node where
the job is assigned. Also, the process may use a couple more threads
for operational functionality that is not the analysis itself.
This setting may also be updated for a stopped job.
More threads may reduce the time it takes to complete the job at the cost
of using more CPU.
Backport of #59254 and #57274
Adds parsing of `status` and `memory_reestimate_bytes`
to data frame analytics `memory_usage`. When the training surpasses
the model memory limit, the status will be set to `hard_limit` and
`memory_reestimate_bytes` can be used to update the job's
limit in order to restart the job.
Backport of #58588
When a local model is constructed, the cache hit miss count is incremented.
When a user calls _stats, we will include the sum cache hit miss count across ALL nodes. This statistic is important to in comparing against the inference_count. If the cache hit miss count is near the inference_count it indicates that the cache is overburdened, or inappropriately configured.
When we force delete a DF analytics job, we currently first force
stop it and then we proceed with deleting the job config.
This may result in logging errors if the job config is deleted
before it is retrieved while the job is starting.
Instead of force stopping the job, it would make more sense to
try to stop the job gracefully first. So we now try that out first.
If normal stop fails, then we resort to force stopping the job to
ensure we can go through with the delete.
In addition, this commit introduces `timeout` for the delete action
and makes use of it in the child requests.

* [ML] adds new for_export flag to GET _ml/inference API (#57351)
Adds a new boolean flag, `for_export` to the `GET _ml/inference/<model_id>` API.
This flag is useful for moving models between clusters.
Adds a "node" field to the response from the following endpoints:
1. Open anomaly detection job
2. Start datafeed
3. Start data frame analytics job
If the job or datafeed is assigned to a node immediately then
this field will return the ID of that node.
In the case where a job or datafeed is opened or started lazily
the node field will contain an empty string. Clients that want
to test whether a job or datafeed was opened or started lazily
can therefore check for this.
Backport of #55473
This paves the data layer way so that exceptionally large models are partitioned across multiple documents.
This change means that nodes before 7.8.0 will not be able to use trained inference models created on nodes on or after 7.8.0.
I chose the definition document limit to be 100. This *SHOULD* be plenty for any large model. One of the largest models that I have created so far had the following stats:
~314MB of inflated JSON, ~66MB when compressed, ~177MB of heap.
With the chunking sizes of `16 * 1024 * 1024` its compressed string could be partitioned to 5 documents.
Supporting models 20 times this size (compressed) seems adequate for now.
* [ML] adding prediction_field_type to inference config (#55128)
Data frame analytics dynamically determines the classification field type. This field type then dictates the encoded JSON that is written to Elasticsearch.
Inference needs to know about this field type so that it may provide the EXACT SAME predicted values as analytics.
Here is added a new field `prediction_field_type` which indicates the desired type. Options are: `string` (DEFAULT), `number`, `boolean` (where close_to(1.0) == true, false otherwise).
Analytics provides the default `prediction_field_type` when the model is created from the process.
* [ML] add new inference_config field to trained model config (#54421)
A new field called `inference_config` is now added to the trained model config object. This new field allows for default inference settings from analytics or some external model builder.
The inference processor can still override whatever is set as the default in the trained model config.
* fixing for backport
* [ML] prefer secondary authorization header for data[feed|frame] authz (#54121)
Secondary authorization headers are to be used to facilitate Kibana spaces support + ML jobs/datafeeds.
Now on PUT/Update/Preview datafeed, and PUT data frame analytics the secondary authorization is preferred over the primary (if provided).
closes https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/53801
* fixing for backport
Adds a new parameter for classification that enables choosing whether to assign labels to
maximise accuracy or to maximise the minimum class recall.
Fixes#52427.
* [ML][Inference] add tags url param to GET (#51330)
Adds a new URL parameter, `tags` to the GET _ml/inference/<model_id> endpoint.
This parameter allows the list of models to be further reduced to those who contain all the provided tags.
Object fields cannot be used as features. At the moment _explain
API includes them and even worse it allows it does not error when
an object field is excluded. This creates the expectation to the
user that all children fields will also be excluded while it's not
the case.
This commit omits object fields from the _explain API and also
adds an error if an object field is included or excluded.
Backport of #51115
The version replacement for the code snippet should replace 7.6 with the current version,
but doesn't match because of a missing whitespace.
Closes#51052
