Today when we run out of disk all kinds of crazy things can happen
and nodes are becoming hard to maintain once out of disk is hit.
While we try to move shards away if we hit watermarks this might not
be possible in many situations. Based on the discussion in #24299
this change monitors disk utilization and adds a flood-stage watermark
that causes all indices that are allocated on a node hitting the flood-stage
mark to be switched read-only (with the option to be deleted). This allows users to react on the low disk
situation while subsequent write requests will be rejected. Users can switch
individual indices read-write once the situation is sorted out. There is no
automatic read-write switch once the node has enough space. This requires
user interaction.
The flood-stage watermark is set to `95%` utilization by default.
Closes#24299

Currently QueryParseContext is only a thin wrapper around an XContentParser that
adds little functionality of its own. I provides helpers for long deprecated
field names which can be removed and two helper methods that can be made static
and moved to other classes. This is a first step in helping to remove
QueryParseContext entirely.
Expand `/_cat/nodes` with already present information about available disk space `diskAvail` (alias: `d`, `disk`) by:
* `diskTotal` (alias `dt`): total disk space
* `diskUsed` (alias `du`): used disk space (`diskTotal - diskAvail`)
* `diskUsedPercent` (alias `dup`): used disk space percentage
Note: The available disk space is the number of bytes available to the node's Java virtual machine. The size might be smaller than the real one. That means the used disk space (percentage) is larger.

We previously tried to maintain (while not formally supporting) 32-bit

of 32-bit support.

#25147 added the translog deletion policy but didn't enable it by default. This PR enables a default retention of 512MB (same maximum size of the current translog) and an age of 12 hours (i.e., after 12 hours all translog files will be deleted). This increases to chance to have an ops based recovery, even if the primary flushed or the replica was offline for a few hours.
In order to see which parts of the translog are committed into lucene the translog stats are extended to include information about uncommitted operations.
Views now include all translog ops and guarantee, as before, that those will not go away. Snapshotting a view allows to filter out generations that are not relevant based on a specific sequence number.

With #23997 we have introduced a new internal index option that allows to resolve index expressions only against concrete indices while ignoring aliases. Such index option was applied to IndicesAliasesRequest, so that the index part of alias actions would only be resolved against concrete indices.
Same is done in this commit with delete index request. Deleting aliases has always been confusing as some users expect it to only remove the alias from the index (which has its own specific API). Even worse, in case of filtered aliases, deleting an alias may leave users with the expectation that only the documents that match the filter are deleted, which was never the case. To address all this confusion, delete index api works now only against concrete indices. WIldcard expressions will be only resolved against concrete index, as if aliases didn't exist. If one tries to delete against an alias, an IndexNotFoundException will be thrown regardless of whether the alias exists or not, as a concrete index with such a name doesn't exist.

This snapshot has faster range queries on range fields (LUCENE-7828), more
accurate norms (LUCENE-7730) and the ability to use fake term frequencies
(LUCENE-7854).
Expose the experimental simplepattern and
simplepatternsplit tokenizers in the common
analysis plugin. They provide tokenization based
on regular expressions, using Lucene's
deterministic regex implementation that is usually
faster than Java's and has protections against
creating too-deep stacks during matching.
Both have a not-very-useful default pattern of the
empty string because all tokenizer factories must
be able to be instantiated at index creation time.
They should always be configured by the user
in practice.

This commit adds back "id" as the key within a script to specify a
stored script (which with file scripts now gone is no longer ambiguous).
It also adds "source" as a replacement for "code". This is in an attempt
to normalize how scripts are specified across both put stored scripts and script usages, including search template requests. This also deprecates the old inline/stored keys.
This change removes the `postings` highlighter. This highlighter has been removed from Lucene master (7.x) because it behaves
exactly like the `unified` highlighter when index_options is set to `offsets`:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7815
It also makes the `unified` highlighter the default choice for highlighting a field (if `type` is not provided).
The strategy used internally by this highlighter remain the same as before, it checks `term_vectors` first, then `postings` and ultimately it re-analyzes the text.
Ultimately it rewrites the docs so that the options that the `unified` highlighter cannot handle are clearly marked as such.
There are few features that the `unified` highlighter is not able to handle which is why the other highlighters (`plain` and `fvh`) are still available.
I'll open separate issues for these features and we'll deprecate the `fvh` and `plain` highlighters when full support for these features have been added to the `unified`.

This commit refactors the query phase in order to be able
to automatically detect queries that can be early terminated.
If the index sort matches the query sort, the top docs collection is early terminated
on each segment and the computing of the total number of hits that match the query is delegated to a simple TotalHitCountCollector.
This change also adds a new parameter to the search request called `track_total_hits`.
It indicates if the total number of hits that match the query should be tracked.
If false, queries sorted by the index sort will not try to compute this information and
and will limit the collection to the first N documents per segment.
Aggregations are not impacted and will continue to see every document
even when the index sort matches the query sort and `track_total_hits` is false.

During package install on systemd-based systems, some sysctl settings
should be set (e.g. vm.max_map_count).
In some environments, changing sysctl settings plainly does not work;
previously a global environment variable named
ES_SKIP_SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS was introduced to skip calling sysctl, but
this causes trouble for:
- configuration management systems, which usually cannot apply an env
var when running a package manager
- package upgrades, which will not have the env var set any more, and
thus leaving the package management system in a bad state (possibly
half-way upgraded, can be very hard to recover)
This removes the env var again and instead of calling systemd-sysctl
manually, tells systemd to restart the wrapper unit - which itself can
be masked by system administrators or management tools if it is known
that sysctl does not work in a given environment.
The restart is not silent on systems in their default configuration, but
is ignored if the unit is masked.

Some response classes in the java api expose both `getTook()` which returns a `TimeValue` and `getTookInMillis` which returns a `long` value. `getTook()` is enough as one can do `getTook().millis()` to obtain the same result as `getTookInMillis()`, which can be removed.
* Adds nodes usage API to monitor usages of actions
The nodes usage API has 2 main endpoints

At the moment only one type of usage statistics is available, the REST
actions usage. This records the number of times each REST action class is
called and when the nodes usage api is called will return a map of rest

Adds a "magic" key to the yaml testing stash mostly for use with
documentation tests. When unstashing an object, `$_path` is the
path into the current position in the object you are unstashing.
This means that in docs tests you can use
`// TESTRESPONSEs/somevalue/$body.${_path}/` to mean "replace
`somevalue` with whatever is the response in the same position."
Compare how you must carefully mock out all the numbers in the profile

Currently a `delete document` request against a non-existing index actually **creates** this index.
With this change the `delete document` no longer creates the previously non-existing index and throws an `index_not_found` exception instead.
However as discussed in https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/15451#issuecomment-165772026, if an external version is explicitly used, the current behavior is preserved and the index is still created and the document is marked for deletion.

This PR adds a new thread pool type: `fixed_auto_queue_size`. This thread pool
behaves like a regular `fixed` threadpool, except that every
`auto_queue_frame_size` operations (default: 10,000) in the thread pool,
[Little's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little's_law) is calculated and
used to adjust the pool's `queue_size` either up or down by 50. A minimum and
maximum is taken into account also. When the min and max are the same value, a
regular fixed executor is used instead.
The `SEARCH` threadpool is changed to use this new type of thread pool. However,
the min and max are both set to 1000, meaning auto adjustment is opt-in rather
than opt-out.

In scripts (at least some of the languages), the terms dictionary and
postings can be access with the special _index variable. This is for
very advanced use cases which want to do their own scoring. The problem
is segment level statistics must be recomputed for every document.
Additionally, this is not friendly to the terms index caching as the
order of looking up terms should be controlled by lucene.
This change removes _index from scripts. Anyone using it can and should
instead write a Similarity plugin, which is explicitly designed to allow
doing the calculations needed for a relevance score.

Today when an index is `read-only` the index is also blocked from
being deleted which sometimes is undesired since in-order to make
changes to a cluster indices must be deleted to free up space. This is
a likely scenario in a hosted environment when disk-space is limited to switch
indices read-only but allow deletions to free up space.
Our strong recommendation is disabling swap over any other alternative
to avoid the JVM from landing on disk. This commit clarifies the docs in
this regard.
This commit documents how to write a `ScriptEngine` in order to use
expert internal apis, such as using Lucene directly to find index term

This commit adds support for histogram and date_histogram agg compound order by refactoring and reusing terms agg order code. The major change is that the Terms.Order and Histogram.Order classes have been replaced/refactored into a new class BucketOrder. This is a breaking change for the Java Transport API. For backward compatibility with previous ES versions the (date)histogram compound order will use the first order. Also the _term and _time aggregation order keys have been deprecated; replaced by _key.
Relates to #20003: now that all these aggregations use the same order code, it should be easier to move validation to parse time (as a follow up PR).
Relates to #14771: histogram and date_histogram aggregation order will now be validated at reduce time.
Closes#23613: if a single BucketOrder that is not a tie-breaker is added with the Java Transport API, it will be converted into a CompoundOrder with a tie-breaker.
Currently, the get snapshots API (e.g. /_snapshot/{repositoryName}/_all)
provides information about snapshots in the repository, including the
snapshot state, number of shards snapshotted, failures, etc. In order
to provide information about each snapshot in the repository, the call
must read the snapshot metadata blob (`snap-{snapshot_uuid}.dat`) for
every snapshot. In cloud-based repositories, this can be expensive,
both from a cost and performance perspective. Sometimes, all the user
wants is to retrieve all the names/uuids of each snapshot, and the
indices that went into each snapshot, without any of the other status
information about the snapshot. This minimal information can be
retrieved from the repository index blob (`index-N`) without needing to
read each snapshot metadata blob.
This commit enhances the get snapshots API with an optional `verbose`
parameter. If `verbose` is set to false on the request, then the get
snapshots API will only retrieve the minimal information about each
snapshot (the name, uuid, and indices in the snapshot), and only read
this information from the repository index blob, thereby giving users
the option to retrieve the snapshots in a repository in a more
cost-effective and efficient manner.
Closes#24288
Now that indices have a single type by default, we can move to the next step
and identify documents using their `_id` rather than the `_uid`.
One notable change in this commit is that I made deletions implicitly create
types. This helps with the live version map in the case that documents are
deleted before the first type is introduced. Otherwise there would be no way
to differenciate `DELETE index/foo/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1` from
`DELETE index/bar/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1`, even though those are
different if versioning is involved.
This commit adds support for indexing and searching a new ip_range field type. Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are supported. Tests are updated and docs are added.
`_search_shards`API today only returns aliases names if there is an alias
filter associated with one of them. Now it can be useful to see which aliases
have been expanded for an index given the index expressions. This change also includes non-filtering aliases even without a filtering alias being present.
Adds CONSOLE to cross-cluster-search docs but skips them for testing

Which is better than we had before.

Today we go to heroic lengths to workaround bugs in the JDK or around
issues like BSD jails to get information about the underlying file
store. For example, we went to lengths to work around a JDK bug where
the file store returned would incorrectly report whether or not a path
is writable in certain situations in Windows operating
systems. Another bug prevented getting file store information on
Windows on a virtual drive on Windows. We no longer need to work
around these bugs, we could simply try to write to disk and let an I/O
exception arise if we could not write to the disk or take advantage of
the fact that these bugs are fixed in recent releases of the JDK
(e.g., the file store bug is fixed since 8u72). Additionally, we
collected information about all file stores on the system which meant
that if the user had a stale NFS mount, Elasticsearch could hang and
fail on startup if that mount point was not available. Finally, we
collected information through Lucene about whether or not a disk was a
spinning disk versus an SSD, information that we do not need since we
assume SSDs by default. This commit takes into consideration that we
simply do not need this heroic effort, we do not need information
about all file stores, and we do not need information about whether or
not a disk spins to greatly simplfy file store handling.

We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.
Some notes about the change:
- it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
- it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
- two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
The docs don't clearly explain that the deleted doc count also comes from lucene.
IMHO, it is worth highlighting this information separately, as a Note.
Apart from that, there should be an official recommended alternative as well.
Today Elasticsearch allows default settings to be used only if the
actual setting is not set. These settings are trappy, and the complexity

exception of default.path.data, default.path.conf, and default.path.logs
which are maintainted to support packaging. A follow-up will remove
support for these as well.

Now that we have incremental reduce functions for topN and aggregations
we can set the default for `action.search.shard_count.limit` to unlimited.
This still allows users to restrict these settings while by default we executed
across all shards matching the search requests index pattern.
_field_stats has evolved quite a lot to become a multi purpose API capable of retrieving the field capabilities and the min/max value for a field.
In the mean time a more focused API called `_field_caps` has been added, this enpoint is a good replacement for _field_stats since he can
retrieve the field capabilities by just looking at the field mapping (no lookup in the index structures).
Also the recent improvement made to range queries makes the _field_stats API obsolete since this queries are now rewritten per shard based on the min/max found for the field.
This means that a range query that does not match any document in a shard can return quickly and can be cached efficiently.
For these reasons this change deprecates _field_stats. The deprecation should happen in 5.4 but we won't remove this API in 6.x yet which is why
this PR is made directly to 6.0.
The rest tests have also been adapted to not throw an error while this change is backported to 5.4.
This commit removes some leniency from the plugin service which skips

They needed to be updated now that Painless is the default and
the non-sandboxed scripting languages are going away or gone.
I dropped the entire section about customizing the classloader
whitelists. In master this barely does anything (exposes more
things to expressions).
Before now ranges where forbidden, because the percolator query itself could get cached and then the percolator queries with now ranges that should no longer match, incorrectly will continue to match.
By disabling caching when the `percolator` is being used, the percolator can now correctly support range queries with now based ranges.
I think this is the right tradeoff. The percolator query is likely to not be the same between search requests and disabling range queries with now ranges really disabled people using the percolator for their use cases.
Also fixed an issue that existed in the percolator fieldmapper, it was unable to find forbidden queries inside `dismax` queries.
Closes#23859
While there are use-cases where a single-node is in production, there
are also use-cases for starting a single-node that binds transport to an
external interface where the node is not in production (for example, for
testing the transport client against a node started in a Docker
container). It's tricky to balance the desire to always enforce the
bootstrap checks when a node might be in production with the need for
the community to perform testing in situations that would trip the
bootstrap checks. This commit enables some flexibility for these
users. By setting the discovery type to "single-node", we disable the
bootstrap checks independently of how transport is bound. While this
sounds like a hole in the bootstrap checks, the bootstrap checks can
already be avoided in the single-node use-case by binding only HTTP but
not transport. For users that are genuinely in production on a
single-node use-case with transport bound to an external use-case, they
can set the system property "es.enable.bootstrap.checks" to force
running the bootstrap checks. It would be a mistake for them not to do
this.

Fielddata can no longer be configured to be loaded eagerly (it only accepts

The pattern-analyzer docs contained a snippet that was an expanded

`[source,regex]`.
The htmlstrip-charfilter and pattern-replace-charfilter docs had
examples that were actually a list of tokens but marked `[source,js]`.
This marks them as `[source,text]` so they don't count as unconverted
CONSOLE snippets.
The pattern-replace-charfilter also had a doc who's test was
skipped because of funny interaction with the test framework. This
fixes the test.

This change introduces a new API called `_field_caps` that allows to retrieve the capabilities of specific fields.
Example:
````
GET t,s,v,w/_field_caps?fields=field1,field2
````
... returns:
````
{
"fields": {
"field1": {
"string": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": true
}
},
"field2": {
"keyword": {
"searchable": false,
"aggregatable": true,
"non_searchable_indices": ["t"]
"indices": ["t", "s"]
},
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": false,
"non_aggregatable_indices": ["v"]
"indices": ["v", "w"]
}
}
}
}
````
In this example `field1` have the same type `text` across the requested indices `t`, `s`, `v`, `w`.
Conversely `field2` is defined with two conflicting types `keyword` and `long`.
Note that `_field_caps` does not treat this case as an error but rather return the list of unique types seen for this field.
I managed to push the last one without testing it because I'd changed
the way I run tests locally and hadn't picked it up. Ooops. This one
works better.
All the docs for the `exists` query that aren't marked as `CONSOLE`
aren't actually `CONSOLE`-worthy so this marks them as `NOTCONSOLE`.
It also rewrites the text around `missing` query. Since it was
removed in 5.0 we don't need to talk about it in the 6.0 docs.

This commit adds support for the pattern keyword marker filter in
Lucene. Previously, the keyword marker filter in Elasticsearch
supported specifying a keywords set or a path to a set of keywords.
This commit exposes the regular expression pattern based keyword marker
filter also available in Lucene, so that any token matching the pattern
specified by the `keywords_pattern` setting is excluded from being
stemmed by any stemming filters.

As the query of a search request defaults to match_all,
calling _delete_by_query without an explicit query may
result in deleting all data.
In order to protect users against falling into that
pitfall, this commit adds a check to require the explicit
setting of a query.
Closes#23629
This commit adds the boolean similarity scoring from Lucene to
Elasticsearch. The boolean similarity provides a means to specify that
a field should not be scored with typical full-text ranking algorithms,
but rather just whether the query terms match the document or not.
Boolean similarity scores a query term equal to its query boost only.
Boolean similarity is available as a default similarity option and thus
a field can be specified to have boolean similarity by declaring in its
mapping:
"similarity": "boolean"

The OpenJDK project provides early-access builds of upcoming
releases. These early-access builds are not suitable for

This is especially useful when we rewrite the query because the result of the rewrite can be very different on different shards. See #18254 for example.
* Add support for fragment_length in the unified highlighter
This commit introduce a new break iterator (a BoundedBreakIterator) designed for the unified highlighter
that is able to limit the size of fragments produced by generic break iterator like `sentence`.
The `unified` highlighter now supports `boundary_scanner` which can `words` or `sentence`.
The `sentence` mode will use the bounded break iterator in order to limit the size of the sentence to `fragment_length`.
When sentences bigger than `fragment_length` are produced, this mode will break the sentence at the next word boundary **after**
`fragment_length` is reached.
The reindex API is mature now, and we will work to maintain backwards

In SI units, "kilobyte" or "kB" would mean 1000 bytes, whereas "KiB" is

meaning in Elasticsearch.
This commit adds a system property that enables end-users to explicitly
enforce the bootstrap checks, independently of the binding of the
transport protocol. This can be useful for single-node production
systems that do not bind the transport protocol (and thus the bootstrap
checks would not be enforced).

This commit adds the size of the cluster state to the response for the
get cluster state API call (GET /_cluster/state). The size that is
returned is the size of the full cluster state in bytes when compressed.
This is the same size of the full cluster state when serialized to
transmit over the network. Specifying the ?human flag displays the
compressed size in a more human friendly manner. Note that even if the
cluster state request filters items from the cluster state (so a subset
of the cluster state is returned), the size that is returned is the
compressed size of the entire cluster state.

This commit brings the snapshot documentation in conformity

When nested objects are present in the mappings, many queries get deoptimized
due to the need to exclude documents that are not in the right space. For
instance, a filter is applied to all queries that prevents them from matching
non-root documents (`+*:* -_type:__*`). Moreover, a filter is applied to all
child queries of `nested` queries in order to make sure that the child query
only matches child documents (`_type:__nested_path`), which is required by
`ToParentBlockJoinQuery` (the Lucene query behing Elasticsearch's `nested`
queries).
These additional filters slow down `nested` queries. In 1.7-, the cost was
somehow amortized by the fact that we cached filters very aggressively. However,
this has proven to be a significant source of slow downs since 2.0 for users
of `nested` mappings and queries, see #20797.
This change makes the filtering a bit smarter. For instance if the query is a
`match_all` query, then we need to exclude nested docs. However, if the query
is `foo: bar` then it may only match root documents since `foo` is a top-level
field, so no additional filtering is required.
Another improvement is to use a `FILTER` clause on all types rather than a
`MUST_NOT` clause on all nested paths when possible since `FILTER` clauses
are more efficient.
Here are some examples of queries and how they get rewritten:
```
"match_all": {}
```
This query gets rewritten to `ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*)` on master and
`ConstantScore(_type:AutomatonQuery {\norg.apache.lucene.util.automaton.Automaton@4371da44})`
with this change. The automaton is the complement of `_type:__*` so it matches
the same documents, but is faster since it is now a positive clause. Simplistic
performance testing on a 10M index where each root document has 5 nested
documents on average gave a latency of 420ms on master and 90ms with this change
applied.
```
"term": {
"foo": {
"value": "0"
}
}
```
This query is rewritten to `+foo:0 #(ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*))^0.0` on
master and `foo:0` with this change: we do not need to filter nested docs out
since the query cannot match nested docs. While doing performance testing in
the same conditions as above, response times went from 250ms to 50ms.
```
"nested": {
"path": "nested",
"query": {
"term": {
"nested.foo": {
"value": "0"
}
}
}
}
```
This query is rewritten to
`+ToParentBlockJoinQuery (+nested.foo:0 #_type:__nested) #(ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*))^0.0`
on master and `ToParentBlockJoinQuery (nested.foo:0)` with this change. The
top-level filter (`-_type:__*`) could be removed since `nested` queries only
match documents of the parent space, as well as the child filter
(`#_type:__nested`) since the child query may only match nested docs since the
`nested` object has both `include_in_parent` and `include_in_root` set to
`false`. While doing performance testing in the same conditions as above,
response times went from 850ms to 270ms.
This pull request reuses the typed_keys parameter added in #22965, but this time it applies it to suggesters. When set to true, the suggester names in the search response will be prefixed with a prefix that reflects their type.
