Authorization Realms allow an authenticating realm to delegate the task
of constructing a User object (with name, roles, etc) to one or more
other realms.
E.g. A client could authenticate using PKI, but then delegate to an LDAP
realm. The LDAP realm performs a "lookup" by principal, and then does
regular role-mapping from the discovered user.
This commit includes:
- authorization_realm support in the pki, ldap, saml & kerberos realms
- docs for authorization_realms
- checks that there are no "authorization chains"
(whereby "realm-a" delegates to "realm-b", but "realm-b" delegates to "realm-c")
Authorization realms is a platinum feature.
Today we support a static list of seed hosts in core Elasticsearch, and allow a
dynamic list of seed hosts to be provided via a file using the `discovery-file`
plugin. In fact the ability to provide a dynamic list of seed hosts is
increasingly useful, so this change moves this functionality to core
Elasticsearch to avoid the need for a plugin.
Furthermore, in order to start up nodes in integration tests we currently
assign a known port to each node before startup, which unfortunately sometimes
fails if another process grabs the selected port in the meantime. By moving the
`discovery-file` functionality into the core product we can use it to avoid
this race.
This change also moves the expected path to the file from
`$ES_PATH_CONF/discovery-file/unicast_hosts.txt` to
`$ES_PATH_CONF/unicast_hosts.txt`. An example of this file is not included in
distributions.
For BWC purposes the plugin still exists, but does nothing more than create the
example file in the old location, and issue a warning when it is used. We also
continue to support the old location for the file, but warn about its
deprecation.

* ingest: Introduce the dissect processor
The ingest node dissect processor is an alternative to Grok
to split a string based on a pattern. Dissect differs from
Grok such that regular expressions are not used to split the
string.
Dissect can be used to parse a source text field with a
simpler pattern, and is often faster the Grok for basic string
parsing. This processor uses the dissect library which
does most of the work.

We used to set `maxScore` to `0` within `TopDocs` in situations where there is really no score as the size was set to `0` and scores were not even tracked. In such scenarios, `Float.Nan` is more appropriate, which gets converted to `max_score: null` on the REST layer. That's also more consistent with lucene which set `maxScore` to `Float.Nan` when merging empty `TopDocs` (see `TopDocs#merge`).
Currently docs don't explain how `ignore_above` behaves with arrays of
strings.
Clarify how `ignore_above` applies for arrays of strings and
also note that all string(s) will still be visible in the
`_source` field.

Today `_msearch` doesn't allow modifying the `max_concurrent_shard_requests`
per sub search request. This change adds support for setting this parameter on
all sub-search requests in an `_msearch`.

The main installation instructions page for the Windows MSI installer includes a header at the top to indicate that the installer is in beta, but the Installing Elasticsearch page does not. This commit adds the beta label to the MSI entry within the installation options.
The maximum map count boostrap check can be a hindrance to users that do
not own the underlying platform on which they are executing
Elasticsearch. This is because addressing it requires tuning the kernel
and a platform provider might now allow this, especially on shared
infrastructure. However, this bootstrap check is not needed if mmapfs is
not in use. Today we do not have a way for the user to communicate that
they are not going to use mmapfs. This commit therefore adds a setting
that enables the user to disallow mmapfs. When mmapfs is disallowed, the
maximum map count bootstrap check is not enforced. Additionally, we
fallback to a different default index store and prevent the explicit use
of mmapfs for an index.

This commit adds documentation for configuring Kerberos realm.
Configuring Kerberos realm documentation highlights important
terminology and requirements before creating Kerberos realm.
Most of the documentation is centered around configuration from
Elasticsearch rather than go deep into Kerberos implementation.
Kerberos realm settings are mentioned in the security settings
for Kerberos realm.
* Modified a reference to real time to match the previous line reference of
realtime.
* Modified eg to e.g. as it's an abbreviation for the latin exempli gratia
* Added missing pronoun to `_executing_filters` section.
Currently, if geo context is represented by something other than
geo_point or an object with lat and lon fields, the parsing of it
as a geo context can result in ignoring the context altogether,
returning confusing errors such as number_format_exception or trying
to parse the number specifying as long-encoded hash code. It would also
fail if the geo_point was stored.
This commit makes the mapping parsing more strict and will fail during
mapping update or index creation if the geo context doesn't point to
a geo_point field.

It took me quite a while of online searching and experimenting to realize the function-call asymmetry in the Add versus Remove from a list, like the "tags" list! I realize we cannot give examples for every single thing the user wants to do in Painless, but this is such a common use case (removing a tag from a single doc, or from a set of docs with Update-By-Query) that I believe it ought to be demonstrated immediately after the "add a tag" example. We have an example of removing an entire document field, but not removing one element of a list (a multi-valued field).
Also, a minor grammar fix: I have added an apostrophe to the word "its" in the accompanying text of the example just above.
The docs here incorrectly state that it is okay for a heap dump file to
exist when heap dump path is configured to a fixed filename. This is
incorrect, the JVM will fail to write the heap dump if a heap dump file
already exists at the specified location (see the DumpWriter constructor
DumpWriter::DumpWriter(const char* path) in the JVM source).
Suggestion responses were previously serialized as streamables which
made writing suggesters in plugins with custom suggestion response types
impossible. This commit makes them serialized as named writeables and
provides a facility for registering a reader for suggestion responses
when registering a suggester.
This also makes Suggestion responses abstract, requiring a suggester
implementation to provide its own types. Suggesters which do not need
anything additional to what is defined in Suggest.Suggestion should
provide a minimal subclass.
The existing plugin suggester integration tests are removed and
replaced with an equivalent implementation as an example
plugin.
On some Linux distributions tmpfiles.d cleans files and
directories under /tmp if they haven't been accessed for
10 days.
This can cause problems for ML as ML is currently the only
component that uses the temp directory more than a few
seconds after startup. If you didn't open an ML job for
10 days and then tried to open one then the temp directory
would have been deleted.
This commit prevents the problem occurring in the case of
Elasticsearch being managed by systemd, as systemd private
temp directories are not subject to periodic cleanup (by
default).
Additionally there are now some docs to warn people about
the risk and suggest a manual mitigation for .tar.gz users.
