The bin/plugin script now uses the default CONF_DIR & CONF_FILE environment vars. This allows to install a plugin even if Elasticsearch has been installed with a RPM or a DEB package. This commit also adds testing files for TAR archive and plugins installation.
Closes#10673
Many scripts are used to start/stop and install/uninstall elasticsearch. These scripts share a lot of configuration properties like directory paths, max value for a setting, default user etc. Most of the values are identical but some of them are different depending of the platform (Debian-based or Redhat-based OS), depending of the way elasticsearch is started (shell script, systemd, sysv-init...) or the way it is installed (zip, rpm, deb...). Today the values are duplicated in multiple places, making it difficult to maintain the scripts or to update a value.
This pull request make this more uniform: values used in scripts must be defined in a common packaging.properties file. Each value can be overridden in another specific packaging.properties file for Debian or Redhat. All startup and installation scripts are filtered with the common then the custom packaging.properties files before being packaged as a zip/tar.gz/rpm/dpkf archive.
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.

On Windows platforms when JAVA_HOME is not defined, a message is printed on standard output and the bat script is paused until the user press a key. This behavior is not compliant to automated processes where elasticsearch.bat can be executed by another script. This commit adds a new parameter --silent / -s that allow to skip the pause. Also, the error message is directed to standard and error outputs.
Closes#8913
This change adds command line help for all options to the es start script.
Both '-h' and '--help' options are accepted.
Also, an endless busy loop in the long options parser was fixed: running the
script with a long opt parameter w/o value (e.g. "elasticsearch --buuuurrrnn")
the long option parser would end up in an endless busy loop.

As that environment variable can contain elasticsearch specific configuration
like the path to a configuration, it makes sense to support in both
elasticsearch commands.
Closes#8288
Break-out common functionality between elasticsearch.bat and service.bat
Relates #8237
(cherry picked from commit 87095e79534bcef97b2b275322c924bd96b34e3b)
With this change, the elasticsearch script can be linked to another path
without having to set ES_INCLUDE to match the installation path.
Previously, the elasticsearch would find ES_HOME correctly even if linked
but could not find the include script, and finding it would be expected
behavior to me based on its current search path.
Closes#4958
When launching multiple nodes in MS Windows env, batch command window does not come by default with any title.
This patch add `Elasticsearch VERSION` as a title, where VERSION is the current elasticsearch version.
Same for `plugin.bat` and `service.bat`.

We don't rely upon GC to cleanup mappedbytebuffers, we unmap them
explicitly on close in lucene. But the JDK has crazy loops with
explicit GCs in exceptional cases to try to force unmapping.
In general we don't want any of our code or library code calling
this method: so its banned in forbidden-apis as well.
Because the NetworkExceptionHelper class relies on the english language in
order to extract information and decide whether a certain exception is a
network problem, we need to set the english locale on startup in order
to prevent other locales to circumvent this check.

Instead of using the '-f' parameter to start elasticsearch in the
foreground, this is now the default modus.
In order to start elasticsearch in the background, the '-d' parameter
can be used.

Before, people that cloned the repo and expected to be able to run
bin/elasticsearch would be met with an awful shell error: the shell
interprets Maven variables like ${project.build.finalName} as shell
variables yet can't handle names of the form ${x.y}. This commit
explicitly checks to make sure that Maven has done its substitutions
before continuing; if Maven hasn't been run, it gives a helpful error
message.
Fixes#2954.

Dynamic mapping allow to dynamically introduce new fields into an existing mapping. There is a (pretty rare) race condition, where a new field/object being introduced will not be immediately visible for another document that introduces it at the same time.

There is no need to write the pidfile in the bin/elasticsearchshell script
as this happens already in the java code.
Also cleaning up the bin/elasticsearch shell script a bit (no need to return
an error code when exec is called, as this forks and exits the shell script
immediately).
Closes#3529Closes#1745
Currently the bin/plugin command did not allow one to set jvm parameters
for startup. Usually this parameters are not needed (no need to configure
heap sizes for such a short running process), but one could not set the
configuration path. And that one is important for plugins in order find
out, where the plugin directory is.
This is especially problematic when elasticsearch is installed as
debian/rpm package, because the configuration file is not placed in the
same directory structure the plugin shell script is put.
This pull request allows to call bin/plugin like this
bin/plugin -Des.default.config=/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml -install mobz/elasticsearch-head
As a last small improvement, the PluginManager now outputs the directort
the plugin was installed to in order to avoid confusion.
Closes#3304
This decision helps people who want to rollout the oracle java without having an openjdk java installed.
* Removed any hard dependency on Java in the debian package
* The debian init script does not check for an existing JAVA_HOME anymore
* Debian and RedHat initscripts now exit if they do not find a java binary (instead of starting elasticsearch in the background and swallowing the error as there is no way to log it in that case)
* Changed the debian init script to rely on the pid file instead of the argument name of process
* Added a useful error message in case no java binary is available (in elasticsearch shell script)
Closes#3304Closes#3311
It's easier to manage a configuration through environment variables than
through a config file if that config file has static values that need to
change each version (such as the ES_CLASSPATH). Trying to keep that in
Chef is tedious whereas just controlling these few settings with
environment variables like most of the other settings in here is simple
and straightforward.
