This commit changes the default for the `track_total_hits` option of the search request
to `10,000`. This means that by default search requests will accurately track the total hit count
up to `10,000` documents, requests that match more than this value will set the `"total.relation"`
to `"gte"` (e.g. greater than or equals) and the `"total.value"` to `10,000` in the search response.
Scroll queries are not impacted, they will continue to count the total hits accurately.
The default is set back to `true` (accurate hit count) if `rest_total_hits_as_int` is set in the search request.
I choose `10,000` as the default because that's also the number we use to limit pagination. This means that users will be able to know how far they can jump (up to 10,000) even if the total number of hits is not accurate.
Closes#33028
Users may require the sequence number and primary terms to perform optimistic concurrency control operations. Currently, you can get the sequence number via the `docvalues_fields` API but the primary term is not accessible because it is maintained by the `SeqNoFieldMapper` and the infrastructure can't find it.
This commit adds a dedicated sub fetch phase to return both numbers that is connected to a new `seq_no_primary_term` parameter.
The "include_type_name" parameter was temporarily introduced in #37285 to facilitate
moving the default parameter setting to "false" in many places in the documentation
code snippets. Most of the places can simply be reverted without causing errors.
In this change I looked for asciidoc files that contained the
"include_type_name=true" addition when creating new indices but didn't look
likey they made use of the "_doc" type for mappings. This is mostly the case
e.g. in the analysis docs where index creating often only contains settings. I
manually corrected the use of types in some places where the docs still used an
explicit type name and not the dummy "_doc" type.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put mappings.
* Default include_type_name to false for get field mappings.
* Add a constant for the default include_type_name value.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put index templates.
* Default include_type_name to false for create index.
* Update create index calls in REST documentation to use include_type_name=true.
* Some minor clean-ups around the get index API.
* In REST tests, use include_type_name=true by default for index creation.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false'.
* Clarify the different IndexTemplateMetaData toXContent methods.
* Fix FullClusterRestartIT#testSnapshotRestore.
* Fix the ml_anomalies_default_mappings test.
* Fix GetFieldMappingsResponseTests and GetIndexTemplateResponseTests.
We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.
This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.
* Fix more REST tests.
* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.
* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.
* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.
* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false' in FullClusterRestartIT.
* Mention include_type_name in the REST templates docs.
In Lucene 8 searches can skip non-competitive hits if the total hit count is not requested.
It is also possible to track the number of hits up to a certain threshold. This is a trade off to speed up searches while still being able to know a lower bound of the total hit count. This change adds the ability to set this threshold directly in the track_total_hits search option. A boolean value (true, false) indicates whether the total hit count should be tracked in the response. When set as an integer this option allows to compute a lower bound of the total hits while preserving the ability to skip non-competitive hits when enough matches have been collected.

The following updates were made:
- Add a new untyped endpoint `{index}/_explain/{id}`.
- Add deprecation warnings to Rest*Action, plus tests in Rest*ActionTests.
- For each REST yml test, make sure there is one version without types, and another legacy version that retains types (called *_with_types.yml).
- Deprecate relevant methods on the Java HLRC requests/ responses.
- Update documentation (for both the REST API and Java HLRC).
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

This change adds a soft limit to open scroll contexts that can be controlled with the dynamic cluster setting `search.max_open_scroll_context` (defaults to 500).
Add a short extra sentence that explains that a missing query part in a search
request containing a "suggest" section will mean only suggestions are returned.
Closes#31640
* Deprecate types in count requests.
* Move RestCountAction to the 'search' package.
* Deprecate types in multi search requests.
* Add tests for types deprecation in the _search endpoint.
The documentation of `search_after` recommends to use the `_id`
field as a tiebreaker for the sort without warning against
the additional memory required. This change changes the recommandation
to use a copy of the `_id` field with doc_values enabled.
Deprecates `_source_include` and `_source_exclude` url parameters
in favor of `_source_inclues` and `_source_excludes` because those
are consistent with the rest of Elasticsearch's APIs.
Relates to #22792
* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
This change clarifies the documentation of the context completion suggester
regarding filtering and boosting with contexts.
Unlike the suggester v1, filtering on multiple contexts
works as a disjunction, a suggestion matches if it contains at least one of the provided
context values and boosting selects the maximum score among the matching contexts.
This commit also adapts an old test that was written for the v1 suggester and commented out
for version 2 because the behavior changed.
The main benefit of the upgrade for users is the search optimization for top scored documents when the total hit count is not needed. However this optimization is not activated in this change, there is another issue opened to discuss how it should be integrated smoothly.
Some comments about the change:
* Tests that can produce negative scores have been adapted but we need to forbid them completely: #33309Closes#32899
Global search timeouts and timeouts specified in the search request body use the
same internal mechanism as search cancellation. Therefore the same caveats
apply, mostly around the responsiveness of the timeout which gets only checked
by a running search on segment boundaries by default.
Closes#31263
This commit adds the support to early terminate the collection of a leaf
in the aggregation framework. This change introduces a MultiBucketCollector which
handles CollectionTerminatedException exactly like the Lucene MultiCollector.
Any aggregator can now throw a CollectionTerminatedException without stopping
the collection of a sibling aggregator. This is useful for aggregators that
can infer their result without visiting all documents (e.g.: a min/max aggregation on a match_all query).
* Search: Support of wildcard on docvalue_fields
For consistency with stored_fields, docvalue_fields should support the use of wildcards.
Documentation of doc values fields is updated accordingly.

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`).
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`.
Relates to #31877
The notion of "quality" is an overloaded term in the search ranking evaluation
context. Its usually used to decribe certain levels of "good" vs. "bad" of a
seach result with respect to the users information need. We currently report the
result of the ranking evaluation as `quality_level` which is a bit missleading.
This changes the response parameter name to `metric_score` which fits better.
Currently the ranking evaluation response contains a 'unknown_docs' section
for each search use case in the evaluation set. It contains document ids for
results in the search hits that currently don't have a quality rating.
This change renames it to `unrated_docs`, which better reflects its purpose.
Today it is unclear what guarantees are offered by the search preference
feature, and we claim a guarantee that is stronger than what we really offer:
> A custom value will be used to guarantee that the same shards will be used
> for the same custom value.
This commit clarifies this documentation.
Forward-port of #32098 to `master`.
Adds support for `ignore_unmapped` parameter in geo distance sorting,
which is functionally equivalent to specifying an `unmapped_type` in
the field sort.
Closes#28152
This change deprecates completion queries and documents without context that target a
context enabled completion field. Querying without context degrades the search
performance considerably (even when the number of indexed contexts is low).
This commit targets master but the deprecation will take place in 6.x and the functionality
will be removed in 7 in a follow up.
Closes#29222
This commit adds the ability to configure how a docvalue field should be
formatted, so that it would be possible eg. to return a date field
formatted as the number of milliseconds since Epoch.
Closes#27740
