Today we require users to prepare their indices for split operations.
Yet, we can do this automatically when an index is created which would
make the split feature a much more appealing option since it doesn't have
any 3rd party prerequisites anymore.
This change automatically sets the number of routinng shards such that
an index is guaranteed to be able to split once into twice as many shards.
The number of routing shards is scaled towards the default shard limit per index
such that indices with a smaller amount of shards can be split more often than
larger ones. For instance an index with 1 or 2 shards can be split 10x
(until it approaches 1024 shards) while an index created with 128 shards can only
be split 3x by a factor of 2. Please note this is just a default value and users
can still prepare their indices with `index.number_of_routing_shards` for custom
splitting.
NOTE: this change has an impact on the document distribution since we are changing
the hash space. Documents are still uniformly distributed across all shards but since
we are artificually changing the number of buckets in the consistent hashign space
document might be hashed into different shards compared to previous versions.
This is a 7.0 only change.
Add an index level setting `index.mapping.nested_objects.limit` to control
the number of nested json objects that can be in a single document
across all fields. Defaults to 10000.
Throw an error if the number of created nested documents exceed this
limit during the parsing of a document.
Closes#26962
Stardardize underscore requirements in parameters across different type of
requests:
_index, _type, _source, _id keep their underscores
params like version and retry_on_conflict will be without underscores
Throw an error if older versions of parameters are used
BulkRequest, MultiGetRequest, TermVectorcRequest, MoreLikeThisQuery
were changed
Closes#26886
Queries that create a scroll context cannot use the cache.
They modify the search context during their execution so using the cache
can lead to duplicate result for the next scroll query.
This change fails the entire request if the request_cache option is explictely set
on a query that creates a scroll context (`scroll=1m`) and make sure internally that we never
use the cache for these queries when the option is not explicitely used.
For 6.x a deprecation log will be printed instead of failing the entire request and the request_cache hint
will be ignored (forced to false).
Today all these API calls have a sideeffect of making documents visible
to search requests. While this is sometimes desired it's an unnecessary sideeffect
and now that we have an internal (engine-private) index reader (#26972) we artificially
add a refresh call for bwc. This change removes this sideeffect in 7.0.
The shard preference _primary, _replica and its variants were useful
for the asynchronous replication. However, with the current impl, they
are no longer useful and should be removed.
Closes#26335
Numeric fields no longer support the index_options parameter. This changes the parameter
to be rejected in numeric field types after it was deprecated in 6.0.
Closes#21475
Follow up for #23405.
We remove azure deprecated settings in 7.0:
* The legacy azure settings which where starting with `cloud.azure.storage.` prefix have been removed.
This includes `account`, `key`, `default` and `timeout`.
You need to use settings which are starting with `azure.client.` prefix instead.
* Global timeout setting `cloud.azure.storage.timeout` has been removed.
You must set it per azure client instead. Like `azure.client.default.timeout: 10s` for example.
* Remove the _all metadata field
This change removes the `_all` metadata field. This field is deprecated in 6
and cannot be activated for indices created in 6 so it can be safely removed in
the next major version (e.g. 7).
We use `:` for cross-cluster search (eg `cluster:index`), therefore, we should
not allow the ambiguity when allowing cluster or index names.
