* Add Snapshot Lifecycle Management (#43934)
* Add SnapshotLifecycleService and related CRUD APIs
This commit adds `SnapshotLifecycleService` as a new service under the ilm
plugin. This service handles snapshot lifecycle policies by scheduling based on
the policies defined schedule.
This also includes the get, put, and delete APIs for these policies
Relates to #38461
* Make scheduledJobIds return an immutable set
* Use Object.equals for SnapshotLifecyclePolicy
* Remove unneeded TODO
* Implement ToXContentFragment on SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem
* Copy contents of the scheduledJobIds
* Handle snapshot lifecycle policy updates and deletions (#40062)
(Note this is a PR against the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` feature branch)
This adds logic to `SnapshotLifecycleService` to handle updates and deletes for
snapshot policies. Policies with incremented versions have the old policy
cancelled and the new one scheduled. Deleted policies have their schedules
cancelled when they are no longer present in the cluster state metadata.

* Take a snapshot for the policy when the SLM policy is triggered (#40383)
(This is a PR for the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
This commit fills in `SnapshotLifecycleTask` to actually perform the
snapshotting when the policy is triggered. Currently there is no handling of the
results (other than logging) as that will be added in subsequent work.
This also adds unit tests and an integration test that schedules a policy and
ensures that a snapshot is correctly taken.
Relates to #38461
* Record most recent snapshot policy success/failure (#40619)
Keeping a record of the results of the successes and failures will aid
troubleshooting of policies and make users more confident that their
snapshots are being taken as expected.
This is the first step toward writing history in a more permanent
fashion.
* Validate snapshot lifecycle policies (#40654)
(This is a PR against the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
With the commit, we now validate the content of snapshot lifecycle policies when
the policy is being created or updated. This checks for the validity of the id,
name, schedule, and repository. Additionally, cluster state is checked to ensure
that the repository exists prior to the lifecycle being added to the cluster
state.
Part of #38461
* Hook SLM into ILM's start and stop APIs (#40871)
(This pull request is for the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
This change allows the existing `/_ilm/stop` and `/_ilm/start` APIs to also
manage snapshot lifecycle scheduling. When ILM is stopped all scheduled jobs are
cancelled.

* Add tests for SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem (#40912)
Adds serialization tests for SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem.
* Fix improper import in build.gradle after master merge
* Add human readable version of modified date for snapshot lifecycle policy (#41035)
* Add human readable version of modified date for snapshot lifecycle policy
This small change changes it from:
```
...
"modified_date": 1554843903242,
...
```
To
```
...
"modified_date" : "2019-04-09T21:05:03.242Z",
"modified_date_millis" : 1554843903242,
...
```
Including the `"modified_date"` field when the `?human` field is used.

* Fix test
* Add API to execute SLM policy on demand (#41038)
This commit adds the ability to perform a snapshot on demand for a policy. This
can be useful to take a snapshot immediately prior to performing some sort of
maintenance.
```json
PUT /_ilm/snapshot/<policy>/_execute
```
And it returns the response with the generated snapshot name:
```json
{
"snapshot_name" : "production-snap-2019.04.09-rfyv3j9qreixkdbnfuw0ug"
}
```
Note that this does not allow waiting for the snapshot, and the snapshot could
still fail. It *does* record this information into the cluster state similar to
a regularly trigged SLM job.
Relates to #38461
* Add next_execution to SLM policy metadata (#41221)
* Add next_execution to SLM policy metadata
This adds the next time a snapshot lifecycle policy will be executed when
retriving a policy's metadata, for example:
```json

"version" : 1,
"modified_date" : "2019-04-15T21:16:21.865Z",
"modified_date_millis" : 1555362981865,
"policy" : {
"name" : "<production-snap-{now/d}>",
"schedule" : "*/30 * * * * ?",
"repository" : "repo",
"config" : {
"indices" : [
"foo-*",
"important"
],
"ignore_unavailable" : true,
"include_global_state" : false
}
},
"next_execution" : "2019-04-15T21:16:30.000Z",
"next_execution_millis" : 1555362990000
},
"other" : {
"version" : 1,
"modified_date" : "2019-04-15T21:12:19.959Z",
"modified_date_millis" : 1555362739959,
"policy" : {
"name" : "<other-snap-{now/d}>",
"schedule" : "0 30 2 * * ?",
"repository" : "repo",
"config" : {
"indices" : [
"other"
],
"ignore_unavailable" : false,
"include_global_state" : true
}
},
"next_execution" : "2019-04-16T02:30:00.000Z",
"next_execution_millis" : 1555381800000
}

* Add `manage_slm` and `read_slm` roles
This adds two more built in roles -
`manage_slm` which has permission to perform any of the SLM actions, as well as

`read_slm` which has permission to retrieve snapshot lifecycle policies as well
as retrieving the operation status of ILM.
Relates to #38461
* Add execute to the test
* Fix ilm -> slm typo in test
* Record SLM history into an index (#41707)
It is useful to have a record of the actions that Snapshot Lifecycle
Management takes, especially for the purposes of alerting when a
snapshot fails or has not been taken successfully for a certain amount of
time.
This adds the infrastructure to record SLM actions into an index that
can be queried at leisure, along with a lifecycle policy so that this
history does not grow without bound.
Additionally,
SLM automatically setting up an index + lifecycle policy leads to
`index_lifecycle` custom metadata in the cluster state, which some of
the ML tests don't know how to deal with due to setting up custom
`NamedXContentRegistry`s. Watcher would cause the same problem, but it
is already disabled (for the same reason).

This commit documents the backup and restore of a cluster's
security configuration.
It is not possible to only backup (or only restore) security
configuration, independent to the rest of the cluster's conf,
so this describes how a full configuration backup&restore
will include security as well. Moreover, it explains how part
of the security conf data resides on the special .security
index and how to backup that using regular data snapshot API.

Clarifies the roles of a dedicated voting-only master-eligible node.
Co-Authored-By: James Rodewig <james.rodewig@elastic.co>
Co-Authored-By: David Turner <david.turner@elastic.co>
A voting-only master-eligible node is a node that can participate in master elections but will not act
as a master in the cluster. In particular, a voting-only node can help elect another master-eligible
node as master, and can serve as a tiebreaker in elections. High availability (HA) clusters require at
least three master-eligible nodes, so that if one of the three nodes is down, then the remaining two
can still elect a master amongst them-selves. This only requires one of the two remaining nodes to
have the capability to act as master, but both need to have voting powers. This means that one of
the three master-eligible nodes can be made as voting-only. If this voting-only node is a dedicated
master, a less powerful machine or a smaller heap-size can be chosen for this node. Alternatively, a
voting-only non-dedicated master node can play the role of the third master-eligible node, which
allows running an HA cluster with only two dedicated master nodes.
Closes#14340

Adds a metadata field to snapshots which can be used to store arbitrary
key-value information. This may be useful for attaching a description of
why a snapshot was taken, tagging snapshots to make categorization
easier, or identifying the source of automatically-created snapshots.
This commit addresses a few more frequently-asked questions:
* clarifies that bootstrapping doesn't happen even after a full cluster
restart.
* removes the example that uses IP addresses, to try and further encourage the
use of node names for bootstrapping.
* clarifies that auto-bootstrapping might form different clusters on different
hosts, and gives a process for starting again if this wasn't what you wanted.
* adds the "do not stop half-or-more of the master-eligible nodes" slogan that
was notably absent.
* reformats one of the console examples to a narrower width
The `bulk` threadpool is now called `write`, but `bulk` is still
used in some examples. This commit fixes that.
Also, the only way `threadpool.bulk.write: 30` is a valid increase in the size
of this threadpool is if you have 29 processors, which is an odd number of
processors to have. This commit removes the "more threads" bit.
In cases where node names and transport addresses can be muddled, it is unclear
that `cluster.initial_master_nodes: master-a:9300` means to look for a node
called `master-a:9300` rather than a node called `master-a` with transport port
`9300`. This commit adds docs to that effect.
* Clarify that peer recovery settings apply to shard relocation
* Fix awkward wording of 1st sentence

Separate expert settings.
The example to delete a remote cluster is missing the `skip_unavailable` setting which results in an error:
```
"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason": "missing required setting [cluster.remote.tiny-test.seeds] for setting [cluster.remote.tiny-test.skip_unavailable]"
```
The following phrase causes confusion:
> Alternatively the IP addresses or hostnames (if node name defaults to the
> host name) can be used.
This change clarifies the conditions under which you can use a hostname, and
adds an anchor to the note introduced in (#41137) so we can link directly to it
in conversations with users.
Added documentation for node repurpose tool and included documentation on how to repurpose nodes safely. Adjusted order of tools in `elasticsearch-node` tool since the repurpose tool is most likely to be used.

In #33062 we introduced the `cluster.remote.*.proxy` setting for proxied
connections to remote clusters, but left it deliberately undocumented since it
needed followup work so that it could work with SNI. However, since #32517 is
now closed we can add this documentation and remove the comment about its lack
of documentation.
This commit clarifies how the gateway selection works when configuring
remote clusters for CCR or CCS. Specifically, it clarifies compatibility
between different versions which is a very common question.
This commit, mostly authored by @DaveCTurner,
adds documentation for elasticsearch-node tool #37696.
(cherry picked from commit 09425d5a5158c2d3fdad794411b3bbc4bba47b15)
Currently remote compression and ping schedule settings are dynamic.
However, we do not listen for changes. This commit adds listeners for
changes to those two settings. Additionally, when those settings change
we now close existing connections and open new ones with the settings
applied.
Fixes#37201.
`SearchShardIterator` inherits its `compareTo` implementation from `PlainShardIterator`. That is good in most of the cases, as such comparisons are based on the shard id which is unique, even when searching against indices with same names across multiple clusters (thanks to the index uuid being different). In case though the same cluster is registered multiple times with different aliases, the shard id is exactly the same, hence remote results will be returned before local ones with same shard id objects. That is because remote iterators are added before local ones, and we use a stable sorting method in `GroupShardIterators` constructor.
This PR enhances `compareTo` for `SearchShardIterator` to tie break on cluster alias and introduces consistent `equals` and `hashcode` methods. This allows to remove a TODO in `SearchResponseMerger` which otherwise has to handle this special case specifically. Also, while at it I added missing tests around equals/hashcode and compareTo and expanded existing ones.
In #38333 and #38350 we moved away from the `discovery.zen` settings namespace
since these settings have an effect even though Zen Discovery itself is being
phased out. This change aligns the documentation and the names of related
classes and methods with the newly-introduced naming conventions.
Renames the following settings to remove the mention of `zen` in their names:
- `discovery.zen.hosts_provider` -> `discovery.seed_providers`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.concurrent_connects` -> `discovery.seed_resolver.max_concurrent_resolvers`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts.resolve_timeout` -> `discovery.seed_resolver.timeout`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts` -> `discovery.seed_addresses`
Reduces the leader and follower check timeout to 3 * 10 = 30s instead of 3 * 30 = 90s, with 30s still
being a very long time for a node to be completely unresponsive.
With #37000 we made sure that fnial reduction is automatically disabled
whenever a localClusterAlias is provided with a SearchRequest.
While working on #37838, we found a scenario where we do need to set a
localClusterAlias yet we would like to perform a final reduction in the
remote cluster: when searching on a single remote cluster.
Relates to #32125
This commit adds support for a separate finalReduce flag to
SearchRequest and makes use of it in TransportSearchAction in case we
are searching against a single remote cluster.
This also makes sure that num_reduce_phases is correct when searching
against a single remote cluster: it makes little sense to return
`num_reduce_phases` set to `2`, which looks especially weird in case
the search was performed against a single remote shard. We should
perform one reduction phase only in this case and `num_reduce_phases`
should reflect that.

With #37566 we have introduced the ability to merge multiple search responses into one. That makes it possible to expose a new way of executing cross-cluster search requests, that makes CCS much faster whenever there is network latency between the CCS coordinating node and the remote clusters. The coordinating node can now send a single search request to each remote cluster, which gets reduced by each one of them. from + size results are requested to each cluster, and the reduce phase in each cluster is non final (meaning that buckets are not pruned and pipeline aggs are not executed). The CCS coordinating node performs an additional, final reduction, which produces one search response out of the multiple responses received from the different clusters.
This new execution path will be activated by default for any CCS request unless a scroll is provided or inner hits are requested as part of field collapsing. The search API accepts now a new parameter called ccs_minimize_roundtrips that allows to opt-out of the default behaviour.
Relates to #32125
Abdicates to another master-eligible node once the active master is reconfigured out of the voting
configuration, for example through the use of voting configuration exclusions.
Follow-up to #37712
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.
