This adds a setting to data frame analytics jobs called
`max_number_threads`. The setting expects a positive integer.
When used the user specifies the max number of threads that may
be used by the analysis. Note that the actual number of threads
used is limited by the number of processors on the node where
the job is assigned. Also, the process may use a couple more threads
for operational functionality that is not the analysis itself.
This setting may also be updated for a stopped job.
More threads may reduce the time it takes to complete the job at the cost
of using more CPU.
Backport of #59254 and #57274
Adds a new parameter for classification that enables choosing whether to assign labels to
maximise accuracy or to maximise the minimum class recall.
Fixes#52427.
Adds a new parameter to regression and classification that enables computation
of importance for the top most important features. The computation of the importance
is based on SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) method.
Backport of #50914
This adds a new `randomize_seed` for regression and classification.
When not explicitly set, the seed is randomly generated. One can
reuse the seed in a similar job in order to ensure the same docs
are picked for training.
Backport of #49990
This adds a `_source` setting under the `source` setting of a data
frame analytics config. The new `_source` is reusing the structure
of a `FetchSourceContext` like `analyzed_fields` does. Specifying
includes and excludes for source allows selecting which fields
will get reindexed and will be available in the destination index.
Closes#49531
Backport of #49690
Adds the following parameters to `outlier_detection`:
- `compute_feature_influence` (boolean): whether to compute or not
feature influence scores
- `outlier_fraction` (double): the proportion of the data set assumed
to be outlying prior to running outlier detection
- `standardization_enabled` (boolean): whether to apply standardization
to the feature values
Backport of #47600
This merges the initial work that adds a framework for performing
machine learning analytics on data frames. The feature is currently experimental
and requires a platinum license. Note that the original commits can be
found in the `feature-ml-data-frame-analytics` branch.
A new set of APIs is added which allows the creation of data frame analytics
jobs. Configuration allows specifying different types of analysis to be performed
on a data frame. At first there is support for outlier detection.
The APIs are:
- PUT _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}
- GET _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}
- GET _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}/_stats
- POST _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}/_start
- POST _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}/_stop
- DELETE _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}
When a data frame analytics job is started a persistent task is created and started.
The main steps of the task are:
1. reindex the source index into the dest index
2. analyze the data through the data_frame_analyzer c++ process
3. merge the results of the process back into the destination index
In addition, an evaluation API is added which packages commonly used metrics
that provide evaluation of various analysis:
- POST _ml/data_frame/_evaluate
