Currently we use 5k operations as a flush threshold. Indexing 5k documents
per second is rather common which would cause the index to be committed on
the lucene level each time the flush logic runs which is 5 seconds by default.
We should rather use a size based threshold similar to the lucene index writer
that doesn't cause such agressive commits which can slow down indexing significantly
especially since they cause the underlying devices to fsync their data.
Load tests showed that SerialMS has problems to keep up with
the merges under high load. We should switch back to CMS
until we have a better story to balance merge
threads / efforts across shards on a single node.
Closes#5817
Add an API endpoint at /_bench for submitting, listing, and aborting
search benchmarks. This API can be used for timing search requests,
subject to various user-defined settings.
Benchmark results provide summary and detailed statistics on such
values as min, max, and mean time. Values are reported per-node so that
it is easy to spot outliers. Slow requests are also reported.
Long running benchmarks can be viewed with a GET request, or aborted
with a POST request.
Benchmark results are optionally stored in an index for subsequent
analysis.
Closes#5407
The default precision was way too exact and could lead people to
think that geo context suggestions are not working. This patch now
requires you to set the precision in the mapping, as elasticsearch itself
can never tell exactly, what the required precision for the users
suggestions are.
Closes#5621
The `field_value_factor` function uses the value of a field in the
document to influence the score.
A query that looks like:
{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"query": {"match": { "body": "foo" }},
"functions": [
{
"field_value_factor": {
"field": "popularity",
"factor": 1.1,
"modifier": "square"
}
}
],
"score_mode": "max",
"boost_mode": "sum"
}
}
}
Would have the score modified by:
square(1.1 * doc['popularity'].value)
Closes#5519
allow to configure on the index level which blocks can optionally be applied using tribe.blocks.indices prefix settings.
allow to control what will be done when a conflict is detected on index names coming from several clusters using the tribe.on_conflict setting. Defaults remains "any", but now support also "drop" and "prefer_[tribeName]".
closes#5501
Adds a new API endpoint at /_recovery as well as to the Java API. The
recovery API allows one to see the recovery status of all shards in the
cluster. It will report on percent complete, recovery type, and which
files are copied.
Closes#4637
By default the date_/histogram returns all the buckets within the range of the data itself, that is, the documents with the smallest values (on which with histogram) will determine the min bucket (the bucket with the smallest key) and the documents with the highest values will determine the max bucket (the bucket with the highest key). Often, when when requesting empty buckets (min_doc_count : 0), this causes a confusion, specifically, when the data is also filtered.
To understand why, let's look at an example:
Lets say the you're filtering your request to get all docs from the last month, and in the date_histogram aggs you'd like to slice the data per day. You also specify min_doc_count:0 so that you'd still get empty buckets for those days to which no document belongs. By default, if the first document that fall in this last month also happen to fall on the first day of the **second week** of the month, the date_histogram will **not** return empty buckets for all those days prior to that second week. The reason for that is that by default the histogram aggregations only start building buckets when they encounter documents (hence, missing on all the days of the first week in our example).
With extended_bounds, you now can "force" the histogram aggregations to start building buckets on a specific min values and also keep on building buckets up to a max value (even if there are no documents anymore). Using extended_bounds only makes sense when min_doc_count is 0 (the empty buckets will never be returned if the min_doc_count is greater than 0).
Note that (as the name suggest) extended_bounds is **not** filtering buckets. Meaning, if the min bounds is higher than the values extracted from the documents, the documents will still dictate what the min bucket will be (and the same goes to the extended_bounds.max and the max bucket). For filtering buckets, one should nest the histogram agg under a range filter agg with the appropriate min/max.
Closes#5224
Today, we use ConcurrentMergeScheduler, and this can be painful since it is concurrent on a shard level, with a max of 3 threads doing concurrent merges. If there are several shards being indexed, then there will be a minor explosion of threads trying to do merges, all being throttled by our merge throttling.
Moving to serial merge scheduler will still maintain concurrency of merges across shards, as we have the merge thread pool that schedules those merges. It will just be a serial one on a specific shard.
Also, on serial merge scheduler, we now have a limit of how many merges it will do at one go, so it will let other shards get their fair chance of merging. We use the pending merges on IW to check if merges are needed or not for it.
Note, that if a merge is happening, it will not block due to a sync on the maybeMerge call at indexing (flush) time, since we wrap our merge scheduler with the EnabledMergeScheduler, where maybeMerge is not activated during indexing, only with explicit calls to IW#maybeMerge (see Merges).

Significance is related to the changes in document frequency observed between everyday use in the corpus and
frequency observed in the result set. The asciidocs include extensive details on the applications of this feature.
Closes#5146
This aggregation computes unique term counts using the hyperloglog++ algorithm
which uses linear counting to estimate low cardinalities and hyperloglog on
higher cardinalities.
Since this algorithm works on hashes, it is useful for high-cardinality fields
to store the hash of values directly in the index, which is the purpose of
the new `murmur3` field type. This is less necessary on low-cardinality
string fields because the aggregator is smart enough to only compute the hash
once per unique value per segment thanks to ordinals, or on numeric fields
since hashing them is very fast.

================
This commit extends the `CompletionSuggester` by context
informations. In example such a context informations can
be a simple string representing a category reducing the
suggestions in order to this category.
Three base implementations of these context informations
have been setup in this commit.
- a Category Context
- a Geo Context
All the mapping for these context informations are
specified within a context field in the completion
field that should use this kind of information.
Introduced two levels of randomization for the number of shards (between 1 and 10) when running tests:
1) through the existing random index template, which now sets a random number of shards that is shared across all the indices created in the same test method unless overwritten
2) through `createIndex` and `prepareCreate` methods, similar to what happens using the `indexSettings` method, which changes for every `createIndex` or `prepareCreate` unless overwritten (overwrites index template for what concerns the number of shards)
Added the following facilities to deal with the random number of shards:
- `getNumShards` to retrieve the number of shards of a given existing index, useful when doing comparisons based on the number of shards and we can avoid specifying a static number. The method returns an object containing the number of primaries, number of replicas and the total number of shards for the existing index
- added `assertFailures` that checks that a shard failure happened during a search request, either partial failure or total (all shards failed). Checks also the error code and the error message related to the failure. This is needed as without knowing the number of shards upfront, when simulating errors we can run into either partial (search returns partial results and failures) or total failures (search returns an error)
- added common methods similar to `indexSettings`, to be used in combination with `createIndex` and `prepareCreate` method and explicitly control the second level of randomization: `numberOfShards`, `minimumNumberOfShards` and `maximumNumberOfShards`. Added also `numberOfReplicas` despite the number of replicas is not randomized (default not specified but can be overwritten by tests)
Tests that specified the number of shards have been reviewed and the results follow:
- removed number_of_shards in node settings, ignored anyway as it would be overwritten by both mechanisms above
- remove specific number of shards when not needed
- removed manual shards randomization where present, replaced with ordinary one that's now available
- adapted tests that didn't need a specific number of shards to the new random behaviour
- fixed a couple of test bugs (e.g. 3 levels parent child test could only work on a single shard as the routing key used for grand-children wasn't correct)
- also done some cleanup, shared code through shard size facets and aggs tests and used common methods like `assertAcked`, `ensureGreen`, `refresh`, `flush` and `refreshAndFlush` where possible
- made sure that `indexSettings()` is always used as a basis when using `prepareCreate` to inject specific settings
- converted indexRandom(false, ...) + refresh to indexRandom(true, ...)
