Today the upgrade assistant identifies that discovery configuration is required
in production mode, but links to docs saying to add one of these settings:
- `discovery.seed_hosts`
- `discovery.seed_providers`
- `cluster.initial_master_nodes`
However these settings do not exist in 6.7 so this is unhelpful advice. This
commit adjusts the docs to give more useful advice to users arriving at this
page from the upgrade assistant.

The new cluster coordination subsystem introduced in 7.0 will only keep an
unresponsive node in the cluster for 30 seconds, whereas in earlier versions it
might have remained in the cluster for 90 seconds. This commit adds a note to
the migration documentation to that effect.
The Migration Assistance API has been functionally replaced by the
Deprecation Info API, and the Migration Upgrade API is not used for the
transition from ES 6.x to 7.x, and does not need to be kept around to
repair indices that were not properly upgraded before upgrading the
cluster, as was the case in 6.
Lucene 8.0 includes a [change](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8635)
that moves the terms index off-heap for all fields but ID fields. I'm
including this in the migration notes so that users who have queries that match
lots of terms won't be surprised in case of slowdown.
We were missing release notes for 7.0.0-alpha1. I generated them by running
the release-notes script with a quick hack that filtered out pull requests
that had been closed on or after 2018-11-15.
Some breaking changes had been documented in the release notes rather than
the migration guide so I moved them.
* Remove Hipchat support from Watcher (#39199)
Hipchat has been shut down and has previously been deprecated in
Watcher (#39160), therefore we should remove support for these actions.
* Add migrate note
In #30209 we deprecated the camel case `nGram` filter name in favour of `ngram` and
did the same for `edgeNGram` and `edge_ngram` and we are removing those names in
8.0. This change disallows using the deprecated names for new indices created in 7.0 by
throwing an error if these filters are used.

This change reverts the initial 7.0 commits and replaces them
with the 6.7 variant that still allows for the ecs flag.
This commit differs from the 6.7 variants in that ecs flag will
now default to true.
6.7: `ecs` : default `false`
7.x: `ecs` : default `true`
8.0: no option, but behaves as `true`

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.
We have had various reports of problems caused by the maxRetryTimeout
setting in the low-level REST client. Such setting was initially added
in the attempts to not have requests go through retries if the request
already took longer than the provided timeout.
The implementation was problematic though as such timeout would also
expire in the first request attempt (see #31834), would leave the
request executing after expiration causing memory leaks (see #33342),
and would not take into account the http client internal queuing (see #25951).
Given all these issues, it seems that this custom timeout mechanism
gives little benefits while causing a lot of harm. We should rather rely
on connect and socket timeout exposed by the underlying http client
and accept that a request can overall take longer than the configured
timeout, which is the case even with a single retry anyways.
This commit removes the `maxRetryTimeout` setting and all of its usages.
Elasticsearch has long [supported](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html#index-versioning) compare and set (a.k.a optimistic concurrency control) operations using internal document versioning. Sadly that approach is flawed and can sometime do the wrong thing. Here's the relevant excerpt from the resiliency status page:
> When a primary has been partitioned away from the cluster there is a short period of time until it detects this. During that time it will continue indexing writes locally, thereby updating document versions. When it tries to replicate the operation, however, it will discover that it is partitioned away. It won’t acknowledge the write and will wait until the partition is resolved to negotiate with the master on how to proceed. The master will decide to either fail any replicas which failed to index the operations on the primary or tell the primary that it has to step down because a new primary has been chosen in the meantime. Since the old primary has already written documents, clients may already have read from the old primary before it shuts itself down. The version numbers of these reads may not be unique if the new primary has already accepted writes for the same document
We recently [introduced](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.x/optimistic-concurrency-control.html) a new sequence number based approach that doesn't suffer from this dirty reads problem.
This commit removes support for internal versioning as a concurrency control mechanism in favor of the sequence number approach.
Relates to #1078
With this change we no longer support pluggable discovery implementations. No
known implementations of `DiscoveryPlugin` actually override this method, so in
practice this should have no effect on the wider world. However, we were using
this rather extensively in tests to provide the `test-zen` discovery type. We
no longer need a separate discovery type for tests as we no longer need to
customise its behaviour.
Relates #38410
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`
This commit enables the use of TLSv1.3 with security by enabling us to
properly map `TLSv1.3` in the supported protocols setting to the
algorithm for a SSLContext. Additionally, we also enable TLSv1.3 by
default on JDKs that support it.
An issue was uncovered with the MockWebServer when TLSv1.3 is used that
ultimately winds up in an endless loop when the client does not trust
the server's certificate. Due to this, SSLConfigurationReloaderTests
has been pinned to TLSv1.2.
Closes#32276
This change forbids negative field boost in the `query_string`, `simple_query_string`
and `multi_match` queries.
Negative boosts are not allowed in Lucene 8 (scores must be positive).
The backport of this change to 6x will turn the error into a deprecation warning
in order to raise the awareness of this breaking change in 7.0.
Closes#33309
In 6.3 trial licenses were changed to default to security
disabled, and ee added some heuristics to detect when security should
be automatically be enabled if `xpack.security.enabled` was not set.
This change removes those heuristics, and requires that security be
explicitly enabled (via the `xpack.security.enabled` setting) for
trial licenses.
Relates: #38009
Today we pass `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes` to nodes started up in
tests, but for 7.x nodes this setting is not required as it has no effect.
This commit removes this setting so that nodes are started with more realistic
configurations, and deprecates it.
* Add ECS schema for user-agent ingest processor (#37727)
This switches the format of the user agent processor to use the schema from [ECS](https://github.com/elastic/ecs).
So rather than something like this:
```
{
"patch" : "3538",
"major" : "70",
"minor" : "0",
"os" : "Mac OS X 10.14.1",
"os_minor" : "14",
"os_major" : "10",
"name" : "Chrome",
"os_name" : "Mac OS X",
"device" : "Other"
}
```
The structure is now like this:
```
{
"name" : "Chrome",
"original" : "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36",
"os" : {
"name" : "Mac OS X",
"version" : "10.14.1",
"full" : "Mac OS X 10.14.1"
},
"device" : "Other",
"version" : "70.0.3538.102"
}
```
This is now the default for 7.0. The deprecated `ecs` setting in 6.x is not
supported.
Resolves#37329
* Remove `ecs` setting from docs
Doc-value fields now return a value that is based on the mappings rather than
the script implementation by default.
This deprecates the special `use_field_mapping` docvalue format which was added
in #29639 only to ease the transition to 7.x and it is not necessary anymore in
7.0.
Restricted indices (currently only .security-6 and .security) are special
internal indices that require setting the `allow_restricted_indices` flag
on every index permission that covers them. If this flag is `false`
(default) the permission will not cover these and actions against them
will not be authorized.
However, the monitoring APIs were the only exception to this rule.
This exception is herein forfeited and index monitoring privileges have to be
granted explicitly, using the `allow_restricted_indices` flag on the permission,
as is the case for any other index privilege.
In order to support JSON log format, a custom pattern layout was used and its configuration is enclosed in ESJsonLayout. Users are free to use their own patterns, but if smooth Beats integration is needed, they should use ESJsonLayout. EvilLoggerTests are left intact to make sure user's custom log patterns work fine.
To populate additional fields node.id and cluster.uuid which are not available at start time,
a cluster state update will have to be received and the values passed to log4j pattern converter.
A ClusterStateObserver.Listener is used to receive only one ClusteStateUpdate. Once update is received the nodeId and clusterUUid are set in a static field in a NodeAndClusterIdConverter.
Following fields are expected in JSON log lines: type, tiemstamp, level, component, cluster.name, node.name, node.id, cluster.uuid, message, stacktrace
see ESJsonLayout.java for more details and field descriptions
Docker log4j2 configuration is now almost the same as the one use for ES binary.
The only difference is that docker is using console appenders, whereas ES is using file appenders.

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
The default value for ssl.supported_protocols no longer includes TLSv1
as this is an old protocol with known security issues.
Administrators can enable TLSv1.0 support by configuring the
appropriate `ssl.supported_protocols` setting, for example:
xpack.security.http.ssl.supported_protocols: ["TLSv1.2","TLSv1.1","TLSv1"]
Relates: #36021
This commit removes the Index Audit Output type, following its deprecation
in 6.7 by 8765a31d4e6770. It also adds the migration notice (settings notice).
In general, the problem with the index audit output is that event indexing
can be slower than the rate with which audit events are generated,
especially during the daily rollovers or the rolling cluster upgrades.
In this situation audit events will be lost which is a terrible failure situation
for an audit system.
Besides of the settings under the `xpack.security.audit.index` namespace, the
`xpack.security.audit.outputs` setting has also been deprecated and will be
removed in 7. Although explicitly configuring the logfile output does not touch
any deprecation bits, this setting is made redundant in 7 so this PR deprecates
it as well.
Relates #29881
Removes all sensitive settings (passwords, auth tokens, urls, etc...) for
watcher notifications accounts. These settings were deprecated (and
herein removed) in favor of their secure sibling that is set inside the
elasticsearch keystore. For example:
`xpack.notification.email.account.<id>.smtp.password`
is no longer a valid setting, and it is replaced by
`xpack.notification.email.account.<id>.smtp.secure_password`
This commit removes the fallback for SSL settings. While this may be
seen as a non user friendly change, the intention behind this change
is to simplify the reasoning needed to understand what is actually
being used for a given SSL configuration. Each configuration now needs
to be explicitly specified as there is no global configuration or
fallback to some other configuration.
Closes#29797
* [Analysis] Deprecate Standard Html Strip Analyzer
Deprecate only Standard Html Strip Analyzer
If user create index with the analyzer since 7.0, es throws an exception.
If an index was created before 7.0, es issue deprecation log
We will remove it in 8.0

With this commit we rename `node.store.allow_mmapfs` to
`node.store.allow_mmap`. Previously this setting has controlled whether
`mmapfs` could be used as a store type. With the introduction of
`hybridfs` which also relies on memory-mapping,
`node.store.allow_mmapfs` also applies to `hybridfs` and thus we rename
it in order to convey that it is actually used to allow memory-mapping
but not a specific store type.
