Changes the default of the `node.name` setting to the hostname of the
machine on which Elasticsearch is running. Previously it was the first 8
characters of the node id. This had the advantage of producing a unique
name even when the node name isn't configured but the disadvantage of
being unrecognizable and not being available until fairly late in the
startup process. Of particular interest is that it isn't available until
after logging is configured. This forces us to use a volatile read
whenever we add the node name to the log.
Using the hostname is available immediately on startup and is generally
recognizable but has the disadvantage of not being unique when run on
machines that don't set their hostname or when multiple elasticsearch
processes are run on the same host. I believe that, taken together, it
is better to default to the hostname.
1. Running multiple copies of Elasticsearch on the same node is a fairly
advanced feature. We do it all the as part of the elasticsearch build
for testing but we make sure to set the node name then.
2. That the node.name defaults to some flavor of "localhost" on an
unconfigured box feels like it isn't going to come up too much in
production. I expect most production deployments to at least set the
hostname.
As a bonus, production deployments need no longer set the node name in
most cases. At least in my experience most folks set it to the hostname
anyway.
Change the logging infrastructure to handle when the node name isn't
available in `elasticsearch.yml`. In that case the node name is not
available until long after logging is configured. The biggest change is
that the node name logging no longer fixed at pattern build time.
Instead it is read from a `SetOnce` on every print. If it is unset it is
printed as `unknown` so we have something that fits in the pattern.
On normal startup we don't log anything until the node name is available
so we never see the `unknown`s.
Remove a few of the logger constructors that aren't widely used or
aren't used at all and deprecate a few more logger constructors in favor
of log4j2's `LogManager`.
First, some background: we have 15 different methods to get a logger in
Elasticsearch but they can be broken down into three broad categories
based on what information is provided when building the logger.
Just a class like:
```
private static final Logger logger = ESLoggerFactory.getLogger(ActionModule.class);
```
or:
```
protected final Logger logger = Loggers.getLogger(getClass());
```
The class and settings:
```
this.logger = Loggers.getLogger(getClass(), settings);
```
Or more information like:
```
Loggers.getLogger("index.store.deletes", settings, shardId)
```
The goal of the "class and settings" variant is to attach the node name
to the logger. Because we don't always have the settings available, we
often use the "just a class" variant and get loggers without node names
attached. There isn't any real consistency here. Some loggers get the
node name because it is convenient and some do not.
This change makes the node name available to all loggers all the time.
Almost. There are some caveats are testing that I'll get to. But in
*production* code the node name is node available to all loggers. This
means we can stop using the "class and settings" variants to fetch
loggers which was the real goal here, but a pleasant side effect is that
the ndoe name is now consitent on every log line and optional by editing
the logging pattern. This is all powered by setting the node name
statically on a logging formatter very early in initialization.
Now to tests: tests can't set the node name statically because
subclasses of `ESIntegTestCase` run many nodes in the same jvm, even in
the same class loader. Also, lots of tests don't run with a real node so
they don't *have* a node name at all. To support multiple nodes in the
same JVM tests suss out the node name from the thread name which works
surprisingly well and easy to test in a nice way. For those threads
that are not part of an `ESIntegTestCase` node we stick whatever useful
information we can get form the thread name in the place of the node
name. This allows us to keep the logger format consistent.
* Remove log4j dependency from elasticsearch-core
This removes the log4j dependency from our elasticsearch-core project. It was
originally necessary only for our jar classpath checking. It is now replaced by
a `Consumer<String>` so that the es-core dependency doesn't have external
dependencies.
The parts of #28191 which were moved in conjunction (like `ESLoggerFactory` and
`Loggers`) have been moved back where appropriate, since they are not required
in the core jar.
This is tangentially related to #28504
* Add javadocs for `output` parameter
* Change @code to @link
When we submit a task to a thread pool for asynchronous execution, we
are returned a future. Since we submitted to go asynchronous, these
futures are not inspected for failure (we would have to block a thread
to do that). While we have on failure handlers for exceptions that are
thrown during execution, we do not handle throwables that are not
exceptions and these end up silently lost. This commit adds a check
after the runnable returns that inspects the status of the future. If an
unhandled throwable occurred during execution, this throwable is
propogated out where it will land in the uncaught exception handler.

Currently meta plugins will ask for confirmation of security policy
exceptions for each bundled plugin. This commit collects the necessary
permissions of each bundled plugin, and asks for confirmation of all of
them at the same time.
This is related to #27933. It introduces a jar named elasticsearch-core
in the lib directory. This commit moves the JarHell class from server to
elasticsearch-core. Additionally, PathUtils and some of Loggers are
moved as JarHell depends on them.
This commit adds the infrastructure to plugin building and loading to
allow one plugin to extend another. That is, one plugin may extend
another by the "parent" plugin allowing itself to be extended through
java SPI. When all plugins extending a plugin are finished loading, the
"parent" plugin has a callback (through the ExtensiblePlugin interface)
allowing it to reload SPI.
This commit also adds an example plugin which uses as-yet implemented
extensibility (adding to the painless whitelist).
This commit moves GlobalCheckpointTracker from the engine to IndexShard, where it better fits logically: Tracking the global checkpoint based on the local checkpoints of all shards in the replication group is not a property of the engine, but rather a property fulfilled by the current primary shard. The LocalCheckpointTracker on the other hand is driven by the contents of the local translog. By moving GlobalCheckpointTracker to IndexShard, it makes little sense to keep the SequenceNumbersService class around - it would only wrap the LocalCheckpointTracker. This commit therefore removes the class and replaces occurrences of SequenceNumbersService in the engine directly by LocalCheckpointTracker.
Any CLI commands that depend on core Elasticsearch might touch classes
(directly or indirectly) that depends on logging. If they do this and
logging is not configured, Log4j will dump status error messages to the
console. As such, we need to ensure that any such CLI command configures
logging (with a trivial configuration that dumps log messages to the
console). Previously we did this in the base CLI command but with the
refactoring of this class out of core Elasticsearch, we no longer
configure logging there (since we did not want this class to depend on
settings and logging). However, this meant for some CLI commands (like
the plugin CLI) we were no longer configuring logging. This commit adds
base classes between the low-level command and multi-command classes
that ensure that logging is configured. Any CLI command that depends on
core Elasticsearch should use this infrastructure to ensure logging is
configured. There is one exception to this: Elasticsearch itself because
it takes reponsibility into its own hands for configuring logging from
Elasticsearch settings and log4j2.properties. We preserve this special
status.

Projects the depend on the CLI currently depend on core. This should not
always be the case. The EnvironmentAwareCommand will remain in :core,
but the rest of the CLI components have been moved into their own
subproject of :core, :core:cli.
If an out of memory error is thrown while merging, today we quietly
rewrap it into a merge exception and the out of memory error is
lost. Instead, we need to rethrow out of memory errors, and in fact any
fatal error here, and let those go uncaught so that the node is torn
down. This commit causes this to be the case.

The warnings headers have a fairly limited set of valid characters
(cf. quoted-text in RFC 7230). While we have assertions that we adhere
to this set of valid characters ensuring that our warning messages do
not violate the specificaion, we were neglecting the possibility that
arbitrary user input would trickle into these warning headers. Thus,
missing here was tests for these situations and encoding of characters
that appear outside the set of valid characters. This commit addresses
this by encoding any characters in a deprecation message that are not
from the set of valid characters.

Only tests should use the single argument Environment constructor. To
enforce this the single arg Environment constructor has been replaced with
a test framework factory method.
Production code (beyond initial Bootstrap) should always use the same
Environment object that Node.getEnvironment() returns. This Environment
is also available via dependency injection.
Today we return a `String[]` that requires copying values for every
access. Yet, we already store the setting as a list so we can also directly
return the unmodifiable list directly. This makes list / array access in settings
a much cheaper operation especially if lists are large.
Since `#getAsMap` exposes internal representation we are trying to remove it
step by step. This commit is cleaning up some xcontent writing as well as
usage in tests
This commit refactors the bootstrap checks into a single result object
that encapsulates whether or not the check passed, and a failure message
if the check failed. This simpifies the checks, and enables the messages
to more easily be based on the state used to discern whether or not the
check passed.
Relates #26637
This exposes the node settings and the persistent part of the cluster state to the
bootstrap checks to allow plugins to enforce certain preconditions based on the
recovered state.
There is a bug in Log4j on JDK 9 for walking the stack to find where a
log line is coming from. This bug is impacting some of our testing, so
this commit marks these tests as skippable only on JDK 9 until the bug
is fixed upstream.

This commit removes the keystore creation on elasticsearch startup, and
instead adds a plugin property which indicates the plugin needs the
keystore to exist. It does still make sure the keystore.seed exists on
ES startup, but through an "upgrade" method that loading the keystore in
Bootstrap calls.

This commit makes the security code aware of the Java 9 FilePermission changes (see #21534) and allows us to remove the `jdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath` system property.
This commit adds the nio transport as an option in place of the mock tcp
transport for tests. Each test will only use one transport type. The
transport type is decided by a random boolean generated inside of the
`ESTestCase` class.
When ES starts up we verify we can write to all data folders and that they support atomic moves. We do so by creating and deleting temp files. If for some reason the files was successfully created but not successfully deleted, we still shut down correctly but subsequent start attempts will fail with a file already exists exception.
This commit makes sure to first clean any existing temporary files.
Superseeds #21007
This commit removes some useless empty lines checks from the evil JNA
tests. These empty lines checks are useless because if the lines are
actually empty, the for loop will never be entered and we will hit the
fail condition at the bottom as intended anyway.
This commit adds a bootstrap check for the maximum file size, and
ensures the limit is set correctly when Elasticsearch is installed as a
service on systemd-based systems.
Relates #25974
This commit fixes tests for environment-aware commands. A previous
change added a check that es.path.conf is not null. The problem is that
this system property is not being set in tests so this check trips every
single time. To fix this, we move the check into a method that can be
overridden, and then override this method in relevant places in tests to
avoid having to set the property in tests. We also add a test that this
check works as expected.
This commit enables the console appender for the settings deprecation
logger used in the deprecated settings logging test. This output will be
useful if this test fails again (it failed once mysteriously).
This commit adds an LRU set to used to determine if a keyed deprecation
message should be written to the deprecation logs, or only added to the
response headers on the thread context.

This commit removes the default path settings for data and logs. With
this change, we now ship the packages with these settings set in the
elasticsearch.yml configuration file rather than going through the
default.path.data and default.path.logs dance that we went through in
the past.

This commit removes path.conf as a valid setting and replaces it with a
command-line flag for specifying a non-default path for configuration.

Duplicate data paths already fail to work because we would attempt to
take out a node lock on the directory a second time which will fail
after the first lock attempt succeeds. However, how this failure
manifests is not apparent at all and is quite difficult to
debug. Instead, we should explicitly reject duplicate data paths to make
the failure cause more obvious.
Relates #25178
We have a custom logger implementation known as a prefix logger that is
used to write every message by the logger with a given prefix. This is
useful for node-level, index-level, and shard-level messages where we
want to log the node name, index name, and shard ID, respectively, if
possible. The mechanism that we employ is that of a marker. Log4j has a
built-in facility for managing these markers, but its effectively a
memory leak because these markers are held in a map and can never be
released. This is problematic for us since indices and shards do not
necessarily have infinite life spans and so on a node where there are
many indices being creted and destroyed, this infinite lifespan can be a
problem indeed. To solve this, we use our own cache of markers. This is
necessary to prevent too many instances of the marker for the same
prefix from being created (just think of all the shard-level components
that exist in the system), and to workaround the effective leak in
Log4j. These markers are stored as weak references in a weak hash
map. It is these weak references that are unneeded. When a key is
removed from a weak hash map, the corresponding entry is placed on a
reference queue that is eventually cleared. This commit simplifies
prefix logger by removing this unnecessary weak reference wrapper.
