The joda to java.time migration requires users to upgrade their mappings. We allow them to still use 6.x created indices with joda patterns in 7 but ask them to upgrade their patterns in 7.x.
This migration guide is to help them understand how they could be affected and what needs to be changed in their mappings.

Adds conceptual docs for token graphs.
These docs cover:
* How a token graph is constructed from a token stream
* How synonyms and multi-position tokens impact token graphs
* How token graphs are used during search
* Why some token filters produce invalid token graphs
Also makes the following supporting changes:
* Adds anchors to the 'Anatomy of an Analyzer' docs for cross-linking
* Adds several SVGs for token graph diagrams
Removes the `flat_settings` and `timeout` query parameters from the JSON
spec and asciidoc docs for the put index template API.
These parameters are not supported by the API.
It is useful to be able to delay state recovery until enough data nodes have
joined the cluster, since this gives the shard allocator a decent opportunity
to re-use as much existing data as possible. However we also have the option to
delay state recovery until a certain number of master-eligible nodes have
joined, and this is unnecessary: we require a majority of master-eligible nodes
for state recovery, and there is no advantage in waiting for more.
This commit deprecates the unnecessary settings in preparation for their
removal.
Relates #51806
This commit adjusts a `deprecation[...]` message in the docs since such
messages must be on a single line. It also moves this message to the start of
the description of the deprecated setting as is the case with other such
messages.
* Submit async search to work only with POST (#53368)
Currently the submit async search API can be called using both GET and POST at REST, but given that it submits a call and creates internal state, POST should be the only allowed method.
* Refine SearchProgressListener internal API (#53373)
The following cumulative improvements have been made:
- rename `onReduce` and `notifyReduce` to `onFinalReduce` and `notifyFinalReduce`
- add unit test for `SearchShard`
- on* methods in `SearchProgressListener` shouldn't need to be public as they should never be called directly, they only need to be overridden hence they can be made protected. They are actually called directly from a test which required some adapting, like making `AsyncSearchTask.Listener` class package private instead of private
- Instead of overriding `getProgressListener` in `AsyncSearchTask`, as it feels weird to override a getter method, added a specific method that allows to retrieve the Listener directly without needing to cast it. Made the getter and setter for the listener final in the base class.
- rename `SearchProgressListener#searchShards` methods to `buildSearchShards` and make it static given that it accesses no instance members
- make `SearchShard` and `SearchShardTask` classes final
* Move async search yaml tests to x-pack yaml test folder (#53537)
The yaml tests for async search currently sit in its qa folder. There is no reason though for them to live in a separate folder as they don't require particular setup. This commit moves them to the main folder together with the other x-pack yaml tests so that they will be run by the client test runners too.
* [DOCS] Add temporary redirect for async-search (#53454)
The following API spec files contain a link to a not-yet-created
async search docs page:
* [async_search.delete.json][0]
* [async_search.get.json][1]
* [async_search.submit.json][2]
The Elaticsearch-js client uses these spec files to create their docs.
This created a broken link in the Elaticsearch-js docs, which has broken
the docs build.
This PR adds a temporary redirect for the docs page. This redirect
should be removed when the actual API docs are added.

Makes the following changes to the `remove_duplicates` token filter
docs:
* Rewrites description and adds Lucene link
* Adds detailed analyze example
* Adds custom analyzer example
* New wildcard field optimised for wildcard queries (#49993)
Indexes values using size 3 ngrams and also stores the full original as a binary doc value.
Wildcard queries operate by using a cheap approximation query on the ngram field followed up by a more expensive verification query using an automaton on the binary doc values. Also supports aggregations and sorting.
Keyword field values with length more than ignore_above are not
indexed. But highlighters still were retrieving these values
from _source and were trying to highlight them. This sometimes lead to
errors if a field length exceeded max_analyzed_offset. But also this
is an overall wrong behaviour to attempt to highlight something that was
ignored during indexing.
This PR checks if a keyword value was ignored because of its length,
and if yes, skips highlighting it.
Backport: #53408Closes#43800
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.
This changes the `top_metrics` aggregation to return metrics in their
original type. Since it only supports numerics, that means that dates,
longs, and doubles will come back as stored, with their appropriate
formatter applied.
This change removes the Lucene's experimental flag from the documentations of the following
tokenizer/filters:
* Simple Pattern Split Tokenizer
* Simple Pattern tokenizer
* Flatten Graph Token Filter
* Word Delimiter Graph Token Filter
The flag is still present in Lucene codebase but we're fully supporting these tokenizers/filters
in ES for a long time now so the docs flag is misleading.

Restructures the 'Update an enrich policy' section to:
* Migrate the content to the section. It was previously stored in the
Put Enrich Policy API docs.
* Remove the warning tag admonition from the section content.
* Replace a reused section earlier in the "Set up an enrich processor"
page with a link.
No substantive changes were made to the content.
Adds a new `default_field_map` field to trained model config objects.
This allows the model creator to supply field map if it knows that there should be some map for inference to work directly against the training data.
The use case internally is having analytics jobs supply a field mapping for multi-field fields. This allows us to use the model "out of the box" on data where we trained on `foo.keyword` but the `_source` only references `foo`.
Makes the following changes to the `word_delimiter` token filter docs:
* Adds a warning admonition recommending the `word_delimiter_graph`
filter instead. This warning includes a link to the deprecated Lucene
`WordDelimiterFilter`.
* Updates the description
* Adds detailed analyze snippet
* Adds custom analyzer and custom filter snippets
* Reorganizes and updates parameter documentation
In a tip admonition, we recommend using the `keyword` tokenizer with the
`word_delimiter_graph` token filter. However, we only use the
`whitespace` tokenizer in the example snippets. This updates those
snippets to use the `keyword` tokenizer instead.
Also corrects several spacing issues for arrays in these docs.
Updates the SVG for a token graph to make the layout consistent with
other graphs. This means moving the text directly above the edge lines.
Previously, the text was above the edge line.
Adds a tip admonition to the basic example in the EQL search docs.
This tip lets users know they can set up a Beat to automatically
index data in ES, rather than manually indexing using the bulk or index
APIs.
Documents the `nodes` response parameters returned by the
`_cluster/stats` API.
Also adds collapsible attributes for the `indices` and `nodes`
sections.
Makes the following changes to the `word_delimiter_graph` token filter
docs:
* Updates the Lucene experimental admonition.
* Updates description
* Adds analyze snippet
* Adds custom analyzer and custom filter snippets
* Reorganizes and updates parameter list
* Expands and updates section re: differences between `word_delimiter`
and `word_delimiter_graph`
This commit introduces hidden aliases. These are similar to hidden
indices, in that they are not visible by default, unless explicitly
specified by name or by indicating that hidden indices/aliases are
desired.
The new alias property, `is_hidden` is implemented similarly to
`is_write_index`, except that it must be consistent across all indices
with a given alias - that is, all indices with a given alias must
specify the alias as either hidden, or all specify it as non-hidden,
either explicitly or by omitting the `is_hidden` property.
7.5 and 7.6 had a regression that allowed for
script_score queries to have negative scores.
We have corrected this regression in #52478.
This is an addition to #52478 that adds
a test and release notes.
Adds documentation for the `any` keyword to the EQL syntax docs.
Includes:
* Definition of an event category and its relationship to the event
category field.
* Example matching all event categories using `any` keyword
* Example using `any` with `where true`
Updates the documented default `event_category_field` and `timestamp_field`
values for the EQL search API. Also updates related guidance in the
EQL requirement docs.
Relates to #53073.
Per the [Asciidoctor docs][0], Asciidoctor replaces the following

Where appropriate, it also replaces some double arrow instances with
single arrows for consistency.

This field is a specialization of the `keyword` field for the case when all
documents have the same value. It typically performs more efficiently than
keywords at query time by figuring out whether all or none of the documents
match at rewrite time, like `term` queries on `_index`.
The name is up for discussion. I liked including `keyword` in it, so that we
still have room for a `singleton_numeric` in the future. However I'm unsure
whether to call it `singleton`, `constant` or something else, any opinions?
For this field there is a choice between
1. accepting values in `_source` when they are equal to the value configured
in mappings, but rejecting mapping updates
2. rejecting values in `_source` but then allowing updates to the value that
is configured in the mapping
This commit implements option 1, so that it is possible to reindex from/to an
index that has the field mapped as a keyword with no changes to the source.

Tries to load a `Mapper` instance for the mapping snippet of a dynamic template.
This should catch things like using an analyzer that is undefined or mapping attributes that are unused.
This is best effort:
* If `{{name}}` placeholder is used in the mapping snippet then validation is skipped.
* If `match_mapping_type` is not specified then validation is performed for all mapping types.
If parsing succeeds with a single mapping type then this the dynamic mapping is considered valid.
If is detected that a dynamic template mapping snippet is invalid at mapping update time then the mapping update is failed for indices created on 8.0.0-alpha1 and later. For indices created on prior version a deprecation warning is omitted instead. In 7.x clusters the mapping update will never fail in case of an invalid dynamic template mapping snippet and a deprecation warning will always be omitted.

This adds a new configurable field called `indices_options`. This allows users to create or update the indices_options used when a datafeed reads from an index.
This is necessary for the following use cases:
- Reading from frozen indices
- Allowing certain indices in multiple index patterns to not exist yet
These index options are available on datafeed creation and update. Users may specify them as URL parameters or within the configuration object.

This change adds the recall@k metric and refactors precision@k to match
the new metric.
Recall@k is an important metric to use for learning to rank (LTR)
use-cases. Candidate generation or first ranking phase ranking functions
are often optimized for high recall, in order to generate as many
relevant candidates in the top-k as possible for a second phase of
ranking. Adding this metric allows tuning that base query for LTR.

Add query execution and return actual results returned from
Elasticsearch inside the tests
(cherry picked from commit 3e039282bf991af87604a6d4f8eada19d5e33842)
The introductory sections of the reference manual contains some simplified
instructions for adding a node to the cluster. Unfortunately they are a little
too simplified and only really work for clusters running on `localhost`. If you
try and follow these instructions for a distributed cluster then the new node
will, confusingly, auto-bootstrap itself into a distinct one-node cluster.
Multiple nodes running on localhost is a valid config, of course, but we should
spell out that these instructions are really only for experimentation and that
it takes a bit more work to add nodes to a distributed cluster. This commit
does so.
Also, the "important config" instructions for discovery say that you MUST set
`discovery.seed_hosts` whereas in fact it is fine to ignore this setting and
use a dynamic discovery mechanism instead. This commit weakens this statement
and links to the docs for dynamic discovery mechanisms.
Finally, this section is also overloaded with some technical details that are
not important for this context and are adequately covered elsewhere, and
completely fails to note that the default discovery port is 9300. This commit
addresses this.

Indices open with the `niofs` store type load much more data on-heap than
indices open with the `mmapfs` store type. This limitation is now documented
and examples have been updated to show how to update settings to use the

We should be more explicit about the downsides of disabling replicas and
explain that users should be ready to re-do the entire load in case of
issues mid-way.

This adds machine learning model feature importance calculations to the inference processor.
The new flag in the configuration matches the analytics parameter name: `num_top_feature_importance_values`
Example:
```
"inference": {
"field_mappings": {},
"model_id": "my_model",
"inference_config": {
"regression": {
"num_top_feature_importance_values": 3
}
}
}
```
This will write to the document as follows:
```
"inference" : {
"feature_importance" : {
"FlightTimeMin" : -76.90955548511226,
"FlightDelayType" : 114.13514762158526,
"DistanceMiles" : 13.731580450792187
},
"predicted_value" : 108.33165831875137,
"model_id" : "my_model"
}
```
This is done through calculating the [SHAP values](https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.03888).
It requires that models have populated `number_samples` for each tree node. This is not available to models that were created before 7.7.
Additionally, if the inference config is requesting feature_importance, and not all nodes have been upgraded yet, it will not allow the pipeline to be created. This is to safe-guard in a mixed-version environment where only some ingest nodes have been upgraded.

Updates the cross-cluster search (CCS) documentation to note how
cluster-level settings are applied.
When `ccs_minimize_roundtrips` is `true`, each cluster applies its own
cluster-level settings to the request.
When `ccs_minimize_roundtrips` is `false`, cluster-level settings for
the local cluster is used. This includes shard limit settings, such as
`action.search.shard_count.limit`, `pre_filter_shard_size`, and
`max_concurrent_shard_requests`. If these limits are set too low, the
request could be rejected.

The `top_metrics` agg is kind of like `top_hits` but it only works on
doc values so it *should* be faster.
At this point it is fairly limited in that it only supports a single,
numeric sort and a single, numeric metric. And it only fetches the "very
topest" document worth of metric. We plan to support returning a
configurable number of top metrics, requesting more than one metric and
more than one sort. And, eventually, non-numeric sorts and metrics. The
trick is doing those things fairly efficiently.

Adds the ability to display docs on permanently unreleased branches,
such as `master` and `7.x`.
Also updates how the autoscaling and EQL docs are included.
Currently, these feature-flag docs would display on any unreleased
branches that contain the changes, such as 7.7.
Today we use `cluster.join.timeout` to prevent nodes from waiting indefinitely
if joining a faulty master that is too slow to respond, and
`cluster.publish.timeout` to allow a faulty master to detect that it is unable
to publish its cluster state updates in a timely fashion. If these timeouts
occur then the node restarts the discovery process in an attempt to find a
healthier master.
In the special case of `discovery.type: single-node` there is no point in
looking for another healthier master since the single node in the cluster is
all we've got. This commit suppresses these timeouts and instead lets the node
wait for joins and publications to succeed no matter how long this might take.
The changes add more granularity for identiying the data ingestion user.
The ingest pipeline can now be configure to record authentication realm and
type. It can also record API key name and ID when one is in use.
This improves traceability when data are being ingested from multiple agents
and will become more relevant with the incoming support of required

* Allow forcemerge in the hot phase for ILM policies
This commit changes the `forcemerge` action to also be allowed in the `hot` phase for policies. The

On caveat with this is that a `forcemerge` in the `hot` phase *MUST* be accompanied by a `rollover`
action. ILM validates policies to ensure this is the case.

Backport of #51879
This commit introduces the ability to override JVM options by adding
custom JVM options files to a jvm.options.d directory. This simplifies
administration of Elasticsearch by not requiring administrators to keep
the root jvm.options file in sync with changes that we make to the root
jvm.options file. Instead, they are not expected to modify this file but
instead supply their own in jvm.options.d. In Docker installations, this
means they can bind mount this directory in. In future versions of
Elasticsearch, we can consider removing the root jvm.options file
(instead, providing all options there as system JVM options).
The main purpose of this commit is to add a single autoscaling REST
endpoint skeleton, for the purpose of starting to build out the build
and testing infrastructure that will surround it. For example, rather
than commiting a fully-functioning autoscaling API, we introduce here
the skeleton so that we can start wiring up the build and testing
infrastructure, establish security roles/permissions, an so on. This
way, in a forthcoming PR that introduces actual functionality, that PR
will be smaller and have less distractions around that sort of
infrastructure.
Adds the ability to display docs on permanently unreleased branches,

Adds a secure and reloadable SECURE_AUTH_PASSWORD setting to allow keystore entries in the form "xpack.monitoring.exporters.*.auth.secure_password" to securely supply passwords for monitoring HTTP exporters. Also deprecates the insecure `AUTH_PASSWORD` setting.
The changes are to help users prepare for migration to next major
release (v8.0.0) regarding to the break change of realm order config.
Warnings are added for when:
* A realm does not have an order config
* Multiple realms have the same order config
The warning messages are added to both deprecation API and loggings.
The main reasons for doing this are: 1) there is currently no automatic relay
between the two; 2) deprecation API is under basic and we need logging
for OSS.
* Rename ILM history index enablement setting
The previous setting was `index.lifecycle.history_index_enabled`, this commit changes it to

Previously, if YEAR() was used as and ORDER BY argument without being
wrapped with another scalar (e.g. YEAR(birth_date) + 10), no script
ordering was used but instead the underlying field (e.g. birth_date)
was used instead as a performance optimisation. This works correctly if
YEAR() is the only ORDER BY arg but if further args are used as tie
breakers for the ordering wrong results are produced. This is because
2 rows with the different birth_date but on the same year are not tied
as the underlying ordering is on birth_date and not on the
YEAR(birth_date), and the following ORDER BY args are ignored.
Remove this optimisation for YEAR() to avoid incorrect results in
such cases.
As a consequence another bug is revealed: scalar functions on top
of nested fields produce scripted sorting/filtering which is not yet
supported. In such cases no error was thrown but instead all values for
such nested fields were null and were passed to the script implementing
the sorting/filtering, producing incorrect results.
Detect such cases and throw a validation exception.

The timeout.tcp_read AD/LDAP realm setting, despite the low-level
allusion, controls the time interval the realms wait for a response for
a query (search or bind). If the connection to the server is synchronous
(un-pooled) the response timeout is analogous to the tcp read timeout.
But the tcp read timeout is irrelevant in the common case of a pooled
connection (when a Bind DN is specified).
The timeout.tcp_read qualifier is hereby deprecated in favor of
timeout.response.
In addition, the default value for both timeout.tcp_read and
timeout.response is that of timeout.ldap_search, instead of the 5s (but
the default for timeout.ldap_search is still 5s). The
timeout.ldap_search defines the server-controlled timeout of a search
request. There is no practical use case to have a smaller tcp_read
timeout compared to ldap_search (in this case the request would time-out
on the client but continue to be processed on the server). The proposed
change aims to simplify configuration so that the more common
configuration change, adjusting timeout.ldap_search up, has the expected
result (no timeout during searches) without any additional
modifications.
Closes#46028
This commit deprecates the creation of dot-prefixed index names (e.g.
.watches) unless they are either 1) a hidden index, or 2) registered by
a plugin that extends SystemIndexPlugin. This is the first step
towards more thorough protections for system indices.
This commit also modifies several plugins which use dot-prefixed indices
to register indices they own as system indices, and adds a plugin to
register .tasks as a system index.
The docs tests have recently been running much slower than before (see #49753).
The gist here is that with ILM/SLM we do a lot of unnecessary setup / teardown work on each
test. Compounded with the slightly slower cluster state storage mechanism, this causes the
tests to run much slower.

Changes the find_file_structure response to include a CSV
ingest processor in the ingest pipeline it suggests.
Previously the Kibana file upload functionality parsed CSV
in the browser, but by parsing CSV in the ingest pipeline
it makes the Kibana file upload functionality more easily
interchangable with Filebeat such that the configurations
it creates can more easily be used to import data with the
same structure repeatedly in production.
* Reload secure settings with password (#43197)
If a password is not set, we assume an empty string to be
compatible with previous behavior.
Only allow the reload to be broadcast to other nodes if TLS is
enabled for the transport layer.
* Add passphrase support to elasticsearch-keystore (#38498)
This change adds support for keystore passphrases to all subcommands
of the elasticsearch-keystore cli tool and adds a subcommand for
changing the passphrase of an existing keystore.
The work to read the passphrase in Elasticsearch when
loading, which will be addressed in a different PR.
Subcommands of elasticsearch-keystore can handle (open and create)
passphrase protected keystores
When reading a keystore, a user is only prompted for a passphrase
only if the keystore is passphrase protected.
When creating a keystore, a user is allowed (default behavior) to create one with an
empty passphrase
Passphrase can be set to be empty when changing/setting it for an
existing keystore
Relates to: #32691
Supersedes: #37472
* Restore behavior for force parameter (#44847)
Turns out that the behavior of `-f` for the add and add-file sub
commands where it would also forcibly create the keystore if it
didn't exist, was by design - although undocumented.
This change restores that behavior auto-creating a keystore that
is not password protected if the force flag is used. The force
OptionSpec is moved to the BaseKeyStoreCommand as we will presumably
want to maintain the same behavior in any other command that takes
a force option.
* Handle pwd protected keystores in all CLI tools (#45289)
This change ensures that `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` and
`elasticsearch-saml-metadata` can handle a password protected
elasticsearch.keystore.
For setup passwords the user would be prompted to add the
elasticsearch keystore password upon running the tool. There is no
option to pass the password as a parameter as we assume the user is
present in order to enter the desired passwords for the built-in
users.
For saml-metadata, we prompt for the keystore password at all times
even though we'd only need to read something from the keystore when
there is a signing or encryption configuration.
* Modify docs for setup passwords and saml metadata cli (#45797)
Adds a sentence in the documentation of `elasticsearch-setup-passwords`
and `elasticsearch-saml-metadata` to describe that users would be
prompted for the keystore's password when running these CLI tools,
when the keystore is password protected.

* Elasticsearch keystore passphrase for startup scripts (#44775)
This commit allows a user to provide a keystore password on Elasticsearch
startup, but only prompts when the keystore exists and is encrypted.
The entrypoint in Java code is standard input. When the Bootstrap class is
checking for secure keystore settings, it checks whether or not the keystore
is encrypted. If so, we read one line from standard input and use this as the
password. For simplicity's sake, we allow a maximum passphrase length of 128
characters. (This is an arbitrary limit and could be increased or eliminated.
It is also enforced in the keystore tools, so that a user can't create a
password that's too long to enter at startup.)
In order to provide a password on standard input, we have to account for four
different ways of starting Elasticsearch: the bash startup script, the Windows
batch startup script, systemd startup, and docker startup. We use wrapper
scripts to reduce systemd and docker to the bash case: in both cases, a
wrapper script can read a passphrase from the filesystem and pass it to the
bash script.
In order to simplify testing the need for a passphrase, I have added a
has-passwd command to the keystore tool. This command can run silently, and
exit with status 0 when the keystore has a password. It exits with status 1 if
the keystore doesn't exist or exists and is unencrypted.
A good deal of the code-change in this commit has to do with refactoring
packaging tests to cleanly use the same tests for both the "archive" and the
"package" cases. This required not only moving tests around, but also adding
some convenience methods for an abstraction layer over distribution-specific
commands.
* Adjust docs for password protected keystore (#45054)
This commit adds relevant parts in the elasticsearch-keystore
sub-commands reference docs and in the reload secure settings API
doc.
* Fix failing Keystore Passphrase test for feature branch (#50154)
One problem with the passphrase-from-file tests, as written, is that
they would leave a SystemD environment variable set when they failed,
and this setting would cause elasticsearch startup to fail for other
tests as well. By using a try-finally, I hope that these tests will fail
more gracefully.
It appears that our Fedora and Ubuntu environments may be configured to
store journald information under /var rather than under /run, so that it
will persist between boots. Our destructive tests that read from the
journal need to account for this in order to avoid trying to limit the
output we check in tests.
* Run keystore management tests on docker distros (#50610)
* Add Docker handling to PackagingTestCase
Keystore tests need to be able to run in the Docker case. We can do this
by using a DockerShell instead of a plain Shell when Docker is running.
* Improve ES startup check for docker
Previously we were checking truncated output for the packaged JDK as
an indication that Elasticsearch had started. With new preliminary
password checks, we might get a false positive from ES keystore
commands, so we have to check specifically that the Elasticsearch
class from the Bootstrap package is what's running.
* Test password-protected keystore with Docker (#50803)
This commit adds two tests for the case where we mount a
password-protected keystore into a Docker container and provide a
password via a Docker environment variable.
We also fix a logging bug where we were logging the identifier for an
array of strings rather than the contents of that array.
* Add documentation for keystore startup prompting (#50821)
When a keystore is password-protected, Elasticsearch will prompt at
startup. This commit adds documentation for this prompt for the archive,
systemd, and Docker cases.

* Warn when unable to upgrade keystore on debian (#51011)
For Red Hat RPM upgrades, we warn if we can't upgrade the keystore. This
commit brings the same logic to the code for Debian packages. See the
posttrans file for gets executed for RPMs.
* Restore handling of string input
Adds tests that were mistakenly removed. One of these tests proved
we were not handling the the stdin (-x) option correctly when no
input was added. This commit restores the original approach of
reading stdin one char at a time until there is no more (-1, \r, \n)
instead of using readline() that might return null
* Apply spotless reformatting
* Use '--since' flag to get recent journal messages
When we get Elasticsearch logs from journald, we want to fetch only log
messages from the last run. There are two reasons for this. First, if
there are many logs, we might get a string that's too large for our
utility methods. Second, when we're looking for a specific message or
error, we almost certainly want to look only at messages from the last
execution.
Previously, we've been trying to do this by clearing out the physical
files under the journald process. But there seems to be some contention
over these directories: if journald writes a log file in between when
our deletion command deletes the file and when it deletes the log
directory, the deletion will fail.
It seems to me that we might be able to use journald's "--since" flag to
retrieve only log messages from the last run, and that this might be
less likely to fail due to race conditions in file deletion.
Unfortunately, it looks as if the "--since" flag has a granularity of
one-second. I've added a two-second sleep to make sure that there's a
sufficient gap between the test that will read from journald and the
test before it.

In 2bb31fe (v0.6.0!) we added DEBUG-level logging to the default config of
action loggers "for easier debugging". This change to the default config lives
on to this day. It does not obviously make debugging any easier any more, but
it does result in a good deal of log noise sometimes. This commit removes this
special case from the default config.

The way it was originally written, it sounds like
we are boosting at query time.
Of course, the effect is at query time,
but the point here is that boosting is done at index time
* [ML][Inference] add tags url param to GET (#51330)
Adds a new URL parameter, `tags` to the GET _ml/inference/<model_id> endpoint.
This parameter allows the list of models to be further reduced to those who contain all the provided tags.
The regex for the response to `GET _cat/health?v` in `getting-started.asciidoc`
requires `max_task_wait_time` to match `(-|\\d+(micros|ms|s))`, which doesn't
match times such as `3.9ms` that contain a decimal point. This commit adjusts
the regex to match times formatted like this too.
Fixes#47537
The method parameter is not used in the percentile aggs, instead
the method is determined by the presence of `hdr` or `tdigest`
objects.

Add the character position of a scripting error to error responses.
The contents of the `position` field are experimental and subject to
change. Currently, `offset` refers to the character location where the
error was encountered, `start` and `end` define a range of characters
that contain the error.
eg.
```
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "script_exception",
"reason": "runtime error",
"script_stack": [
"y = x;",
" ^---- HERE"
],
"script": "def x = new ArrayList(); Map y = x;",
"lang": "painless",
"position": {
"offset": 33,
"start": 29,
"end": 35
}
}
```
