Today there are a few places in the transport layer docs where we talk
about communication between nodes _within a cluster_. We also use the
transport layer for remote cluster connections, and these statements
also apply there, but this is not clear from today's docs. This commit
generalises these statements to make it clear that they apply to remote
cluster connections too.
It also adds a link from the docs on configuring TCP retries to the
(deeply-buried) docs on preserving long-lived connections.
Keepalive options are not well-documented (only in transport section, although also available at http and network level).

keepalives tell any intermediate devices that the connection remains alive, which helps with overzealous firewalls that are
killing idle connections. keepalives are enabled by default in Elasticsearch, but use system defaults for their
configuration, which often times do not have reasonable defaults (e.g. 7200s for TCP_KEEP_IDLE) in the context of
distributed systems such as Elasticsearch.
This PR sets the socket-level keep_alive options for network.tcp.{keep_idle,keep_interval} to 5 minutes on configurations
that support it (>= Java 11 & (MacOS || Linux)) and where the system defaults are set to something higher than 5
minutes. This helps keep the connections alive while not interfering with system defaults or user-specified settings
unless they are deemed to be set too high by providing better out-of-the-box defaults.
Uses JDK 11's per-socket configuration of TCP keepalive (supported on Linux and Mac), see
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8194298, and exposes these as transport settings.
By default, these options are disabled for now (i.e. fall-back to OS behavior), but we would like
to explore whether we can enable them by default, in particular to force keepalive configurations
that are better tuned for running ES.
This is a follow-up to some discussions around #36399. Currently we have
relatively confusing compression behavior where compression can be
configured for requests based on transport.compress or a specific
setting for a remote cluster. However, we can only compress responses
based on transport.compress as we do not know where a request is
coming from (currently).
This commit modifies the behavior to NEVER compress responses based on
settings. Instead, a response will only be compressed if the request was
compressed. This commit also updates the documentation to more clearly
described transport level compression.
This is related to #36652. In 7.0 we plan to deprecate a number of
settings that make reference to the concept of a tcp transport. We
mostly just have a single transport type now (based on tcp). Settings
should only reference tcp if they are referring to socket options. This
commit updates the settings in the docs. And removes string usages of
the old settings. Additionally it adds a missing remote compress setting
to the docs.
When we connect to remote clusters, there may be a few more routers/firewalls in-between compared to when we connect to nodes in the same cluster. We've experienced cases where firewalls drop connections completely and keep-alives seem not to be enough, or they are not properly configured. With this commit we allow to enable application-level pings specifically from CCS nodes to the selected remote nodes through the new setting `cluster.remote.${clusterAlias}.transport.ping_schedule`. The new setting is similar `transport.ping_schedule` but it does not affect intra-cluster communication, pings are only sent to specific remote cluster when specifically enabled, as they are disabled by default.
Relates to #34405
We do not support intra-cluster connections on multiple interfaces, but the
documentation indicates that we will in future. In fact there is currently no
plan to support this, so the forward-looking documentation is misleading. This
commit
- removes the misleading sentence
- fixes that a transport profile affects outbound connections, not inbound ones
- tidies up some nearby text
This change proposes the removal of all non-tcp transport implementations. The
mock transport can be used by default to run tests instead of local transport that has
roughly the same performance compared to TCP or at least not noticeably slower.
This is a master only change, deprecation notice in 5.x will be committed as a
separate change.
In 7560101ec7, the Elasticsearch logger
names were modified to be their fully-qualified class name (with some
exceptions for special loggers like the slow logs and the transport
tracer). This commit updates the docs accordingly.
Relates #20475
The request tracer logs in TRACE level under the `transport.tracer` log and is dynamically configurable with include and exclude arrays to filter out unneeded info. By default all requests are logged with the exception of fault detection pings (fired every second).
add the notion of tracers in the MockTransportService for testing purposes
Closes#9286
This patch allows to create several netty bootstrap, each of which
listening on different ports. This will potentially allow for features
to listen to different network interfaces for node-to-node or node-to-client
communication and is also the base to listen to several interfaces, so that those
can be used to speed up cluster communication in the future.
