This commit overhauls the documentation of discovery and cluster coordination,
removing mention of the Zen Discovery module and replacing it with docs for the
new cluster coordination mechanism introduced in 7.0.
Relates #32006
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.
Today we support a static list of seed hosts in core Elasticsearch, and allow a
dynamic list of seed hosts to be provided via a file using the `discovery-file`
plugin. In fact the ability to provide a dynamic list of seed hosts is
increasingly useful, so this change moves this functionality to core
Elasticsearch to avoid the need for a plugin.
Furthermore, in order to start up nodes in integration tests we currently
assign a known port to each node before startup, which unfortunately sometimes
fails if another process grabs the selected port in the meantime. By moving the
`discovery-file` functionality into the core product we can use it to avoid
this race.
This change also moves the expected path to the file from
`$ES_PATH_CONF/discovery-file/unicast_hosts.txt` to
`$ES_PATH_CONF/unicast_hosts.txt`. An example of this file is not included in
distributions.
For BWC purposes the plugin still exists, but does nothing more than create the
example file in the old location, and issue a warning when it is used. We also
continue to support the old location for the file, but warn about its
deprecation.

This commit adds a small note to the discovery docs to include a note
that we recommend that the unicast hosts list be maintained as the list
of master-eligible nodes in the cluster.
Relates #25991
This commit adds a link to the minimum master nodes section of the
important settings docs from the Zen discovery docs to clarify the
meaning and importance of setting minimum master nodes to a quorum of
master-eligible nodes.
Relates #24311
Today when you do not specify a port for an entry in
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts, the default port is the value of the
setting transport.profiles.default.port and falls back to the value of
transport.tcp.port if this is not set. For a node that is explicitly
bound to a different port than the default port, this means that the
default port will be equal to this explicitly bound port. Yet, the docs
say that we fall back to 9300 here. This commit corrects the docs.
Relates #22568
Today we eagerly resolve unicast hosts. This means that if DNS changes,
we will never find the host at the new address. Moreover, a single host
failng to resolve causes startup to abort. This commit introduces lazy
resolution of unicast hosts. If a DNS entry changes, there is an
opportunity for the host to be discovered. Note that under the Java
security manager, there is a default positive cache of infinity for
resolved hosts; this means that if a user does want to operate in an
environment where DNS can change, they must adjust
networkaddress.cache.ttl in their security policy. And if a host fails
to resolve, we warn log the hostname but continue pinging other
configured hosts.
When doing DNS resolutions for unicast hostnames, we wait until the DNS
lookups timeout. This appears to be forty-five seconds on modern JVMs,
and it is not configurable. If we do these serially, the cluster can be
blocked during ping for a lengthy period of time. This commit introduces
doing the DNS lookups in parallel, and adds a user-configurable timeout
for these lookups.

As discussed at https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-azure/issues/91#issuecomment-229113595, we know that the current `discovery-azure` plugin only works with Azure Classic VMs / Services (which is somehow Legacy now).
The proposal here is to rename `discovery-azure` to `discovery-azure-classic` in case some users are using it.
And deprecate it for 5.0.
Closes#19144.
We currently have a `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_client` setting that control whether their ping responses are ignored for master election (which is the current default). With the push to treat client nodes as normal nodes (and promote the transport/rest clients for client work), this should be changed. This commit remove this setting and it's companion `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_data` setting (currently defaulting to false) in favor of singe `discovery.zen.master_election.ignore_non_master_pings` setting with more intuitive name (defaulting to false).

Until now we had a cloud-azure plugin which is providing 3 distinct features:
* discovery on Azure
* snapshot/restore on Aure
* SMB store
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
Until now we had a cloud-aws plugin which is providing 2 disctinct features:
* discovery on EC2
* snapshot/restore on S3
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
Multicast has known issues (see #12999 and #12993). This change moves
multicast into a plugin, and deprecates it in the docs. It also allows
for plugging in multiple zen ping implementations.

Handle node mode across entire test cluster
We used static methods reading sys properties to define the node mode
per cluster. this had lots of problems when tests couldn't cope with
mixed or only local mode. Now we are passing it down to the cluster from the test
which allows to @SuppressNetworkMode / @SupressLocalMode on the test to force
consistent node configurations.

Default to unicast discovery, with default host list of 127.0.0.1, [::1]
When elasticsearch is configured by interface (or default: loopback interfaces),
bind to all addresses on the interface rather than an arbitrary one.
If the publish address is not specified, default it from the bound addresses
based on the following sort ordering:
* ipv4/ipv6 (java.net.preferIPv4Stack, defaults to true)
* ordinary addresses
* site-local addresses
* link local addresses
* loopback addresses
One one address is published, and multicast is still always over ipv4: these
need to be future improvements.

Fix transport / interface code
Next up: multicast and then http
This commit updates the Zen Discovery documentation to explain which
nodes partcipate in master election (by default) as well as the
configuration parameters for controlling this.
Closes#12727
During master election each node pings in order to discover other nodes and validate the liveness of existing nodes. Based on this information the node either discovers an existing master or, if enough nodes are found (based on `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes>>) a new master will be elected.
Currently, the node that is elected as master will currently update it the cluster state to indicate the result of the election. Other nodes will submit a join request to the newly elected master node. Instead of immediately processing the election result, the elected master
node should wait for the incoming joins from other nodes, thus validating the elections result is properly applied. As soon as enough nodes have sent their joins request (based on the `minimum_master_nodes` settings) the cluster state is modified.
Note that if `minimum_master_nodes` is not set, this change has no effect.
Closes#12161
When a node sends a join request to the master, only send back the response after it has been added to the master cluster state and published.
This will fix the rare cases where today, a join request can return, and the master, since its under load, have not yet added the node to its cluster state, and the node that joined will start a fault detect against the master, failing since its not part of the cluster state.
Since now the join request is longer, also increase the join request timeout default.
closes#6480
Using ping.timeout, which defaults to 3s, to use as a timeout value on the join request a node makes to the master once its discovered can be too small, specifically when there is a large cluster state involved (and by definition, all the buffers and such on the nio layer will be "cold"). Introduce a dedicated join.timeout setting, that by default is 10x the ping.timeout (so 30s by default).
