We currently have a specific REST action to retrieve all aliaes, which
uses internally the get index API. This doesn't seem to be required
anymore though as the existing RestGetAliaesAction could as well take
the requests with no indices and aliases specified.
This commit removes the RestGetAllAliasesAction in favour of using
RestGetAliasesAction also for requests that don't specify indices nor
aliases. Similar to #31129.
We currently have a specific REST action to retrieve all indices and types mappings, which used internally the get index API. This doesn't seem to be required anymore though as the existing RestGetMappingAction could as well take the requests with no indices and types specified.
This commit removes the RestGetAllMappingsAction in favour of using RestGetMappingAction also for requests that don't specify indices nor types.
We currently have a separate endpoint for retrieving settings from all indices. We introduced such endpoint when removing comma-separated feature parsing for GetIndicesAction. The RestGetAllSettingsAction duplicates the code to print out the response that we already have in GetSettingsResponse (since it became a ToXContentObject), and uses the get index API internally instead of the get settings API, but the response is the same, hence we can fold get all settings and get settings in a single API, which is what this commit does.
This PR adds support for the Get Settings API to the java high-level rest client.
Furthermore, logic related to the retrieval of default settings has been moved from the rest layer into the transport layer and now default settings may be retrieved consistency via both the rest API and the transport API.
The REST resize handlers for shrink/split operations are effectively the
same code with a minor difference. This commit collapse these handlers
into a single base class.
