On some systems these utilities are in /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl
and /usr/sbin/sysctl, and on others the /usr is dropped. This commit
accounts for that fact.
Our docs claim that we set vm.max_map_count automatically. This is not
quite the case. The story is that on SysV init we set vm.max_map_count
each time the service starts, which is good. On systemd, we create a
sysctl.d conf file that sets vm.map_max_count, but this is only
meaningful if the system is rebooted after package install. This commit
modifies the post-install script so that we run systemd-sysctl so that
the vm.max_map_count change occurs after package install without a
reboot.

Given that the default is now 1, the comment in the config file was outdated. Also considering that the default value is production ready, we shouldn't list it among the values that need attention when going to production.

When installing the Windows service, certain settings like the minimum
heap, maximum heap and thread stack size setting must be set. While
there is an error message making mention of this fact, the error message
is not explicit exactly what setting needs to be set. This commit makes
these settings explicit.

Currently we always pass -E to the the plugin cli with the conf dir, but
this causes a very confusing error message when not giving a specific
command to the plugin cli. This change makes path.conf pass just like
path.home. These are special settings, so passing via sysprops is the
right thing to do (it is all about how we pass between shell and java
cli).

When upgrading elasticsearch using the RPM package, the scripts directory is removed if it's empty but it won't be recreated by the upgraded package. But after that the service won't start because the scripts dir is missing.
This commit modifies the logger names within Elasticsearch to be the
fully-qualified class name as opposed removing the org.elasticsearch
prefix and dropping the class name. This change separates the root
logger from the Elasticsearch loggers (they were equated from the
removal of the org.elasticsearch prefix) and enables log levels to be
set at the class level (instead of the package level).
Relates #20457
Today we add a prefix when logging within Elasticsearch. This prefix
contains the node name, and index and shard-level components if
appropriate.
Due to some implementation details with Log4j 2 , this does not work for
integration tests; instead what we see is the node name for the last
node to startup. The implementation detail here is that Log4j 2 there is
only one logger for a name, message factory pair, and the key derived
from the message factory is the class name of the message factory. So,
when the last node starts up and starts setting prefixes on its message
factories, it will impact the loggers for the other nodes.
Additionally, the prefixes are lost when logging an exception. This is
due to another implementation detail in Log4j 2. Namely, since we log
exceptions using a parameterized message, Log4j 2 decides that that
means that we do not want to use the message factory that we have
provided (the prefix message factory) and so logs the exception without
the prefix.
This commit fixes both of these issues.

This commit adds a -q/--quiet option to Elasticsearch so that it does not log anything in the console and closes stdout & stderr streams. This is useful for SystemD to avoid duplicate logs in both journalctl and /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log while still allows the JVM to print error messages in stdout/stderr if needed.
closes#17220
The Elasticsearch startup scripts contain checks for the presence of
support for environment variables that were removed in the 5.x
series. These checks warn the user and fail the script if any of the
unsupported environment variables are present. This was provided as
migration step from 2.x to 5.x so that we were not just silently
ignoring environment variables that were previously set. This commit
removes these checks, as upgrades from 2.x to 6.x are not supported.
Relates #20404
Previous versions of Elasticsearch permitted unquoted JSON field names even though this is against the JSON spec. This leniency was disabled by default in the 5.x series of Elasticsearch but a backwards compatibility layer was added via a system property with the intention of removing this layer in 6.0.0. This commit removes this backwards compatibility layer.

-D parameters used to be allowed when starting elasticsearch scripts.
However, this was removed in #18207, but the elasticsearch-plugin.bat script
was forgotten. This change removes the -D handling.
Jython shades `jansi` into it's classpath without changing it's package or
anything like that. This causes attempts to load native code on windows which
blows up tests. This change adds `log4j.skipJansi=true` system property to our
tests as well as to the JVM properties we set.
This commit configures the deprecation logs to be size-limited to 1 GB,

The deprecation logger is an important way to make visible features of
Elasticsearch that are deprecated. Yet, the default logging makes the
log messages for the deprecation logger invisible. We want these log
messages to be visible, so the default logging for the deprecation
logger should enable these log messages. This commit changes the log
level of deprecation log message to warn, and configures the deprecation
logger so that these log messages are visible out of the box.

Netty replaces the backing set for the selector implementation. The
value of doing this is questionable, and doing this requires permissions
that we are not going to grant. This commit explicitly disables this
optimization rather than relying on it failing due to lack of
permissions.

the setting in elasticsearch.yml, so that when a user uncomments
out a setting by just removing the #, the setting actually
takes effect. Before, it was very easy to uncomment out a
setting by just removing the #, leaving a single whitespace
character before the setting name, which would cause the
setting to not get picked up by Elasticsearch.
Closes#20090
This commit fixes the handling of spaces in the path to the jvm.options
file on Windows. The issue is that the extraneous set of quotes were
included as part of the value of ES_JVM_OPTIONS thus confusing further
downstream commands.

With the security permissions that we grant to Netty, Netty can not
access unsafe (because it relies on having the runtime permission
accessDeclaredMembers and the reflect permission
suppressAccessChecks). Instead, we should just explicitly tell Netty to
not use unsafe. This commit adds a flag to the default jvm.options to
tell Netty to not look for unsafe.

This adds the `bin/elasticsearch-translate` bin file that will be used

Today in the packaging removal scripts, we disable the service in
post-uninstall. Yet, this happens after service files have been
erased. On some systems, this can cause the service disable to fail
leaving behind state causing the service to be enabled on subsequent
installs. This commit moves the service disabling to the pre-uninstall
script to prevent this issue.

Unless explicitly disabled, the parallel new collector is enabled
automatically as soon as the CMS collector is enabled:
void Arguments::set_cms_and_parnew_gc_flags() {
assert(
!UseSerialGC && !UseParallelOldGC && !UseParallelGC,
"Error");
assert(UseConcMarkSweepGC, "CMS is expected to be on here");
// If we are using CMS, we prefer to UseParNewGC,
// unless explicitly forbidden.
if (FLAG_IS_DEFAULT(UseParNewGC)) {
FLAG_SET_ERGO(bool, UseParNewGC, true);
}
While it's fine to be explicit, the UseParNewGC flag is deprecatd in JDK
8 and produces warning messages in JDK 9:
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseParNewGC was
deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future
release.
Thus, we can and should just remove this flag from the default JVM
options.

The setting bootstrap.mlockall is useful on both POSIX-like systems

The default jvm.options file ships with the -server flag to force the
server VM on systems where the server VM is not the default. However,
the method of starting the JVM via the Windows service does not support
the command-line flags for selecting the VM because it starts from a
DLL that is specific to the server or client VM. Thus, we need to
filter these options from the jvm.options configuration file when
installing the Windows service.

Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

The plugin script parses command-line options looking for Java system

Relates #18207
Today we softly warn about running with the client VM. However, we
should really refuse to start in production mode if running with the
client VM as the performance of the client VM is too devastating for a
server application. This commit adds an option to jvm.options to ensure
that we are starting with the server VM (on all 32-bit non-Windows
platforms on server-class machines (2+ CPUs, 2+ GB physical RAM) this is
the default and on all 64-bit platforms this is the only option) and
adds a bootstrap check for the client VM.
Relates #18155
Today we specify the client option for the JVM when executing plugin
commands. Yet, this option does nothing on a 64-bit capable JDK as such
JDKs always select the Hotspot server VM. And for 32-bit JDKs, running
plugin commands with the server VM is okay. Thus, we should just remove
this unnecessary flag and just let the default VM be selected.

This changes our packaging to be explicit about the permissions of files
and directories in the tar.gz, rpm, and deb packages. This is to protect
against a user having an incorrectly set umask when installing.
Additionally, plugins that are installed now have their permissions set
by the plugin installation so that plugins that may have been packaged
with incorrect permissions are secured.

In Elasticsearch 5.0.0, by default unquoted field names in JSON will be
rejected. This can cause issues, however, for documents that were
already indexed with unquoted field names. To alleviate this, a system
property has been added that can be enabled so migration can occur.
This system property will be removed in Elasticsearch 6.0.0
Resolves#17674
This commit simplifies the default JVM options that ship with
Elasticsearch. In particular, expert settings that were previously
configurable via environment variables have been removed from the
default configuration file. Further, the heap size settings have been
moved to the top of the file with a clearer message that is in
concordance with their importance.
