The docs specify that cluster.remote.connect disables cross-cluster
search. This is correct, but not fully accurate as it disables any
functionality that relies on remote cluster connections: cross-cluster
search, remote data feeds, and cross-cluster replication. This commit
updates the docs to reflect this.
Today the docs say that the low watermark has no effect on any shards that have
never been allocated, but this is confusing. Here "shard" means "replication
group" not "shard copy" but this conflicts with the "never been allocated"
qualifier since one allocates shard copies and not replication groups.
This commit removes the misleading words. A newly-created replication group
remains newly-created until one of its copies is assigned, which might be quite
some time later, but it seems better to leave this implicit.
Clarifies not to set `cluster.initial_master_nodes` on nodes that are joining
an existing cluster.

Setting `cluster.routing.allocation.disk.include_relocations` to `false` is a
bad idea since it will lead to the kinds of overshoot that were otherwise fixed
in #46079. This commit deprecates this setting so it can be removed in the next
major release.
We added docs for proxy mode in #40281 but on reflection we should not be
documenting this setting since it does not play well with all proxies and we
can't recommend its use. This commit removes those docs and expands its Javadoc
instead.
The changes in #32006 mean that the discovery process can no longer use
master-ineligible nodes as a stepping-stone between master-eligible nodes.
This was normally an indication of a strange and possibly-fragile configuration
and was not recommended, but this commit adds a note to the breaking changes
docs to note that this kind of configuration is more obviously broken in recent
versions.
This is a follow up of #19191 for 7.x.
This change adds a system property called "es.routing.search_ignore_awareness_attributes" that when set to true will
effectively ignore allocation awareness attributes when routing search and get requests. This is now the default in 8.x so this
commit adds a way to opt-in to this new behavior in a minor version of 7.x.

* Repository Cleanup Endpoint (#43900)
* Snapshot cleanup functionality via transport/REST endpoint.
* Added all the infrastructure for this with the HLRC and node client
* Made use of it in tests and resolved relevant TODO
* Added new `Custom` CS element that tracks the cleanup logic.
Kept it similar to the delete and in progress classes and gave it
some (for now) redundant way of handling multiple cleanups but only allow one
* Use the exact same mechanism used by deletes to have the combination
of CS entry and increment in repository state ID provide some
concurrency safety (the initial approach of just an entry in the CS
was not enough, we must increment the repository state ID to be safe
against concurrent modifications, otherwise we run the risk of "cleaning up"
blobs that just got created without noticing)
* Isolated the logic to the transport action class as much as I could.
It's not ideal, but we don't need to keep any state and do the same
for other repository operations
(like getting the detailed snapshot shard status)
Adds to the `index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete` docs the information that
this block may be added or removed automatically, and rewords the
breaking-changes docs to mention the blocks explicitly and to recommend using a
different block.
Relates #42559
If a node exceeds the flood-stage disk watermark then we add a block to all of
its indices to prevent further writes as a last-ditch attempt to prevent the
node completely exhausting its disk space. However today this block remains in
place until manually removed, and this block is a source of confusion for users
who current have ample disk space and did not even realise they nearly ran out
at some point in the past.
This commit changes our behaviour to automatically remove this block when a
node drops below the high watermark again. The expectation is that the high
watermark is some distance below the flood-stage watermark and therefore the
disk space problem is truly resolved.
Fixes#39334
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.
Today the lag detector may remove nodes from the cluster if they fail to apply
a cluster state within a reasonable timeframe, but it is rather unclear from
the default logging that this has occurred and there is very little extra
information beyond the fact that the removed node was lagging. Moreover the
only forewarning that the lag detector might be invoked is a message indicating
that cluster state publication took unreasonably long, which does not contain
enough information to investigate the problem further.
This commit adds a good deal more detail to make the issues of slow nodes more
prominent:
- after 10 seconds (by default) we log an INFO message indicating that a
publication is still waiting for responses from some nodes, including the
identities of the problematic nodes.
- when the publication times out after 30 seconds (by default) we log a WARN
message identifying the nodes that are still pending.
- the lag detector logs a more detailed warning when a fatally-lagging node is
detected.
- if applying a cluster state takes too long then the cluster applier service
logs a breakdown of all the tasks it ran as part of that process.
Most of the circuit breaker settings are dynamically configurable.
However, `indices.breaker.total.use_real_memory` is not. With this
commit we add a clarifying note that this specific setting is static.

elastic/elasticsearch#41281 added custom metadata parameter to
snapshots. During review, the parameter name was changed from '_meta' to
'metadata,' but the documentation wasn't updated. This corrects the
documentation to use the 'metadata' name.
* Add Snapshot Lifecycle Management (#43934)
* Add SnapshotLifecycleService and related CRUD APIs
This commit adds `SnapshotLifecycleService` as a new service under the ilm
plugin. This service handles snapshot lifecycle policies by scheduling based on
the policies defined schedule.
This also includes the get, put, and delete APIs for these policies
Relates to #38461
* Make scheduledJobIds return an immutable set
* Use Object.equals for SnapshotLifecyclePolicy
* Remove unneeded TODO
* Implement ToXContentFragment on SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem
* Copy contents of the scheduledJobIds
* Handle snapshot lifecycle policy updates and deletions (#40062)
(Note this is a PR against the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` feature branch)
This adds logic to `SnapshotLifecycleService` to handle updates and deletes for
snapshot policies. Policies with incremented versions have the old policy
cancelled and the new one scheduled. Deleted policies have their schedules
cancelled when they are no longer present in the cluster state metadata.
Relates to #38461
* Take a snapshot for the policy when the SLM policy is triggered (#40383)
(This is a PR for the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
This commit fills in `SnapshotLifecycleTask` to actually perform the
snapshotting when the policy is triggered. Currently there is no handling of the
results (other than logging) as that will be added in subsequent work.
This also adds unit tests and an integration test that schedules a policy and
ensures that a snapshot is correctly taken.
Relates to #38461
* Record most recent snapshot policy success/failure (#40619)
Keeping a record of the results of the successes and failures will aid
troubleshooting of policies and make users more confident that their
snapshots are being taken as expected.
This is the first step toward writing history in a more permanent
fashion.
* Validate snapshot lifecycle policies (#40654)
(This is a PR against the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
With the commit, we now validate the content of snapshot lifecycle policies when
the policy is being created or updated. This checks for the validity of the id,
name, schedule, and repository. Additionally, cluster state is checked to ensure
that the repository exists prior to the lifecycle being added to the cluster
state.

* Hook SLM into ILM's start and stop APIs (#40871)
(This pull request is for the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
This change allows the existing `/_ilm/stop` and `/_ilm/start` APIs to also
manage snapshot lifecycle scheduling. When ILM is stopped all scheduled jobs are
cancelled.

```
Including the `"modified_date"` field when the `?human` field is used.

* Fix test
* Add API to execute SLM policy on demand (#41038)
This commit adds the ability to perform a snapshot on demand for a policy. This
can be useful to take a snapshot immediately prior to performing some sort of
maintenance.
```json
PUT /_ilm/snapshot/<policy>/_execute
```
And it returns the response with the generated snapshot name:
```json
{
"snapshot_name" : "production-snap-2019.04.09-rfyv3j9qreixkdbnfuw0ug"
}
```
Note that this does not allow waiting for the snapshot, and the snapshot could
still fail. It *does* record this information into the cluster state similar to
a regularly trigged SLM job.
Relates to #38461
* Add next_execution to SLM policy metadata (#41221)
* Add next_execution to SLM policy metadata

This adds two more built in roles -
`manage_slm` which has permission to perform any of the SLM actions, as well as

`read_slm` which has permission to retrieve snapshot lifecycle policies as well
as retrieving the operation status of ILM.
Relates to #38461
* Add execute to the test
* Fix ilm -> slm typo in test
* Record SLM history into an index (#41707)
It is useful to have a record of the actions that Snapshot Lifecycle
Management takes, especially for the purposes of alerting when a
snapshot fails or has not been taken successfully for a certain amount of
time.
This adds the infrastructure to record SLM actions into an index that
can be queried at leisure, along with a lifecycle policy so that this
history does not grow without bound.
Additionally,
SLM automatically setting up an index + lifecycle policy leads to
`index_lifecycle` custom metadata in the cluster state, which some of
the ML tests don't know how to deal with due to setting up custom
`NamedXContentRegistry`s. Watcher would cause the same problem, but it
is already disabled (for the same reason).

This commit documents the backup and restore of a cluster's
security configuration.
It is not possible to only backup (or only restore) security
configuration, independent to the rest of the cluster's conf,
so this describes how a full configuration backup&restore
will include security as well. Moreover, it explains how part
of the security conf data resides on the special .security
index and how to backup that using regular data snapshot API.

Clarifies the roles of a dedicated voting-only master-eligible node.
Co-Authored-By: James Rodewig <james.rodewig@elastic.co>
Co-Authored-By: David Turner <david.turner@elastic.co>
A voting-only master-eligible node is a node that can participate in master elections but will not act
as a master in the cluster. In particular, a voting-only node can help elect another master-eligible
node as master, and can serve as a tiebreaker in elections. High availability (HA) clusters require at
least three master-eligible nodes, so that if one of the three nodes is down, then the remaining two
can still elect a master amongst them-selves. This only requires one of the two remaining nodes to
have the capability to act as master, but both need to have voting powers. This means that one of
the three master-eligible nodes can be made as voting-only. If this voting-only node is a dedicated
master, a less powerful machine or a smaller heap-size can be chosen for this node. Alternatively, a
voting-only non-dedicated master node can play the role of the third master-eligible node, which
allows running an HA cluster with only two dedicated master nodes.
Closes#14340
