This change removes the `postings` highlighter. This highlighter has been removed from Lucene master (7.x) because it behaves
exactly like the `unified` highlighter when index_options is set to `offsets`:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7815
It also makes the `unified` highlighter the default choice for highlighting a field (if `type` is not provided).
The strategy used internally by this highlighter remain the same as before, it checks `term_vectors` first, then `postings` and ultimately it re-analyzes the text.
Ultimately it rewrites the docs so that the options that the `unified` highlighter cannot handle are clearly marked as such.
There are few features that the `unified` highlighter is not able to handle which is why the other highlighters (`plain` and `fvh`) are still available.
I'll open separate issues for these features and we'll deprecate the `fvh` and `plain` highlighters when full support for these features have been added to the `unified`.
The index parameter in the update-aliases, put-alias, and delete-alias APIs no longer accepts alias names. Instead, it accepts only index names (or wildcards which will expand to matching indices).
Closes#23960
This removes the parsing of things like `GET /idx/_aliases,_mappings`, instead,
a user must choose between retriving all index metadata with `GET /idx`, or only
a specific form such as `GET /idx/_settings`.
Relates to (and is a prerequisite of) #24437
Some response classes in the java api expose both `getTook()` which returns a `TimeValue` and `getTookInMillis` which returns a `long` value. `getTook()` is enough as one can do `getTook().millis()` to obtain the same result as `getTookInMillis()`, which can be removed.
Currently a `delete document` request against a non-existing index actually **creates** this index.
With this change the `delete document` no longer creates the previously non-existing index and throws an `index_not_found` exception instead.
However as discussed in https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/15451#issuecomment-165772026, if an external version is explicitly used, the current behavior is preserved and the index is still created and the document is marked for deletion.
Fixes#15425
Native scripts have been replaced in documentation by implementing
a ScriptEngine and they were deprecated in 5.5.0. This commit
removes the native script infrastructure for 6.0.
closes#19966
In scripts (at least some of the languages), the terms dictionary and
postings can be access with the special _index variable. This is for
very advanced use cases which want to do their own scoring. The problem
is segment level statistics must be recomputed for every document.
Additionally, this is not friendly to the terms index caching as the
order of looking up terms should be controlled by lucene.
This change removes _index from scripts. Anyone using it can and should
instead write a Similarity plugin, which is explicitly designed to allow
doing the calculations needed for a relevance score.
closes#19359
This commit adds support for histogram and date_histogram agg compound order by refactoring and reusing terms agg order code. The major change is that the Terms.Order and Histogram.Order classes have been replaced/refactored into a new class BucketOrder. This is a breaking change for the Java Transport API. For backward compatibility with previous ES versions the (date)histogram compound order will use the first order. Also the _term and _time aggregation order keys have been deprecated; replaced by _key.
Relates to #20003: now that all these aggregations use the same order code, it should be easier to move validation to parse time (as a follow up PR).
Relates to #14771: histogram and date_histogram aggregation order will now be validated at reduce time.
Closes#23613: if a single BucketOrder that is not a tie-breaker is added with the Java Transport API, it will be converted into a CompoundOrder with a tie-breaker.
Now that indices have a single type by default, we can move to the next step
and identify documents using their `_id` rather than the `_uid`.
One notable change in this commit is that I made deletions implicitly create
types. This helps with the live version map in the case that documents are
deleted before the first type is introduced. Otherwise there would be no way
to differenciate `DELETE index/foo/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1` from
`DELETE index/bar/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1`, even though those are
different if versioning is involved.
Today we go to heroic lengths to workaround bugs in the JDK or around
issues like BSD jails to get information about the underlying file
store. For example, we went to lengths to work around a JDK bug where
the file store returned would incorrectly report whether or not a path
is writable in certain situations in Windows operating
systems. Another bug prevented getting file store information on
Windows on a virtual drive on Windows. We no longer need to work
around these bugs, we could simply try to write to disk and let an I/O
exception arise if we could not write to the disk or take advantage of
the fact that these bugs are fixed in recent releases of the JDK
(e.g., the file store bug is fixed since 8u72). Additionally, we
collected information about all file stores on the system which meant
that if the user had a stale NFS mount, Elasticsearch could hang and
fail on startup if that mount point was not available. Finally, we
collected information through Lucene about whether or not a disk was a
spinning disk versus an SSD, information that we do not need since we
assume SSDs by default. This commit takes into consideration that we
simply do not need this heroic effort, we do not need information
about all file stores, and we do not need information about whether or
not a disk spins to greatly simplfy file store handling.

Open/Close index api have allow_no_indices set to false by default, while delete index has it set to true. The flag controls where a wildcard expression that matches no indices will be ignored or an error will be thrown instead. This commit aligns open/close default behaviour to that of delete index.
This change makes the request builder code-path same as `Client#execute`. The request builder used to return a `ListenableActionFuture` when calling execute, which allows to associate listeners with the returned future. For async execution though it is recommended to use the `execute` method that accepts an `ActionListener`, like users would do when using `Client#execute`.

The `count` value in the stats aggregation represents a simple doc count
that doesn't require a formatted version. We didn't render an "as_string"
version for count in the rest response, so the method should also be
removed in favour of just using String.valueOf(getCount()) if a string
version of the count is needed.
Closes#24287
This commit removes the deprecated cloud.aws.* settings. It also removes
backcompat for specifying `discovery.type: ec2`, and unused aws signer
code which was removed in a previous PR.
We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.
Some notes about the change:
- it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
- it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
- two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
This commit removes some leniency from the plugin service which skips
hidden files in the plugins directory. We really want to ensure the
integrity of the plugin folder, so hasta la vista leniency.

As the query of a search request defaults to match_all,
calling _delete_by_query without an explicit query may
result in deleting all data.
In order to protect users against falling into that
pitfall, this commit adds a check to require the explicit
setting of a query.
Closes#23629
Today we have multiple ways to define settings when a user needs to create a repository:
* in `elasticsearch.yml` file using `repositories.azure` prefix
* when creating the repository itself with `PUT _snaphot/repo`
The plan is to:
* Deprecate `repositories.azure` settings in 5.x (done with #22856)
* Remove in 6.x (this PR)

This commit enforces the requirement of Content-Type for the REST layer and removes the deprecated methods in transport
requests and their usages.
While doing this, it turns out that there are many places where *Entity classes are used from the apache http client
libraries and many of these usages did not specify the content type. The methods that do not specify a content type
explicitly have been added to forbidden apis to prevent more of these from entering our code base.

Since `_all` is now deprecated and cannot be set for new indices, we should also
disallow any field that has the `include_in_all` parameter set.
Resolves#22923
This changes the way that replica failures are handled such that not all
failures will cause the replica shard to be failed or marked as stale.
In some cases such as refresh operations, or global checkpoint syncs, it is
"okay" for the operation to fail without the shard being failed (because no data
is out of sync). In these cases, instead of failing the shard we should simply
fail the operation, and, in the event it is a user-facing operation, return a
5xx response code including the shard-specific failures.
This was accomplished by having two forms of the `Replicas` proxy, one that is
for non-write operations that does not fail the shard, and one that is for write
operations that will fail the shard when an operation fails.

It was accidentally renamed `enabled_position_increment` in the cleanups
for 5.0. This adds `enable_position_increment` as a deprecated alias
so it will continue to work.
This commit removes the following queries and parameters (which were deprecated in 5.0):
* GeoPointDistanceRangeQuery
* coerce, and ignore_malformed for GeoBoundingBoxQuery, GeoDistanceQuery, GeoPolygonQuery, and GeoDistanceSort
This change adds a strict mode for xcontent parsing on the rest layer. The strict mode will be off by default for 5.x and in a separate commit will be enabled by default for 6.0. The strict mode, which can be enabled by setting `http.content_type.required: true` in 5.x, will require that all incoming rest requests have a valid and supported content type header before the request is dispatched. In the non-strict mode, the Content-Type header will be inspected and if it is not present or not valid, we will continue with auto detection of content like we have done previously.
The content type header is parsed to the matching XContentType value with the only exception being for plain text requests. This value is then passed on with the content bytes so that we can reduce the number of places where we need to auto-detect the content type.
As part of this, many transport requests and builders were updated to provide methods that
accepted the XContentType along with the bytes and the methods that would rely on auto-detection have been deprecated.
In the non-strict mode, deprecation warnings are issued whenever a request with body doesn't provide the Content-Type header.

This change removes the ability to set region for s3 repositories.
Endpoint should be used instead if a custom s3 location needs to be
used.

Follow up of #22857 where we deprecate automatic creation of azure containers.
BTW I found that the `AzureSnapshotRestoreServiceIntegTests` does not bring any value because it runs basically a Snapshot/Restore operation on local files which we already test in core.
So instead of trying to fix it to make it pass with this PR, I simply removed it.
