Changes:
* Moves `Retrieve selected fields` to its own page and adds a title abbreviation.
* Adds existing script and stored fields content to `Retrieve selected fields`
* Adds a xref for `Retrieve selected fields` to `Search your data`
* Adds related redirects and updates existing xrefs
Plugin discovery documentation contained information about installing
Elasticsearch 2.0 and installing an oracle JDK, both of which is no
longer valid.
While noticing that the instructions used cleartext HTTP to install
packages, this commit replaces HTTPs links instead of HTTP where possible.
In addition a few community links have been removed, as they do not seem
to exist anymore.

This feature adds a new `fields` parameter to the search request, which
consults both the document `_source` and the mappings to fetch fields in a
consistent way. The PR merges the `field-retrieval` feature branch.
Addresses #49028 and #55363.
Moves the search sort docs from the deprecated 'Request Body Search'
page to a new subpage of 'Run a search'.
No substantive changes were made to the content.
This cleans up a few rough edged in the `variable_width_histogram`,
mostly found by @wwang500:
1. Setting its tuning parameters in an unexpected order could cause the
request to fail.
2. We checked that the maximum number of buckets was both less than
50000 and MAX_BUCKETS. This drops the 50000.
3. Fixes a divide by 0 that can occur of the `shard_size` is 1.
4. Fixes a divide by 0 that can occur if the `shard_size * 3` overflows
a signed int.
5. Requires `shard_size * 3 / 4` to be at least `buckets`. If it is less
than `buckets` we will very consistently return fewer buckets than
requested. For the most part we expect folks to leave it at the
default. If they change it, we expect it to be much bigger than
`buckets`.
6. Allocate a smaller `mergeMap` in when initially bucketing requests
that don't use the entire `shard_size * 3 / 4`. Its just a waste.
7. Default `shard_size` to `10 * buckets` rather than `100`. It *looks*
like that was our intention the whole time. And it feels like it'd
keep the algorithm humming along more smoothly.
8. Default the `initial_buffer` to `min(10 * shard_size, 50000)` like
we've documented it rather than `5000`. Like the point above, this
feels like the right thing to do to keep the algorithm happy.

Moves the highlighting docs from the deprecated 'Request Body Search'
chapter to the new subpage of the 'Run a search chapter' section.
No substantive changes were made to the content.
This request:
```
POST /_search
{
"aggs": {
"a": {
"adjacency_matrix": {
"filters": {
"1": {
"terms": { "t": { "index": "lookup", "id": "1", "path": "t" } }
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
Would fail with a 500 error and a message like:
```
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "illegal_state_exception",
"reason":"async actions are left after rewrite"
}
]
}
}
```
This fixes that by moving the query rewrite phase from a synchronous
call on the data nodes into the standard aggregation rewrite phase which
can properly handle the asynchronous actions.
Adds an explicit check to `variable_width_histogram` to stop it from
trying to collect from many buckets because it can't. I tried to make it
do so but that is more than an afternoon's project, sadly. So for now we
just disallow it.
Relates to #42035
We're tracking this aggregation's experimental-progress in #58573. We'd
like a little time to be able to make backwards incompatible changes to
the aggregation because we're not 100% sure about the request and
response format yet.
Implements a new histogram aggregation called `variable_width_histogram` which
dynamically determines bucket intervals based on document groupings. These
groups are determined by running a one-pass clustering algorithm on each shard
and then reducing each shard's clusters using an agglomerative
clustering algorithm.
This PR addresses #9572.
The shard-level clustering is done in one pass to minimize memory overhead. The
algorithm was lightly inspired by
[this paper](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1198387). It fetches
a small number of documents to sample the data and determine initial clusters.
Subsequent documents are then placed into one of these clusters, or a new one
if they are an outlier. This algorithm is described in more details in the
aggregation's docs.
At reduce time, a
[hierarchical agglomerative clustering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_clustering)
algorithm inspired by [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.00304)
continually merges the closest buckets from all shards (based on their
centroids) until the target number of buckets is reached.
The final values produced by this aggregation are approximate. Each bucket's
min value is used as its key in the histogram. Furthermore, buckets are merged
based on their centroids and not their bounds. So it is possible that adjacent
buckets will overlap after reduction. Because each bucket's key is its min,
this overlap is not shown in the final histogram. However, when such overlap
occurs, we set the key of the bucket with the larger centroid to the midpoint
between its minimum and the smaller bucket’s maximum:
`min[large] = (min[large] + max[small]) / 2`. This heuristic is expected to
increases the accuracy of the clustering.
Nodes are unable to share centroids during the shard-level clustering phase. In
the future, resolving https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/50863
would let us solve this issue.
It doesn’t make sense for this aggregation to support the `min_doc_count`
parameter, since clusters are determined dynamically. The `order` parameter is
not supported here to keep this large PR from becoming too complex.

* Make it more clear that you can use `month` or `1M`.
* Explain rounding rules
* Consistently use "time zone" instead of "timezone". It looks like both
are right but I see "time zone" much more. And the parameter in
elasticsearch is `time_zone` so we may as well line up.
Closes#56760

This aggregation will perform normalizations of metrics
for a given series of data in the form of bucket values.
The aggregations supports the following normalizations
- rescale 0-1
- rescale 0-100
- percentage of sum
- mean normalization
- z-score normalization
- softmax normalization
To specify which normalization is to be used, it can be specified
in the normalize agg's `normalizer` field.
For example:
```
{
"normalize": {
"buckets_path": <>,
"normalizer": "percent"
}
}
```
Similar to what the moving function aggregation does, except merging windows of percentiles
sketches together instead of cumulatively merging final metrics
Backports #55933 to 7.x
Implements value_count and avg aggregations over Histogram fields as discussed in #53285
- value_count returns the sum of all counts array of the histograms
- avg computes a weighted average of the values array of the histogram by multiplying each value with its associated element in the counts array
Removes an example from the "Document counts are approximate" section of the
terms agg documentation.
As #52377 details, the example was no longer accurate in 7.x or 6.8. Document
counts were more precise than the example presented.
We've opened issue #56025 to discuss re-adding an example later.

Implements Sum aggregation over Histogram fields by summing the value of each bucket multiplied by their count as requested in #53285
Backports #55681 to 7.x
This adds a validation to VSParserHelper to ensure that a field or
script or both are specified by the user. This is technically
required today already, but throws an exception much deeper
in the agg framework and has a very unintuitive error for the user
(as well as eating more resources instead of failing early)
Adds support for filters to T-Test aggregation. The filters can be used to
select populations based on some criteria and use values from the same or
different fields.
Closes#53692
Adds t_test metric aggregation that can perform paired and unpaired two-sample
t-tests. In this PR support for filters in unpaired is still missing. It will
be added in a follow-up PR.
Relates to #53692
* Removes experimental.
* Replaces `"v"` (for value) with `"m"` (for metric).
* Move the note about tiebreaking into the list of limitations of the
sort.
* Explain how you ask for `metrics`.
* Clean up some wording.
* Link to the docs from `top_metrics`.
Closes#51813
This changes the `top_metrics` aggregation to return metrics in their
original type. Since it only supports numerics, that means that dates,
longs, and doubles will come back as stored, with their appropriate
formatter applied.
