This is the first x-pack API we're adding to the high level REST client
so there is a lot to talk about here!
= Open source
The *client* for these APIs is open source. We're taking the previously
Elastic licensed files used for the `Request` and `Response` objects and
relicensing them under the Apache 2 license.
The implementation of these features is staying under the Elastic
license. This lines up with how the rest of the Elasticsearch language
clients work.
= Location of the new files
We're moving all of the `Request` and `Response` objects that we're
relicensing to the `x-pack/protocol` directory. We're adding a copy of
the Apache 2 license to the root fo the `x-pack/protocol` directory to
line up with the language in the root `LICENSE.txt` file. All files in
this directory will have the Apache 2 license header as well. We don't
want there to be any confusion. Even though the files are under the
`x-pack` directory, they are Apache 2 licensed.
We chose this particular directory layout because it keeps the X-Pack
stuff together and easier to think about.
= Location of the API in the REST client
We've been following the layout of the rest-api-spec files for other
APIs and we plan to do this for the X-Pack APIs with one exception:
we're dropping the `xpack` from the name of most of the APIs. So
`xpack.graph.explore` will become `graph().explore()` and
`xpack.license.get` will become `license().get()`.
`xpack.info` and `xpack.usage` are special here though because they
don't belong to any proper category. For now I'm just calling
`xpack.info` `xPackInfo()` and intend to call usage `xPackUsage` though
I'm not convinced that this is the final name for them. But it does get
us started.
= Jars, jars everywhere!
This change makes the `xpack:protocol` project a `compile` scoped
dependency of the `x-pack:plugin:core` and `client:rest-high-level`
projects. I intend to keep it a compile scoped dependency of
`x-pack:plugin:core` but I intend to bundle the contents of the protocol
jar into the `client:rest-high-level` jar in a follow up. This change
has grown large enough at this point.
In that followup I'll address javadoc issues as well.
= Breaking-Java
This breaks that transport client by a few classes around. We've
traditionally been ok with doing this to the transport client.
Register SQL as an xpackModule
Specify group for SQL QA to disambiguate projects (otherwise due to an
old Gradle bug (https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/847) any
subprojects under SQL QA will not be able to refer to SQL xpackModule

For 6.3 we renamed the `tar` and `zip` distributions to `oss-tar` and
`oss-zip`. Then we added new `tar` and `zip` distributions that contain
x-pack and are licensed under the Elastic License. Unfortunately we
accidentally generated POM files along side the new `tar` and `zip`
distributions that incorrectly claimed that they were Apache 2 licensed.
Oooops.
This fixes the license on the POMs generated for the `tar` and `zip`
distributions.
Adds tasks that check that the all jars that we build have LICENSE.txt
and NOTICE.txt files and that the files are correct. Sets check to
depend on these task.
This is mostly there for extra parnoia because we automatically
configure all Jar tasks to include the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt
files anyway. But it is quite possible to add configuration to those
tasks that would override either file.
This causes check to depend on several more things than it used to.
Take, for example, javadoc:
check depends on the new verifyJavadocJarNotice which depends on
extractJavadocJar which depends on javadocJar which depends on
javadoc, this check now depends on javadoc.
This commit moves the apache and elastic license files into a new
root level `licenses` directory and rewrites the top level LICENSE.txt
to clarify the repository has a mix of apache and elastic licensed code.
This commit adapts the license headers check to no longer look for the
ealsticsearch confidential license, but instead to look for the new
Elastic License header.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
