In order to be more consistent with what they do, the query cache has been
renamed to request cache and the filter cache has been renamed to query
cache.
A known issue is that package/logger names do no longer match settings names,
please speak up if you think this is an issue.
Here are the settings for which I kept backward compatibility. Note that they
are a bit different from what was discussed on #11569 but putting `cache` before
the name of what is cached has the benefit of making these settings consistent
with the fielddata cache whose size is configured by
`indices.fielddata.cache.size`:
* index.cache.query.enable -> index.requests.cache.enable
* indices.cache.query.size -> indices.requests.cache.size
* indices.cache.filter.size -> indices.queries.cache.size
Close#11569
Today, we disable CORS by default, but if a user simply enables CORS their instance of
elasticsearch will allow cross origin requests from anywhere, as the default value for allowed
origins is `*`.
This changes the default to be `null` so that no origins are allowed and the user must explicitly
specify the origins they wish to allow requests from. The documentation also mentions that there
is a security risk in using `*` as the value.
Closes#11169
In order to be backwards compatible, indices created before 2.x must support
indexing of a unix timestamp and its configured date format. Indices created
with 2.x must configure the `epoch_millis` date formatter in order to
support this.

This adds a new pipeline aggregation, the cumulative sum aggregation. This is a parent aggregation which must be specified as a sub-aggregation to a histogram or date_histogram aggregation. It will add a new aggregation to each bucket containing the sum of a specified metrics over this and all previous buckets.
This commit consolidates several abstractions on the shard level in
ordinary classes not managed by the shard level guice injector.
Several classes have been collapsed into IndexShard and IndexShardGatewayService
was cleaned up to be more lightweight and self-contained. It has also been moved into
the index.shard package and it's operation is renamed from recovery from "gateway" to recovery
from "store" or "shard_store".

This is a follow up to #8143 and #6730 for _timestamp. It removes
support for `path`, as well as any field type settings, and
enables docvalues for _timestamp, for 2.0. Users who need to
adjust these settings can use a date field.
This fixes an issue to allow for negative unix timestamps.
An own printer for epochs instead of just having a parser has been added.
Added docs that only 10/13 length unix timestamps are supported
Added docs in upgrade documentation
Fixes#11478
Replace the previous example which leveraged a range filter, which causes unnecessary confusion about when to use a range filter to create a single bucket or a range aggregation with exactly one member in ranges.
Closes#11704
I was unable to get my BulkProcessor script to work without importing the "ByteSizeUnit" and "ByteSizeValue" classes. Perhaps I overlooked something in the example and do not understand its code.
This changes the parameter name `ignore_like` to the more user friendly name
`unlike`. This later feature generates a query from the terms in `A` but not
from the terms in `B`. This translates to a result set which is like `A` but
unlike `B`. We could have further negatively boosted any documents that have
some `B`, but these documents already do not receive any contribution from
having `B`, and would therefore negatively compete with documents having `A`.
Closes#11117
* QueryBuilders.queryString is now QueryBuilders.queryStringQuery

Closes#9976.
Now that doc values are the default for fielddata, specialized in-memory
formats are becoming an esoteric option. This commit removes such formats:
- `fst` on string fields,
- `compressed` on geo points.
I also removed documentation and tests that the fielddata cache is shared if
you change the format, since this is only true for in-memory fielddata formats
(given that for doc values, the caching is done directly in Lucene).
Information about in-progress snapshot and restore processes is not really metadata and should be represented as a part of the cluster state similar to discovery nodes, routing table, and cluster blocks. Since in-progress snapshot and restore information is no longer part of metadata, this refactoring also enables us to handle cluster blocks in more consistent manner and allow creation of snapshots of a read-only cluster.
Closes#8102
Today we provide the ability to plug in MergePolicy and
we provide the once lucene ships with. We do not recommend to change
the default and even only a small number of expert users would ever touch
this. This commit removes the ancient log byte size and log doc count
merge policy providers, simplifies the MergePolicy wiring and makes the
tiered MP the one and only default. All notions of a merge policy has been
removed from the docs and should be deprecated in the previous version.
Closes#11588
While we had initially planned to keep rivers around in 2.0 to ease migration,
keeping support for rivers is challenging as it conflicts with other important
changes that we want to bring to 2.0 like synchronous dynamic mappings updates.
Nothing impossible to fix, but it would increase the complexity of how we
deal with dynamic mappings updates and manage rivers, while handling dynamic
mappings updates correctly is important for resiliency and rivers are on the go.
So removing rivers in 2.0 may well be a better trade-off.
The ResourceWatcher used settings prefixed `watcher.`, which
potentially could clash with the watcher plugin.
In order to prevent confusion, the settings have been renamed to
`resource.reload` prefixes.
This also uses the deprecation logging infrastructure introduced
in #11033 to log deprecated settings and their alternative at
startup.
Closes#11175
There are different ways to register custom query parsers through plugins, a couple of them work per index via index settings, which is probably even too flexible. There also three different ways to add a global custom query parser through either IndicesQueriesModule or IndicesQueriesRegistry. This commit consolidates the registration of custom query parsers via IndicesQueriesModule#addQuery(Class<? extends QueryParser>). The complexity of supporting parsers per index is not needed hence it got removed. Also the other ways of registering global custom parsers are dropped in favour of the one mentioned above.
Closes#11481
In #10918, we introduced the prompt placeholders. These were had a different format

Some of our meta fields (such as _id, _version, ...) are returned as top-level
properties of the json document, while other properties (_timestamp, _routing,
...) are returned under `fields`. This commit makes all meta fields returned
as top-level properties.
So eg. `GET test/test/1?fields=_timestamp,foo` would now return
```json
{
"_index": "test",
"_type": "test",
"_id": "1",
"_version": 1,
"_timestamp": 10000000,
"found": true,
"fields": {
"foo": [ "bar" ]
}
}
```
while it used to return
```json
{
"_index": "test",
"_type": "test",
"_id": "1",
"_version": 1,
"found": true,
"fields": {
"_timestamp": 10000000,
"foo": [ "bar" ]
}
}
```
To better distribute the memory allocating to indexing, the IndexingMemoryController periodically checks the different shard for their last indexing activity. If no activity has happened for a while, the controller marks the shards as in active and allocated it's memory buffer budget (but a small minimal budget) to other active shards. The recently added synced flush feature (#11179, #11336) uses this inactivity trigger to attempt as a trigger to attempt adding a sync id marker (which will speed up future recoveries).
We wait for 30m before declaring a shard inactive. However, these days the operation just requires a refresh and is light. We can be stricter (and 5m) increase the chance a synced flush will be triggered.
Closes#11479
This commit changes the date handling. First and foremost Elasticsearch
does not try to convert every date to a unix timestamp first and then
uses the configured date. This now allows for dates like `2015121212` to
be parsed correctly.
Instead it is now explicit by adding a `epoch_second` and `epoch_millis`
date format. This also means, that the default date format now is
`epoch_millis||dateOptionalTime` to remain backwards compatible.
Closes#5328

Some settings may be considered sensitive, such as passwords, and storing them
in the configuration file on disk is not good from a security perspective. This change
allows settings to have a special value, `${prompt::text}` or `${prompt::secret}`, to
indicate that elasticsearch should prompt the user for the actual value on startup.
This only works when started in the foreground. In cases where elasticsearch is started
as a service or in the background, an exception will be thrown.
Closes#10838
* Cut the `has_child` and `has_parent` queries over to use Lucene's query time global ordinal join. The main benefit of this change is that parent/child queries can now efficiently execute if parent/child queries are wrapped in a bigger boolean query. If the rest of the query only hit a few documents both has_child and has_parent queries don't need to evaluate all parent or child documents any more.
* Cut the `_parent` field over to use doc values. This significantly reduces the on heap memory footprint of parent/child, because the parent id values are never loaded into memory.
Breaking changes:
* The `type` option on the `_parent` field can only point to a parent type that doesn't exist yet, so this means that an existing type/mapping can't become a parent type any longer.
* The `has_child` and `has_parent` queries can no longer be use in alias filters.
All these changes, improvements and breaks in compatibility only apply for indices created with ES version 2.0 or higher. For indices creates with ES <= 2.0 the older implementation is used.
It is highly recommended to re-index all your indices with parent and child documents to benefit from all the improvements that come with this refactoring. The easiest way to achieve this is by using the scan and bulk apis using a simple script.
Closes#6107Closes#8134
This change unifies the way scripts and templates are specified for all instances in the codebase. It builds on the Script class added previously and adds request building and parsing support as well as the ability to transfer script objects between nodes. It also adds a Template class which aims to provide the same functionality for template APIs
Closes#11091
In #11072 we are adding a check that will prevent opening of old indices. However, this check doesn't take into consideration the fact that indices can be made compatible with the current version through upgrade API. In order to make compatibility check aware of the upgrade, the upgrade API should write a new setting `index.version.minimum_compatible` that will indicate the minimum compatible version of lucene this index is compatible with and `index.version.upgraded` that will indicate the version of elasticsearch that performed the upgrade.
Closes#11095
Updated to not mislead the reader that the data is actually gone when a document is updated. For example if you have 100GB of docs and update each one you'll only be able to access 100GB of the data, but there would theoretically be 200GB of doc data.
Closes#10375
The count api used to have its own execution path, although it would do the same (up to bugs!) of the search api. This commit makes it a shortcut to the search api with size set to 0. The change is made in a backwards compatible manner, by leaving all of the java api code around too, given that you may not want to get back a whole SearchResponse when asking only for number of hits matching a query, also cause migrating from countResponse.getCount() to searchResponse.getHits().totalHits() doesn't look great from a user perspective. We can always decide to drop more code around the count api if we want to break backwards compatibility on the java api, making it a shortcut on the rest layer only.

Add support for a specific deprecation logging that can be used to turn
on in order to notify users of a specific feature, flag, setting,
parameter, ... being deprecated.
The deprecation logger logs with a "deprecation." prefix logge
(or "org.elasticsearch.deprecation." if full name is used), and outputs
the logging to a dedicated deprecation log file.
Deprecation logging are logged under the DEBUG category. The idea is not to
enabled them by default (under WARN or ERROR) when running embedded in
another application.
By default they are turned off (INFO), in order to turn it on, the
"deprecation" category need to be set to DEBUG. This can be set in the
logging file or using the cluster update settings API, see the documentation
Closes#11033
This change adds a new "filter_path" parameter that can be used to filter and reduce the responses returned by the REST API of elasticsearch.
For example, returning only the shards that failed to be optimized:
```
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/beer/_optimize?filter_path=_shards.failed'
{"_shards":{"failed":0}}%
```
It supports multiple filters (separated by a comma):
```
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_mapping?pretty&filter_path=*.mappings.*.properties.name,*.mappings.*.properties.title'
```
It also supports the YAML response format. Here it returns only the `_id` field of a newly indexed document:
```
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/library/book?filter_path=_id' -d '---hello:\n world: 1\n'
---
_id: "AU0j64-b-stVfkvus5-A"
```
It also supports wildcards. Here it returns only the host name of every nodes in the cluster:
```
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/stats?filter_path=nodes.*.host*'
{"nodes":{"lvJHed8uQQu4brS-SXKsNA":{"host":"portable"}}}
```
And "**" can be used to include sub fields without knowing the exact path. Here it returns only the Lucene version of every segment:
```
curl 'http://localhost:9200/_segments?pretty&filter_path=indices.**.version'
{
"indices" : {
"beer" : {
"shards" : {
"0" : [ {
"segments" : {
"_0" : {
"version" : "5.2.0"
},
"_1" : {
"version" : "5.2.0"
}
}
} ]
}
}
}
}
```
Note that elasticsearch sometimes returns directly the raw value of a field, like the _source field. If you want to filter _source fields, you should consider combining the already existing _source parameter (see Get API for more details) with the filter_path parameter like this:
```
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_search?pretty&filter_path=hits.hits._source&_source=title'
{
"hits" : {
"hits" : [ {
"_source":{"title":"Book #2"}
}, {
"_source":{"title":"Book #1"}
}, {
"_source":{"title":"Book #3"}
} ]
}
}
```
#10032 introduced the notion of sealing an index by marking it with a special read only marker, allowing for a couple of optimization to happen. The most important one was to speed up recoveries of shards where we know nothing has changed since they were online by skipping the file based sync phase. During the implementation we came up with a light notion which achieves the same recovery benefits but without the read only aspects which we dubbed synced flush. The fact that it was light weight and didn't put the index in read only mode, allowed us to do it automatically in the background which has great advantage. However we also felt the need to allow users to manually trigger this operation.
The implementation at #11179 added the sync flush internal logic and the manual (rest) rest API. The name of the API was modeled after the sealing terminology which may end up being confusing. This commit changes the API name to match the internal synced flush naming, namely `{index}/_flush/synced'.
On top of that it contains a couple other changes:
- Remove all java client API. This feature is not supposed to be called programtically by applications but rather by admins.
- Improve rest responses making structure similar to other (flush) API
- Change IndexShard#getOperationsCount to exclude the internal +1 on open shard . it's confusing to get 1 while there are actually no ongoing operations
- Some minor other clean ups
This option is broken currently since it potentially interprets an incoming
binary value as compressed while it just happens that the first bytes are the
same as the LZF header.
Mappings conflicts should not be ignored. If I read the history correctly, this
option was added when a mapping update to an existing field was considered a
conflict, even if the new mapping was exactly the same. Now that mapping updates
are smart enough to detect conflicting options, we don't need an option to
ignore conflicts.
The default `false` for `require_field_match` is a bit odd and confusing for users, given that field names get ignored by default and every field gets highlighted if it contains terms extracted out of the query, regardless of which fields were queries. Changed the default to `true`, it can always be changed per request.
Closes#10627Closes#11067
Our own fork of the lucene PostingsHighlighter is not easy to maintain and doesn't give us any added value at this point. In particular, it was introduced to support the require_field_match option and discrete per value highlighting, used in case one wants to highlight the whole content of a field, but get back one snippet per value. These two features won't
make it into lucene as they slow things down and shouldn't have been supported from day one on our end probably.
One other customization we had was support for a wider range of queries via custom rewrite etc. (yet another way to slow
things down), which got added to lucene and works much much better than what we used to do (instead of or rewrite, term
s are pulled out of the automata for multi term queries).
Removing our fork means the following in terms of features:
- dropped support for require_field_match: the postings highlighter will only highlight fields that were queried
- some custom es queries won't be supported anymore, meaning they won't be highlighted. The only one I found up until now is the phrase_prefix. Postings highlighter rewrites against an empty reader to avoid slow operations (like the ones that we were performing with the fork that we are removing here), thus the prefix will not be expanded to any term. What the postings highlighter does instead is pulling the automata out of multi term queries, but this is not supported at the moment with our MultiPhrasePrefixQuery.
Closes#10625Closes#11077
Most aggregations (terms, histogram, stats, percentiles, geohash-grid) now
support a new `missing` option which defines the value to consider when a
field does not have a value. This can be handy if you eg. want a terms
aggregation to handle the same way documents that have "N/A" or no value
for a `tag` field.
This works in a very similar way to the `missing` option on the `sort`
element.
One known issue is that this option sometimes cannot make the right decision
in the unmapped case: it needs to replace all values with the `missing` value
but might not know what kind of values source should be produced (numerics,
strings, geo points?). For this reason, we might want to add an `unmapped_type`
option in the future like we did for sorting.

Previously, collate feature would be executed on all shards of an index using the client,
this leads to a deadlock when concurrent collate requests are run from the _search API,
due to the fact that both the external request and internal collate requests use the
same search threadpool.
As phrase suggestions are generated from the terms of the local shard, in most cases the
generated suggestion, which does not yield a hit for the collate query on the local shard
would not yield a hit for collate query on non-local shards.
Instead of using the client for collating suggestions, collate query is executed against
the ContextIndexSearcher. This PR removes the ability to specify a preference for a collate
query, as the collate query is only run on the local shard.

A few meta fields can currently be set within a document's source.
However, the recommended way to set meta fields like this is through
the api, and setting within the document can be a performance trap
(e.g. needing to find _id in order to route the document).
This change removes the ability to set meta fields within
a document source for 2.0+ indexes.
