In order to have access to all codecs and handlers by netty, they
need to be exposed during shading, otherwise only the classes, which
are used by the built are exposed.
`-Dtests.filter` allows to pass filter expressions to the elasticsearch
tests. This allows to filter test annotaged with TestGroup annotations
like @Slow, @Nightly, @Backwards, @Integration with a boolean expresssion like:
* to run only backwards tests run:
`mvn -Dtests.bwc.version=X.Y.Z -Dtests.filter="@backwards"`
* to run all integration tests but skip slow tests run:
`mvn -Dtests.filter="@integration and not @slow"
* to take defaults into account ie run all test as well as backwards:
`mvn -Dtests.filter="default and @backwards"
This feature is a more powerful alternative to flags like
`-Dtests.nighly=true|false` etc.

Some IO api can return after writing & reading only a part of the requested data. On these rare occasions, we should call the methods again to read/write the rest of the data. This has cause rare translog corruption while writing huge documents on Windows.
Noteful parts of the commit:
- A new Channels class with utility methods for reading and writing to channels
- Writing or reading to channels is added to the forbidden API list
- Added locking to SimpleFsTranslogFile
- Removed FileChannelInputStream which was not used

Sandboxes the groovy scripting language with multiple configurable
whitelists:
`script.groovy.sandbox.receiver_whitelist`: comma-separated list of string
classes for objects that may have methods invoked.
`script.groovy.sandbox.package_whitelist`: comma-separated list of
packages under which new objects may be constructed.
`script.groovy.sandbox.class_whitelist` comma-separated list of classes
that are allowed to be constructed.
As well as a method blacklist:
`script.groovy.sandbox.method_blacklist`: comma-separated list of
methods that are never allowed to be invoked, regardless of target
object.
The sandbox can be entirely disabled by setting:
`script.groovy.sandbox.enabled: false`
This commit add a basic infrastructure as well as primitive tests
to ensure version backwards compatibility between the current
development trunk and an arbitrary previous version. The compatibility
tests are simple unit tests derived from a base class that starts
and manages nodes from a provided elasticsearch release package.
Use the following commandline executes all backwards compatiblity tests
in isolation:
```
mvn test -Dtests.bwc=true -Dtests.bwc.version=1.2.1 -Dtests.class=org.elasticsearch.bwcompat.*
```
These tests run basic checks like rolling upgrades and
routing/searching/get etc. against the specified version. The version
must be present in the `./backwards` folder as
`./backwards/elasticsearch-x.y.z`
This commit adds checks for nocommit and tabs in the source code.
The task is executed during the validate phase and can be disabled via
`-Dvalidate.skip`
E.g. we use Unsafe in quite a few places and this generates lots of
warnings, which we now suppress using the undocumented
-XDignore.symbol.file command-line option to javac.
Closes#6423
Routing has been inadvertly changed in #5562 resulting in documents going to
different shards in 1.2. This is a terrible bug because an indexing request
would not necessarily go to the same shard anymore, potentially leading to
duplicates.

This commit upgrades to the latest Lucene 4.8.1 release including the
following bugfixes:
* An IndexThrottle now kicks in when merges start falling behind
limiting index threads to 1 until merges caught up. Closes#6066
* RateLimiter now kicks in at the configured rate where previously
the limiter was limiting at ~8MB/sec almost all the time. Closes#6018
* If plugin does not provide `lucene` property, we consider that the plugin is compatible.
* If plugin provides `lucene` property, we try to load related Enum org.apache.lucene.util.Version. If this fails, it means that the node is too "old" comparing to the Lucene version the plugin was built for.
* We compare then two first digits of current node lucene version against two first digits of plugin Lucene version. If not equal, it means that the plugin is too "old" for the current node.
Plugin developers who wants to launch plugin check only have to add a `lucene` property in `es-plugin.properties` file. If you are using maven to build your plugin, you can do it like this:
In `pom.xml`:
```xml
<properties>
<lucene.version>4.6.0</lucene.version>
</properties>
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
```
In `es-plugin.properties`, add:
```properties
lucene=${lucene.version}
```
BTW, if you don't already have it, you can add the plugin version as well:
```properties
version=${project.version}
```
You can disable that check using `plugins.check_lucene: false`.
We configure the threadpools according to the number of processors which is
different on every machine. Yet, we had some test failures related to this
and #6174 that only happened reproducibly on a node with 1 available processor.
This commit does:
* sometimes randomize the number of available processors
* if we don't randomize we should set the actual number of available processors
in the settings on the test node
* always print out the num of processors when a test fails to make sure we can
reproduce the thread pool settings with the reproduce info line
Closes#6176
Our improvements to t-digest have been pushed upstream and t-digest also got
some additional nice improvements around memory usage and speedups of quantile
estimation. So it makes sense to use it as a dependency now.
This also allows to remove the test dependency on Apache Mahout.
Close#6142
Updating to this version allows to configure a special JNA directory,
in case the /tmp directory is mounted with the noexec option, as JNA
extracts some data and tries to execute parts of it.
Also updated documentation to clarify mlockall and memory settings as well
as pointing to the new jna.tmpdir system property.
Closes#5493
Needed for REST backwards compatibility tests, since we need to run older tests with the latest runner, which randomizes shards and replicas, but the tests rely on defaults (5,1).
Done in a generic way based on compatibility versions e.g. `-Dtests.compatibility=1.0.0` allows to run tests in a special manner that is compatibile with 1.0.0 version.
Also moved back randomIndexTemplate to ElasticsearchIntegrationTest (from ImmutableCluster) where all the randomized aspects should be.
Closes#5897
The blacklist can be provided through -Dtests.rest.blacklist and supports a comma separated list of globs
e.g. -Dtests.rest.blacklist=get/10_basic/*,index/*/*
Also added some missing docs and made it clearer that the suite/test descriptions effectively contains their (relative) path (api/yaml_file/test section)
Closes#5881
This prevents executing bulks internal autocreate indices logic
and ensures that this internal request never creates an index
automaticall.
This fixes a bug where the TTL purger thread ran after the actual
index it was purging was already closed / deleted and that re-created
that index.
Closes#5766
ElasticsearchRestTests extends now ElasticsearchIntegrationTest and makes use of our ordinary test infrastructure, in particular all randomized aspects now come for free instead of having to maintain a separate (custom) tests runner
We previously parsed only the tests that needed to be run given the version of the cluster the tests are running against. This doesn't happen anymore as it didn't buy much and it would be harder to support as the tests get now parsed before the test cluster gets started. Thus all the tests are now parsed regardless of their skip sections, afterwards the ones that don't need to be run will be skipped through assume directives.
Fixed REST tests that rely on a specific number of shards as this change introduces also random number of shards and replicas (through randomIndexTemplate)
Closes#5654
* Removed XTermsFilter fixed in LUCENE-5502
* Switched back to automaton queries that caused failures due to LUCENE-5532
* Fixed Highlight test that has different results due to LUCENE-5538
All the ordinary test operations happen based on the ImmutableTestCluster base class and are executed via transport client. Will be used especially for the REST tests once migrated to the standard randomized runner.
Added new httpAddresses method to ImmutableTestCluster to be able to retrieve the http addresses to connect to for the REST tests. Both versions will look inside the cluster to figure out which nodes are available for http calls and their addresses.
The external cluster is used as global cluster if the tests.cluster system property is available. The property needs to contain a comma separated list of available elasticsearch nodes that will be used to connect to the cluster (e.g. localhost:9300,localhost:9301).
Only a subset of the integration tests can currently be run successfully against the external cluster, for more precision the ones that don't modify the cluster layout (don't require cluster() functionalities but rely only on immutableCluster()). Also at least two data nodes are required otherwise the ensureGreen calls cannot succeed.
Closes#5630
We have had a couple of bugs because of the use of these methods without paying
attention that it might return a negative value when provided with MIN_VALUE.
There is one common and legitimate usage of this method in order to perform
a modulo operation which would always return a positive number. This use-case
has been extracted to MathUtils.mod.

As documented in systemd's manual pages tmpfiles.d(5) and systemd.unit(5),

When building elasticsearch, we now require to use java 1.7.
Maven will check that before compiling any class. If Java version is incorrect, you will get the following message:
```
[WARNING] Rule 0: org.apache.maven.plugins.enforcer.RequireJavaVersion failed with message:
Detected JDK Version: 1.6.0-65 is not in the allowed range [1.7,).
```
Closes#5428.
We have the default QueryWrapperFilter as well as our custom one while
our wrapper is explicitly marked as no_cache such that it will never
be included in a cache. This was not consistenly used and caused several
problems during tests where p/c related queries were used as filters
and ended up in the cache. This commit adds the QueryWrapperFilter
ctor to the forbidden APIs to enforce the query instance checks.
Note that the standard `atLeast` implementation has now Integer.MAX_VALUE as upper bound, thus it behaves differently from what we expect in our tests, as we never expect the upper bound to be that high.
Added our own `atLeast` to `AbstractRandomizedTest` so that it has the expected behaviour with a reasonable upper bound.
See https://github.com/carrotsearch/randomizedtesting/issues/131
Lucene's RamUsageEstimator.sizeOf(Object) is to expensive.
Query size estimation will be enabled when a cheaper way of query size estimation can be found.
Closes#5372
Relates to #5339
Today, even though our merge policy doesn't return new merge specs on SEGMENT_FLUSH, merge on the scheduler is still called on flush time, and can cause merges to stall indexing during merges. Both for the concurrent merge scheduler (the default) and the serial merge scheduler. This behavior become worse when throttling kicks in (today at 20mb per sec).
In order to solve it (outside of Lucene for now), we wrap the merge scheduler with an EnableMergeScheduler, where, on the thread level, using a thread local, the call to merge can be enabled/disabled.
A Merges helper class is added where all explicit merges operations should go through. If the scheduler is the enabled one, it will enable merges before calling the relevant explicit method call. In order to make sure Merges is the only class that calls the explicit merge calls, the IW variant of them is added to the forbidden APIs list.
closes#5319
Adds support for storing mustache based query templates that can later be filled
with query parameter values at execution time. Templates may be both quoted,
non-quoted and referencing templates stored in config/scripts/*.mustache by file
name.
See docs/reference/query-dsl/queries/template-query.asciidoc for templating
examples.
Implementation detail: mustache itself is being shaded as it depends directly on
guava - so having it marked optional but included in the final distribution
raises chances of version conflicts downstream.
Fixes#4879
This upgrade includes a fix for RAM estimation on IndexReader
that allows to expose the amount of used bytes per segment now
as a setting in Elasticsearch. (LUCENE-5373)
Additionally this bugfix release contained a small fix for highlighting
that was already ported to Elasticsearch when reported (LUCENE-5361)
Closes#4897
We currently run always with SecurityManager installed. To make sure we
work also without we should randomly swap it out ie. run without the
security manager.
We currently pull in the lucene-expression module that is referenced
by lucene-suggest. Yet, we don't make use of this dependency at all
and it pulls in a bunch of unshaded libs like `antlr` and `asm` which
are pretty common in other projects. We should exclude this
dependency since we don't use it at all and it causes problems
when Elasticsearch is used as a node client. (see #4858)
If we mark the dependency as provided it won't be included in the
distribution.

Refactor cache recycling so that it only caches large arrays (pages) that can
later be used to build more complex data-structures such as hash tables.
- QueueRecycler now takes a limit like other non-trivial recyclers.
- New PageCacheRecycler (inspired of CacheRecycler) has the ability to cache
byte[], int[], long[], double[] or Object[] arrays using a fixed amount of
memory (either globally or per-thread depending on the Recycler impl, eg.
queue is global while thread_local is per-thread).
- Paged arrays in o.e.common.util can now optionally take a PageCacheRecycler
to reuse existing pages.
- All aggregators' data-structures now use PageCacheRecycler:
- for all arrays (counts, mins, maxes, ...)
- LongHash can now take a PageCacheRecycler
- there is a new BytesRefHash (inspired from Lucene but quite different,
still; for instance it cheats on BytesRef comparisons by using Unsafe)
that also takes a PageCacheRecycler

Test can be run with `-Dtests.assertion.disabled=org.elasticsearch`
to run the tests without assertions to make sure assertions
don't hide any assignements etc. that introduce bugs in production.
We are mocking out some functionality to add assertions etc. or
randomize store types. We should randomly run with our defaults to make
sure we don't hide any potential problems.
The REST layer can now be tested through tests that are shared between all the elasticsearch official clients.
The tests are based on REST specification that can be found on the elasticsearch-rest-api-spec project and consist of YAML files that describe the operations to be executed and the obtained results that need to be tested.
REST tests can be executed through the ElasticsearchRestTests class, which relies on the rest-spec git submodule that contains the rest spec and tests pulled from the elasticsearch-rest-spec-api project. The rest-spec submodule gets automatically initialized and updated through maven (generate-test-resources phase).
The REST runner and the needed classes are distributed within the test artifact.
The following are the options supported by the REST tests runner:
- tests.rest[true|false|host:port]: determines whether the REST tests need to be run and if so whether to rely on an external cluster (providing host and port) or fire a test cluster (default)
- tests.rest.suite: comma separated paths of the test suites to be run (by default loaded from /rest-spec/test classpath). it is possible to run only a subset of the tests providing a sub-folder or even a single yaml file (the default /rest-spec/test prefix is optional when files are loaded from classpath) e.g. -Dtests.rest.suite=index,get,create/10_with_id
- tests.rest.spec: REST spec path (default /rest-spec/api from classpath)
- tests.iters: runs multiple iterations
- tests.seed: seed to base the random behaviours on
- tests.appendseed[true|false]: enables adding the seed to each test section's description (default false)
- tests.cluster_seed: seed used to create the test cluster (if enabled)

In order to be sure that memory mapped lucene directories are working

We have the situation that some tests fail since they don't handle
EsRejectedExecutionException which gets thrown when a node shuts
down. That is ok to ignore this exception and not fail.
We also suffer from OOMs that can't create native threads but don't
get threaddumps for those failures. This patch prints the thread
stacks once we catch a OOM which can' create native threads.
The maven-compiler-plugin upgrade from 2.3.2 to 3.1 (see #4279) could cause out of memory issue when building the project with Maven and JDK6 and default memory settings (no `MAVEN_OPTS`).
This issue does not appear with JDK7.

Currently when importing projects into eclipse you need to run 'mvn
eclipse:eclipse' on the command line to generate the poject files. This
means that when the pom changes you need to re-run the command on the
command line to reflect those changes in the project in eclipse. This
commit allows the developer to import the project as an existing maven
project (can be shared using git after import) and then allows the
application to be run inside eclipse using the .launch file in
/dev-tools enabling easy debugging of the application within eclipse
without requiring a maven build.
This commit adds javadocs and removed unused methods from central
classes like ElasticsearchIntegrationTest. It also changes visibility
of many methods and classes that are only needed inside the test infrastructure.
This commit causes all classes under 'org.elasticsearch.test.*'
to be included in a 'elasticsearch-${version}-test.jar' that can be
inclued by 3rd party projects or plugins via:

<artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
<version>${elasticsearch.version}</version>
<type>test-jar</type>
<scope>test</scope>

Currently tests only run with node clients but eventually we want to
run all tests with randomly choosen node / transport clients. To enable
this during development and on test servers as a transition phase this
commit adds the ability to allow a fraction of the clients used in
tests to be transport clients. By default this is still disabled.
To enable transport clients in tests pass '-Dtests.client.ratio=[0..1]'
where '1.0' will force transport clients and '0.0' completely disables
them. If an empty string is passed the ratio is chosen at random for
each test.
While testing an async system providing reproducible tests that
use randomized components is a hard task we should at least try to
reestablish the enviroment of a failing test as much as possible.
This commit allows to re-establish the shared 'TestCluster' by
resetting the cluster to a predefined shared state before each test.
Before this commit a tests that is executed in isolation was likely
using a entirely different node enviroment as the failing test since
the 'TestCluster' kept intermediate nodes started by other tests around.

The fact that Maven and Eclipse share the same build directories can trigger
race conditions when both are trying to build at the same time, eg. if you run
`mvn clean test` while Eclipse is up and running: Eclipse will notice that some
class files are missing and start compiling in parallel with Maven.
This commit adds support for failing fast when running a test
case with `-Dtests.iters=N` and uses some goodness from LuceneTestCase
in a new base `AbstractRandomizedTest`. This class checks among other
things if a tests doesn't call `super.setup` / `super.tearDown` when it
should do and checks if a large static resources are not cleaned up
after the tests ie. a running node.
For better integration with the Lucene Test Framework and the
availabilty of RandomizedRunner / Randommized Testing this commit
moves over from TestNG to JUnit.
This commit also moves relevant places over to RandomzedRunner for
reproduceability and removes copied classes from the Lucene Test
Framework.
The currently used maven shade plugin still keeps references to the
original classes in their constant pools around. This is never a problem
at runtime, but for dependency tools which try to use the constant pool
for determining dependencies will get confused (OSGI for example). This

In order to ensure that configuration files do not get overwritten when
upgrading an RPM, it is not sufficient to mark them as configuration. You
have to use the 'noreplace' parameter to make sure, they are never
overwritten. Added this parameter for the /etc/elasticsearch directory
as well as the /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch file.
In addition, the post remove script now only deletes the user in case of
a package removal (and does nothing on package upgrade).

This patch makes mvn eclipse:eclipse generate additional eclipse configuration
files so that Eclipse:
- uses Java 1.6 compliance level,
- truncates lines after 140 chars,
- uses 4 spaces for indentation,
- automatically adds a license header when creating a new class file,
- organizes imports the same way as Intellij Idea (which makes sense I guess
since most of the code bas has been written with Intellij, this will prevent
from having large diffs due to the fact that the order of imports has
changed).
This commit integrates the forbiddenAPI checks that checks

Note: This has been disabled by default and is therefore not included in a
standard build. The main reason for this is, that you need to have a RPM

# Suggest feature
The suggest feature suggests similar looking terms based on a provided text by using a suggester. At the moment there the only supported suggester is `fuzzy`. The suggest feature is available since version `0.21.0`.
# Fuzzy suggester
The `fuzzy` suggester suggests terms based on edit distance. The provided suggest text is analyzed before terms are suggested. The suggested terms are provided per analyzed suggest text token. The `fuzzy` suggester doesn't take the query into account that is part of request.
# Suggest API
The suggest request part is defined along side the query part as top field in the json request.
```
curl -s -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_search' -d '{
"query" : {
...
},
"suggest" : {
...
}
}'
```
Several suggestions can be specified per request. Each suggestion is identified with an arbitary name. In the example below two suggestions are requested. The `my-suggest-1` suggestion uses the `body` field and `my-suggest-2` uses the `title` field. The `type` field is a required field and defines what suggester to use for a suggestion.
```
"suggest" : {
"suggestions" : {
"my-suggest-1" : {
"type" : "fuzzy",
"field" : "body",
"text" : "the amsterdma meetpu"
},
"my-suggest-2" : {
"type" : "fuzzy",
"field" : "title",
"text" : "the rottredam meetpu"
}
}
}
```
The below suggest response example includes the suggestions part for `my-suggest-1` and `my-suggest-2`. Each suggestion part contains a terms array, that contains all terms outputted by the analyzed suggest text. Each term object includes the term itself, the original start and end offset in the suggest text and if found an arbitary number of suggestions.
```
{
...
"suggest": {
"my-suggest-1": {
"terms" : [
{
"term" : "amsterdma",
"start_offset": 5,
"end_offset": 14,
"suggestions": [
...
]
}
...
]
},
"my-suggest-2" : {
"terms" : [
...
]
}
}
```
Each suggestions array contains a suggestion object that includes the suggested term, its document frequency and score compared to the suggest text term. The meaning of the score depends on the used suggester. The fuzzy suggester's score is based on the edit distance.
```
"suggestions": [
{
"term": "amsterdam",
"frequency": 77,
"score": 0.8888889
},
...
]
```
# Global suggest text
To avoid repitition of the suggest text, it is possible to define a global text. In the example below the suggest text is a global option and applies to the `my-suggest-1` and `my-suggest-2` suggestions.
```
"suggest" : {
"suggestions" : {
"text" : "the amsterdma meetpu",
"my-suggest-1" : {
"type" : "fuzzy",
"field" : "title"
},
"my-suggest-2" : {
"type" : "fuzzy",
"field" : "body"
}
}
}
```
The suggest text can be specied as global option or as suggestion specific option. The suggest text specified on suggestion level override the suggest text on the global level.
# Other suggest example.
In the below example we request suggestions for the following suggest text: `devloping distibutd saerch engies` on the `title` field with a maximum of 3 suggestions per term inside the suggest text. Note that in this example we use the `count` search type. This isn't required, but a nice optimalization. The suggestions are gather in the `query` phase and in the case that we only care about suggestions (so no hits) we don't need to execute the `fetch` phase.
```
curl -s -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_search?search_type=count' -d '{
"suggest" : {
"suggestions" : {
"my-title-suggestions" : {
"suggester" : "fuzzy",
"field" : "title",
"text" : "devloping distibutd saerch engies",
"size" : 3
}
}
}
}'
```
The above request could yield the response as stated in the code example below. As you can see if we take the first suggested term of each suggest text term we get `developing distributed search engines` as result.
```
{
...
"suggest": {
"my-title-suggestions": {

# Common suggest options:
* `suggester` - The suggester implementation type. The only supported value is 'fuzzy'. This is a required option.
* `text` - The suggest text. The suggest text is a required option that needs to be set globally or per suggestion.
# Common fuzzy suggest options
* `field` - The field to fetch the candidate suggestions from. This is an required option that either needs to be set globally or per suggestion.
* `analyzer` - The analyzer to analyse the suggest text with. Defaults to the search analyzer of the suggest field.
* `size` - The maximum corrections to be returned per suggest text token.
* `sort` - Defines how suggestions should be sorted per suggest text term. Two possible value:
** `score` - Sort by sore first, then document frequency and then the term itself.
** `frequency` - Sort by document frequency first, then simlarity score and then the term itself.
* `suggest_mode` - The suggest mode controls what suggestions are included or controls for what suggest text terms, suggestions should be suggested. Three possible values can be specified:
** `missing` - Only suggest terms in the suggest text that aren't in the index. This is the default.
** `popular` - Only suggest suggestions that occur in more docs then the original suggest text term.
** `always` - Suggest any matching suggestions based on terms in the suggest text.
# Other fuzzy suggest options:
* `lowercase_terms` - Lower cases the suggest text terms after text analyzation.
* `max_edits` - The maximum edit distance candidate suggestions can have in order to be considered as a suggestion. Can only be a value between 1 and 2. Any other value result in an bad request error being thrown. Defaults to 2.
* `min_prefix` - The number of minimal prefix characters that must match in order be a candidate suggestions. Defaults to 1. Increasing this number improves spellcheck performance. Usually misspellings don't occur in the beginning of terms.
* `min_query_length` - The minimum length a suggest text term must have in order to be included. Defaults to 4.
* `shard_size` - Sets the maximum number of suggestions to be retrieved from each individual shard. During the reduce phase only the top N suggestions are returned based on the `size` option. Defaults to the `size` option. Setting this to a value higher than the `size` can be useful in order to get a more accurate document frequency for spelling corrections at the cost of performance. Due to the fact that terms are partitioned amongst shards, the shard level document frequencies of spelling corrections may not be precise. Increasing this will make these document frequencies more precise.
* `max_inspections` - A factor that is used to multiply with the `shards_size` in order to inspect more candidate spell corrections on the shard level. Can improve accuracy at the cost of performance. Defaults to 5.
* `threshold_frequency` - The minimal threshold in number of documents a suggestion should appear in. This can be specified as an absolute number or as a relative percentage of number of documents. This can improve quality by only suggesting high frequency terms. Defaults to 0f and is not enabled. If a value higher than 1 is specified then the number cannot be fractional. The shard level document frequencies are used for this option.
* `max_query_frequency` - The maximum threshold in number of documents a sugges text token can exist in order to be included. Can be a relative percentage number (e.g 0.4) or an absolute number to represent document frequencies. If an value higher than 1 is specified then fractional can not be specified. Defaults to 0.01f. This can be used to exclude high frequency terms from being spellchecked. High frequency terms are usually spelled correctly on top of this this also improves the spellcheck performance. The shard level document frequencies are used for this option.
Closes#2585
* Removed CustmoMemoryIndex in favor of MemoryIndex which as of 4.1 supports adding the same field twice
* Replaced duplicated logic in X[*]FSDirectory for rate limiting with a RateLimitedFSDirectory wrapper
* Remove hacks to find out merge context in rate limiting in favor of IOContext
* replaced Scorer#freq() return type (from float to int)
* Upgraded FVHighlighter to new 'centered' highlighting
* Fixed RobinEngine to use seperate setCommitData
Embed the code now in our source, since jsr166e jar generation with 1.6 instead of 1.7 is complicated when doing it on its own as it relies on ThreadLocalRandom, and we have it in jsr166y
