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"}
} ]
}
}
```
This commit makes queries and filters parsed the same way using the
QueryParser abstraction. This allowed to remove duplicate code that we had
for similar queries/filters such as `range`, `prefix` or `term`.
I'm not sure if the `distance-units` section is totally clear, when using the 'Geohash Cell Filter' and omitting a unit, the default is to interpret the integer as the 'length of the geohash prefix', not to default it to 'meter'. Maybe I'm being pedantic.
Closes#8744
This change means that the default settings for expand_wildcards are only applied if the expand_wildcards parameter is not specified rather than being set upfront. It also adds the none and all options to the parameter to allow the user to specify no expansion and expansion to all indexes (equivalent to 'open,closed')
Closes#7258
Added the http.jsonp.enable option to configure disabling of JSONP responses, as those
might pose a security risk, and can be disabled if unused.
This also fixes bugs in NettyHttpChannel
* JSONP responses were never setting application/javascript as the content-type
* The content-type and content-length headers were being overwritten even if they were set before
Closes#6164
============
The default unit for measuring distances is *MILES* in most cases. This commit moves ES
over to the *International System of Units* and make it work on a default which relates
to *METERS* . Also the current structures of the `GeoBoundingBox Filter` changed in
order to define the *Bounding* by setting abitrary corners.
Distances
---------
Since the default unit for measuring distances has changed to a default unit
`DistanceUnit.DEFAULT` relating to *meters*, the **REST API** has changed at the
following places:
* `ScriptDocValues.factorDistance()` returns *meters* instead of *miles*
* `ScriptDocValues.factorDistanceWithDefault()` returns *meters* instead of *miles*
* `ScriptDocValues.arcDistance()` returns *meters* instead of *miles*
one might use `ScriptDocValues.arcDistanceInMiles()`
* `ScriptDocValues.arcDistanceWithDefault()` returns *meters* instead of *miles*
* `ScriptDocValues.distance()` returns *meters* instead of *miles*
one might use `ScriptDocValues.distanceInMiles()`
* `ScriptDocValues.distanceWithDefault()` returns *meters* instead of *miles*
one might use `ScriptDocValues.distanceInMilesWithDefault()`
* `GeoDistanceFilter` default unit changes from *kilometers* to *meters*
* `GeoDistanceRangeFilter` default unit changes from *miles* to *meters*
* `GeoDistanceFacet` default unit changes from *miles* to *meters*
Geo Bounding Box Filter
-----------------------
The naming of the GeoBoundingBoxFilter properties allows to set arbitrary corners
(see #4084) namely `top_right`, `top_left`, `bottom_right` and `bottom_left`. This
change also includes the fields `topRight` and `bottomLeft` Also it is be possible to
set the single values by using just `top`, `bottom`, `left` and `right` parameters.
Closes#4515, #4084
A lot of different API's currently use different names for the
same logical parameter. Since lucene moved away from the notion
of a `similarity` and now uses an `fuzziness` we should generalize
this and encapsulate the generation, parsing and creation of these
settings across all queries.
This commit adds a new `Fuzziness` class that handles the renaming
and generalization in a backwards compatible manner.
This commit also added a ParseField class to better support deprecated
Query DSL parameters
The ParseField class allows specifying parameger that have been deprecated.
Those parameters can be more easily tracked and removed in future version.
This also allows to run queries in `strict` mode per index to throw
exceptions if a query is executed with deprected keys.
Closes#4082
* `ignore_unavailable` - Controls whether to ignore if any specified indices are unavailable, this includes indices that don't exist or closed indices. Either `true` or `false` can be specified.
* `allow_no_indices` - Controls whether to fail if a wildcard indices expressions results into no concrete indices. Either `true` or `false` can be specified. For example if the wildcard expression `foo*` is specified and no indices are available that start with `foo` then depending on this setting the request will fail. This setting is also applicable when `_all`, `*` or no index has been specified.
* `expand_wildcards` - Controls to what kind of concrete indices wildcard indices expression expand to. If `open` is specified then the wildcard expression if expanded to only open indices and if `closed` is specified then the wildcard expression if expanded only to closed indices. Also both values (`open,closed`) can be specified to expand to all indices.
