The date_histogram accepts an interval which can be either a calendar
interval (DST-aware, leap seconds, arbitrary length of months, etc) or
fixed interval (strict multiples of SI units). Unfortunately this is inferred
by first trying to parse as a calendar interval, then falling back to fixed
if that fails.
This leads to confusing arrangement where `1d` == calendar, but
`2d` == fixed. And if you want a day of fixed time, you have to
specify `24h` (e.g. the next smallest unit). This arrangement is very
error-prone for users.
This PR adds `calendar_interval` and `fixed_interval` parameters to any
code that uses intervals (date_histogram, rollup, composite, datafeed, etc).
Calendar only accepts calendar intervals, fixed accepts any combination of
units (meaning `1d` can be used to specify `24h` in fixed time), and both
are mutually exclusive.
The old interval behavior is deprecated and will throw a deprecation warning.
It is also mutually exclusive with the two new parameters. In the future the
old dual-purpose interval will be removed.
The change applies to both REST and java clients.
Redeprecates the `/_xpack/rollup` endpoints in favor of `/_rollup`.
When we cleanup the rollup in a cluster containing 6.x nodes we need to
use `/_xpack/rollup` instead of `/_rollup` because the 6.x nodes don't
know about `/_rollup`. In those cases we must ignore the deprecation
warnings that the 7.0 node will return for the end point.
