RandomScoreFunction previously relied on the order the documents were
iterated in from Lucene. This caused changes in ordering, with the same
seed, if documents moved to different segments. With this change, a
murmur32 hash of the _uid for each document is used as the "random"
value. Also, the hash is adjusted so as to only return values between
0.0 and 1.0 to enable easier manipulation to fit into users' scoring
models.

Items with no specified field now defaults to all the possible fields from the
document source. Previously, we had required 'fields' to be specified either
as a top level parameter or for each item. The default behavior is now similar
to the MLT API.
Closes#7382
The term vector API can now generate term vectors on the fly, if the terms are
not already stored in the index. This commit exploits this new functionality
for the MLT query. Now the terms are directly retrieved using multi-
termvectors API, instead of generating them from the texts retrieved using the
multi-get API.
Closes#7014
AND and OR filter docs talk about different targets for the operators. I
believe that both should be described in terms of modifying other 'filters'.
I also added articles for easier (human) parsing. This fixes#4762Closes#7165
Filters and Queries now supports `time_zone` parameter which defines which time zone should be applied to the query or filter to convert it to UTC time based value.
When applied on `date` fields the `range` filter and queries accept also a `time_zone` parameter.
The `time_zone` parameter will be applied to your input lower and upper bounds and will move them to UTC time based date:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"constant_score": {
"filter": {
"range" : {
"born" : {
"gte": "2012-01-01",
"lte": "now",
"time_zone": "+1:00"
}
}
}
}
}
{
"range" : {
"born" : {
"gte": "2012-01-01",
"lte": "now",
"time_zone": "+1:00"
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
In the above examples, `gte` will be actually moved to `2011-12-31T23:00:00` UTC date.
NOTE: if you give a date with a timezone explicitly defined and use the `time_zone` parameter, `time_zone` will be
ignored. For example, setting `from` to `2012-01-01T00:00:00+01:00` with `"time_zone":"+10:00"` will still use `+01:00` time zone.
Closes#3729.
For the casual reader, the reference to "term queries" may be glossed over, yielding an unexpected result when using `regexp` queries.
This attempts to make that distinction more prominent.
Closes#6698
If the match query with cutoff_frequency encounters stacked tokens,
like synonyms in the same position, it returns a boolean query instead
of a common terms query. However, if the original operator was set
to "and", it was ignoring that and resetting the operator to "or".
In fact, if operator is "and" then there is little benefit in using
a common terms query as a must query is already
executed efficiently.
Added support for min_children and max_children parameters to
the has_child query and filter. A parent document will only
be considered if a match if the number of matching children
fall between the min/max bounds.
Closes#6019
The syntax to specify one or more items is the same as for the Multi GET API.
If only one document is specified, the results returned are the same as when
using the More Like This API.

In the Google Groups forum there appears to be some confusion as to what mlt
does. This documentation update should hopefully help demystifying this
feature, and provide some understanding as to how to use its parameters.
Closes#6092
A boost terms factor of 1.0 is not the same as no boosting of terms.
The desired behavior is to deactivate boosting by default. If the user
specifies any value other than 0, then boosting is activated.
Closes#6021
Decay functions currently only use the first value in a field that contains
multiple values to compute the distance to the origin. Instead, it should
consider all distances if more values are in the field and then use
one of min/max/sum/avg which is defined by the user.
