This PR adds a new setting called `index.lifecycle.date` that
the ShrinkAction will be responsible for populating in the newly created index.
This way, we can continue to know when we should be executing the next phase
relative to the original index creation date, and not that of the shrunken index.
A node can stop being the master node whilst it is running, e.g. if it can’t access `minimumMasterNodes` number of master eligible nodes. Because of this we need logic in `IndexLifecycleService` that cancels the scheduled job if the node is no longer master and re-adds the job if the node becomes master again.
This does the following in sequential service polls
1. sets the index to read-only and runs shrink with a modified `index.lifecycle.name` setting set to `null`.
2. checks to see if shrink is complete, if it is...
b. set target index's `index.lifecycle.*` settings to the original index's values.
3. if not complete, just wait till next iteration
4. if operating on shrunken index, delete old index and add it as an alias to shrunken index
* Adds Allocate lifcycle action
* Addresses review comments
Still need to make a change in core for the FilterAllocationDecider to make the execute logic simpler
* Addresses more review comments
* Adds randomMap method to AllocateActionTests
* Addresses further review comments
* Improves handling of exceptions in Index Lifecycle
This change improves a few different aspects:
* If an exception occurs executing the lifecycle of one index it is caught, logged and other indexes are still processed
* If the lifecycle policy specified in the settings does not exist an error is logged
* Fixes the exception when the delete action is run which occurs because Phase attempts to update the phase and action settings for the deleted index. A `LifecycleAction.indexSurvives()` method is introduced which defaults to `true` but can be overridden to indicate whether the index survives following completion of the action.
* Adds test
* Fix InternalIndexLifecycleContext to update state in memory
The internal and the mock index-lifecycle-context implementations differed
in that the InternalIndexLifecycleContext assumed no one would be using it after
it mutated state. This is not the case. We assume that the current context is updated after
a `#setAction` is called so that the listener can then appropriately use the newly modified
cluster state. since idxMeta was not being updated, any call to `context.getAction` was stale and
either returning null or the previous action, not the next action that was updated by `#setAction`.
Same goes for `setPhase`.
This PR should fix this so that the Mock and Internal implementations are more in line.
`IndexLifecycleInitialisationIT.testMasterFailover()` intermittently failed because the timeout of 10 seconds to check if the index had been deleted was not long enough sometimes with the poll interval set to 3 seconds. This change sets the poll interval to 1 seconds for the test so that the lifecycle is more responsive. This also means the default value for the poll interval can be safely changed without affecting the test.
This change moves the Action classes and referenced data model classes to the new :x-pack-elasticsearch:plugin:core project in preparation for splitting the x-pack features into their own gradle modules.
Note that the TransportAction classes had to be promoted to their own class file (rather than being inner classes to their Action) so they can remain in the plugin project (and will late be move to the `index-lifecycle` project when its created.
To clean up the parsing of the LifecyclePolicy this change moves the LifecycleType to its own class so it can be created in the normal parsing of LifecyclePolicy rather than having to parse to an intermediary object first. The LifecycleType is an interface which can be implemented for different lifecycle types. These types shiould be singletons and are register with the NamedXContentRegistry and NamedWriteableRegistry only so they are available when reading from a stream or parsing.
Removes the poll-interval from the IndexLifecycleMetadata and introduces it in
the form of a cluster setting that is configurable. Changes to this poll interval setting
will reflect in the Lifecycle Scheduler.
This includes changing NOCOMMIT comments to be NORELEASE comments so the build passes with them. We have tasks inGH for all these NORELEASE comments so they should be caught before merging to master
This action will rollover an index when executed if the provided conditions are met.
Users may specify the maximum age, maximum index size in bytes or maximum index size in number of documents as conditions for rollover.
When the action executes it firsts checks the local cluster state to find out if the alias exists on the index. If the alias does not exist then the index was either rolled over by a previous run or something else has rolled over the index so the action can be marked as completed. If the index still has the alias set the action will make a rollover index request using the Client. When that request returns and the listener is called the action will only be marked as complete if the response indicates the index was rolled over. If the index was not rolled over (because the conditions are not yet met) the action is not marked as complete and will be re-evaluated on the next call to execute.
This means that the result of the action can now be async and we can then implement moving immediately to the next action if the current one is complete
The client and index metadata have now been abstracted away from the Lifecycle classes behind IndexLifecycleContext. This allow us to test the state machine without having to worry about how the state is persisted and read. It also makes the classes much easier to read and reason about.
