The documentation contained a small error, as bytes and duration was not
properly converted to a number and thus remained a string.
The documentation is now also properly tested by providing a full blown
simulate pipeline example.
* Recommend Metricbeat for 7.x
* Fix typo in link to configuring-metricbeat
* [DOCS] Fixes build error and some terminology
* Add to local exporter page per review feedback
* Creates a prerequisites section in the cross-cluster replication (CCR)
overview.
* Adds concise definitions for local and remote cluster in a CCR context.
* Documents that the ES version of the local cluster must be the same
or a newer compatible version as the remote cluster.
The "Restore any snapshots as required" step is a trap: it's somewhere between
tricky and impossible to restore multiple clusters into a single one.
Also add a note about configuring discovery during a rolling upgrade to
proscribe any rare cases where you might accidentally autobootstrap during the
upgrade.
When the enrich processor appends enrich data to an incoming document,
it adds a `target_field` to contain the enrich data.
This `target_field` contains both the `match_field` AND `enrich_fields`
specified in the enrich policy.
Previously, this was reflected in the documented example but not
explicitly stated. This adds several explicit statements to the docs.
Reindex sort never gave a guarantee about the order of documents being
indexed into the destination, though it could give a sense of locality
of source data.
It prevents us from doing resilient reindex and other optimizations and
it has therefore been deprecated.
Related to #47567
This rewrites long sort as a `DistanceFeatureQuery`, which can
efficiently skip non-competitive blocks and segments of documents.
Depending on the dataset, the speedups can be 2 - 10 times.
The optimization can be disabled with setting the system property
`es.search.rewrite_sort` to `false`.
Optimization is skipped when an index has 50% or more data with
the same value.
Optimization is done through:
1. Rewriting sort as `DistanceFeatureQuery` which can
efficiently skip non-competitive blocks and segments of documents.
2. Sorting segments according to the primary numeric sort field(#44021)
This allows to skip non-competitive segments.
3. Using collector manager.
When we optimize sort, we sort segments by their min/max value.
As a collector expects to have segments in order,
we can not use a single collector for sorted segments.
We use collectorManager, where for every segment a dedicated collector
will be created.
4. Using Lucene's shared TopFieldCollector manager
This collector manager is able to exchange minimum competitive
score between collectors, which allows us to efficiently skip
the whole segments that don't contain competitive scores.
5. When index is force merged to a single segment, #48533 interleaving
old and new segments allows for this optimization as well,
as blocks with non-competitive docs can be skipped.

This adds a `_source` setting under the `source` setting of a data
frame analytics config. The new `_source` is reusing the structure
of a `FetchSourceContext` like `analyzed_fields` does. Specifying
includes and excludes for source allows selecting which fields
will get reindexed and will be available in the destination index.

Backport of #49690
- Improves HTTP client hostname verification failure messages
- Adds "DiagnosticTrustManager" which logs certificate information
when trust cannot be established (hostname failure, CA path failure,
etc)
These diagnostic messages are designed so that many common TLS
problems can be diagnosed based solely (or primarily) on the
elasticsearch logs.
These diagnostics can be disabled by setting
xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust: false

Add a couple of pointers for the user to check the
overall cluster health and the version of ES running
on every node.
Fixes: #49670
(cherry picked from commit 8ca11f54cd839f41632c556601e94da67e91a3d1)
This change adds a dynamic cluster setting named `indices.id_field_data.enabled`.
When set to `false` any attempt to load the fielddata for the `_id` field will fail
with an exception. The default value in this change is set to `false` in order to prevent
fielddata usage on this field for future versions but it will be set to `true` when backporting
to 7x. When the setting is set to true (manually or by default in 7x) the loading will also issue
a deprecation warning since we want to disallow fielddata entirely when https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/26472
is implemented.
Closes#43599
This commit clarifies how to override JAVA_HOME from the bundled jdk for

In case an exception occurs inside a pipeline processor,
the pipeline stack is kept around as header in the exception.
Then in the on_failure processor the id of the pipeline the
exception occurred is made accessible via the `on_failure_pipeline`
ingest metadata.

Add TRUNC as alias to already implemented TRUNCATE
numeric function which is the flavour supported by
Oracle and PostgreSQL.

The default is set to Integer.MAX_VALUE but is reported to be `0` in the docs.
With the current implementation a value of 0 would mean all terms are filtered
out, which is the opposite of "unbounded".
Closes#49520
The breaking changes cover the removal of TLSv1 from the default
protocols, but assume that users who need to retain TLSv1 support will
understand all the places where they may used it.
This has proven not to be true, as it is easy to be unaware that (for
example) an LDAP server is using TLSv1.
This change explicitly lists all the places where TLS protocols may
need to be configured.

The categorization job wizard in the ML UI will use this
information when showing the effect of the chosen categorization
analyzer on a sample of input.
This commit replaces the _estimate_memory_usage API with
a new API, the _explain API.
The API consolidates information that is useful before
creating a data frame analytics job.
It includes:
- memory estimation
- field selection explanation
Memory estimation is moved here from what was previously
calculated in the _estimate_memory_usage API.
Field selection is a new feature that explains to the user
whether each available field was selected to be included or
not in the analysis. In the case it was not included, it also
explains the reason why.
Backport of #49455
This commit enhances the required pipeline functionality by changing it
so that default/request pipelines can also be executed, but the required
pipeline is always executed last. This gives users the flexibility to
execute their own indexing pipelines, but also ensure that any required
pipelines are also executed. Since such pipelines are executed last, we
change the name of required pipelines to final pipelines.
Reformats the edge n-gram and n-gram token filter docs. Changes include:
* Adds title abbreviations
* Updates the descriptions and adds Lucene links
* Reformats parameter definitions
* Adds analyze and custom analyzer snippets
* Adds notes explaining differences between the edge n-gram and n-gram
filters
Additional changes:
* Switches titles to use "n-gram" throughout.
* Fixes a typo in the edge n-gram tokenizer docs
* Adds an explicit anchor for the `index.max_ngram_diff` setting
All document scores are positive 32-bit floating point numbers. However, this
wasn't previously documented.
This can result in surprising behavior, such as precision loss, for users when
customizing scores using the function score query.
This commit updates an existing admonition in the function score query docs to
document the 32-bits precision limit. It also updates the search API reference
docs to note that `_score` is a 32-bit float.
Currently the `token_chars` setting in both `edgeNGram` and `ngram` tokenizers
only allows for a list of predefined character classes, which might not fit
every use case. For example, including underscore "_" in a token would currently
require the `punctuation` class which comes with a lot of other characters.
This change adds an additional "custom" option to the `token_chars` setting,
which requires an additional `custom_token_chars` setting to be present and
which will be interpreted as a set of characters to inlcude into a token.
Closes#25894
Previously, DATEDIFF for minutes and hours was doing a
rounding calculation using all the time fields (secs, msecs/micros/nanos).
Instead it should first truncate the 2 dates to the respective field (mins or hours)
zeroing out all the more detailed time fields and then make the subtraction.

This PR adds a new metric aggregation called string_stats that operates on string terms of a document and returns the following:
min_length: The length of the shortest term
max_length: The length of the longest term
avg_length: The average length of all terms
distribution: The probability distribution of all characters appearing in all terms
entropy: The total Shannon entropy value calculated for all terms
This aggregation has been implemented as an analytics plugin.
Makes a few changes to better align the update license API docs with
the [API reference template][0].
Changes:
* Replaces POST with PUT in several snippet examples.
While both are valid, PUT is a bit more RESTful.
* Removes leading slashes (/) from all snippets.
* Relocates and retitles the 'Authorization' section to 'Prerequisites'.
* Replaces explicit titles with the appropriate API reference template
attributes.
* Replaces unneeded `[float]` tags with explicit anchors.
Closes#35341

The `edge_ngram` tokenizer limits tokens to the `max_gram` character
length. Autocomplete searches for terms longer than this limit return
no results.
To prevent this, you can use the `truncate` token filter to truncate
tokens to the `max_gram` character length. However, this could return irrelevant results.
This commit adds some advisory text to make users aware of this limitation and outline the tradeoffs for each approach.
Closes#48956.
This PR makes the following two fixes around updating flattened fields:
* Make sure that the new value for ignore_above is immediately taken into
affect. Previously we recorded the new value but did not use it when parsing
documents.
* Allow depth_limit to be updated dynamically. It seems plausible that a user
might want to tweak this setting as they encounter more data.
