This commit introduces the forget follower API. This API is needed in cases that
unfollowing a following index fails to remove the shard history retention leases
on the leader index. This can happen explicitly through user action, or
implicitly through an index managed by ILM. When this occurs, history will be
retained longer than necessary. While the retention lease will eventually
expire, it can be expensive to allow history to persist for that long, and also
prevent ILM from performing actions like shrink on the leader index. As such, we
introduce an API to allow for manual removal of the shard history retention
leases in this case.
X-Pack security supports built-in authentication service
`token-service` that allows access tokens to be used to
access Elasticsearch without using Basic authentication.
The tokens are generated by `token-service` based on
OAuth2 spec. The access token is a short-lived token
(defaults to 20m) and refresh token with a lifetime of 24 hours,
making them unsuitable for long-lived or recurring tasks where
the system might go offline thereby failing refresh of tokens.
This commit introduces a built-in authentication service
`api-key-service` that adds support for long-lived tokens aka API
keys to access Elasticsearch. The `api-key-service` is consulted
after `token-service` in the authentication chain. By default,
if TLS is enabled then `api-key-service` is also enabled.
The service can be disabled using the configuration setting.
The API keys:-
- by default do not have an expiration but expiration can be
configured where the API keys need to be expired after a
certain amount of time.
- when generated will keep authentication information of the user that
generated them.
- can be defined with a role describing the privileges for accessing
Elasticsearch and will be limited by the role of the user that
generated them
- can be invalidated via invalidation API
- information can be retrieved via a get API
- that have been expired or invalidated will be retained for 1 week
before being deleted. The expired API keys remover task handles this.
Following are the API key management APIs:-
1. Create API Key - `PUT/POST /_security/api_key`
2. Get API key(s) - `GET /_security/api_key`
3. Invalidate API Key(s) `DELETE /_security/api_key`
The API keys can be used to access Elasticsearch using `Authorization`
header, where the auth scheme is `ApiKey` and the credentials, is the
base64 encoding of API key Id and API key separated by a colon.
Example:-
```
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey YXBpLWtleS1pZDphcGkta2V5" http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health
```
Closes#34383
This adds the _security/user/_privileges API to the High
Level Rest Client.
This also makes some changes to the Java model for the Role APIs
in order to better accommodate the GetPrivileges API
This commit adds support for the index templates exist API, creating
new client-side request types for that API and the get index
templates API. Also adds links in hlrc docs to pages for supported
index template APIs
this adds documentation for the retry method in the
high-level-ilm-rest-client.
this PR also renames retryLifecycleStep to retryLifecyclePolicy in the index-lifecycle-client
