Followup to #60216, fixing the formatting of
`transport.tcp.reuse_address` and clarifying some wording around the
distinction between the transport and HTTP layers.
Elasticsearch currently blocks writes by default when a master is unavailable. The cluster.no_master_block setting allows
a user to change this behavior to also block reads when a master is unavailable. This PR introduces a way to now also still
allow writes when a master is offline. Writes will continue to work as long as routing table changes are not needed (as
those require the master for consistency), or if dynamic mapping updates are not required (as again, these require the
master for consistency).
Eventually we should switch the default of cluster.no_master_block to this new mode.
This commit introduces a new thread pool, `system_read`, which is
intended for use by system indices for all read operations (get and
search). The `system_read` pool is a fixed thread pool with a maximum
number of threads equal to lesser of half of the available processors
or 5. Given the combination of both get and read operations in this
thread pool, the queue size has been set to 2000. The motivation for
this change is to allow system read operations to be serviced in spite
of the number of user searches.
In order to avoid a significant performance hit due to pattern matching
on all search requests, a new metadata flag is added to mark indices
as system or non-system. Previously created system indices will have
flag added to their metadata upon upgrade to a version with this
capability.
Additionally, this change also introduces a new class, `SystemIndices`,
which encapsulates logic around system indices. Currently, the class
provides a method to check if an index is a system index and a method
to find a matching index descriptor given the name of an index.

There is no point in timing out a join attempt any more once a cluster
is entirely in 7.x. Timing out and retrying with the same master is
pointless, and an in-flight join attempt to one master no longer blocks
attempts to join other masters. This commit deprecates this unnecessary
setting and removes its effect from the joining process.
Relates #60873 which removes this setting in master.
Plugin discovery documentation contained information about installing
Elasticsearch 2.0 and installing an oracle JDK, both of which is no
longer valid.
While noticing that the instructions used cleartext HTTP to install
packages, this commit replaces HTTPs links instead of HTTP where possible.
In addition a few community links have been removed, as they do not seem
to exist anymore.

Today there are a few places in the transport layer docs where we talk
about communication between nodes _within a cluster_. We also use the
transport layer for remote cluster connections, and these statements
also apply there, but this is not clear from today's docs. This commit
generalises these statements to make it clear that they apply to remote
cluster connections too.
It also adds a link from the docs on configuring TCP retries to the
(deeply-buried) docs on preserving long-lived connections.
This feature adds a new `fields` parameter to the search request, which
consults both the document `_source` and the mappings to fetch fields in a
consistent way. The PR merges the `field-retrieval` feature branch.
Addresses #49028 and #55363.
Keepalive options are not well-documented (only in transport section, although also available at http and network level).

keepalives tell any intermediate devices that the connection remains alive, which helps with overzealous firewalls that are
killing idle connections. keepalives are enabled by default in Elasticsearch, but use system defaults for their
configuration, which often times do not have reasonable defaults (e.g. 7200s for TCP_KEEP_IDLE) in the context of
distributed systems such as Elasticsearch.
This PR sets the socket-level keep_alive options for network.tcp.{keep_idle,keep_interval} to 5 minutes on configurations
that support it (>= Java 11 & (MacOS || Linux)) and where the system defaults are set to something higher than 5
minutes. This helps keep the connections alive while not interfering with system defaults or user-specified settings
unless they are deemed to be set too high by providing better out-of-the-box defaults.
Part of #48366. Add documentation for the dangling indices
API added in #58176.

Today, we send operations in phase2 of peer recoveries batch by batch
sequentially. Normally that's okay as we should have a fairly small of
operations in phase 2 due to the file-based threshold. However, if
phase1 takes a lot of time and we are actively indexing, then phase2 can
have a lot of operations to replay.
With this change, we will send multiple batches concurrently (defaults
to 1) to reduce the recovery time.

The read-only-allow-delete block is not really under the user's control
since Elasticsearch adds/removes it automatically. This commit removes
support for it from the new API for adding blocks to indices that was
introduced in #58094.
Restoring from a snapshot (which is a particular form of recovery) does not currently take recovery throttling into account
(i.e. the `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec` setting). While restores are subject to their own throttling (repository
setting `max_restore_bytes_per_sec`), this repository setting does not allow for values to be configured differently on a
per-node basis. As restores are very similar in nature to peer recoveries (streaming bytes to the node), it makes sense to
configure throttling in a single place.
The `max_restore_bytes_per_sec` setting is also changed to default to unlimited now, whereas previously it was set to
`40mb`, which is the current default of `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec`). This means that no behavioral change
will be observed by clusters where the recovery and restore settings were not adapted.

Today we have individual settings for configuring node roles such as
node.data and node.master. Additionally, roles are pluggable and we have
used this to introduce roles such as node.ml and node.voting_only. As
the number of roles is growing, managing these becomes harder for the
user. For example, to create a master-only node, today a user has to
configure:
- node.data: false
- node.ingest: false
- node.remote_cluster_client: false
- node.ml: false
at a minimum if they are relying on defaults, but also add:
- node.master: true
- node.transform: false
- node.voting_only: false
If they want to be explicit. This is also challenging in cases where a
user wants to have configure a coordinating-only node which requires
disabling all roles, a list which we are adding to, requiring the user
to keep checking whether a node has acquired any of these roles.
This commit addresses this by adding a list setting node.roles for which
a user has explicit control over the list of roles that a node has. If
the setting is configured, the node has exactly the roles in the list,
and not any additional roles. This means to configure a master-only
node, the setting is merely 'node.roles: [master]', and to configure a
coordinating-only node, the setting is merely: 'node.roles: []'.
With this change we deprecate the existing 'node.*' settings such as
'node.data'.
**Goal**
Create a top-level search section. This will let us clean up our search
API reference docs, particularly content from [`Request body search`][0].
**Changes**
* Creates a top-level `Search your data` page. This page is designed to
house concept and tutorial docs related to search.
* Creates a `Run a search` page under `Search your data`. For now, This
contains a basic search tutorial. The goal is to add content from
[`Request body search`][0] to this in the future.
* Relocates `Long-running searches` and `Search across clusters` under
`Search your data`. Increments several headings in that content.
* Reorders the top-level TOC to move `Search your data` higher. Also
moves the `Query DSL`, `EQL`, and `SQL access` chapters immediately
after.
