Adds documentation for the `minimum_should_match` parameter to the `bool` query docs. Includes docs for the default values:
- `1` if the `bool` query includes at least one `should` clause and no `must` or `filter` clauses
- `0` otherwise
When building a query Lucene distinguishes two cases, queries that require to produce a score and queries that only need to match. We cloned this mechanism in the QueryBuilders in order to be able to produce different queries based on whether they need to produce a score or not. However the only case in es that require this distinction is the BoolQueryBuilder that sets a different minimum_should_match when a `bool` query is built in a filter context..
This behavior doesn't seem right because it makes the matching of `should` clauses different when the score is not required.
Closes#35293
Docs: rewrite description of `bool`'s `should`
Rewrites the description of the `bool` query's `should`
clauses so it is (hopefully) more clear what the defaults
for `minimum_should_match` are.
There is still an `[IMPORTANT]` section about `minimum_should_match`
in a filter context. I think it is worth keeping because it is, well,
important.
Closes#23831
We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.
Some notes about the change:
- it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
- it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
- two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
These clauses filter the document space without affecting scoring and map to
Lucene's BooleanClause.Occur.FILTER. The `filtered` query is now deprecated and
```json
{
"filtered": {
"query": { //query },
"filter": { //filter }
}
}
```
should be replaced with
```json
{
"bool": {
"must": { //query },
"filter": { //filter }
}
}
```
This commit makes queries and filters parsed the same way using the
QueryParser abstraction. This allowed to remove duplicate code that we had
for similar queries/filters such as `range`, `prefix` or `term`.
