* Search enhancement: pinned queries (#44345)
Search enhancement: - new query type allows selected documents to be promoted above any "organic” search results.
This is the first feature in a new module `search-business-rules` which will house licensed (non OSS) logic for rewriting queries according to business rules.
The PinnedQueryBuilder class offers a new `pinned` query in the DSL that takes an array of promoted IDs and an “organic” query and ensures the documents with the promoted IDs rank higher than the organic matches.
Closes#44074
Ranaming as follows:
feature -> rank_feature
feature_vector -> rank_features
feature query -> rank_feature query
Ranaming is done to distinguish from other vector types.
Closes#36723
Lucene has a new `FeatureField` which gives the ability to record numeric
features as term frequencies. Its main benefit is that it allows to boost
queries with the values of these features and efficiently skip non-competitive
documents at the same time using block-max WAND and indexed impacts.
Also replaced the PercolatorQueryRegistry with the new PercolatorQueryCache.
The PercolatorFieldMapper stores the rewritten form of each percolator query's xcontext
in a binary doc values field. This make sure that the query rewrite happens only during
indexing (some queries for example fetch shapes, terms in remote indices) and
the speed up the loading of the queries in the percolator query cache.
Because the percolator now works inside the search infrastructure a number of features
(sorting fields, pagination, fetch features) are available out of the box.
The following feature requests are automatically implemented via this refactoring:
