Meta plugins existed only for a short time, in order to enable breaking
up x-pack into multiple plugins. However, now that x-pack is no longer
installed as a plugin, the need for them has disappeared. This commit
removes the meta plugins infrastructure.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
This commit makes the controller spawner also look under modules. It
also fixes a bug in module security policy loading where the module is a
meta plugin.
This commit adds the ability to package multiple plugins in a single zip.
The zip file for a meta plugin must contains the following structure:
|____elasticsearch/
| |____ <plugin1> <-- The plugin files for plugin1 (the content of the elastisearch directory)
| |____ <plugin2> <-- The plugin files for plugin2
| |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties <-- example contents below
The meta plugin properties descriptor is mandatory and must contain the following properties:
description: simple summary of the meta plugin.
name: the meta plugin name
The installation process installs each plugin in a sub-folder inside the meta plugin directory.
The example above would create the following structure in the plugins directory:
|_____ plugins
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
If the sub plugins contain a config or a bin directory, they are copied in a sub folder inside the meta plugin config/bin directory.
|_____ config
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
|_____ bin
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
The sub-plugins are loaded at startup like normal plugins with the same restrictions; they have a separate class loader and a sub-plugin
cannot have the same name than another plugin (or a sub-plugin inside another meta plugin).
It is also not possible to remove a sub-plugin inside a meta plugin, only full removal of the meta plugin is allowed.
Closes#27316
Only tests should use the single argument Environment constructor. To
enforce this the single arg Environment constructor has been replaced with
a test framework factory method.
Production code (beyond initial Bootstrap) should always use the same
Environment object that Node.getEnvironment() returns. This Environment
is also available via dependency injection.
Windows handles trying to read a file that does not exist because a
component of the path is not a directory differently than other OS
handle this situation. This commit adjusts these assertions for Windows.
Finder creates these files if you browse a directory there. These files
are really annoying, but it's an incredible pain for users that these
files are created unbeknownst to them, and then they get in the way of
Elasticsearch starting. This commit adds leniency on macOS only to skip
these files.

This commit fixes the handling of POSIX permissions on Windows in the
spawner tests. Since POSIX permissions do not exist there, we first have
to check if we are on a filesystem that supports POSIX or not before
attempting to set the permissions.
Today in the codebase we refer to seccomp everywhere instead of system
call filter even if we are not specifically referring to Linux. This
commit is a purely mechanical change to refer to system call filter
where appropriate instead of the general seccomp, and only leaves
seccomp in place when actually referring to the Linux implementation.
