Now that we have incremental reduce functions for topN and aggregations
we can set the default for `action.search.shard_count.limit` to unlimited.
This still allows users to restrict these settings while by default we executed
across all shards matching the search requests index pattern.
_field_stats has evolved quite a lot to become a multi purpose API capable of retrieving the field capabilities and the min/max value for a field.
In the mean time a more focused API called `_field_caps` has been added, this enpoint is a good replacement for _field_stats since he can
retrieve the field capabilities by just looking at the field mapping (no lookup in the index structures).
Also the recent improvement made to range queries makes the _field_stats API obsolete since this queries are now rewritten per shard based on the min/max found for the field.
This means that a range query that does not match any document in a shard can return quickly and can be cached efficiently.
For these reasons this change deprecates _field_stats. The deprecation should happen in 5.4 but we won't remove this API in 6.x yet which is why
this PR is made directly to 6.0.
The rest tests have also been adapted to not throw an error while this change is backported to 5.4.
They needed to be updated now that Painless is the default and
the non-sandboxed scripting languages are going away or gone.
I dropped the entire section about customizing the classloader
whitelists. In master this barely does anything (exposes more
things to expressions).
This change introduces a new API called `_field_caps` that allows to retrieve the capabilities of specific fields.
Example:
````
GET t,s,v,w/_field_caps?fields=field1,field2
````
... returns:
````
{
"fields": {
"field1": {
"string": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": true
}
},
"field2": {
"keyword": {
"searchable": false,
"aggregatable": true,
"non_searchable_indices": ["t"]
"indices": ["t", "s"]
},
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": false,
"non_aggregatable_indices": ["v"]
"indices": ["v", "w"]
}
}
}
}
````
In this example `field1` have the same type `text` across the requested indices `t`, `s`, `v`, `w`.
Conversely `field2` is defined with two conflicting types `keyword` and `long`.
Note that `_field_caps` does not treat this case as an error but rather return the list of unique types seen for this field.
This commit clarifies the preference docs regarding the explanation of
how operations are routed by default. In particular, the previous use of
"shard replicas" was confusing as it could imply an operation would only
be routed to replicas by default.

This is especially useful when we rewrite the query because the result of the rewrite can be very different on different shards. See #18254 for example.
* Add support for fragment_length in the unified highlighter
This commit introduce a new break iterator (a BoundedBreakIterator) designed for the unified highlighter
that is able to limit the size of fragments produced by generic break iterator like `sentence`.
The `unified` highlighter now supports `boundary_scanner` which can `words` or `sentence`.
The `sentence` mode will use the bounded break iterator in order to limit the size of the sentence to `fragment_length`.
When sentences bigger than `fragment_length` are produced, this mode will break the sentence at the next word boundary **after**
`fragment_length` is reached.
This commit adds a boundary_scanner property to the search highlight
request so the user can specify different boundary scanners:
* `chars` (default, current behavior)
* `word` Use a WordBreakIterator
* `sentence` Use a SentenceBreakIterator
This commit also adds "boundary_scanner_locale" to define which locale
should be used when scanning the text.
When nested objects are present in the mappings, many queries get deoptimized
due to the need to exclude documents that are not in the right space. For
instance, a filter is applied to all queries that prevents them from matching
non-root documents (`+*:* -_type:__*`). Moreover, a filter is applied to all
child queries of `nested` queries in order to make sure that the child query
only matches child documents (`_type:__nested_path`), which is required by
`ToParentBlockJoinQuery` (the Lucene query behing Elasticsearch's `nested`
queries).
These additional filters slow down `nested` queries. In 1.7-, the cost was
somehow amortized by the fact that we cached filters very aggressively. However,
this has proven to be a significant source of slow downs since 2.0 for users
of `nested` mappings and queries, see #20797.
This change makes the filtering a bit smarter. For instance if the query is a
`match_all` query, then we need to exclude nested docs. However, if the query
is `foo: bar` then it may only match root documents since `foo` is a top-level
field, so no additional filtering is required.
Another improvement is to use a `FILTER` clause on all types rather than a
`MUST_NOT` clause on all nested paths when possible since `FILTER` clauses
are more efficient.
Here are some examples of queries and how they get rewritten:
```
"match_all": {}
```
This query gets rewritten to `ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*)` on master and
`ConstantScore(_type:AutomatonQuery {\norg.apache.lucene.util.automaton.Automaton@4371da44})`
with this change. The automaton is the complement of `_type:__*` so it matches
the same documents, but is faster since it is now a positive clause. Simplistic
performance testing on a 10M index where each root document has 5 nested
documents on average gave a latency of 420ms on master and 90ms with this change
applied.
```
"term": {
"foo": {
"value": "0"
}
}
```
This query is rewritten to `+foo:0 #(ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*))^0.0` on
master and `foo:0` with this change: we do not need to filter nested docs out
since the query cannot match nested docs. While doing performance testing in
the same conditions as above, response times went from 250ms to 50ms.
```
"nested": {
"path": "nested",
"query": {
"term": {
"nested.foo": {
"value": "0"
}
}
}
}
```
This query is rewritten to
`+ToParentBlockJoinQuery (+nested.foo:0 #_type:__nested) #(ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*))^0.0`
on master and `ToParentBlockJoinQuery (nested.foo:0)` with this change. The
top-level filter (`-_type:__*`) could be removed since `nested` queries only
match documents of the parent space, as well as the child filter
(`#_type:__nested`) since the child query may only match nested docs since the
`nested` object has both `include_in_parent` and `include_in_root` set to
`false`. While doing performance testing in the same conditions as above,
response times went from 850ms to 270ms.
This pull request reuses the typed_keys parameter added in #22965, but this time it applies it to suggesters. When set to true, the suggester names in the search response will be prefixed with a prefix that reflects their type.
This changes removes the SearchResponseListener that was used by the ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener to expand collapsed hits.
The removal of SearchResponseListener is not a breaking change because it was never released.
This change also replace the blocking call in ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener by a single asynchronous multi search request. The parallelism of the expand request can be set via CollapseBuilder#max_concurrent_group_searches
Closes#23048
This commit removes support for the `application/x-ldjson` Content-Type header as this was only used in the first draft
of the spec and had very little uptake. Additionally, the docs for bulk and msearch have been updated to specifically
call out ndjson and mention that the newline character may be preceded by a carriage return.
Finally, the bulk request handling of the carriage return has been improved to remove this character from the source.
Closes#23025
These need to be CONSOLEified *now* because we're starting to
require Content-Type headers and they didn't have any.
* cluster/reroute: Marked as CONSOLE but skipped because the docs
build runs with a single node.
* docs/bulk: Marked as NOTCONSOLE because the snippets describe
either examples or `curl` commands. Fixed the `curl` command to
include the `Content-Type` header.
* query-dsl/terms-query: Marked as CONSOLE.
* search/request/rescore: Marked as CONSOLE. Fixed deprecated
syntax.

GeoDistance query, sort, and scripts make use of a crazy GeoDistance enum for handling 4 different ways of computing geo distance: SLOPPY_ARC, ARC, FACTOR, and PLANE. Only two of these are necessary: ARC, PLANE. This commit removes SLOPPY_ARC, and FACTOR and cleans up the way Geo distance is computed.
* Integrate UnifiedHighlighter
This change integrates the Lucene highlighter called "unified" in the list of supported highlighters for ES.
This highlighter can extract offsets from either postings, term vectors, or via re-analyzing text.
The best strategy is picked automatically at query time and depends on the field and the query to highlight.
* Add top hits collapsing to search request
The field collapsing is done with a custom top docs collector that "collapse" search hits with same field value.
The distributed aspect is resolve using the two passes that the regular search uses. The first pass "collapse" the top hits, then the coordinating node merge/collapse the top hits from each shard.
```
GET _search
{
"collapse": {
"field": "category",
}
}
```
This change also adds an ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener that intercepts the search response and expands collapsed hits using the CollapseBuilder#innerHit} options.
The retrieval of each inner_hits is done by sending a query to all shards filtered by the collapse key.
```
GET _search
{
"collapse": {
"field": "category",
"inner_hits": {
"size": 2
}
}
}
```
Currently both ProfileResult and CollectorResult print the time field in a human readable string format
(e.g. "time": "55.20315000ms"). When trying to parse this back to a long value, for example to use in
the planned high level java rest client, we can lose precision because of conversion and rounding issues.
This change adds a new additional field (`time_in_nanos`) to the profile response to be able to get the
original time value in nanoseconds back.
The old `time` field is only printed when the `?`human=true` flag in the url is set. This follow the behaviour for
all other stats-related apis. Also the format of the `time` field is slightly changed. Instead of always formatting
the output as a 10-digit ms value, by using the `XContentBuilder#timeValueField()` method we now print
the largest time unit present is used (e.g. "s", "ms", "micros").
This change disables the _all meta field by default.
Now that we have the "all-fields" method of query execution, we can save both
indexing time and disk space by disabling it.
_all can no longer be configured for indices created after 6.0.

Problem: So far all rank eval requests are being executed in parallel. If there
are more than the search thread pool can handle, or if there are other search
requests executed in parallel rank eval can fail.
Solution: Make number of max_concurrent_searches configurable.
Name of configuration parameter is analogous to msearch. Default
max_concurrent_searches set to 10: Rank_eval isn't particularly time critical so
trying to avoid being more clever than probably needed here. Can set this value
through the API to a higher value anytime.
Fixes#21403
Problem: We introduced the ability to shorten the rank eval request by using a
template in #20231. When playing with the API it turned out that there might be
use cases where - e.g. due to various heuristics - folks might want to translate
the original user query into more than just one type of Elasticsearch query.
Solution: Give each template an id that can later be referenced in the
actual requests.

* Replace _suggest endpoint to _search in docs
In 5.0, the _suggest endpoint is just sugar for _search
with suggestions specified. Users should move away from
using the _suggest endpoint, as it is marked as deprecated in 5.x and
will be removed in 6.0
* update docs to use _search endpoint instead of _suggest
* Add deprecation logging to RestSuggestAction
* Use search endpoint instead of suggest endpoint in rest tests
