The top-level class Throwable represents all errors and exceptions in
Java. This hierarchy is divided into Error and Exception, the former
being serious problems that applications should not try to catch and the
latter representing exceptional conditions that an application might
want to catch and handle. This commit renames
org.elasticsearch.cli.UserError to org.elasticsearch.UserException to
make its name consistent with where it falls in this hierarchy.

Node IDs are currently randomly generated during node startup. That means they change every time the node is restarted. While this doesn't matter for ES proper, it makes it hard for external services to track nodes. Another, more minor, side effect is that indexing the output of, say, the node stats API results in creating new fields due to node ID being used as keys.
The first approach I considered was to use the node's published address as the base for the id. We already [treat nodes with the same address as the same](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/discovery/zen/NodeJoinController.java#L387) so this is a simple change (see [here](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/compare/master...bleskes:node_persistent_id_based_on_address)). While this is simple and it works for probably most cases, it is not perfect. For example, if after a node restart, the node is not able to bind to the same port (because it's not yet freed by the OS), it will cause the node to still change identity. Also in environments where the host IP can change due to a host restart, identity will not be the same.
Due to those limitation, I opted to go with a different approach where the node id will be persisted in the node's data folder. This has the upside of connecting the id to the nodes data. It also means that the host can be adapted in any way (replace network cards, attach storage to a new VM). I
It does however also have downsides - we now run the risk of two nodes having the same id, if someone copies clones a data folder from one node to another. To mitigate this I changed the semantics of the protection against multiple nodes with the same address to be stricter - it will now reject the incoming join if a node exists with the same id but a different address. Note that if the existing node doesn't respond to pings (i.e., it's not alive) it will be removed and the new node will be accepted when it tries another join.
Last, and most importantly, this change requires that *all* nodes persist data to disk. This is a change from current behavior where only data & master nodes store local files. This is the main reason for marking this PR as breaking.
Other less important notes:
- DummyTransportAddress is removed as we need a unique network address per node. Use `LocalTransportAddress.buildUnique()` instead.
- I renamed `node.add_lid_to_custom_path` to `node.add_lock_id_to_custom_path` to avoid confusion with the node ID which is now part of the `NodeEnvironment` logic.
- I removed the `version` paramater from `MetaDataStateFormat#write` , it wasn't really used and was just in the way :)
- TribeNodes are special in the sense that they do start multiple sub-nodes (previously known as client nodes). Those sub-nodes do not store local files but derive their ID from the parent node id, so they are generated consistently.
Today throughout the codebase, catch throwable is used with reckless
abandon. This is dangerous because the throwable could be a fatal
virtual machine error resulting from an internal error in the JVM, or an
out of memory error or a stack overflow error that leaves the virtual
machine in an unstable and unpredictable state. This commit removes
catch throwable from the codebase and removes the temptation to use it
by modifying listener APIs to receive instances of Exception instead of
the top-level Throwable.

As discussed at https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-azure/issues/91#issuecomment-229113595, we know that the current `discovery-azure` plugin only works with Azure Classic VMs / Services (which is somehow Legacy now).
The proposal here is to rename `discovery-azure` to `discovery-azure-classic` in case some users are using it.
And deprecate it for 5.0.
Closes#19144.
As some plugins are becoming big now, it is hard for the user to know, if the plugin
is being downloaded or just nothing happens.
This commit adds a progress bar during download, which can be disabled by using the `-q`
parameter.
In addition this updates to jimfs 1.1, which allows us to test the batch mode, as adding
security policies are now supported due to having jimfs:// protocol support in URL stream
handlers.
This commit adds randomization for the packaging upgrade test. In
particular, we extract a list of the released version of Elasticsearch
from Maven Central and randomize the selection of the version to upgrade
from. The randomization is repeatable, and supports the tests.seed
property. Specific versions can be tested by setting the property
tests.packaging.upgrade.from.versions.

Registering a script engine or native scripts still uses Guice today
and is much more complicated than needed. This change moves to a pull
based model where script plugins have to implement a dedicated interface
`ScriptPlugin` and defines simple getter returning instances rather than
classes.
The database files have been doubled in size compared to the previous files being used.
For this reason the database files are now gzip compressed, which required using
`GZIPInputStream` when loading database files.
Previously Elasticsearch used $DATA_DIR/$CLUSTER_NAME/nodes for the path
where data is stored, this commit changes that to be $DATA_DIR/nodes.
On startup, if the old folder structure is detected it will be used.
This behavior will be removed in Elasticsearch 6.0
Resolves#17810
Folded grok processor into ingest-common module.
The rest tests have been moved to ingest-common module as well, because these tests don't run in the rest-api-spec module but in the distribution:integ-test-zip module
and adding a test plugin there felt just wrong to me. I think this is ok. I left a tiny ingest rest test behind in that tests with an empty pipeline.
Removed messy tests, these tests were already covered in the rest tests
Added ingest test plugin in test infra so that each module testing integration with ingest doesn't need write its own plugin
Moved reindex ingest tests to qa module
Closes#18490
We have 3 evil tests for jarhell. They have been failing in java 9
because of how evil they are. The first checks the leniency we add for
jarhell in the jdk itself. This is unecessary, since if the leniency
wasn't there, we would already be failing all jarhell checks. The second
is checking the compile version is compatible with the jdk. This is
simpler since we don't need to fake the java version: we know 1.7 should
be compatibile with both java 8 and 9, so we can use that as a constant.
Finally the last test checks if the java version system property is
broken. This is simply something we should not check, we have to trust
that java specifies it correctly, and again, if it was broken, all
jarhell checks would be broken.
Lucene SuppressForbidden is marked lucene.internal and should not be
used outside of Lucene. This commit removes the uses of this class
within Elasticsearch. Instead,
org.elasticsearch.common.SuppressForbidden should be used, which was
already the case in most places.
This commit fixes an issue with the plugins directory being a symbolic
link. Namely, the install plugins command attempts to always create the
plugins directory just in case it does not exist. The JDK method used
here guarantees that the directory is created, and an exception is not
thrown if the directory could not be created because it already
exists. The problem is that this JDK method does not respect symlinks so
its internal existence checks fails, it proceeds to attempt to create
the directory, but the directory creation fails because the symlink
exists. This is documented as being not an issue. We work around this by
checking if there is a symlink where we expect the plugins directory to
be, and only attempt to create if not. We add a unit test that plugin
installation to a symlinked plugins directory works as expected.
This commit removes the ability to specify a custom plugins
path. Instead, the plugins path will always be a subdirectory called
"plugins" off of the home directory.
- now you can specify a list of grok patterns to match your field with
and the first one to successfully match wins.
- only non-null captures will be inserted into your matched document.
Fixes#17903.
This removes the ScriptMode class entirely, which was an enum with two
options (ON and OFF) which essentially boiled down to true and false.
Now the boolean values are used instead.
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)
