Currently we suggesting users create a Node (using NodeBuilder in 2.x) to have a client that is capable of keeping up-to-date information. This is generally a bad idea as it means elasticsearch has no control over eg max heap size or gc settings, and is also problematic for users because they must deal with dependency collisions (and in 2.x+ dependencies of elasticsearch itself).
A better alternative, and what we should document, is to run a local elasticsearch server using bin/elasticsearch, and then use the transport client to connect to that local node. This local connection is virtually free, and allows the client code to be completely isolated from the elasticsearch process. Plugins are then also easy to deal with: just install them in elasticsearch as usual.

ba5be0332d removed support for degrading
to slf4j and j.u.l but didn't document this as a breaking change because
it is only breaking for folks using Elasticsearch's jar as a java client.
People do that so this counts as a breaking change.
Also, if anyone was brave enough to try and replace log4j on an installed
version of Elasticsearch that will no longer work and this documents that
as well. It doens't get a full heading and instead lives with the java
client notes. Mostly because I can't imagine it worked consistently enough
for anyone to actually do it in the first place. We just never tested it
well enough to make sure we didn't break it after it was implemented.
This commit adds a note to the migration docs regarding the reduction of
the Groovy dependencies from the groovy-all artifact to the groovy
artifact that was previously done in
180ab2493e.

This commit removes the system property "es.useLinkedTransferQueue" that
defaulted to false and was used to control the queue implementation used
in a few places.
Closes#16786
Java NIO has the notion of gathering writes. These are writes that
gather data from multiple buffers into a single channel. These gathering
writes in Netty have been enabled by default with the possibility to
disable them using "es.netty.gathering". This flag was added in case
having gathering writes on by default did not work out. We have not
published this ability and sufficient time has passed to render
judgement that using gathering writes is okay.
Closes#16774
Elasticsearch should reject ids that are this long, to ensure a document
always remains retrievable for clients that impose a maximum URI length
Closes#16034
This commit removes the es.max-open-files flag as the same information
can be obtained from the cluster nodes info API, and is warn logged on
startup if it's set too low anyway.
Closes#16757
2.x has show so far that running with security manager is the way to go.
This commit make this non-optional. Users that need to pass their own rules
can still do this via the system configuration for the security manager. They
can even opt out of all security that way.
This commit moves IndicesRequestCache into o.e.indics and makes all API in this
class package private. All references to SearchReqeust, SearchContext etc. have been factored
out and relevant glue code has been added to IndicesService. The IndicesRequestCache is not a
simple class without any hard dependencies on ThreadPool nor SearchService or IndexShard. This now
allows to add unittests.
This commit also removes two settings `indices.requests.cache.clean_interval` and `indices.fielddata.cache.clean_interval`
in favor of `indices.cache.clean_interval` which cleans both caches.
The cat API previously used the Content-Type header field for
determining the media type of the response. This is in opposition to the
HTTP spec which specifies the Accept header field for this purpose. This
commit replaces the use of the Content-Type header field with the Accept
header field in the cat API.
Closes#14421
This processor is useful when all elements of a json array need to be processed in the same way.
This avoids that a processor needs to be defined for each element in an array.
Also it is very likely that it is unknown how many elements are inside an json array.
As a prerequisite for refactoring the whole PhraseSuggestionBuilder
to be able to be parsed and streamed from the coordinating node, the
DirectCandidateGenerator must implement Writeable, be able to parse
a new instance (fromXContent()) and later when transported to the
shard to generate a PhraseSuggestionContext.DirectCandidateGenerator.
Also adding equals/hashCode and tests and moving DirectCandidateGenerator
to its own DirectCandidateGeneratorBuilder class.
This commit adds a tip to the setup docs for how to detect whether the
user is running on a system that uses SysV-style init versus systemd.
Closes#16323
This setting was missing from the docs, so I added it. However, I also
completely rewrote the nodes documentation page because it was mostly
talking about client nodes with some issues, without ever discussing
master nodes, or even tribe nodes. All nodes should be listed on a
"nodes" documentation page.
Fixes#15903Fixed#14429
This commit limits the `index.translog.sync_interval` to a value not less than `100ms` and
removes the support for fsync on every operation which used to be enabled if `index.translog.sync_interval` was set to `0s`
Now this pr also only schedules an async fsync if the durability is set to `async`. By default not async task is scheduled.
Closes#16152
This commit converts the script mode settings to the new settings
infrastructure. This is a major refactoring of the handling of script
mode settings. This refactoring is necessary because these settings are
determined at runtime based on the registered script engines and the
registered script contexts.
The search_after parameter provides a way to efficiently paginate from one page to the next. This parameter accepts an array of sort values, those values are then used by the searcher to sort the top hits from the first document that is greater to the sort values.
This parameter must be used in conjunction with the sort parameter, it must contain exactly the same number of values than the number of fields to sort on.
NOTE: A field with one unique value per document should be used as the last element of the sort specification. Otherwise the sort order for documents that have the same sort values would be undefined. The recommended way is to use the field `_uuid` which is certain to contain one unique value for each document.
Fixes#8192
Doc values can now only be enabled by setting `doc_values: true` in the
mappings. Removing this feature also means that we can now fail mapping updates
that try to disable doc values.
Doc values currently default to `true` if the field is indexed and not analyzed.
So setting `index:no` automatically disables doc values, which is not explicit
in the documentation.
This commit makes doc values default to true for numerics, booleans regardless
of whether they are indexed. Not indexed strings still don't have doc values,
since we can't know whether it is rather a text or keyword field. This
potential source of confusion should go away when we split `string` into `text`
and `keyword`.
RescoreBuilder: Add parsing and creating of RescoreSearchContext
Adding the ability to parse from xContent to the rescore builder. Also making RescoreBuilder an abstract base class that encapsulates the window_size setting, with QueryRescoreBuilder as its only implementation at the moment.

Merge feature/ingest branch into master branch.
This adds the ingest feature to ES that allows to preprocess document before indexing on an ingest node.
By default a node is an ingest node. Documents are preprocessed via a pipeline. A pipeline consists
out of one or more processors Each processor makes one or more modifications to a document processed.
There are many types of processors available out-of-the-box that are designed to make a specific change to a document being processed. In a cluster many pipeline can be configured via dedicated pipeline APIs. An new option on the bulk
and index APIs allows to control what pipeline is picked for preprocessing. If no pipeline is specified then the ingest
feature is skipped and no preprocessing takes place.
- move ingest plugin docs to core reference docs
- move geoip processor docs to plugins/ingest-geoip.asciidoc
- add missing options tables for some processors
- add description of pipeline definition
- add description of processor definitions including common parameters
like "tag" and "on_failure"
With this commit we deprecate the widely misunderstood
fuzzy query but will still allow the fuzziness
parameter in match queries and suggesters.

This commit modifies the default setting for standard output in the
systemd configuration to the journal instead of /dev/null. This is to
address a user pain point where Elasticsearch would fail to start but
the error message would be sent to standard output and therefore
/dev/null leading to difficult-to-debug situations.
* Cleaned up MapperService#searchFilter(...) and moved it DefaultSearchContext, since it that class was the only user. As part of the cleanup percolate query documents are no longer excluded from the search response.
* Removed resolveClosestNestedObjectMapper(...) method as it was no longer used.
* Removed DocumentTypeListener infrastructure. Before it was used by the percolator and parent/child, but these features no longer use it.
Closes#15924
* Remove remaining 1.x bwc logic.
* Stop storing stored fields and indexed terms. The _parent field's only purpose is to support joins between parent and child type and only storing doc values is sufficient.
* In the mapping the parent field mapper is now known under '{parent}#{child}' key, because this is the field the parent/child join uses too.
* Added new sub fetch phase to lookup that _parent field from doc values field if that is required (before this was fetched from stored _parent field)
* Removed the ability to query directly on `_parent` in the query dsl. Instead the `{parent}#{child}` field should be used. Under the hood a doc values query is used instead of a term query, because only doc values fields are stored now.
* Added a new `parent_id` query to easily query child documents with a specific parent id without having to know what join field to use
* Also in aggregations `_parent` field can't be used any more and `{parent}#{child}` field name should be used instead to aggregate directly on the _parent join field.
