Since replica counts and allocation rules are set separately, it is not always clear how many replicas are to be allocated in the allocate action. Moving the replicas action to occur at the same time as the allocate action, resolves this confusion that could end an undesired state. This means that the ReplicasAction is removed, and a new optional replicas parameter is added to AllocateAction.
This was originally set to a few seconds while prototyping things.
This interval is for the scheduled trigger of policies. Policies
have this extra trigger beyond just on cluster-state changes because
cluster-state changes may not be happeneing in a cluster for
whatever reason, and we need to continue making progress. Updating
this value to be larger is reasonable since not all operations
are expected to be completed in the span of seconds, but instead in
minutes and hours. 10 minutes is sane.
This commit does the following:
- renames index-lifecycle plugin to ilm
- modifies the endpoints to ilm instead of index_lifecycle
- drops _xpack from the endpoints
- drops a few duplicate endpoints
