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.

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.
In 2.0 we added plugin descriptors which require defining a name and
description for the plugin. However, we still have name() and
description() which must be overriden from the Plugin class. This still
exists for classpath plugins. But classpath plugins are mainly for
tests, and even then, referring to classpath plugins with their class is
a better idea. This change removes name() and description(), replacing
the name for classpath plugins with the full class name.
Previously multiple extensions could be provided, however, this can lead
to confusion with on-disk scripts (ie, "foo.js" and "foo.javascript")
having different content. Only a single extension is now supported.
The only language currently supporting multiple extensions was the
Javascript engine ("js" and "javascript"). It now only supports the
`.js` extension.
Relates to #10598
This removes all the mentions of the sandbox from the script engine
services and permissions model. This means that the following settings
are no longer supported:
```yaml
script.inline: sandbox
script.stored: sandbox
```
Instead, only a `true` or `false` value can be specified.
Since this would otherwise break the default-allow parameter for
languages like expressions, painless, and mustache, all script engines
have been updated to have individual settings, for instance:
```yaml
script.engine.groovy.inline: true
```
Would enable all inline scripts for groovy. (they can still be
overridden on a per-operation basis).
Expressions, Painless, and Mustache all default to `true` for inline,
file, and stored scripts to preserve the old scripting behavior.
Resolves#17114
`text` fields will have fielddata disabled by default. Fielddata can still be
enabled on an existing index by setting `fielddata=true` in the mappings.
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
Removes all our logger wrappers except the wrapper for log4j1.2. If you
depend on Elasticsearch's jar in your application you'll need to declare
log4j 1.2 and/or some bridge to your favorite logger.
We did this to simplify our builds and code. No more commons-logging like
log implementation sniffing. No more optional dependency hacks in gradle.
We might one day want to use j.u.l instead of log4j. If we do want that
we can recover its wrapper by studying this commit. We didn't go directly
to j.u.l in this commit because that is a bigger change. Our logging
configuration is based on log4j1.2 and people are used to it. So it'd
be a much more fraught breaking change to do that conversion.
Groovy uses reflection to invoke closures. These reflective calls are optimized by the JVM after "sun.reflect.inflationThreshold" number of invocations.
After inflation, access to sun.reflect.MethodAccessorImpl is required from the security manager.
Closes#16536
This commit method renames the ScriptEngineService interface methods
types, extensions, and sandboxed to getTypes, getExtensions, and
isSandboxed, respectively.
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 rest test framework, because it used to be tightly integrated with
ESIntegTestCase, currently expects the addresses for the test cluster to
be passed using the transport protocol port. However, it only uses this
to then find the http address.
This change makes ESRestTestCase extend from ESTestCase instead of
ESIntegTestCase, and changes the sysprop used to tests.rest.cluster,
which now takes the http address.
closes#15459
This commit removes and now forbids all uses of
java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom across the codebase. The
underlying issue with ThreadLocalRandom is that it can not be
seeded. This means that if ThreadLocalRandom is used in production code,
then tests that cover any code path containing ThreadLocalRandom will be
prevented from being reproducible by use of ThreadLocalRandom. Instead,
using org.elasticsearch.common.random.Randomness#get will give
reproducible sources of random when running under tests and otherwise
still give an instance of ThreadLocalRandom when running as production
code.
This fixes the `lenient` parameter to be `missingClasses`. I will remove this boolean and we can handle them via the normal whitelist.
It also adds a check for sheisty classes (jar hell with the jdk).
This is inspired by the lucene "sheisty" classes check, but it has false positives. This check is more evil, it validates every class file against the extension classloader as a resource, to see if it exists there. If so: jar hell.
This jar hell is a problem for several reasons:
1. causes insanely-hard-to-debug problems (like bugs in forbidden-apis)
2. hides problems (like internal api access)
3. the code you think is executing, is not really executing
4. security permissions are not what you think they are
5. brings in unnecessary dependencies
6. its jar hell
The more difficult problems are stuff like jython, where these classes are simply 'uberjared' directly in, so you cant just fix them by removing a bogus dependency. And there is a legit reason for them to do that, they want to support java 1.4.
Since 2.2 we run all scripts with minimal privileges, similar to applets in your browser.
The problem is, they have unrestricted access to other things they can muck with (ES, JDK, whatever).
So they can still easily do tons of bad things
This PR restricts what classes scripts can load via the classloader mechanism, to make life more difficult.
The "standard" list was populated from the old list used for the groovy sandbox: though
a few more were needed for tests to pass (java.lang.String, java.util.Iterator, nothing scary there).
Additionally, each scripting engine typically needs permissions to some runtime stuff.
That is the downside of this "good old classloader" approach, but I like the transparency and simplicity,
and I don't want to waste my time with any feature provided by the engine itself for this, I don't trust them.
This is not perfect and the engines are not perfect but you gotta start somewhere. For expert users that
need to tweak the permissions, we already support that via the standard java security configuration files, the
specification is simple, supports wildcards, etc (though we do not use them ourselves).
* Forbid System.setProperties & co in forbidden APIs.
* Ban property write access at runtime with security manager.
Plugins that need to modify system properties will need to request permission in their plugin-security.policy
the current jar is over 3 years old, we should upgrade it for bugfixes.
the current integration could be more secure: set a global policy and enforce additional (compile-time) checks
closes#14466
This change removes the leftover pom files. A couple files were left for
reference, namely in qa tests that have not yet been migrated (vagrant
and multinode). The deb and rpm assemblies also still exist for
reference when finishing their setup in gradle.
See #13930
There are three ways `@Test` was used. Way one:
```java
@Test
public void flubTheBlort() {
```
This way was always replaced with:
```java
public void testFlubTheBlort() {
```
Or, maybe with a better method name if I was feeling generous.
Way two:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
methodThatThrows();
}
```
This way of using `@Test` is actually pretty OK, but to get the tools to ban
`@Test` entirely it can't be used. Instead:
```java
public void testFoo() {
try {
methodThatThrows();
fail("Expected IllegalArgumentException");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e ) {
assertThat(e.getMessage(), containsString("something"));
}
}
```
This is longer but tests more than the old ways and is much more precise.
Compare:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
some();
copy();
and();
pasted();
methodThatThrows();
code(); // <---- This was left here by mistake and is never called
}
```
to:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
some();
copy();
and();
pasted();
try {
methodThatThrows();
fail("Expected IllegalArgumentException");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e ) {
assertThat(e.getMessage(), containsString("something"));
}
}
```
The final use of test is:
```java
@Test(timeout=1000)
public void testFoo() {
methodThatWasSlow();
}
```
This is the most insidious use of `@Test` because its tempting but tragically
flawed. Its flaws are:
1. Hard and fast timeouts can look like they are asserting that something is
faster and even do an ok job of it when you compare the timings on the same
machine but as soon as you take them to another machine they start to be
invalid. On a slow VM both the new and old methods fail. On a super-fast
machine the slower and faster ways succeed.
2. Tests often contain slow `assert` calls so the performance of tests isn't
sure to predict the performance of non-test code.
3. These timeouts are rude to debuggers because the test just drops out from
under it after the timeout.
Confusingly, timeouts are useful in tests because it'd be rude for a broken
test to cause CI to abort the whole build after it hits a global timeout. But
those timeouts should be very very long "backstop" timeouts and aren't useful
assertions about speed.
For all its flaws `@Test(timeout=1000)` doesn't have a good replacement __in__
__tests__. Nightly benchmarks like http://benchmarks.elasticsearch.org/ are
useful here because they run on the same machine but they aren't quick to check
and it takes lots of time to figure out the regressions. Sometimes its useful
to compare dueling implementations but that requires keeping both
implementations around. All and all we don't have a satisfactory answer to the
question "what do you replace `@Test(timeout=1000)`" with. So we handle each
occurrence on a case by case basis.
For files with `@Test` this also:
1. Removes excess blank lines. They don't help anything.
2. Removes underscores from method names. Those would fail any code style
checks we ever care to run and don't add to readability. Since I did this manually
I didn't do it consistently.
3. Make sure all test method names start with `test`. Some used to end in `Test` or start
with `verify` or `check` and they were picked up using the annotation. Without the
annotation they always need to start with `test`.
4. Organizes imports using the rules we generate for Eclipse. For the most part
this just removes `*` imports which is a win all on its own. It was "required"
to quickly remove `@Test`.
5. Removes unneeded casts. This is just a setting I have enabled in Eclipse and
forgot to turn off before I did this work. It probably isn't hurting anything.
6. Removes trailing whitespace. Again, another Eclipse setting I forgot to turn
off that doesn't hurt anything. Hopefully.
7. Swaps some tests override superclass tests to make them empty with
`assumeTrue` so that the reasoning for the skips is logged in the test run and
it doesn't "look like" that thing is being tested when it isn't.
8. Adds an oxford comma to an error message.
The total test count doesn't change. I know. I counted.
```bash
git checkout master && mvn clean && mvn install | tee with_test
git no_test_annotation master && mvn clean && mvn install | tee not_test
grep 'Tests summary' with_test > with_test_summary
grep 'Tests summary' not_test > not_test_summary
diff with_test_summary not_test_summary
```
These differ somewhat because some tests are skipped based on the random seed.
The total shouldn't differ. But it does!
```
1c1
< [INFO] Tests summary: 564 suites (1 ignored), 3171 tests, 31 ignored (31 assumptions)
---
> [INFO] Tests summary: 564 suites (1 ignored), 3167 tests, 17 ignored (17 assumptions)
```
These are the core unit tests. So we dig further:
```bash
cat with_test | perl -pe 's/\n// if /^Suite/;s/.*\n// if /IGNOR/;s/.*\n// if /Assumption #/;s/.*\n// if /HEARTBEAT/;s/Completed .+?,//' | grep Suite > with_test_suites
cat not_test | perl -pe 's/\n// if /^Suite/;s/.*\n// if /IGNOR/;s/.*\n// if /Assumption #/;s/.*\n// if /HEARTBEAT/;s/Completed .+?,//' | grep Suite > not_test_suites
diff <(sort with_test_suites) <(sort not_test_suites)
```
The four tests with lower test numbers are all extend `AbstractQueryTestCase`
and all have a method that looks like this:
```java
@Override
public void testToQuery() throws IOException {
assumeTrue("test runs only when at least a type is registered", getCurrentTypes().length > 0);
super.testToQuery();
}
```
It looks like this method was being double counted on master and isn't anymore.

* Add ability for plugins to declare additional permissions with a custom plugin-security.policy file and corresponding AccessController logic. See the plugin author's guide for more information.
* Add warning messages to users for extra plugin permissions in bin/plugin.
* When bin/plugin is run interactively (stdin is a controlling terminal and -b/--batch not supplied), require user confirmation.
* Improve unit test and IDE support for plugins with additional permissions by exposing plugin's metadata as a maven test resource.
