* [ILM] Add date setting to calculate index age
Add the `index.lifecycle.origination_date` to allow users to configure a
custom date that'll be used to calculate the index age for the phase
transmissions (as opposed to the default index creation date).
This could be useful for users to create an index with an "older"
origination date when indexing old data.
Relates to #42449.
* [ILM] Don't override creation date on policy init
The initial approach we took was to override the lifecycle creation date
if the `index.lifecycle.origination_date` setting was set. This had the
disadvantage of the user not being able to update the `origination_date`
anymore once set.
This commit changes the way we makes use of the
`index.lifecycle.origination_date` setting by checking its value when
we calculate the index age (ie. at "read time") and, in case it's not
set, default to the index creation date.
* Make origination date setting index scope dynamic
* Document orignation date setting in ilm settings

This uses whatever the server retrieves, rather than hardcoded
"STOPPING" and "STOPPED" since the server may go to STOPPED before the

* Add retention to Snapshot Lifecycle Management (#46407)
This commit adds retention to the existing Snapshot Lifecycle Management feature (#38461) as described in #43663. This allows a user to configure SLM to automatically delete older snapshots based on a number of criteria.
An example policy would look like:
```
PUT /_slm/policy/snapshot-every-day
{
"schedule": "0 30 2 * * ?",
"name": "<production-snap-{now/d}>",
"repository": "my-s3-repository",
"config": {
"indices": ["foo-*", "important"]
},
// Newly configured retention options
"retention": {
// Snapshots should be deleted after 14 days
"expire_after": "14d",
// Keep a maximum of thirty snapshots
"max_count": 30,
// Keep a minimum of the four most recent snapshots
"min_count": 4
}
}
```
SLM Retention is run on a scheduled configurable with the `slm.retention_schedule` setting, which supports cron expressions. Deletions are run for a configurable time bounded by the `slm.retention_duration` setting, which defaults to 1 hour.
Included in this work is a new SLM stats API endpoint available through
``` json
GET /_slm/stats
```
That returns statistics about snapshot taken and deleted, as well as successful retention runs, failures, and the time spent deleting snapshots. #45362 has more information as well as an example of the output. These stats are also included when retrieving SLM policies via the API.

* Time-bound deletion of snapshots in retention delete function
With a cluster that has a large number of snapshots, it's possible that
snapshot deletion can take a very long time (especially since deletes
currently have to happen in a serial fashion). To prevent snapshot
deletion from taking forever in a cluster and blocking other operations,
this commit adds a setting to allow configuring a maximum time to spend
deletion snapshots during retention. This dynamic setting defaults to 1
hour and is best-effort, meaning that it doesn't hard stop a deletion
at an hour mark, but ensures that once the time has passed, all
subsequent deletions are deferred until the next retention cycle.

* Add SLM metrics gathering and endpoint
This commit adds the infrastructure to gather metrics about the different SLM actions that a cluster
takes. These actions are stored in `SnapshotLifecycleStats` and perpetuated in cluster state. The
stats stored include the number of snapshots taken, failed, deleted, the number of retention runs,
as well as per-policy counts for snapshots taken, failed, and deleted. It also includes the amount
of time spent deleting snapshots from SLM retention.
This commit also adds an endpoint for retrieving all stats (further commits will expose this in the
SLM get-policy API) that looks like:
```
GET /_slm/stats
{
"retention_runs" : 13,
"retention_failed" : 0,
"retention_timed_out" : 0,
"retention_deletion_time" : "1.4s",
"retention_deletion_time_millis" : 1404,

In many cases, including migration from previous versions of data
shippers (e.g. Beats), it is useful to use ILM to manage historical
indices, which are no longer being written to. This commit adds a guide
which gives an example of how to do that.
In order to make it easier to interpret the output of the ILM Explain
API, this commit adds two request parameters to that API:
- `only_managed`, which causes the response to only contain indices
which have `index.lifecycle.name` set
- `only_errors`, which causes the response to contain only indices in an
ILM error state
"Error state" is defined as either being in the `ERROR` step or having
`index.lifecycle.name` set to a policy that does not exist.
We already have a note that the order of actions is up to ILM for each
phase, this commit puts the actions in the same order as they will be
executed.
Resolves#41729
Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.
Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.
* Expose index age in ILM explain output
This adds the index's age to the ILM explain output, for example:
```
{
"indices" : {
"ilm-000001" : {
"index" : "ilm-000001",
"managed" : true,
"policy" : "full-lifecycle",
"lifecycle_date" : "2019-07-16T19:48:22.294Z",
"lifecycle_date_millis" : 1563306502294,
"age" : "1.34m",
"phase" : "hot",
"phase_time" : "2019-07-16T19:48:22.487Z",
... etc ...
}
}
}
```
This age can be used to tell when ILM will transition the index to the
next phase, based on that phase's `min_age`.

With the commit, we now validate the content of snapshot lifecycle policies when

that the repository exists prior to the lifecycle being added to the cluster
state.

This commit adds the ability to perform a snapshot on demand for a policy. This

And it returns the response with the generated snapshot name:
```json
{
"snapshot_name" : "production-snap-2019.04.09-rfyv3j9qreixkdbnfuw0ug"

```
Note that this does not allow waiting for the snapshot, and the snapshot could
still fail. It *does* record this information into the cluster state similar to
a regularly trigged SLM job.

It is useful to have a record of the actions that Snapshot Lifecycle

time.
This adds the infrastructure to record SLM actions into an index that
can be queried at leisure, along with a lifecycle policy so that this
history does not grow without bound.
Additionally,
SLM automatically setting up an index + lifecycle policy leads to
`index_lifecycle` custom metadata in the cluster state, which some of
the ML tests don't know how to deal with due to setting up custom
`NamedXContentRegistry`s. Watcher would cause the same problem, but it
is already disabled (for the same reason).

We inject an Unfollow action before Shrink because the Shrink action
cannot be safely used on a following index, as it may not be fully
caught up with the leader index before the "original" following index is
deleted and replaced with a non-following Shrunken index. The Unfollow
action will verify that 1) the index is marked as "complete", and 2) all
operations up to this point have been replicated from the leader to the
follower before explicitly disconnecting the follower from the leader.
Injecting an Unfollow action before the Rollover action is done mainly
as a convenience: This allow users to use the same lifecycle policy on
both the leader and follower cluster without having to explictly modify
the policy to unfollow the index, while doing what we expect users to
want in most cases.
* Use ILM for Watcher history deletion
This commit adds an index lifecycle policy for the `.watch-history-*` indices.
This policy is automatically used for all new watch history indices.
This does not yet remove the automatic cleanup that the monitoring plugin does
for the .watch-history indices, and it does not touch the
`xpack.watcher.history.cleaner_service.enabled` setting.
Relates to #32041
This change adds the unfollow action for CCR follower indices.
This is needed for the shrink action in case an index is a follower index.
This will give the follower index the opportunity to fully catch up with
the leader index, pause index following and unfollow the leader index.
After this the shrink action can safely perform the ilm shrink.
The unfollow action needs to be added to the hot phase and acts as
barrier for going to the next phase (warm or delete phases), so that
follower indices are being unfollowed properly before indices are expected
to go in read-only mode. This allows the force merge action to execute
its steps safely.
The unfollow action has three steps:
* `wait-for-indexing-complete` step: waits for the index in question
to get the `index.lifecycle.indexing_complete` setting be set to `true`
* `wait-for-follow-shard-tasks` step: waits for all the shard follow tasks
for the index being handled to report that the leader shard global checkpoint
is equal to the follower shard global checkpoint.
* `pause-follower-index` step: Pauses index following, necessary to unfollow
* `close-follower-index` step: Closes the index, necessary to unfollow
* `unfollow-follower-index` step: Actually unfollows the index using
the CCR Unfollow API
* `open-follower-index` step: Reopens the index now that it is a normal index
* `wait-for-yellow` step: Waits for primary shards to be allocated after
reopening the index to ensure the index is ready for the next step
In the case of the last two steps, if the index in being handled is
a regular index then the steps acts as a no-op.

The "include_type_name" parameter was temporarily introduced in #37285 to facilitate
moving the default parameter setting to "false" in many places in the documentation
code snippets. Most of the places can simply be reverted without causing errors.
In this change I looked for asciidoc files that contained the
"include_type_name=true" addition when creating new indices but didn't look
likey they made use of the "_doc" type for mappings. This is mostly the case
e.g. in the analysis docs where index creating often only contains settings. I
manually corrected the use of types in some places where the docs still used an
explicit type name and not the dummy "_doc" type.
This commit adds a set_priority action to the hot, warm, and cold
phases for an ILM policy. This action sets the `index.priority`
on the managed index to allow different priorities between the
hot, warm, and cold recoveries.
This commit also includes the HLRC and documentation changes.

We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,

for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.
This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.

Previously these were only linked in a circuitous way rather than being
available from the top level API documentation and "Put Lifecycle" API docs.
This makes them slightly easier to find for a user.
There are a handful of examples in the ILM documentation that could result in
rolling over indices more quickly than we might normally recommend,
contributing to over-sharding in cases where the examples are copied without
modification. This change makes some numbers bigger to try and avoid this.
This extra scenario describes the case where an updated
policy increases the current phase's `min_age`. Now, the
docs explicitly describe this scenario as to what is
expected -- old min_age is used.
Closes#35356.
Leaving `index.lifecycle.indexing_complete` in place when removing the
lifecycle policy from an index can cause confusion, as if a new policy
is associated with the policy, rollover will be silently skipped.
Removing that setting when removing the policy from an index makes
associating a new policy with the index more involved, but allows ILM to
fail loudly, rather than silently skipping operations which the user may
assume are being performed.
* Adjust order of checks in WaitForRolloverReadyStep
This allows ILM to error out properly for indices that have a valid
alias, but are not the write index, while still handling
`indexing_complete` on old-style aliases and rollover (that is, those
which only point to a single index at a time with no explicit write
index)
Adds a setting that indicates that an index is done indexing, set by ILM
when the Rollover action completes. This indicates that the Rollover
action should be skipped in any future invocations, as long as the index
is no longer the write index for its alias.
This enables 1) an index with a policy that involves the Rollover action
to have the policy removed and switched to another one without use of
the move-to-step API, and 2) integrations with Beats and CCR.
This commit documents how Index Lifecycle Management
interacts with snapshot/restore, and documents a workaround
for situations in which ILM should not immediately resume
managing an index after it is restored.
This adds an example to drive home the semantics of `min_age` and explain
how actions from one phase must complete before `min_age` is even tested
closes#34020.
RolloverStep previously had a name of "attempt_rollover", which was
inconsistent with all other step names due it its use of an underscore
instead of a dash.
