The default similarity was set to `classic` which refers to TFIDF and has not been moved after the upgrade to Lucene 6.
Though moving to BM25 could have some downside for queries that relies on coordination factor (match_query, multi_match_query) ?

ES only sends a non-200 response all shards fail but we should
fail the tests generated by docs if any of them fail.
Depending on the outcome of #18978 this might be a temporary
workaround.
The MMapDirectory has a switch that allows the content of files to be loaded
into the filesystem cache upon opening. This commit exposes it with the new
`index.store.pre_load` setting.
This commit removes the search preference _only_node as the same
functionality can be obtained by using the search preference
_only_nodes. This commit also adds a test that ensures that _only_nodes
will continue to support specifying node IDs.

This commit adds a note to the breaking changes docs that since commit
da74323141, thread pool settings are no
longer cluster-level settings and thus not dynamically updatable.
Painless: Add support for //m
Painless: Add support for //s
Painless: Add support for //i
Painless: Add support for //u
Painless: Add support for //U
Painless: Add support for //l
This means "literal" and is exposed for completeness sake with
the java api.
Painless: Add support for //c
c enables Java's CANON_EQ (canonical equivalence) flag which makes
unicode characters that are canonically equal match. Java's javadoc
gives "a\u030A" being equal to "\u00E5". That is that the "a" code
point followed by the "combining ring above" code point is equal to
the "a with combining ring above" code point.
Update docs and add multi-flag test
Whitelist most of the Pattern class.
Adds support for the find operator (=~) and the match operator (==~)
to painless's regexes. Also whitelists most of the Matcher class and
documents regex support in painless.
The find operator (=~) returns a boolean that is the result of building
a matcher on the lhs with the Pattern on the RHS and calling `find` on
it. Use it like this:
```
if (ctx._source.last =~ /b/)
```
The match operator (==~) returns boolean like find but instead of calling
`find` on the Matcher it calls `matches`.
```
if (ctx._source.last ==~ /[^aeiou].*[aeiou]/)
```
Finally, if you want the actual matcher you do:
```
Matcher m = /[aeiou]/.matcher(ctx._source.last)
```
They have been implemented in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7289.
Ranges are implemented so that the accuracy loss only occurs at index time,
which means that if you are searching for values between A and B, the query will
match exactly all documents whose value rounded to the closest half-float point
is between A and B.
Thread pool settings are no longer dynamically updatable since
da74323141. This commit removes a leftover
note from the thread pool module docs that incorrectly states that
thread pool settings are dynamically updatable.
The search preference _prefer_node allows specifying a single node to
prefer when routing a request. This functionality can be enhanced by
permitting multiple nodes to be preferred. This commit replaces the
search preference _prefer_node with the search preference _prefer_nodes
which supplants the former by specifying a single node and otherwise
adds functionality.

This adds a get task API that supports GET /_tasks/${taskId} and
removes that responsibility from the list tasks API. The get task
API supports wait_for_complation just as the list tasks API does
but doesn't support any of the list task API's filters. In exchange,
it supports falling back to the .results index when the task isn't
running any more. Like any good GET API it 404s when it doesn't
find the task.
Then we change reindex, update-by-query, and delete-by-query to
persist the task result when wait_for_completion=false. The leads
to the neat behavior that, once you start a reindex with
wait_for_completion=false, you can fetch the result of the task by
using the get task API and see the result when it has finished.
Also rename the .results index to .tasks.
By default the number of searches msearch executes is capped by the number of
nodes multiplied with the default size of the search threadpool. This default can be
overwritten by using the newly added `max_concurrent_searches` parameter.
Before the msearch api would concurrently execute all searches concurrently. If many large
msearch requests would be executed this could lead to some searches being rejected
while other searches in the msearch request would succeed.
The goal of this change is to avoid this exhausting of the search TP.
Closes#17926
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
