This has no practical impact on users since frozen indices are the only
throttled indices today. However this has an impact on upcoming features
that would use search throttling.
Filtering out throttled indices made sense a couple years ago, but as
we're now improving support for slow requests with `_async_search` and
exploring ways to reduce storage costs, this feature has most likely
become a trap, that we'd like to not have with upcoming features that
would use search throttling.
Relates #54058
This commit changes the pre_filter_shard_size default from 128 to unspecified.
This allows to apply heuristics based on the request and the target indices when deciding
whether the can match phase should run or not. When unspecified, this pr runs the can match phase
automatically if one of these conditions is met:
* The request targets more than 128 shards.
* The request contains read-only indices.
* The primary sort of the query targets an indexed field.
Users can opt-out from this behavior by setting the `pre_filter_shard_size` to a static value.
Closes#39835
* Adds an example request to the top of the page.
* Relocates several parameters erroneously listed under "Request body"
to the appropriate "Query parameters" section.
* Updates the "Request body" section to better document the NDJSON
structure of msearch requests.
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.
Today `_msearch` doesn't allow modifying the `max_concurrent_shard_requests`
per sub search request. This change adds support for setting this parameter on
all sub-search requests in an `_msearch`.

This commit adds back "id" as the key within a script to specify a
stored script (which with file scripts now gone is no longer ambiguous).
It also adds "source" as a replacement for "code". This is in an attempt
to normalize how scripts are specified across both put stored scripts and script usages, including search template requests. This also deprecates the old inline/stored keys.
This commit removes support for the `application/x-ldjson` Content-Type header as this was only used in the first draft
of the spec and had very little uptake. Additionally, the docs for bulk and msearch have been updated to specifically
call out ndjson and mention that the newline character may be preceded by a carriage return.
Finally, the bulk request handling of the carriage return has been improved to remove this character from the source.
Closes#23025
Add docs to template support for _msearch
Relates to #10885
Relates to #15674
* Reference those docs from the rest api spec for _msearch/template support.
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
This commit brings the benefits of the `count` search type to search requests
that have a `size` of 0:
- a single round-trip to shards (no fetch phase)
- ability to use the query cache
Since `count` now provides no benefits over `query_then_fetch`, it has been
deprecated.
