Today when we run out of disk all kinds of crazy things can happen
and nodes are becoming hard to maintain once out of disk is hit.
While we try to move shards away if we hit watermarks this might not
be possible in many situations. Based on the discussion in #24299
this change monitors disk utilization and adds a flood-stage watermark
that causes all indices that are allocated on a node hitting the flood-stage
mark to be switched read-only (with the option to be deleted). This allows users to react on the low disk
situation while subsequent write requests will be rejected. Users can switch
individual indices read-write once the situation is sorted out. There is no
automatic read-write switch once the node has enough space. This requires
user interaction.
The flood-stage watermark is set to `95%` utilization by default.
Closes#24299
Add an Important admonition for upgrading via the command line
using the Windows MSI Installer. This calls out the need to pass
the same command line options for an upgrade as were used for
the initial installation.
* Adds check for negative search request size
This change adds a check to `SearchSourceBuilder` to throw and exception if the size set on it is set to a negative value.

addresses.

Currently QueryParseContext is only a thin wrapper around an XContentParser that
adds little functionality of its own. I provides helpers for long deprecated
field names which can be removed and two helper methods that can be made static
and moved to other classes. This is a first step in helping to remove
QueryParseContext entirely.
Expand `/_cat/nodes` with already present information about available disk space `diskAvail` (alias: `d`, `disk`) by:
* `diskTotal` (alias `dt`): total disk space
* `diskUsed` (alias `du`): used disk space (`diskTotal - diskAvail`)
* `diskUsedPercent` (alias `dup`): used disk space percentage
Note: The available disk space is the number of bytes available to the node's Java virtual machine. The size might be smaller than the real one. That means the used disk space (percentage) is larger.
Closes#21679
We previously tried to maintain (while not formally supporting) 32-bit
support, although we never tested this anywhere in CI. Since we do not
formally support this, and 32-bit usage is very low, we have elected to
no longer maintain 32-bit support. This commit removes any implication
of 32-bit support.

Changed `rescore`s to `rescore` requests as an backtick followed by the s character appears to be interpreted as an apostrophe which then leads to an unbalanced backtick for the next code span in the remainder of the paragraph

This commit removes the default path settings for data and logs. With
this change, we now ship the packages with these settings set in the
elasticsearch.yml configuration file rather than going through the
default.path.data and default.path.logs dance that we went through in
the past.

This commit removes path.conf as a valid setting and replaces it with a
command-line flag for specifying a non-default path for configuration.

#25147 added the translog deletion policy but didn't enable it by default. This PR enables a default retention of 512MB (same maximum size of the current translog) and an age of 12 hours (i.e., after 12 hours all translog files will be deleted). This increases to chance to have an ops based recovery, even if the primary flushed or the replica was offline for a few hours.
In order to see which parts of the translog are committed into lucene the translog stats are extended to include information about uncommitted operations.
Views now include all translog ops and guarantee, as before, that those will not go away. Snapshotting a view allows to filter out generations that are not relevant based on a specific sequence number.

The `document_type` parameter is no longer required to be specified,
because by default from 6.0 only a single type is allowed. (`index.mapping.single_type` defaults to `true`)
* [Analysis] Parse synonyms with the same analysis chain
Synonym Token Filter / Synonym Graph Filter tokenize synonyms with whatever tokenizer and token filters appear before it in the chain.

* Add MSI installation to documentation
Move installation documentation for Windows with the .zip archive into the zip and tar installation documentation, and clearly indicate any differences for installing on macOS/Linux and Windows.
* Separate out installation with .zip on Windows
With #23997 we have introduced a new internal index option that allows to resolve index expressions only against concrete indices while ignoring aliases. Such index option was applied to IndicesAliasesRequest, so that the index part of alias actions would only be resolved against concrete indices.
Same is done in this commit with delete index request. Deleting aliases has always been confusing as some users expect it to only remove the alias from the index (which has its own specific API). Even worse, in case of filtered aliases, deleting an alias may leave users with the expectation that only the documents that match the filter are deleted, which was never the case. To address all this confusion, delete index api works now only against concrete indices. WIldcard expressions will be only resolved against concrete index, as if aliases didn't exist. If one tries to delete against an alias, an IndexNotFoundException will be thrown regardless of whether the alias exists or not, as a concrete index with such a name doesn't exist.
Closes#2318
It adds notes about:
- how preference can help optimize cache usage
- the fact that too many replicas can hurt search performance due to lower
utilization of the filesystem cache
- how index sorting can improve _source compression
- how always putting fields in the same order in documents can improve _source
compression
