This change adds an index setting to define how the documents should be sorted inside each Segment.
It allows any numeric, date, boolean or keyword field inside a mapping to be used to sort the index on disk.
It is not allowed to use a `nested` fields inside an index that defines an index sorting since `nested` fields relies on the original sort of the index.
This change does not add early termination capabilities in the search layer. This will be added in a follow up.

We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.
Some notes about the change:
- it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
- it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
- two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
In 5.0, the search slow log switched to the multi-line format with no option to get back to the origin single-line format that was used prior to 5.0 by default. This commit removes the reformat option from the search slow log and returns the search slow log back to the single-line format.
Closes#21711
* Add docs with up to date instructions on updating default similarity
The default similarity can no longer be set in the configuration file
(you will get an error on startup). Update the docs with the method
that works.
* Add instructions for changing similarity on index creation
This commit fixes two issues with the slow log docs:
- clarifies that these settings are per index
- updates index slow log configuration for Log4j 2
Relates #20976
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) ?

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.
The syntax highlighter only supports [source,js].
Also adds a check to the rest test generator that runs during
the build that'll fail the build if it sees `[source,json]`.
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
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".
This commit limits the `index.translog.sync_interval` to a value not less than `100ms` and
removes the support for fsync on every operation which used to be enabled if `index.translog.sync_interval` was set to `0s`
Now this pr also only schedules an async fsync if the durability is set to `async`. By default not async task is scheduled.
Closes#16152
Today we have two variants of translogs for indexing. We only recommend the buffered
one which also has a 20% advantage in indexing speed. This commit removes the option and defaults
to the buffered case. It also hard-wires the translog buffer to 8kb instead of 64kb. We used to
adjust that buffer based on if the shard is active or not, this code has also been removed and
instead we just keep an 8kb buffer arround.
This commit removes `index.translog.flush_threshold_ops` and `index.translog.disable_flush`
in favor of `index.translog.flush_threshold_size`. The number of operations is meaningless by itself and
can easily be turned into a size value with knowledge of the data. Disabling the flush is only useful in
tests and we can set the size value to a really high value. If users really need to do this they can
also apply a very high value like `1PB`.
- moves calculation of the delay to a single place (ReplicaShardAllocator)
- reduces coupling between GatewayAllocator and RoutingService
- in master failover situations, elapsed delay time is forgotten
Closes#14808
This adds the `cluster.routing.allocation.total_shards_per_node`
setting, which limits the total number of shards across all indices on
each node. It defaults to -1 and can be dynamically configured.
Resolves#14456
This commit moves the size and ops based flush into a synchronous API into
IndexShard and removes the time-based flush alltogether since it' basically
covered by the inactive async flush API we have today. The functionality doesn't
need to be covered by scheduled task and async APIs while we can actually make all
the decisions in a sync manner which is way easier to control and to test.
Closes#13707
Allocation filtering by IP only works today using the node host address. But in some cases, you might want to filter using the publish address which could be different.
Instead of logging the entire `_source` in the indexing slowlog we log by
default just the first 1000 characters - this is controlled by the
`index.indexing.slowlog.source` settings and can be set to `true` to log the
whole `_source`, `false` to log none of it, and a number to log at most that
many characters.
Closes#4485
Change the default delayed allocation timeout from 0 (no delayed allocation) to 1m. The value came from a test of having a node with 50 shards being indexed into (so beefy translog requiring flush on shutdown), then shutting it down and starting it back up and waiting for it to join the cluster. This took, on a slow machine, about 30s.
The value is conservatively low and does not try to address a virtual machine / OS restart for now, in order to not have the affect of node going away and users being concerned that shards are not being allocated to the rest of the cluster as a result of that. The setting can always be changed in order to increase the delayed allocation if needed.
