Items with no specified field now defaults to all the possible fields from the
document source. Previously, we had required 'fields' to be specified either
as a top level parameter or for each item. The default behavior is now similar
to the MLT API.
Closes#7382
The term vector API can now generate term vectors on the fly, if the terms are
not already stored in the index. This commit exploits this new functionality
for the MLT query. Now the terms are directly retrieved using multi-
termvectors API, instead of generating them from the texts retrieved using the
multi-get API.
Closes#7014
The syntax to specify one or more items is the same as for the Multi GET API.
If only one document is specified, the results returned are the same as when
using the More Like This API.

In the Google Groups forum there appears to be some confusion as to what mlt
does. This documentation update should hopefully help demystifying this
feature, and provide some understanding as to how to use its parameters.
Closes#6092
A boost terms factor of 1.0 is not the same as no boosting of terms.
The desired behavior is to deactivate boosting by default. If the user
specifies any value other than 0, then boosting is activated.
Closes#6021
Java Builder apis drop old “len” methods in favour of new “length”
Rest APIs support both old “len: and new “length” forms using new ParseField class to a) provide compiler-checked consistency between Builder and Parser classes and
b) a common means of handling deprecated syntax in the DSL.
Documentation and rest specs only document the new “*length” forms
Closes#4083
