Today we have a nodeVersion property on the NodeInfo class that we use
to carry around information about a standalone node that we will start
during tests. This property is a String which we usually end up parsing
to a Version anyway to do various checks on it. This can end up
happening a lot during configuration so it would be more efficient and
safer to have this already be strongly-typed as a Version and parsed
from a String only once for each instance of NodeInfo. Therefore, this
commit makes NodeInfo#nodeVersion strongly-typed as a Version.
There are some scenarios where the license on a source file is one that
is compatible with our projects yet we do not want to add the license to
the list of approved license headers (to keep the number of files with
that compatible license contained). This commit adds the ability to
exclude a file from the license check.
Today we have JAVA_HOME for the compiler Java home and RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME
for the test Java home. However, when we compile BWC nodes and run them,
neither of these Java homes might be the version that was suitable for
that BWC node (e.g., 5.6 requires JDK 8 to compile and to run). This
commit adds support for the environment variables JAVA\d+_HOME and uses
the appropriate Java home based on the version of the node being
started. We even do this for reindex-from-old which requires JDK 7 for
these very old nodes. Note that these environment variables are not
required if not running BWC tests, and they are strictly required if
running BWC tests.
This commit introduces built in support for adding files to the
keystore when configuring the integration test cluster for a project.
In order to use this support, simply add `keystoreFile` followed by the
secure setting name and the path to the source file inside the
integTestCluster closure for a project. The built in support will
handle the creation of the keystore and the addition of the file to the
keystore.
This change moves the -ea and -esa options that enable assertions for
test nodes before the cluster-specific JVM arguments on the Java command
line. This opens up the possibility for the cluster-specific JVM
arguments to disable assertions for one particular package or class,
which can be useful in BWC testing where incorrect assertions cannot be
removed from released versions of the product.
Today we have a silent batch mode in the install plugin command when
standard input is closed or there is no tty. It appears that
historically this was useful when running tests where we want to accept
plugin permissions without having to acknowledge them. Now that we have
an explicit batch mode flag, this use-case is removed. The motivation
for removing this now is that there is another place where silent batch
mode arises and that is when a user attempts to install a plugin inside
a Docker container without keeping standard input open and attaching a
tty. In this case, the install plugin command will treat the situation
as a silent batch mode and therefore the user will never have the chance
to acknowledge the additional permissions required by a plugin. This
commit removes this silent batch mode in favor of using the --batch flag
when running tests and requiring the user to take explicit action to
acknowledge the additional permissions (either by leaving standard input
open and attaching a tty, or by passing the --batch flags themselves).
Note that with this change the user will now see a null pointer
exception when they try to install a plugin in a Docker container
without keeping standard input open and attaching a tty. This will be
addressed in an immediate follow-up, but because the implications of
that change are larger, they should be handled separately from this one.

* Begin moving XContent to a separate lib/artifact
This commit moves a large portion of the XContent code from the `server` project
to the `libs/xcontent` project. For the pieces that have been moved, some
helpers have been duplicated to allow them to be decoupled from ES helper
classes. In addition, `Booleans` and `CheckedFunction` have been moved to the
`elasticsearch-core` project.
This decoupling is a move so that we can eventually make things like the
high-level REST client not rely on the entire ES jar, only the parts it needs.
There are some pieces that are still not decoupled, in particular some of the
XContent tests still remain in the server project, this is because they test a
large portion of the pluggable xcontent pieces through
`XContentElasticsearchException`. They may be decoupled in future work.
Additionally, there may be more piecese that we want to move to the xcontent lib
in the future that are not part of this PR, this is a starting point.

The sysprop repos.mavenLocal may be used to add the local .m2 maven
repository for testing snapshots of locally build dependencies.
Unfortunately this has to be checked in two different places (they cannot
be shared, due to buildSrc being built essentially as a separate
project), and the casing of the string sysprop lookups did not align.
This commit fixes BuildPlugin's checking of repos.mavenLocal to use the
correct casing (camelCase, to match the gradle dsl element).
When a module or plugin register that it has a client JAR, we copy
artifacts like the Javadoc and sources JARs as the JARs for the client
as well (with -client added to the name). I previously had to disable
the Javadoc task on JDK 10 due to a bug in bin/javadoc. After JDK 10
went GA without a fix for this bug, I added workaround to fix the
Javadoc task on JDK 10. However, I made a mistake reverting the
previously skipped Javadocs tasks and missed that one that copies the
Javadoc JAR for client JARs. This commit fixes that issue.
The vagrant test plugin adds tasks for the groovy packaging tests,
which run after the bats packaging test tasks.Rename the 'bats'
configuration to 'packaging' and remove the option to inherit
archives from this configuration.
This commit reenables the Javadoc tasks on JDK 10. To reenable these
tasks, we have to workaround a bug in JDK 10 which trips on some deeply
nested anonymous classes that we have in the codebase (and are fine
as-is, this is not a problem with this code). The workaround is to
remove the compiled classes from the classpath. This has been reported
upstream and the workaround was suggested there (see the code comment).
We need to configure the Java 9 checkstyle task to depend on the
checkstyle configuration task or the task could run before the
checkstyle conf has been copied leading to runtime failures. We have to
do this after projects have been evaluated because the configuration of
these tasks can occur before the Java 9 source set has been added to a
project.
This commit fixes the directory name bundled plugins are added under
within a meta plugin to be the configured name of the bundled plugin,
instead of the project name.
This commit creates the copyRestSpec task for rest integ tests
immediately on creation of the RestIntegTestTask instead of lazily in
afterEvaluate. This allows other projects to add additional rest specs
to be copied, instead of needing to create another parallel copy task.
Adds support for triple quoted strings to the documentation test
generator. Kibana's CONSOLE tool has supported them for a year but we
were unable to use them in Elasticsearch's docs because the process that
converts example snippets into tests couldn't handle this. This change
adds code to convert them into standard JSON so we can pass them to
Elasticsearch.
This commit enhances the error messages reported when JAVA_HOME and
RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME are not correctly set to point towards the minimum
compiler and minimum runtime JDKs that are expected by the builds. The
previous error message would say:
Java 1.9 or above is required to build Elasticsearch
which is confusing if the user does have a JDK 9 installation and is
even the version that they have on their path yet they have JAVA_HOME
pointing to another JDK installation. The error message reported after
this change is:
the environment variable JAVA_HOME must be set to a JDK installation directory for Java 1.9 but is [/usr/java/jdk-8] corresponding to [1.8]
As we have factored Elasticsearch into smaller libraries, we have ended
up in a situation that some of the dependencies of Elasticsearch are not
available to code that depends on these smaller libraries but not server
Elasticsearch. This is a good thing, this was one of the goals of
separating Elasticsearch into smaller libraries, to shed some of the
dependencies from other components of the system. However, this now
means that simple utility methods from Lucene that we rely on are no
longer available everywhere. This commit copies IOUtils (with some small
formatting changes for our codebase) into the fold so that other
components of the system can rely on these methods where they no longer
depend on Lucene.
This commit removes the ability to specify that a plugin requires the
keystore and instead creates the keystore on package installation or
when Elasticsearch is started for the first time. The reason that we opt
to create the keystore on package installation is to ensure that the
keystore has the correct permissions (the package installation scripts
run as root as opposed to Elasticsearch running as the elasticsearch
user) and to enable removing the keystore on package removal if the
keystore is not modified.
Log4j2 provides a wide range of logging methods. Our code typically only uses a subset of them. In particular, uses of the methods trace|debug|info|warn|error|fatal(Object) or trace|debug|info|warn|error|fatal(Object, Throwable) have all been wrong, leading to not properly logging the provided message. To prevent these issues in the future, the corresponding Logger methods have been blacklisted.
This allows us to remove another dependency in the decoupling of the XContent
code. Rather than move this class over or decouple it, it can simply be removed.

Running any randomized testing task within Elasticsearch currently fails
if a project has zero tests. This was supposed to be overrideable, but
it was always set to 'fail', and the system property to override was
passed down to the test runner, but never read there. This commit
changes the value of the ifNoTests setting to randomized runner to be
read from system properties and continue to default to 'fail'.
This commit fixes the test progress logging to not produce an NPE when
there are no tests run. The onQuit method is always called, but onStart
would not be called if no tests match the test patterns.
It is only a comment, but can confuse those reading the code
Used 6.0 as an arbitrary elasticsearch.version value since it is version that required Java 8
This commit specifies that the working directory of the destroy task for
destroying test VMs is the root of the build. This is necessary in case
the build was run from a sub-directory, the Vagrant command would then
not be able to locate the Vagrantfile for the VMs in question.
Today we do not destroy Vagrant boxes before tests. This is because
constantly reprovisioning these boxes is time-consuming. Yet, not
destroying these boxes can lead to state being left around that impacts
subsequent test runs. To address this, we now always destroy these boxes
before tests and provide a flag to set if this is not desired while
iterating locally.
Applying the rest test gradle plugin already uses the zip distribution
by default, so specifying it explicitly is not necessary. These are
leftovers from before zip was the default for rest tests.
With this commit we reduce the maximum amount of memory that the javac
compiler can use from 1g to 512mb. While the build would succeed even
with 256mb, it influences compile time slightly negatively.
We have measured that the runtime overhead stays tolerable by running
the following command five times under repeatable conditions (i.e. we
execute `./gradlew clean`, then drop the caches and TRIM the disk):
```
./gradlew compileGroovy compileJava compileJava9Java\
compileTestGroovy compileTestJava compileGroovy
```
The results in seconds (as reported by Gradle) are:
* 1gb: avg: 253s, min: 252s, max: 256s
* 512mb: avg: 257s, min: 256s, max: 259s
This commit moves the distribution specific tasks into the respective
archives and packages builds. The collocation of common and distribution
specific tasks make it much easier to reason about what is expected in a
particular distribution.
This commit adds intermediate gradle projects for archive based
distributions (zip, tar) and package based distributions (rpm, deb). The
grouping allows the common distribution build file to be considerably
shorter and clearly separated from the common zip/tar and rpm/deb
configuration.
This directory was removed from plugins in #28589, but docs still
referenced it. This commit cleans up the plugin author docs to no longer
refer to it.
We need to investigate why startup is taking so long in CI for
standalone tests. This commit adds logging for bootstrap and network
code that is executed before the node starts initializing in case this
is the source of the trouble.
Relates #28659
By default we wait for 30 seconds for nodes to start. Looking at CI,
even for passing builds, the startup time is frequently over 20 seconds
(grep for `#wait (Thread[Task worker for ':',5,main]) completed` in any
console log), which is close to the threshold. This commit sets a
default timeout of 120 seconds instead, so that REST tests are less
likely to hit a timeout.
This commit removes the extra layer of all plugin files existing under
"elasticsearch" within plugin zips. This simplifies building plugin zips
and removes the need for special logic of modules vs plugins.
The build.snapshot was mistakenly passed in to every snapshot version,
so when release tests were run, these versions were mistaken as released
entities and could not be found in maven, because they do not
exist. This fix removes that bug in logic, and always makes them proper
snapshots. This has a benefit of cleaning up the VersionUtilsTests
because they no longer rely on different sets of versions to check
against, which was also a bug.
We suspect a build failure might be due to a startup timeout, but there is
insufficient information in the logs. This change enhances the information
available so we will be better-informed next time.
Generalizing BWC building so that there is less code to modify for a release. This ensures we do not
need to think about what major or minor version is in the gradle code. It follows the general rules of the
elastic release structure. For more information on the rules, see the VersionCollection's javadoc.
This also removes the additional bwc snapshots that will never be released, such as 6.0.2, which were
being built and tested against every time we ran bwc tests.
Additionally, it creates 4 new projects that correspond to the different types of snapshots that may exist
for a given version. Its possible to now run those individual tasks to work out bwc logic whereas
previously it was impossible and the entire suite of bwc tests had to be run to work out any logic
changes in the build tools' bwc project. Please note that if the project does not make sense for the
version that is current, that an error will be thrown from that individual project if an attempt is made to
run it.
This should allow for automating the version bumps as well, since it removes all the hardcoded version
logic from the configs.
When elasticsearch was originally moved to gradle, the "provided" equivalent in maven had to be done through a plugin. Since then, gradle added the "compileOnly" configuration. This commit removes the provided plugin and replaces all uses with compileOnly.
Tests use the (internal) gradle progress logger. Since aroudn gradle
4.0, loggers can have children loggers which each get their own line of
updating output. This commit improves the test status output to give
each jvm its own status line, as well as lines for suite and test
counts. It also fixes an issue where the progress logger was not marked
as completed, which caused its last output to never be cleared.
Gradle 4.5 now hides immutable task dependencies. We previously copied
the existing dependencies from the builtin test task to the
randomizedtesting task. This commit adds testClasses as an extra
dependency of the randomizedtesting task, to ensure the classes are
built.
ava.time has the functionality needed to deal with timezones with varying
offsets correctly, but it also has a bunch of methods that silently let you
forget about the hard cases, which raises the risk that we'll quietly do the
wrong thing at some point in the future.
This change adds the trappy methods to the list of forbidden methods to try and
help stop this from happening.
It also fixes the only use of these methods in the codebase so far:
IngestDocument#deepCopy() used ZonedDateTime.of() which may alter the offset of
the given time in cases where the offset is ambiguous.
This commit conditionally adds the --illegal-access=warn flag when tests
are run with java 9. Currently, testing on java 9 triggers a warning
about illegal access from mockito. While that should be fixed (by
updating to a newer mockito base for securemock), the stderr warning we
get is only the first one. Thankfully that is the only one, but this
change will enable finding all such illegal accesses in the future.
This commit allows for configuration of the amount of time we wait for a node to startup. This is needed as some QA tests with plugins and tribe timeout when starting the tribe
node. Even regular node startup time with plugins is starting to approach the limit of 30 seconds.
Additionally, this commit provides better feedback when a wait has failed. The code checks to
ensure all expected files exist for each node; if they do not then we consider the wait task as
having failed. Prior to this change, when there was one or more missing file the build would
continue and attempt to execute the wait condition that typically makes an HTTP request to the
cluster. The output of this type of failure does include which files exist and which do not but
this change makes it clearer that the actual HTTP call did not time out, but the failure was before
the call was even made.
Prints the warning level logs from the integration testing cluster if
there is a failure. We'd attempted to print those logs but I believe our
regex was missing a space.
This commit adds pom generation to meta plugins by using the same hacks
that PluginBuildPlugin already uses to get around "pom" type poms (ie
zip files).
Sometimes modules/plugins depend on locally built elasticsearch jars.
This means not only that the jar is constantly changing (so no need for
a sha check), but also that the license falls under the Elasticsearch
license, and there is no need to keep another copy. This commit updates
the dependencies checked by dependencyLicenses to exclude those that are
built by elasticsearch.
Integ test clusters should use the plugin method of ClusterConfiguration
to install plugins. Without it, meta plugins install based on the name
of the project directory, rather than the actual configured plugin name.
This commit fixes that, and also corrects the distribution used to be
the default integ-test-zip, to match that of PluginBuildPlugin. This
ensures plugins are tested in isolation by default.
We use the --release flag which is only available starting in JDK
9. Since Gradle could be running on JDK 8 without forking the compiler,
compilation will occur with the Java home of Gradle. This commit adds a
fork flag to the compiler Java home so that we use the right compiler.

This commit fixes the copying of files from bundled plugin zips.
Previously all files within each zip would be flattened under the
bundled plugin name, and the original directories would exist at the top
level of the plugin.
The build-tools project (ie buildSrc) has groovy code. The -source
option was set to java 8, but this is not correct on java 9, and
actually causes a warning about not setting boot classpath. This commit
adds the --release option to groovy compilation, just like is done for
java compilation.
This commit adds a gradle plugin to ease development of meta plugins.
Applying the plugin will generated the meta plugin properties based on
the es_meta_plugin configuration object, which includes name and
description. The plugins to include within the meta plugin are
configured through the `plugins` list. An integ test task is also
automatically added.
This commit introduces the ability for the core Elasticsearch JAR to be
a multi-release JAR containing code that is compiled for JDK 8 and code
that is compiled for JDK 9. At runtime, a JDK 8 JVM will ignore the JDK
9 compiled classfiles, and a JDK 9 JVM will use the JDK 9 compiled
classfiles instead of the JDK 8 compiled classfiles. With this work, we
utilize the new JDK 9 API for obtaining the PID of the running JVM,
instead of relying on a hack.
For now, we want to keep IDEs on JDK 8 so when the build is in an IDE we
ignore the JDK 9 source set (as otherwise the IDE would give compilation
errors). However, with this change, running Gradle from the command-line
now requires JAVA_HOME and JAVA_9_HOME to be set. This will require
follow-up work in our CI infrastructure and our release builds to
accommodate this change.
Relates #28051
This commit modifies the build to require JDK 9 for
compilation. Henceforth, we will compile with a JDK 9 compiler targeting
JDK 8 as the class file format. Optionally, RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME can be set
as the runtime JDK used for running tests. To enable this change, we
separate the meaning of the compiler Java home versus the runtime Java
home. If the runtime Java home is not set (via RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME) then
we fallback to using JAVA_HOME as the runtime Java home. This enables:
- developers only have to set one Java home (JAVA_HOME)
- developers can set an optional Java home (RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME) to test
on the minimum supported runtime
- we can test compiling with JDK 9 running on JDK 8 and compiling with
JDK 9 running on JDK 9 in CI
Currently the code which disable transitive dependencies assumes all
deps are a "module dependency" in gradle. But a jar file dep is not.
This commit relaxes the closure signature to allow any dependency and
only enforce the transitive disabling for module dependencies.
This commit adds the ability to package multiple plugins in a single zip.
The zip file for a meta plugin must contains the following structure:
|____elasticsearch/
| |____ <plugin1> <-- The plugin files for plugin1 (the content of the elastisearch directory)
| |____ <plugin2> <-- The plugin files for plugin2
| |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties <-- example contents below
The meta plugin properties descriptor is mandatory and must contain the following properties:
description: simple summary of the meta plugin.
name: the meta plugin name
The installation process installs each plugin in a sub-folder inside the meta plugin directory.
The example above would create the following structure in the plugins directory:
|_____ plugins
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
If the sub plugins contain a config or a bin directory, they are copied in a sub folder inside the meta plugin config/bin directory.
|_____ config
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
|_____ bin
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
The sub-plugins are loaded at startup like normal plugins with the same restrictions; they have a separate class loader and a sub-plugin
cannot have the same name than another plugin (or a sub-plugin inside another meta plugin).
It is also not possible to remove a sub-plugin inside a meta plugin, only full removal of the meta plugin is allowed.

When finding the commit hash for the build to place in the JAR manifest
(which is used to identity the build), the scm-info plugin assumes that
GIT_COMMIT is the commit for this build. That assumption is wrong, this
build could be a sub-build of another build that GIT_COMMIT belongs
to. If GIT_COMMIT is set, we ignore the commit hash calculated by
scm-info and calculate the hash ourselves.

This commit adds the infrastructure to plugin building and loading to
allow one plugin to extend another. That is, one plugin may extend
another by the "parent" plugin allowing itself to be extended through
java SPI. When all plugins extending a plugin are finished loading, the
"parent" plugin has a callback (through the ExtensiblePlugin interface)
allowing it to reload SPI.
This commit also adds an example plugin which uses as-yet implemented
extensibility (adding to the painless whitelist).

We disabled the Javadoc task on JDK 10 due to an apparent bug in Javadoc
generation on JDK 10. However, the client JAR task sets up its own
Javadoc task for client JARs (because it merely copies the non-client

the non-client JAR will not exist.

JDK 10 has gone fully-modular. This means that:

- when targeting JDK 10 with a JDK 10 compiler, we have to use

Today we only target JDK 8 (our minimum compatibility version) so we
need to change the compiler flags conditional on using a JDK 10
compiler. This commit does that.

When running the release tests, we set build.snapshot to false and this
causes all version numbers to not have "-SNAPSHOT". This is true even
for the tips of the branches (e.g., currently 5.6.6 on the 5.6
branch). Yet, if we do not set snapshot to false, then we would still be
trying to find artifacts with "-SNAPSHOT" appended which would not have
been build since build.snapshot is false. To fix this, we have to push
build.snapshot into the version logic.

We have tests that manually unpackage the RPM and Debian package
distributions and start a cluster manually (not from the service) and
run a basic suite of integration tests against them. This is problematic
because it is not how the packages are intended to be used (instead,
they are intended to be installed using the package installation tools,
and started as services) and so violates assumptions that we make about
directory paths. This commit removes these integration tests, instead
relying on the packaging tests to ensure the packages are not
broken. Additionally, we add a sanity check that the package
distributions can be unpackaged. Finally, with this change we can remove
some leniency from elasticsearch-env about checking for the existence of
the environment file which the leniency was there solely for these
integration tests.

The problem here is that splitting was using a method that intentionally
trims whitespace (the method is really meant to be used for splitting
parameters where whitespace should be trimmed like list
settings). However, for routing values whitespace should not be trimmed
because we allow routing with leading and trailing spaces. This commit
switches the parsing of these routing values to a method that does not
trim whitespace.

This new snapshot mostly brings a change to TopFieldCollector which can now
early terminate collection when trackTotalHits is `false`.
As a follow-up, we should replace our usage of
`EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector` with this new option.
Gradle 4.2 introduced a feature for safer handling of stale output files. Unfortunately, due to the way some of our tasks are written, this broke execution of our REST tests tasks. The reason for this is that the extract task (which extracts the ES distribution) would clean its output directory, and thereby also remove the empty cwd subdirectory which was created by the clean task. The reason why Gradle would remove the directory is that the earlier running clean task would programmatically create the empty cwd directory, but not make Gradle aware of this fact, which would result in Gradle believing that it could just safely clean the directory.
This commit explicitly defines a task to create the cwd subdirectory, and marks the directory as output of the task, so that the subsequent extract task won't eagerly clean it. It thereby restores full compatibility of the build with Gradle 4.2 and above.
This commit also removes the @Input annotation on the waitCondition closure of AntFixture, which conflicted with the extended input/output validation of Gradle 4.3.
The main highlight of this new snapshot is that it introduces the opportunity
for queries to opt out of caching. In case a query opts out of caching, not only
will it never be cached, but also no compound query that wraps it will be
cached.
The build currently does not work with Gradle 4.3.1 as the Gradle team stopped publishing the gradle-logging dependency to jcenter, starting with 4.3.1 (not sure why). There are two options:
- Add the repository managed by Gradle team (https://repo.gradle.org/gradle/libs-releases-local) to our build
- Use an older version (4.3) of the dependency when running with Gradle 4.3.1.
Not to depend on another external repo, I've chosen solution 2. Note that this solution could break on future versions, but as this is a compileOnly dependency, and the interface we use has been super stable since forever, I don't envision this to be an issue (and easily detected by a breaking build).
