Add a `NodeSelector` so that users can filter the nodes that receive
requests based on node attributes.
I believe we'll need this to backport #30523 and we want it anyway.
I also added a bash script to help with rebuilding the sniffer parsing
test documents.
Allows users of the Low Level REST client to specify which hosts a
request should be run on. They implement the `NodeSelector` interface
or reuse a built in selector like `NOT_MASTER_ONLY` to chose which nodes
are valid. Using it looks like:
```
Request request = new Request("POST", "/foo/_search");
RequestOptions options = request.getOptions().toBuilder();
options.setNodeSelector(NodeSelector.NOT_MASTER_ONLY);
request.setOptions(options);
...
```
This introduces a new `Node` object which contains a `HttpHost` and the
metadata about the host. At this point that metadata is just `version`
and `roles` but I plan to add node attributes in a followup. The
canonical way to **get** this metadata is to use the `Sniffer` to pull
the information from the Elasticsearch cluster.
I've marked this as "breaking-java" because it breaks custom
implementations of `HostsSniffer` by renaming the interface to
`NodesSniffer` and by changing it from returning a `List<HttpHost>` to a
`List<Node>`. It *shouldn't* break anyone else though.
Because we expect to find it useful, this also implements `host_selector`
support to `do` statements in the yaml tests. Using it looks a little
like:
```
---
"example test":
- skip:
features: host_selector
- do:
host_selector:
version: " - 7.0.0" # same syntax as skip
apiname:
something: true
```
The `do` section parses the `version` string into a host selector that
uses the same version comparison logic as the `skip` section. When the
`do` section is executed it passed the off to the `RestClient`, using
the `ElasticsearchHostsSniffer` to sniff the required metadata.
The idea is to use this in mixed version tests to target a specific
version of Elasticsearch so we can be sure about the deprecation
logging though we don't currently have any examples that need it. We do,
however, have at least one open pull request that requires something
like this to properly test it.
Closes#21888
Adding headers rather than setting them all at once seems more
user-friendly and we already do it in a similar way for parameters
(see Request#addParameter).
Adds two new methods to `RestClient` that take a `Request` object. These
methods will allows us to add more per-request customizable options
without creating more and more and more overloads of the `performRequest`
and `performRequestAsync` methods. These new methods look like:
```
Response performRequest(Request request)
```
and
```
void performRequestAsync(Request request, ResponseListener responseListener)
```
This change doesn't add any actual features but enables adding things like
per request timeouts and per request node selectors. This change *does*
rework the `HighLevelRestClient` and its tests to use these new `Request`
objects and it does update the docs.
We publish javadocs to artifacts.elastic.co (and snapshots.elastic.co) for a while. This commit adds the link to them to the transport client, low level REST client, sniffer and high level REST client pages.
Closes#23761
It was brought up that our current client artifacts have generic names like 'rest' that may cause conflicts with other artifacts.
This commit renames:
- rest -> elasticsearch-rest-client
- sniffer -> elasticsearch-rest-client-sniffer
- rest-high-level -> elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client
A couple of small changes are also preparing the high level client for its first release.
Closes#20248
Using the infra that we now have in place, we can convert the low-level REST client docs so that they extract code snippets from real Java classes. This way we make sure that all the snippets properly compile. Compared to the high level REST client docs, in this case we don't run the tests themselves, as that would require depending on test-framework which requires java 8 while the low-level REST client is compatible with java 7. I think that compiling snippets is enough for now.
This commit converts the low level client and high level client chapters into two parts, which allows each high level client supported api to be on a separate page and show up in the index on the right.
The REST Client is split into 2 parts:
* Low level
* High level
The High level client has a main common section and the document delete API documentation as a start.
