* Smarter copying of the rest specs and tests (#52114)
This PR addresses the unnecessary copying of the rest specs and allows
for better semantics for which specs and tests are copied. By default
the rest specs will get copied if the project applies
`elasticsearch.standalone-rest-test` or `esplugin` and the project
has rest tests or you configure the custom extension `restResources`.
This PR also removes the need for dozens of places where the x-pack
specs were copied by supporting copying of the x-pack rest specs too.
The plugin/task introduced here can also copy the rest tests to the
local project through a similar configuration.
The new plugin/task allows a user to minimize the surface area of
which rest specs are copied. Per project can be configured to include
only a subset of the specs (or tests). Configuring a project to only
copy the specs when actually needed should help with build cache hit
rates since we can better define what is actually in use.
However, project level optimizations for build cache hit rates are
not included with this PR.
Also, with this PR you can no longer use the includePackaged flag on
integTest task.
The following items are included in this PR:
* new plugin: `elasticsearch.rest-resources`
* new tasks: CopyRestApiTask and CopyRestTestsTask - performs the copy
* new extension 'restResources'
```
restResources {
restApi {
includeCore 'foo' , 'bar' //will include the core specs that start with foo and bar
includeXpack 'baz' //will include x-pack specs that start with baz
}
restTests {
includeCore 'foo', 'bar' //will include the core tests that start with foo and bar
includeXpack 'baz' //will include the x-pack tests that start with baz
}
}
```
Backport of #48849. Update `.editorconfig` to make the Java settings the
default for all files, and then apply a 2-space indent to all `*.gradle`
files. Then reformat all the files.
Test clusters currently has its own set of logic for dealing with
finding different versions of Elasticsearch, downloading them, and
extracting them. This commit converts testclusters to use the
DistributionDownloadPlugin.
This commit removes xpack dependencies of many xpack qa modules.
(for some qa modules this will require some more work)
The reason behind this change is that qa rest modules should not depend
on the x-pack plugins, because the plugins are an implementation detail and
the tests should only know about the rest interface and qa cluster that is
being tested.
Also some qa modules rely on xpack plugins and hlrc (which is a valid
dependency for rest qa tests) creates a cyclic dependency and this is
something that we should avoid. Also Eclipse can't handle gradle cyclic
dependencies (see #41064).
* don't copy xpack-core's plugin property into the test resource of qa
modules. Otherwise installing security manager fails, because it tries
to find the XPackPlugin class.
This commit does the following:
- renames index-lifecycle plugin to ilm
- modifies the endpoints to ilm instead of index_lifecycle
- drops _xpack from the endpoints
- drops a few duplicate endpoints
The notion of "quality" is an overloaded term in the search ranking evaluation
context. Its usually used to decribe certain levels of "good" vs. "bad" of a
seach result with respect to the users information need. We currently report the
result of the ranking evaluation as `quality_level` which is a bit missleading.
This changes the response parameter name to `metric_score` which fits better.
Resolving wildcards in aliases expression is challenging as we may end
up with no aliases to replace the original expression with, but if we
replace with an empty array that means _all which is quite the opposite.
Now that we support and serialize the original requested aliases,
whenever aliases are replaced we will be able to know what was
initially requested. `MetaData#findAliases` can then be updated to not
return anything in case it gets empty aliases, but the original aliases
were not empty. That means that empty aliases are interpreted as _all
only if they were originally requested that way.

Some proxies require all requests to have paths starting with / since
there are no relative paths at the HTTP connection level. Elasticsearch
assumes paths are absolute. In order to run rest tests against a cluster
behind such a proxy, set the system property
tests.rest.client_path_prefix to /.
This creates a YAML test "features" that indices if the cluster being
tested has xpack installed (`xpack`) or if it does *not* have xpack
installed (`no_xpack`). It uses those features to centralize skipping
a few tests that fail if xpack is installed.
The plan is to use this in a followup to skip docs tests that require
xpack when xpack is not installed. We *plan* to use the declaration
of required license level on the docs page to generate the required
`skip`.
Closes#30933.
We currently have a specific REST action to retrieve all aliaes, which
uses internally the get index API. This doesn't seem to be required
anymore though as the existing RestGetAliaesAction could as well take
the requests with no indices and aliases specified.
This commit removes the RestGetAllAliasesAction in favour of using
RestGetAliasesAction also for requests that don't specify indices nor
aliases. Similar to #31129.
The core REST tests with security currently use a hardcoded username and
password. This is not amenable to running these tests in scenarios where
the user controls the creation of the cluster and owns the credentials
for this cluster. This commit enables running the core REST tests with
security with a custom username and password.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
