Moves all remaining (rolling-upgrade and mixed-version) REST tests to use Zen2. To avoid adding
extra configuration, it relies on Zen2 being set as the default discovery type. This required a few
smaller changes in other tests. I've removed AzureMinimumMasterNodesTests which tests Zen1
functionality and dates from a time where host providers were not configurable and each cloud
plugin had its own discovery.type, subclassing the ZenDiscovery class. I've also adapted a few tests
which were unnecessarily adding addTestZenDiscovery = false for the same legacy reasons. Finally,
this also moves the unconfigured-node-name REST test to Zen2, testing the auto-bootstrapping
functionality in development mode when no discovery configuration is provided.
In real deployments it is important that clusters are properly configured to
avoid accidentally forming multiple independent clusters at cluster
bootstrapping time. However we also expect to be able to unpack Elasticsearch
and start up one or more nodes without any up-front configuration, and have
them do their best to find each other and form a cluster after a few seconds.
This change adds a delayed automatic bootstrapping process to nodes that start
up with no relevant settings set to support the desired out-of-the-box
experience without compromising safety in properly-configured deployments.
Changes the default of the `node.name` setting to the hostname of the
machine on which Elasticsearch is running. Previously it was the first 8
characters of the node id. This had the advantage of producing a unique
name even when the node name isn't configured but the disadvantage of
being unrecognizable and not being available until fairly late in the
startup process. Of particular interest is that it isn't available until
after logging is configured. This forces us to use a volatile read
whenever we add the node name to the log.
Using the hostname is available immediately on startup and is generally
recognizable but has the disadvantage of not being unique when run on
machines that don't set their hostname or when multiple elasticsearch
processes are run on the same host. I believe that, taken together, it
is better to default to the hostname.
1. Running multiple copies of Elasticsearch on the same node is a fairly
advanced feature. We do it all the as part of the elasticsearch build
for testing but we make sure to set the node name then.
2. That the node.name defaults to some flavor of "localhost" on an
unconfigured box feels like it isn't going to come up too much in
production. I expect most production deployments to at least set the
hostname.
As a bonus, production deployments need no longer set the node name in
most cases. At least in my experience most folks set it to the hostname
anyway.
Clean up on top of the last fix: if we skip the entire test case then
the test run would fail because we skipped all the tests. This adds a
dummy test case to prevent that. It is a fairly nasty work around I plan
to work on something that makes this not required any more anyway.
If we're running on a platform where we can't install syscall filters
Elasticsearch logs a message before it reads the data directory to get
the node name. Because that log message doesn't have a node name this
test will fail. Since we mostly run the test on OSes where we *can*
install the syscall filters we can fairly safely skip the test on OSes
where we can't install the syscall filters.
Closes#33540
Change the logging infrastructure to handle when the node name isn't
available in `elasticsearch.yml`. In that case the node name is not
available until long after logging is configured. The biggest change is
that the node name logging no longer fixed at pattern build time.
Instead it is read from a `SetOnce` on every print. If it is unset it is
printed as `unknown` so we have something that fits in the pattern.
On normal startup we don't log anything until the node name is available
so we never see the `unknown`s.
