* New wildcard field optimised for wildcard queries (#49993)
Indexes values using size 3 ngrams and also stores the full original as a binary doc value.
Wildcard queries operate by using a cheap approximation query on the ngram field followed up by a more expensive verification query using an automaton on the binary doc values. Also supports aggregations and sorting.
Per the [Asciidoctor docs][0], Asciidoctor replaces the following
syntax with double arrows in the rendered HTML:
* => renders as ⇒
* <= renders as ⇐
This escapes several unintended replacements, such as in the Painless
docs.
Where appropriate, it also replaces some double arrow instances with
single arrows for consistency.

This field is a specialization of the `keyword` field for the case when all
documents have the same value. It typically performs more efficiently than
keywords at query time by figuring out whether all or none of the documents
match at rewrite time, like `term` queries on `_index`.
The name is up for discussion. I liked including `keyword` in it, so that we
still have room for a `singleton_numeric` in the future. However I'm unsure
whether to call it `singleton`, `constant` or something else, any opinions?
For this field there is a choice between
1. accepting values in `_source` when they are equal to the value configured
in mappings, but rejecting mapping updates
2. rejecting values in `_source` but then allowing updates to the value that
is configured in the mapping
This commit implements option 1, so that it is possible to reindex from/to an
index that has the field mapped as a keyword with no changes to the source.
Backport of #49713
Adds a warning admonition stating that the `index_options` mapping
parameter is intended only for `text` fields.
Removes an outdated statement regarding default values for numeric
and other datatypes.
Backport of #51233 to the seven dot x branch.
Tries to load a `Mapper` instance for the mapping snippet of a dynamic template.
This should catch things like using an analyzer that is undefined or mapping attributes that are unused.
This is best effort:
* If `{{name}}` placeholder is used in the mapping snippet then validation is skipped.
* If `match_mapping_type` is not specified then validation is performed for all mapping types.
If parsing succeeds with a single mapping type then this the dynamic mapping is considered valid.
If is detected that a dynamic template mapping snippet is invalid at mapping update time then the mapping update is failed for indices created on 8.0.0-alpha1 and later. For indices created on prior version a deprecation warning is omitted instead. In 7.x clusters the mapping update will never fail in case of an invalid dynamic template mapping snippet and a deprecation warning will always be omitted.

The example of how to access the nano value of a date_nanos field has
been broken since it was created. This commit fixes it to use the
correct scripting methods.
closes#51931
Add a new cluster setting `search.allow_expensive_queries` which by
default is `true`. If set to `false`, certain queries that have
usually slow performance cannot be executed and an error message
is returned.
- Queries that need to do linear scans to identify matches:
- Script queries
- Queries that have a high up-front cost:
- Fuzzy queries
- Regexp queries
- Prefix queries (without index_prefixes enabled
- Wildcard queries
- Range queries on text and keyword fields
- Joining queries
- HasParent queries
- HasChild queries
- ParentId queries
- Nested queries
- Queries on deprecated 6.x geo shapes (using PrefixTree implementation)
- Queries that may have a high per-document cost:
- Script score queries
- Percolate queries

The way it was originally written, it sounds like
we are boosting at query time.
Of course, the effect is at query time,
but the point here is that boosting is done at index time
This PR adds per-field metadata that can be set in the mappings and is later
returned by the field capabilities API. This metadata is completely opaque to
Elasticsearch but may be used by tools that index data in Elasticsearch to
communicate metadata about fields with tools that then search this data. A
typical example that has been requested in the past is the ability to attach
a unit to a numeric field.
In order to not bloat the cluster state, Elasticsearch requires that this
metadata be small:
- keys can't be longer than 20 chars,
- values can only be numbers or strings of no more than 50 chars - no inner
arrays or objects,
- the metadata can't have more than 5 keys in total.
Given that metadata is opaque to Elasticsearch, field capabilities don't try to
do anything smart when merging metadata about multiple indices, the union of
all field metadatas is returned.
Here is how the meta might look like in mappings:
```json
{
"properties": {
"latency": {
"type": "long",
"meta": {
"unit": "ms"
}
}
}
}
```
And then in the field capabilities response:
```json
{
"latency": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggreggatable": true,
"meta": {
"unit": [ "ms" ]
}
}
}
}
```
When there are no conflicts, values are arrays of size 1, but when there are
conflicts, Elasticsearch includes all unique values in this array, without
giving ways to know which index has which metadata value:
```json
{
"latency": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggreggatable": true,
"meta": {
"unit": [ "ms", "ns" ]
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#33267
The docs/reference/redirects.asciidoc file stores a list of relocated or
deleted pages for the Elasticsearch Reference documentation.
This prunes several older redirects that are no longer needed and
don't require work to fix broken links in other repositories.
Users often mistakenly map numeric IDs to numeric datatypes. However,
this is often slow for the `term` and other term-level queries.
The "Tune for search speed" docs includes advice for mapping numeric
IDs to `keyword` fields. However, this tip is not included in the
`numeric` or `keyword` field datatype doc pages.
This rewords the tip in the "Tune for search speed" docs, relocates it
to the `numeric` field docs, and reuses it using tagged regions.
Lucene 8.4 added support for "CONTAINS", therefore in this commit those
changes are integrated in Elasticsearch. This commit contains as well a
bug fix when querying with a geometry collection with "DISJOINT" relation.
This change adds a dynamic cluster setting named `indices.id_field_data.enabled`.
When set to `false` any attempt to load the fielddata for the `_id` field will fail
with an exception. The default value in this change is set to `false` in order to prevent
fielddata usage on this field for future versions but it will be set to `true` when backporting
to 7x. When the setting is set to true (manually or by default in 7x) the loading will also issue
a deprecation warning since we want to disallow fielddata entirely when https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/26472
is implemented.
Closes#43599
The `string` type (with option `analyzed`) has been replaced by `text` after `6.0`,
also the `annonated_text` field do not support doc values and should be mentioned.
This PR makes the following two fixes around updating flattened fields:
* Make sure that the new value for ignore_above is immediately taken into
affect. Previously we recorded the new value but did not use it when parsing
documents.
* Allow depth_limit to be updated dynamically. It seems plausible that a user
might want to tweak this setting as they encounter more data.
This PR makes the following updates:
* Update the supported query types to include `prefix` and `wildcard`.
* Specify that queries accept index aliases.
* Clarify that when querying on a remote index name, the separator `:` must be
present.
We have not seen much adoption of this experimental field type, and don't see a
clear use case as it's currently designed. This PR deprecates the field type in
7.x. It will be removed from 8.0 in a follow-up PR.
The `ignore_malformed` setting only works on selected mapping types, otherwise
we throw an mapper_parsing_exception. We should add a list of all the mapping
types that support it, since the number of types not supporting it seems larger.
Closes#47166
Although they do not support eager_global_ordinals, ip fields use global
ordinals for certain aggregations like 'terms'.
This commit also corrects a reference to the sampler aggregation.
Currently we allow `_field_names` fields to be disabled explicitely, but since
the overhead is negligible now we decided to keep it turned on by default and
deprecate the `enable` option on the field type. This change adds a deprecation
warning whenever this setting is used, going forward we want to ignore and finally
remove it.
Closes#27239
This commit updates the eager_global_ordinals documentation to give more
background on what global ordinals are and when they are used. The docs also now
mention that global ordinal loading may be expensive, and describes the cases
where in which loading them can be avoided.

* [SPATIAL] New ShapeFieldMapper for indexing cartesian geometries (#44980)
Add a new ShapeFieldMapper to the xpack spatial module for
indexing arbitrary cartesian geometries using a new field type called shape.
The indexing approach leverages lucene's new XYShape field type which is
backed by BKD in the same manner as LatLonShape but without the WGS84
latitude longitude restrictions. The new field mapper builds on and
extends the refactoring effort in AbstractGeometryFieldMapper and accepts
shapes in either GeoJSON or WKT format (both of which support non geospatial
geometries).
Tests are provided in the ShapeFieldMapperTest class in the same manner
as GeoShapeFieldMapperTests and LegacyGeoShapeFieldMapperTests.
Documentation for how to use the new field type and what parameters are
accepted is included. The QueryBuilder for searching indexed shapes is
provided in a separate commit.
* [SPATIAL] New ShapeQueryBuilder for querying indexed cartesian geometry (#45108)
Add a new ShapeQueryBuilder to the xpack spatial module for
querying arbitrary Cartesian geometries indexed using the new shape field
type.
The query builder extends AbstractGeometryQueryBuilder and leverages the
ShapeQueryProcessor added in the previous field mapper commit.
Tests are provided in ShapeQueryTests in the same manner as
GeoShapeQueryTests and docs are updated to explain how the query works.
Previously, the reindex examples did not include `_doc` as the destination type.
This would result in the reindex failing with the error "Rejecting mapping
update to [users] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc,
user]".
Relates to #43100.
Some small clarifications about force-merging and global ordinals, particularly
that global ordinals are cheap on a single-segment index and how this relates

Typically, dense vectors of both documents and queries must have the same
number of dimensions. Different number of dimensions among documents
or query vector indicate an error. This PR enforces that all vectors
for the same field have the same number of dimensions. It also enforces
that query vectors have the same number of dimensions.
A few places in the documentation had mentioned 6.7 as the version to
upgrade from, when doing an upgrade to 7.0. While this is technically
possible, this commit will replace all those mentions to 6.8, as this is
the latest version with the latest bugfixes, deprecation checks and
ugprade assistant features - which should be the one used for upgrades.

This commit merges the `object-fields` feature branch. The new 'flattened
object' field type allows an entire JSON object to be indexed into a field, and
provides limited search functionality over the field's contents.
It is possible for internal ML indices like `.data-frame-notifications-1` to leak,
causing other docs tests to fail when they accidentally search over these
indices. This PR updates the ignore_above tests to only search a specific index.
Together with types removal, any mention of "fields with the same name in the same index" doesn't make sense anymore.

This PR updates the docs for `docvalue_fields` and `stored_fields` to clarify
that nested fields must be accessed through `inner_hits`. It also tweaks the
nested fields documentation to make this point more visible.
Addresses #23766.
* Previously, we mentioned multiple times that each nested object was indexed as its own document. This is repetitive, and is also a bit confusing in the context of `index.mapping.nested_fields.limit`, as that applies to the number of distinct `nested` types in the mappings, not the number of nested objects. We now just describe the issue once at the beginning of the section, to illustrate why `nested` types can be expensive.
* Reference the ongoing example to clarify the meaning of the two settings.
Addresses #28363.
The `path_match` and `path_unmatch` parameters in dynamic templates match on
object fields in addition to leaf fields. This is not obvious and can cause
surprising errors when a template is meant for a leaf field, but there are
object fields that match. This PR adds a note to the docs to describe the
current behavior.
We received some feedback that it is not completely clear why `_doc` is present
in the typeless document APIs:
> The new index APIs are PUT {index}/_doc/{id} in case of explicit ids and POST
{index}/_doc for auto-generated ids."_ Isn't this contradicting? Specifying
*types in requests is deprecated*, but we are supposed to still mention *_doc*
in write requests?
This PR updates the 'removal of types' documentation to try to clarify that
`_doc` now represents the endpoint name, as opposed to a type.
This PR makes a few clarifications to the docs for the `enabled` setting:
- Replace references to 'mapping type' with 'mapping' or 'mapping definition'.
- In code examples, clarify that the disabled fields have type `object`.
- Add a section on how disabled fields can hold non-object data.
Adds the search_as_you_type field type that acts like a text field optimized
for as-you-type search completion. It creates a couple subfields that analyze
the indexed terms as shingles, against which full terms are queried, and a
prefix subfield that analyze terms as the largest shingle size used and
edge-ngrams, against which partial terms are queried
Adds a match_bool_prefix query type that creates a boolean clause of a term
query for each term except the last, for which a boolean clause with a prefix
query is created.
The match_bool_prefix query is the recommended way of querying a search as you
type field, which will boil down to term queries for each shingle of the input
text on the appropriate shingle field, and the final (possibly partial) term
as a term query on the prefix field. This field type also supports phrase and
phrase prefix queries however
Currently if a field alias is updated, any percolator queries that contain the
alias will still refer to its old target. This PR documents the issue while we
look into addressing it.
Relates to #37212.
This adds a dedicated field mapper that supports nanosecond resolution -
at the price of a reduced date range.
When using the date field mapper, the time is stored as milliseconds since the epoch
in a long in lucene. This field mapper stores the time in nanoseconds
since the epoch - which means its range is much smaller, ranging roughly from
1970 to 2262.
Note that aggregations will still be in milliseconds.
However docvalue fields will have full nanosecond resolution

There are a two major features that are not yet supported by BKD Backed geo_shape: MultiPoint queries, and CONTAINS relation. It is important we are explicitly clear in the documentation that using the new approach may not work for users that depend on these features. This commit adds an IMPORTANT NOTE section to geo_shape docs that explicitly highlights these missing features and what should be done if they are an absolute necessity.
Currently if you mix typed templates and typeless index creation or typeless
templates and typed index creation then you will end up with an error because
Elasticsearch tries to create an index that has multiple types: `_doc` and
the explicit type name that you used.
This commit proposes to give precedence to the index creation call so that
the type from the template will be ignored if the index creation call is
typeless while the template is typed, and the type from the index creation
call will be used if there is a typeless template.
This is consistent with the fact that index creation already "wins" if a field
is defined differently in the index creation call and in a template: the
definition from the index creation call is used in such cases.

The "include_type_name" parameter was temporarily introduced in #37285 to facilitate
moving the default parameter setting to "false" in many places in the documentation
code snippets. Most of the places can simply be reverted without causing errors.
In this change I looked for asciidoc files that contained the
"include_type_name=true" addition when creating new indices but didn't look
likey they made use of the "_doc" type for mappings. This is mostly the case
e.g. in the analysis docs where index creating often only contains settings. I
manually corrected the use of types in some places where the docs still used an
explicit type name and not the dummy "_doc" type.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put mappings.
* Default include_type_name to false for get field mappings.
* Add a constant for the default include_type_name value.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put index templates.
* Default include_type_name to false for create index.
* Update create index calls in REST documentation to use include_type_name=true.
* Some minor clean-ups around the get index API.
* In REST tests, use include_type_name=true by default for index creation.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false'.
* Clarify the different IndexTemplateMetaData toXContent methods.
* Fix FullClusterRestartIT#testSnapshotRestore.
* Fix the ml_anomalies_default_mappings test.
* Fix GetFieldMappingsResponseTests and GetIndexTemplateResponseTests.
We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.
This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.
* Fix more REST tests.
* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.
* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.
* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.
* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false' in FullClusterRestartIT.
* Mention include_type_name in the REST templates docs.
