Unit tests rely on mockito to mock the internal HttpClient instance. No http request is performed, we only simulate interaction between RestClient and its internal HttpClient.
Store default headers ourselves instead, otherwise default ones cannot be replaced. Don't allow for multiple headers with same key, last one wins and replaces previous ones with same key.
Also fail with null params or headers.
Although elasticsearch doesn't support these methods (RestController doesn't even allow to register handler for them), the RestClient should allow to send requests using them.
Use sun HttpServer instead and disable forbidden-apis for test classes. It turns out to be more flexible than okhttp as it allows get & delete with body.
Create a new subproject called client-sniffer that contains the o.e.client.sniff package. Since it is going to go to a separate jar, due to its additional functionalities and dependency on jackson, it makes sense to have it as a separate project that depends on client. This way we make sure that client doesn't depend on it etc.
ElasticsearchResponseException, as well as ElasticsearchResponse, should only be created from o.e.client package.
RequestLogger should only be used from this package too.
Instead of having a Connection mutable object that holds the state of the connection to each host, we now have immutable objects only. We keep two sets, one with all the hosts, one with the blacklisted ones. Once we blacklist a host we associate it with a DeadHostState which keeps track of the number of failed attempts and when the host should be retried. A new state object is created each and every time the state of the host needs to be updated.
We still have a wrapper called RestTestClient that is very specific to Rest tests, as well as RestTestResponse etc. but all the low level bits around http connections etc. are now handled by RestClient.
The only small problem is that the response gets closed straightaway and its body read immediately into a string. Should be ok to load it all into memory eagerly though in case of errors. Otherwise it becomes cumbersome to have an exception implement Closeable...
The connection class can be greatly simplified now that we don't ping anymore. Pings required a special initial state (UNKNOWN) for connections, to indicate that they require pinging although they are not dead. At this point we don't need the State enum anymore, as connections can only be dead or alive based on the number of failed attempts. markResurrected is also not needed, as it was again a way to make pings required. RestClient can simply pick a dead connection now and use it, no need to change its state when picking the connection.
