This commit changes dynamic mappings updates so that they are synchronous on the
entire cluster and their validity is checked by the master node. There are some
important consequences of this commit:
- a failing index request on a non-existing type does not implicitely create
the type anymore
- dynamic mappings updates cannot create inconsistent mappings on different
shards
- indexing requests that introduce new fields might induce latency spikes
because of the overhead to update the mappings on the master node
Close#8688
It is now possible to specify aliases during index creation:
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test' -d '
{
"aliases" : {
"alias1" : {},
"alias2" : {
"filter" : { "term" : {"field":"value"}}
}
}
}'
Closes#4920
