This is the first x-pack API we're adding to the high level REST client
so there is a lot to talk about here!
= Open source
The *client* for these APIs is open source. We're taking the previously
Elastic licensed files used for the `Request` and `Response` objects and
relicensing them under the Apache 2 license.
The implementation of these features is staying under the Elastic
license. This lines up with how the rest of the Elasticsearch language
clients work.
= Location of the new files
We're moving all of the `Request` and `Response` objects that we're
relicensing to the `x-pack/protocol` directory. We're adding a copy of
the Apache 2 license to the root fo the `x-pack/protocol` directory to
line up with the language in the root `LICENSE.txt` file. All files in
this directory will have the Apache 2 license header as well. We don't
want there to be any confusion. Even though the files are under the
`x-pack` directory, they are Apache 2 licensed.
We chose this particular directory layout because it keeps the X-Pack
stuff together and easier to think about.
= Location of the API in the REST client
We've been following the layout of the rest-api-spec files for other
APIs and we plan to do this for the X-Pack APIs with one exception:
we're dropping the `xpack` from the name of most of the APIs. So
`xpack.graph.explore` will become `graph().explore()` and
`xpack.license.get` will become `license().get()`.
`xpack.info` and `xpack.usage` are special here though because they
don't belong to any proper category. For now I'm just calling
`xpack.info` `xPackInfo()` and intend to call usage `xPackUsage` though
I'm not convinced that this is the final name for them. But it does get
us started.
= Jars, jars everywhere!
This change makes the `xpack:protocol` project a `compile` scoped
dependency of the `x-pack:plugin:core` and `client:rest-high-level`
projects. I intend to keep it a compile scoped dependency of
`x-pack:plugin:core` but I intend to bundle the contents of the protocol
jar into the `client:rest-high-level` jar in a follow up. This change
has grown large enough at this point.
In that followup I'll address javadoc issues as well.
= Breaking-Java
This breaks that transport client by a few classes around. We've
traditionally been ok with doing this to the transport client.
This is a followup to #31537. It makes a number of changes requested by
a review that came after the PR was merged. These are mostly cleanups
and doc improvements.
Added support to the high-level rest client for the create snapshot API call. This required
several changes to toXContent which may need to be cleaned up in a later PR. Also
added several parsers for fromXContent to be able to retrieve appropriate responses
along with tests.
We have made node selectors configurable per request, but all
of other language clients don't allow for that.
A good reason not to do so, is that having a different node selector
per request breaks round-robin. This commit makes NodeSelector
configurable only at client initialization. It also improves the docs
on this matter, important given that a single node selector can still
affect round-robin.
Add a `NodeSelector` so that users can filter the nodes that receive
requests based on node attributes.
I believe we'll need this to backport #30523 and we want it anyway.
I also added a bash script to help with rebuilding the sniffer parsing
test documents.
With #29331 we added support for the cluster health API to the
high-level REST client. The transport client does not support the level
parameter, and it always returns all the info needed for shards level
rendering. We have maintained that behaviour when adding support for
cluster health to the high-level REST client, to ease migration, but the
correct thing to do is to default the high-level REST client to
`cluster` level, which is the same default as when going through the
Elasticsearch REST layer.
Given the weirdness of the response returned by the get alias API, we went for a client specific response, which allows us to hold the error message, exception and status returned as part of the response together with aliases. See #30536 .
Relates to #27205
Allows users of the Low Level REST client to specify which hosts a
request should be run on. They implement the `NodeSelector` interface
or reuse a built in selector like `NOT_MASTER_ONLY` to chose which nodes
are valid. Using it looks like:
```
Request request = new Request("POST", "/foo/_search");
RequestOptions options = request.getOptions().toBuilder();
options.setNodeSelector(NodeSelector.NOT_MASTER_ONLY);
request.setOptions(options);
...
```
This introduces a new `Node` object which contains a `HttpHost` and the
metadata about the host. At this point that metadata is just `version`
and `roles` but I plan to add node attributes in a followup. The
canonical way to **get** this metadata is to use the `Sniffer` to pull
the information from the Elasticsearch cluster.
I've marked this as "breaking-java" because it breaks custom
implementations of `HostsSniffer` by renaming the interface to
`NodesSniffer` and by changing it from returning a `List<HttpHost>` to a
`List<Node>`. It *shouldn't* break anyone else though.
Because we expect to find it useful, this also implements `host_selector`
support to `do` statements in the yaml tests. Using it looks a little
like:
```
---
"example test":
- skip:
features: host_selector
- do:
host_selector:
version: " - 7.0.0" # same syntax as skip
apiname:
something: true
```
The `do` section parses the `version` string into a host selector that
uses the same version comparison logic as the `skip` section. When the
`do` section is executed it passed the off to the `RestClient`, using
the `ElasticsearchHostsSniffer` to sniff the required metadata.
The idea is to use this in mixed version tests to target a specific
version of Elasticsearch so we can be sure about the deprecation
logging though we don't currently have any examples that need it. We do,
however, have at least one open pull request that requires something
like this to properly test it.
Closes#21888
* Initial commit of rest high level exposure of cancel task
* fix javadocs
* address some code review comments
* update branch to use tasks namespace instead of cluster
* High-level client: list tasks failure to not lose nodeId
This commit reworks testing for `ListTasksResponse` so that random
fields insertion can be tested and xcontent equivalence can be checked
too. Proper exclusions need to be configured, and failures need to be
tested separately. This helped finding a little problem, whenever there
is a node failure returned, the nodeId was lost as it was never printed
out as part of the exception toXContent.
* added comment
* merge from master
* re-work CancelTasksResponseTests to separate XContent failure cases from non-failure cases
* remove duplication of logic in parser creation
* code review changes
* refactor TasksClient to support RequestOptions
* add tests for parent task id
* address final PR review comments, mostly formatting and such
This commit adds Verify Repository, the associated docs and tests for
the high level REST API client. A few small changes to the Verify
Repository Response went into the commit as well.
Relates #27205
Our API spec define the tasks API as e.g. tasks.list, meaning that they belong to their own namespace. This commit moves them from the cluster namespace to their own namespace.
Relates to #29546
Adding headers rather than setting them all at once seems more
user-friendly and we already do it in a similar way for parameters
(see Request#addParameter).
This commit adds Delete Repository, the associated docs and tests for
the high level REST API client. It also cleans up a seemingly innocuous
line in the RestDeleteRepositoryAction and some naming in SnapshotIT.
Relates #27205
This change adds a `listTasks` method to the high level java
ClusterClient which allows listing running tasks through the
task management API.
Related to #27205
This commit adds Create Repository, the associated docs and tests
for the high level REST API client. A few small changes to the
PutRepository Request and Response went into the commit as well.
The High Level REST Client's documentation suggested that users should
use the Low Level REST Client for index management activities. This
change removes that suggestion because the high level REST client
supports those APIs now.
This also changes the examples in the migration docs to that still use
the Low Level REST Client to use the non-deprecated varieats of
`performRequest`.
This commit adds the Snapshot Client with a first API call within it,
the get repositories call in snapshot/restore module. This also creates
a snapshot namespace for the docs, as well as get repositories docs.
Relates #27205
This PR adds support for the Get Settings API to the java high-level rest client.
Furthermore, logic related to the retrieval of default settings has been moved from the rest layer into the transport layer and now default settings may be retrieved consistency via both the rest API and the transport API.
Adds two new methods to `RestClient` that take a `Request` object. These
methods will allows us to add more per-request customizable options
without creating more and more and more overloads of the `performRequest`
and `performRequestAsync` methods. These new methods look like:
```
Response performRequest(Request request)
```
and
```
void performRequestAsync(Request request, ResponseListener responseListener)
```
This change doesn't add any actual features but enables adding things like
per request timeouts and per request node selectors. This change *does*
rework the `HighLevelRestClient` and its tests to use these new `Request`
objects and it does update the docs.
As part of adding support for new API to the high-level REST client,
we added support for the `flat_settings` parameter to some of our
request classes. We added documentation that such flag is only ever
read by the high-level REST client, but the truth is that it doesn't
do anything given that settings are always parsed back into a `Settings`
object, no matter whether they are returned in a flat format or not.
It was a mistake to add support for this flag in the context of the
high-level REST client, hence this commit removes it.
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
Adds docs for `HighLevelRestClient#multiSearch`. Unlike the `multiGet`
docs these are much more sparse because multi-search doesn't support
setting many options on the `MultiSearchRequest` and instead just wraps
a list of `SearchRequest`s.
Closes#28389
This commit adds a note to the low-level REST client docs regarding the
possibility of being impacted by the JVM DNS cache policy under a
default security manager policy.
* [DOCS] expand examples on providing mappings for create index and put mapping
The create index API and put mappings API docs the for high-level Java REST client didn't have a lot of info on how to provide mappings. This commit adds some examples.
This commit splits the async execution documentation into 2 parts, one
for the async method itself and one for the action listener. This allows
to add more doc and to use CountDownLatches in doc tests to wait for
asynchronous operations to be completed before moving to the next test.
It also renames few files.
Related to #28457
Introduce minimal thread scheduler as a base class for `ThreadPool`. Such a class can be used from the `BulkProcessor` to schedule retries and the flush task. This allows to remove the `ThreadPool` dependency from `BulkProcessor`, which requires to provide settings that contain `node.name` and also needed log4j for logging. Instead, it needs now a `Scheduler` that is much lighter and gets automatically created and shut down on close.
Closes#26028
The current "Building Queries" and "Building Aggregations" pages are
located under the "Supported Apis" section because they are linked to
the "Search API" page.
It should instead be in a dedicated section: this commit adds a new
"Using Java Builders" section and renames few filenames in favor of
more meaningful names.
By making RestHighLevelClient Closeable, its close method will close the internal low-level REST client instance by default, which simplifies the way most users interact with the high-level client.
Its constructor accepts now a RestClientBuilder, which clarifies that the low-level REST client is internally created and managed.
It is still possible to provide an already built `RestClient` instance, but that can only be done by subclassing `RestHighLevelClient` and calling the protected constructor that accepts a `RestClient`. In such case a consumer has also to be provided, which controls what has to be done when the high-level client gets done.
Closes#26086
When using the High Level Rest Client 6.0.0-beta1, we are missing some transitive dependencies for Lucene as Lucene 7 has not been released yet. See the following `pom.xml`:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
<artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>

It gives:
```

We need to add some temporary documentation on how to add the missing repository to a gradle or maven project:
```xml
<repository>

```
This also applies to the transport client.
Closes#26106.
We publish javadocs to artifacts.elastic.co (and snapshots.elastic.co) for a while. This commit adds the link to them to the transport client, low level REST client, sniffer and high level REST client pages.
Closes#23761
