By default More Like This API excludes the queried document from the response.
However, when debugging or when comparing scores across different queries, it
could be useful to have the best possible matched hit. So this option lets users
explicitly specify the desired behavior.

In the Google Groups forum there appears to be some confusion as to what mlt
does. This documentation update should hopefully help demystifying this
feature, and provide some understanding as to how to use its parameters.
Closes#6092
- Randomized integration tests for the benchmark API.
- Negative tests for cases where the cluster cannot run benchmarks.
- Return 404 on missing benchmark name.
- Allow to specify 'types' as an array in the JSON syntax when describing a benchmark competition.
- Don't record slowest for single-request competitions.

Adds a table with the exhaustive list of all available headers with a brief description (mostly from `org.elasticsearch.rest.action.cat.RestNodesAction`) so that people do not need to go searching for them in the code like I did, or search through `nodes?help`.
Significant terms internally maintain a priority queue per shard with a size potentially
lower than the number of terms. This queue uses the score as criterion to determine if
a bucket is kept or not. If many terms with low subsetDF score very high
but the `min_doc_count` is set high, this might result in no terms being
returned because the pq is filled with low frequent terms which are all sorted
out in the end.
This can be avoided by increasing the `shard_size` parameter to a higher value.
However, it is not immediately clear to which value this parameter must be set
because we can not know how many terms with low frequency are scored higher that
the high frequent terms that we are actually interested in.
On the other hand, if there is no routing of docs to shards involved, we can maybe
assume that the documents of classes and also the terms therein are distributed evenly
across shards. In that case it might be easier to not add documents to the pq that have
subsetDF <= `shard_min_doc_count` which can be set to something like
`min_doc_count`/number of shards because we would assume that even when summing up
the subsetDF across shards `min_doc_count` will not be reached.

Update `geo-shape-type.asciidoc` to include all `GeoShapeType`s supported by the `org.elasticsearch.common.geo.builders.ShapeBuilder`.
Changes include:
1. A tabular mapping of GeoJSON types to Elasticsearch types
2. Listing all types, with brief examples, for all support Elasticsearch types
3. Putting non-standard types to the bottom (really just moving Envelope to the bottom)
4. Linking to all GeoJSON types.
5. Adding whitespace around tightly nested arrays (particularly `multipolygon`) for readability
The possibility of filtering for index templates in the cluster state API
had been introduced before there was a dedicated index templates API. This
commit removes this support from the cluster state API, as it was not really
clean, requiring you to specify the metadata and the index templates.
Closes#4954
A boost terms factor of 1.0 is not the same as no boosting of terms.
The desired behavior is to deactivate boosting by default. If the user
specifies any value other than 0, then boosting is activated.
Closes#6021
Updating to this version allows to configure a special JNA directory,
in case the /tmp directory is mounted with the noexec option, as JNA
extracts some data and tries to execute parts of it.
Also updated documentation to clarify mlockall and memory settings as well
as pointing to the new jna.tmpdir system property.
Closes#5493
Decay functions currently only use the first value in a field that contains
multiple values to compute the distance to the origin. Instead, it should
consider all distances if more values are in the field and then use
one of min/max/sum/avg which is defined by the user.

Separate version check logic for reads and writes for all version types, which allows different behavior in these cases.
Change `VersionType.EXTERNAL` & `VersionType.EXTERNAL_GTE` to behave the same as `VersionType.INTERNAL` for read operations.
The previous behavior was fit for writes but is useless in reads.
This commit also makes the usage of `EXTERNAL` & `EXTERNAL_GTE` in the update api raise a validation error as it make cause data to
be lost.
