The ranking evaluation requests so far were not tested against aliases
but they should run regardless of the targeted index is a real index or
an alias. This change adds cases for this to the integration and rest
tests.
Allow high level java rest client to access details of the metric
calculation by making them accessible across packages. Also renaming the
inner `Breakdown` classes of the evaluation metrics to `Detail` to
better communicate their use.
This change validates that the `_search` request does not have trailing
tokens after the main object and fails the request with a parsing exception otherwise.
Closes#28995
* Move ObjectParser into the x-content lib
This moves `ObjectParser`, `AbstractObjectParser`, and
`ConstructingObjectParser` into the libs/x-content dependency. This decoupling
allows them to be used for parsing for projects that don't want to depend on the
entire Elasticsearch jar.

Currently the ranking evaluation API doesn't support many of the
standard parameters of the search API. Some of these make sense, like
adding support for the common indices options parameters, which this
change adds.
Fixes and edge case where DiscountedCumulativeGain can return NaN as
result of the quality metric calculation. This can happen when the
search result set is empty and normalization is used. We should return 0
in this case. Also adding related unit tests to the other two metrics.
Currently we store the indices specified in the request URL together with all
the other ranking evaluation specification in RankEvalSpec. This is not ideal
since e.g. the indices are not rendered to xContent and so cannot be parsed
back. Instead we should keep them in RankEvalRequest.
* Decouple XContentBuilder from BytesReference
This commit removes all mentions of `BytesReference` from `XContentBuilder`.
This is needed so that we can completely decouple the XContent code and move it
into its own dependency.
While this change appears large, it is due to two main changes, moving
`.bytes()` and `.string()` out of XContentBuilder itself into static methods
`BytesReference.bytes` and `Strings.toString` respectively. The rest of the
change is code reacting to these changes (the majority of it in tests).
Relates to #28504
Parsing of a ranking evaluation request and its subcomponents should throw parsing
errors on unknown fields. This change adds tests for this and changes the parser
behaviour in cases where it is needed.
* Move to non-deprecated XContentHelper.createParser(...)
This moves away from one of the now-deprecated XContentHelper.createParser
methods in favor of specifying the deprecation logger at parser creation time.
Relates to #28449
Note that this doesn't move all the `createParser` calls because some of them
use the already-deprecated method that doesn't specify the XContentType.
* Remove the deprecated (and now non-needed) createParser method
This change adds support for the new ranking evaluation API to the High Level Rest Client.
This mostly means adding support for parsing the various response objects back from the
REST representation. It includes one change to the response syntax where previously we didn't
print the type of the metric details section but we now need it to pick the right parser to
parse this section back.
Closes#28198
Currenty the rest response of the ranking evaluation API wraps all inside an
enclosing `rank_eval` object. This is redundant since it is clear from the API
call and it doesn't provide any other useful information. This change removes
this.
Removing the unnecessary RankEvalTestHelper, making use of the common test infra
in ESTestCase, also hardening a few of the classes by making more fields final.
Problem: So far all rank eval requests are being executed in parallel. If there
are more than the search thread pool can handle, or if there are other search
requests executed in parallel rank eval can fail.
Solution: Make number of max_concurrent_searches configurable.
Name of configuration parameter is analogous to msearch. Default
max_concurrent_searches set to 10: Rank_eval isn't particularly time critical so
trying to avoid being more clever than probably needed here. Can set this value
through the API to a higher value anytime.
