This commit removes the http.enabled setting. While all real nodes (started with bin/elasticsearch) will always have an http binding, there are many tests that rely on the quickness of not actually needing to bind to 2 ports. For this case, the MockHttpTransport.TestPlugin provides a dummy http transport implementation which is used by default in ESIntegTestCase.

A NullPointerException is thrown when trying to create or delete
a snapshot in a repository that has been written to by an older
Elasticsearch after writing to it with a newer Elasticsearch version.
This is because the way snapshots are formatted in the repository
snapshots index file changed in #24477.
This commit changes the parsing of the repository index file so that
it now detects a corrupted index file and fails early the snapshot
operation.

This commit renames the bulk thread pool to the write thread pool. This
is to better reflect the fact that the underlying thread pool is used to
execute any document write request (single-document index/delete/update
requests, and bulk requests).
With this change, we add support for fallback settings
thread_pool.bulk.* which will be supported until 7.0.0.
We also add a system property so that the display name of the thread
pool remains as "bulk" if needed to avoid breaking users.
Now that single-document indexing requests are executed on the bulk
thread pool the index thread pool is no longer needed. This commit
removes this thread pool from Elasticsearch.
We want to remove the index thread pool as it is no longer needed since
single-document indexing requests are executed as bulk requests
now. Analyze requests are also executed on the index thread pool though
and they need a thread pool to execute on. The bulk thread does not seem
like the right thread pool, let us keep that thread pool conceptually
for bulk requests and free for bulk requests. None of the existing
thread pools make sense for analyze requests either. The generic thread
pool would be a terrible choice since it has an unbounded queue and that
is a bad idea for user-facing APIs. This commit introduces a small by
default (size=1, queue_size=16) thread pool for analyze requests.
Control max size and count of warning headers
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_count" to control the maximum number of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_size" to control the maximum total size of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
With every warning header that exceeds these limits,
a message will be logged in the main ES log,
and any more warning headers for this response will be
ignored.
I am not sure why we have this leniency for HTTP max content length, it
has been there since the beginning
(5ac51ee93f) with no explanation of its
source. That said, our philosophy today is different than the philosophy
of the past where Elasticsearch would be quite lenient in its handling
of settings and today we aim for predictability for both users and
us. This commit removes leniency in the parsing of
http.max_content_length.
This commit adds a new setting `cluster.persistent_tasks.allocation.enable`
that can be used to enable or disable the allocation of persistent tasks.
The setting accepts the values `all` (default) or `none`. When set to
none, the persistent tasks that are created (or that must be reassigned)
won't be assigned to a node but will reside in the cluster state with
a no "executor node" and a reason describing why it is not assigned:
```
"assignment" : {
"executor_node" : null,
"explanation" : "persistent task [foo/bar] cannot be assigned [no
persistent task assignments are allowed due to cluster settings]"
}
```
Update allocation awareness docs
Today, the docs imply that if multiple attributes are specified the the
whole combination of values is considered as a single entity when
performing allocation. In fact, each attribute is considered separately. This
change fixes this discrepancy.
It also replaces the use of the term "awareness zone" with "zone or domain", and
reformats some paragraphs to the right width.
Fixes#29105
Values for the network.host setting can often contain a colon which is a
character that is considered special by YAML (these arise in IPv6
addresses and some of the special tags like ":ipv4"). As such, these
values need to be quoted or a YAML parser will be unhappy with
them. This commit adds a note to the docs regarding this.
Cluster settings shouldn't leak into the next test.
I played with failing the test if it left over any settings but that
felt like it added more ceremony then it was worth. The advantage is
that any test that intentionally wants to leave settings in place after
the test would fail and require looking at but, so far as I can tell, we
don't have any such tests.
Clear the disk watermark after the snippet showing users how to set it.
Without this our tests will fail if the disks have less than 10GB free.
Closes#28325
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.

* Add accounting circuit breaker and track segment memory usage
This commit adds a new circuit breaker "accounting" that is used for tracking
the memory usage of non-request-tied memory users. It also adds tracking for the
amount of Lucene segment memory used by a shard as a user of the new circuit
breaker.
The Lucene segment memory is updated when the shard refreshes, and removed when
the shard relocates away from a node or is deleted. It should also be noted that
all tracking for segment memory uses `addWithoutBreaking` so as not to fail the
shard if a limit is reached.
The `accounting` breaker has a default limit of 100% and will contribute to the
parent breaker limit.
Resolves#27044
Today Cross Cluster Search requires at least one node in each remote cluster to be up once the cross cluster search is run. Otherwise the whole search request fails despite some of the data (either local and/or remote) is available. This happens when performing the _search/shards calls to find out which remote shards the query has to be executed on. This scenario is different from shard failures that may happen later on when the query is actually executed, in case e.g. remote shards are missing, which is not going to fail the whole request but rather yield partial results, and the _shards section in the response will indicate that.
This commit introduces a boolean setting per cluster called search.remote.$cluster_alias.skip_if_disconnected, set to false by default, which allows to skip certain clusters if they are down when trying to reach them through a cross cluster search requests. By default all clusters are mandatory.
Scroll requests support such setting too when they are first initiated (first search request with scroll parameter), but subsequent scroll rounds (_search/scroll endpoint) will fail if some of the remote clusters went down meanwhile.
The search API response contains now a new _clusters section, similar to the _shards section, that gets returned whenever one or more clusters were disconnected and got skipped:
"_clusters" : {
"total" : 3,
"successful" : 2,
"skipped" : 1
}
Such section won't be part of the response if no clusters have been skipped.
The per cluster skip_unavailable setting value has also been added to the output of the remote/info API.
Removing several occurrences of this typo in the docs and javadocs, seems to be
a common mistake. Corrections turn up once in a while in PRs, better to correct
some of this in one sweep.
The current script service has a script compilation limit for a one
minute window. This is set to a small default value of 15. Instead of
increasing that default value, this commit introduces a new setting
that allows to configure a rate per time unit, so that the script service can deal with bursts better.
The new setting is named `script.max_compilations_rate`,
requires a nonnegative number and a positive time value.
The default is `75/5m`, which is equivalent to the existing 15 per minute.
The names of two settings in the script security docs are incorrect,
referring to the prefix as "scripts" instead of "script". This commit
fixes this issue.

Requests that execute a stored script will no longer be allowed to specify the lang of the script. This information is stored in the cluster state making only an id necessary to execute against. Putting a stored script will still require a lang.
This commit adds cross-settings validation for the low/high/flood stage
disk watermark settings. This validation was enabled by the introduction
of multiple settings validation.
Relates #25600
Today when we run out of disk all kinds of crazy things can happen
and nodes are becoming hard to maintain once out of disk is hit.
While we try to move shards away if we hit watermarks this might not
be possible in many situations. Based on the discussion in #24299
this change monitors disk utilization and adds a flood-stage watermark
that causes all indices that are allocated on a node hitting the flood-stage
mark to be switched read-only (with the option to be deleted). This allows users to react on the low disk
situation while subsequent write requests will be rejected. Users can switch
individual indices read-write once the situation is sorted out. There is no
automatic read-write switch once the node has enough space. This requires
user interaction.
The flood-stage watermark is set to `95%` utilization by default.

command-line flag for specifying a non-default path for configuration.
Relates #25392
This commit adds back "id" as the key within a script to specify a
stored script (which with file scripts now gone is no longer ambiguous).
It also adds "source" as a replacement for "code". This is in an attempt
to normalize how scripts are specified across both put stored scripts and script usages, including search template requests. This also deprecates the old inline/stored keys.
This PR adds a new thread pool type: `fixed_auto_queue_size`. This thread pool
behaves like a regular `fixed` threadpool, except that every
`auto_queue_frame_size` operations (default: 10,000) in the thread pool,
[Little's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little's_law) is calculated and
used to adjust the pool's `queue_size` either up or down by 50. A minimum and
maximum is taken into account also. When the min and max are the same value, a
regular fixed executor is used instead.
The `SEARCH` threadpool is changed to use this new type of thread pool. However,
the min and max are both set to 1000, meaning auto adjustment is opt-in rather
than opt-out.
Resolves#3890
In scripts (at least some of the languages), the terms dictionary and
postings can be access with the special _index variable. This is for
very advanced use cases which want to do their own scoring. The problem
is segment level statistics must be recomputed for every document.
Additionally, this is not friendly to the terms index caching as the
order of looking up terms should be controlled by lucene.
This change removes _index from scripts. Anyone using it can and should
instead write a Similarity plugin, which is explicitly designed to allow
doing the calculations needed for a relevance score.
closes#19359
Today when an index is `read-only` the index is also blocked from
being deleted which sometimes is undesired since in-order to make
changes to a cluster indices must be deleted to free up space. This is
a likely scenario in a hosted environment when disk-space is limited to switch
indices read-only but allow deletions to free up space.
This commit documents how to write a `ScriptEngine` in order to use
expert internal apis, such as using Lucene directly to find index term
statistics. These documents prepare the way to remove both native
scripts and IndexLookup.
The example java code is actually compiled and tested under a new gradle
subproject for example plugins. This change does not yet breakup
jvm-example into the new examples dir, which should be done separately.

Currently, the get snapshots API (e.g. /_snapshot/{repositoryName}/_all)
provides information about snapshots in the repository, including the
snapshot state, number of shards snapshotted, failures, etc. In order
to provide information about each snapshot in the repository, the call
must read the snapshot metadata blob (`snap-{snapshot_uuid}.dat`) for
every snapshot. In cloud-based repositories, this can be expensive,
both from a cost and performance perspective. Sometimes, all the user
wants is to retrieve all the names/uuids of each snapshot, and the
indices that went into each snapshot, without any of the other status
information about the snapshot. This minimal information can be
retrieved from the repository index blob (`index-N`) without needing to
read each snapshot metadata blob.
This commit enhances the get snapshots API with an optional `verbose`
parameter. If `verbose` is set to false on the request, then the get
snapshots API will only retrieve the minimal information about each
snapshot (the name, uuid, and indices in the snapshot), and only read
this information from the repository index blob, thereby giving users
the option to retrieve the snapshots in a repository in a more
cost-effective and efficient manner.

Adds CONSOLE to cross-cluster-search docs but skips them for testing
because we don't have a second cluster set up. This gets us the
`VIEW IN CONSOLE` and `COPY AS CURL` links and makes sure that they
are valid yaml (not json, technically) but doesn't get testing.
Which is better than we had before.
Adds CONSOLE to the dynamic templates docs and ingest-node docs.
The ingest-node docs contain a *ton* of non-console snippets. We
might want to convert them to full examples later, but that can be
a separate thing.

I just spent ages debugging a script I wrote after following the documentation. It was not clear to me that _index is not defined when using painless; if it was mentioned on this page I would have saved myself a lot of time.
Drops any mention of non-sandboxed scripting languages other than a
brief "we don't support them and we shouldn't because A and B"
statement.

They needed to be updated now that Painless is the default and
the non-sandboxed scripting languages are going away or gone.
I dropped the entire section about customizing the classloader
whitelists. In master this barely does anything (exposes more
things to expressions).
This commit enforces the requirement of Content-Type for the REST layer and removes the deprecated methods in transport
requests and their usages.
While doing this, it turns out that there are many places where *Entity classes are used from the apache http client
libraries and many of these usages did not specify the content type. The methods that do not specify a content type
explicitly have been added to forbidden apis to prevent more of these from entering our code base.
Relates #19388
This commit brings the snapshot documentation in conformity
with the CONSOLE format, and fixes the docs so that the documentation
tests can be run against them.
Painless uses Ruby-like method dispatch (reciever type, method name,
and arity) rather than Java-like (reciever type, method name, and
argument compile time types) or Groovy-like method dispatch (receiver
type, method name, and argument run time types). We do this for
mostly good reasons but we never documented it.
