There was some confusion about the fact that tokens emitted from a Pattern
Capture Token Filter are treated as synonyms when used to analyze a search
query. This commit adds an explanation to the note in the docs to emphasize this
behaviour.
Closes#25746
This change is a continuation of #25726 that aligns field expansions for the simple_query_string with the query_string and multi_match query.
The main changes are:
* For exact field name, the new behavior is to rewrite to a matchnodocs query when the field name is not found in the mapping.
* For partial field names (with * suffix), the expansion is done only on keyword, text, date, ip and number field types. Other field types are simply ignored.
* For all fields (*), the expansion is done on accepted field types only (see above) and metadata fields are also filtered.
The use_all_fields option is deprecated in this change and can be replaced by setting `*` in the fields parameter.
This commit also changes how text fields are analyzed. Previously the default search analyzer (or the provided analyzer) was used to analyze every text part
, ignoring the analyzer set on the field in the mapping. With this change, the field analyzer is used instead unless an analyzer has been forced in the parameter of the query.
Finally now that all full text queries can handle the special "*" expansion (`all_fields` mode), the `index.query.default_field` is now set to `*` for indices created in 6.
We use `:` for cross-cluster search (eg `cluster:index`), therefore, we should
not allow the ambiguity when allowing cluster or index names.

All of the snippets in our docs marked with `// TESTRESPONSE` are
checked against the response from Elasticsearch but, due to the
way they are implemented they are actually parsed as YAML instead
of JSON. Luckilly, all valid JSON is valid YAML! Unfurtunately
that means that invalid JSON has snuck into the exmples!
This adds a step during the build to parse them as JSON and fail
the build if they don't parse.
But no! It isn't quite that simple. The displayed text of some of
these responses looks like:
```
{
...
"aggregations": {
"range": {
"buckets": [
{
"to": 1.4436576E12,
"to_as_string": "10-2015",
"doc_count": 7,
"key": "*-10-2015"
},
{
"from": 1.4436576E12,
"from_as_string": "10-2015",
"doc_count": 0,
"key": "10-2015-*"
}
]
}
}
}
```
Note the `...` which isn't valid json but we like it anyway and want
it in the output. We use substitution rules to convert the `...`
into the response we expect. That yields a response that looks like:
```
{
"took": $body.took,"timed_out": false,"_shards": $body._shards,"hits": $body.hits,
"aggregations": {
"range": {
"buckets": [
{
"to": 1.4436576E12,
"to_as_string": "10-2015",
"doc_count": 7,
"key": "*-10-2015"
},
{
"from": 1.4436576E12,
"from_as_string": "10-2015",
"doc_count": 0,
"key": "10-2015-*"
}
]
}
}
}
```
That is what the tests consume but it isn't valid JSON! Oh no! We don't
want to go update all the substitution rules because that'd be huge and,
ultimately, wouldn't buy much. So we quote the `$body.took` bits before
parsing the JSON.
Note the responses that we use for the `_cat` APIs are all converted into
regexes and there is no expectation that they are valid JSON.

The names of two settings in the script security docs are incorrect,

In #26185 we made the description of `requests_per_second` sane
for reindex. This improves on the description by using some more
common vocabulary ("batch size", etc) and improving the formatting
of the example calculation so it stands out and doesn't require
scrolling.
An array of values is required because there is no default (or
reasonable way to set a default). But validation for values
only happens if it is actually set. If the values param is omitted
entirely than the agg builder will NPE.
The environment variable CONF_DIR was previously inconsistently used in
our packaging to customize the location of Elasticsearch configuration
files. The importance of this environment variable has increased
starting in 6.0.0 as it's now used consistently to ensure Elasticsearch
and all secondary scripts (e.g., elasticsearch-keystore) all use the
same configuration. The name CONF_DIR is there for legacy reasons yet
it's too generic. This commit renames CONF_DIR to ES_PATH_CONF.
Relates #26197
In reindex APIs, when using the `slices` parameter to choose the number of slices, adds the option to specify `slices` as "auto" which will choose a reasonable number of slices. It uses the number of shards in the source index, up to a ceiling. If there is more than one source index, it uses the smallest number of shards among them.
This gives users an easy way to use slicing in these APIs without having to make decisions about how to configure it, as it provides a good-enough configuration for them out of the box. This may become the default behavior for these APIs in the future.
The percolator field mapper doesn't need to extract all terms and ranges from a bool query with must or filter clauses.
In order to help to default extraction behavior, boost fields can be configured, so that fields that are known for not being
selective enough can be ignored in favor for other fields or clauses with specific fields can forcefully take precedence over other clauses.
This can help selecting clauses for fields that don't match with a lot of percolator queries over other clauses and thus improving performance of the percolate query.
For example a status like field is something that should configured as an ignore field.
Queries on this field tend to match with more documents and so if clauses for this fields
get selected as best clause then that isn't very helpful for the candidate query that the
percolate query generates to filter out percolator queries that are likely not going to match.
With this commit we remove the following three previously unused
(and undocumented) Netty 4 related settings:
* transport.netty.max_cumulation_buffer_capacity,
* transport.netty.max_composite_buffer_components and
* http.netty.max_cumulation_buffer_capacity
from Elasticsearch.
* Add support for auto_generate_synonyms_phrase_query in match_query, multi_match_query, query_string and simple_query_string
This change adds a new parameter called auto_generate_synonyms_phrase_query (defaults to true).
This option can be used in conjunction with synonym_graph token filter to generate phrase queries
when multi terms synonyms are encountered.
For example, a synonym like "ny, new york" would produce the following boolean query when "ny city" is parsed:
((ny OR "new york") AND city)
Note how the multi terms synonym "new york" produces a phrase query.
The goal of this similarity is to help users who would like to keep the
functionality of the `tf-idf` similarity that we want to remove, or to allow
for specific usec-cases (disabling idf, disabling tf, disabling length norm,
etc.) to not have to build a custom plugin and familiarize with the low-level
Lucene API.

On non-Windows platforms, we ignore the environment variable
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS (this is an environment variable that the JVM respects
by default for picking up extra JVM options). The primary reason that we
ignore this because of the Jayatana agent on Ubuntu; a secondary reason
is that it produces an annoying "Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: ..."
output message. When the elasticsearch-env batch script was introduced
for Windows, ignoring this environment variable was deliberately not
carried over as the primary reason does not apply on Windows. However,
after additional thinking, it seems that we should simply be consistent
to the extent possible here (and also avoid that annoying "Picked up
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: ..." on Windows too). This commit causes the Windows
version of elasticsearch-env to also ignore JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS.

This commit changes the way we handle field expansion in `match`, `multi_match` and `query_string` query.
The main changes are:
- For exact field name, the new behavior is to rewrite to a matchnodocs query when the field name is not found in the mapping.
- For partial field names (with `*` suffix), the expansion is done only on `keyword`, `text`, `date`, `ip` and `number` field types. Other field types are simply ignored.
- For all fields (`*`), the expansion is done on accepted field types only (see above) and metadata fields are also filtered.
- The `*` notation can also be used to set `default_field` option on`query_string` query. This should replace the needs for the extra option `use_all_fields` which is deprecated in this change.
This commit also rewrites simple `*` query to matchalldocs query when all fields are requested (Fixes#25556).
The same change should be done on `simple_query_string` for completeness.
`use_all_fields` option in `query_string` is also deprecated in this change, `default_field` should be set to `*` instead.

This commit adds the min wire/index compat versions to the main action
output. Not only will this make the compatility expected more
transparent, but it also allows to test which version others think the
compat versions are, similar to how we test the lucene version.
When a node tries to join a cluster, it goes through a validation step to make sure the node is compatible with the cluster. Currently we validation that the node can read the cluster state and that it is compatible with the indexes of the cluster. This PR adds validation that the joining node's version is compatible with the versions of existing nodes. Concretely we check that:
1) The node's min compatible version is higher or equal to any node in the cluster (this prevents a too-new node from joining)
2) The node's version is higher or equal to the min compat version of all cluster nodes (this prevents a too old join where, for example, the master is on 5.6, there's another 6.0 node in the cluster and a 5.4 node tries to join).
3) The node's major version is at least as higher as the lowest node in the cluster. This is important as we use the minimum version in the cluster to stop executing bwc code for operations that require multiple nodes. If the nodes are already operating in "new cluster mode", we should prevent nodes from the previous major to join (even if they are wire level compatible). This does mean that if you have a very unlucky partition during the upgrade which partitions all old nodes which are also a minority / data nodes only, the may not be able to re-join the cluster. We feel this edge case risk is well worth the simplification it brings to BWC layers only going one way. This restriction only holds if the cluster state has been recovered (i.e., the cluster has properly formed).
Also, the node join validation can now selectively fail specific nodes (previously the entire batch was failed). This is an important preparation for a follow up PR where we plan to have a rejected joining node die with dignity.
Also has updates to ScriptMetaData for allowing the old namespace format to be loaded all the way back through 5.0; however, it will throw an exception if two scripts share the same id but different languages.
Today we enable users to customize the environment through the use of
ES_INCLUDE. This made sense for legacy reasons when we did not have
nicities like jvm.options (so dumped JVM options in the default include
script) and somewhat duplicates some of the functionality that we will
need from a dedicated environment script. This commit removes support
for ES_INCLUDE as a first step towards a dedicated include script.

We currently use fielddata on the `_id` field which is trappy, especially as we
do it implicitly. This changes the `random_score` function to use doc ids when
no seed is provided and to suggest a field when a seed is provided.
For now the change only emits a deprecation warning when no field is supplied
but this should be replaced by a strict check on 7.0.

This commit expands on the migration note regarding the removal of
default.path.data and default.path.logs to include a note that users
that were relying on the defaults (the common case for path.logs), and
they carry over their previous elasticsearch.yml configruation file,
then they must add explicit values for path.data and path.logs.
403 can be confused with security. If an API doesn't support working against closed indices and closed indices are referred to in a request, that is a bad request, hence 400 is more appropriate.
Currently the `to` and `from` parameter in the `date_range` aggregation is not
parsed with the correct date field format from the mappings or the aggregation
if the argument is numeric, but always treated as a long value specifying
`epoch_millis`. This leads to problems e.g. when the format is `epoch_second`,
but the `to` and `from` are currently treated as millis.
With this change, we interpret these parameters according to the `format` of the target field.
If the `format` in the mappings is not compatible with numeric input values,
a compatible `format` (e.g. `epoch_millis`, `epoch_second`) must be specified in
the `date_range` aggregation itself, otherwise an error is thrown.

This commit changes the default heap size to 1 GB. Experimenting with
elasticsearch is often done on laptops, and 1 GB is much friendlier to

a smaller default footprint. Users running in production can (and
should) adjust the heap size as necessary for their usecase.
The Filtered Query has been deprecated in favour of the Bool Query with a filter context. However, this deleted page for the Filtered Query is often ranked highly in search results when searching for documentation on "filtered queries". Often people just copy the first code snippet they see, which in this case is the INCORRECT syntax (the correct syntax follows). I think reordering the examples would help avoid a lot of confusion (I have seen people make this same mistake 3 times now)
Adding a comment to indicate that the first example shouldn't be used
This change refactors the query_string query to analyze the query text around logical operators of the query string the same way than a match_query/multi_match_query.
It also adds a type parameter that can be used to change the way multi fields query are built the same way than a multi_match query does.
Now that these queries share the same behavior regarding text analysis, some parameters are obsolete and have been deprecated:
split_on_whitespace: This setting is now ignored with a deprecation notice
if it is used explicitely. With this PR The query_string always splits on logical operator.
It simplifies the understanding of the other parameters that can have different meanings
depending on the value of split_on_whitespace.
auto_generate_phrase_queries: This setting is now ignored with a deprecation notice
if it is used explicitely. This setting only makes sense when the parser splits on whitespace.
use_dismax: This setting is now ignored with a deprecation notice
if it is used explicitely. The tie_breaker parameter is sufficient to handle best_fields/most_fields.
Fixes#25574
Today if we search across a large amount of shards we hit every shard. Yet, it's quite
common to search across an index pattern for time based indices but filtering will exclude
all results outside a certain time range ie. `now-3d`. While the search can potentially hit
hundreds of shards the majority of the shards might yield 0 results since there is not document
that is within this date range. Kibana for instance does this regularly but used `_field_stats`
to optimize the indexes they need to query. Now with the deprecation of `_field_stats` and it's upcoming removal a single dashboard in kibana can potentially turn into searches hitting hundreds or thousands of shards and that can easily cause search rejections even though the most of the requests are very likely super cheap and only need a query rewriting to early terminate with 0 results.
This change adds a pre-filter phase for searches that can, if the number of shards are higher than a the `pre_filter_shard_size` threshold (defaults to 128 shards), fan out to the shards
and check if the query can potentially match any documents at all. While false positives are possible, a negative response means that no matches are possible. These requests are not subject to rejection and can greatly reduce the number of shards a request needs to hit. The approach here is preferable to the kibana approach with field stats since it correctly handles aliases and uses the correct threadpools to execute these requests. Further it's completely transparent to the user and improves scalability of elasticsearch in general on large clusters.
This commit enables management of the main Elasticsearch log files
out-of-the-box by the following changes:
- compress rolled logs
- roll logs every 128 MB
- maintain a sliding window of logs
- remove the oldest logs maintaining no more than 2 GB of compressed
logs on disk

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.
Indexing a join field on a document requires a value of type "object" and two sub fields "name"
and "parent". The "parent" field is only required on child documents, but the "name" field which
denotes the name of the relation is always needed. Previously, only the short-hand version of the
join field was documented. This adds documentation for the long-hand join field data, and
explicitly points out that just specifying the name of the relation for the field value is a
convenience shortcut.
This is a protection mechanism to prevent a single search request from
hitting a large number of shards in the cluster concurrently. If a search is
executed against all indices in the cluster this can easily overload the cluster
causing rejections etc. which is not necessarily desirable. Instead this PR adds
a per request limit of `max_concurrent_shard_requests` that throttles the number of
concurrent initial phase requests to `256` by default. This limit can be increased per request
and protects single search requests from overloading the cluster. Subsequent PRs can introduces
addiontional improvemetns ie. limiting this on a `_msearch` level, making defaults a factor of
the number of nodes or sort shards iters such that we gain the best concurrency across nodes.
This change collapses some of the packages for the bucket aggregations into their parent packages. This was done for the following aggregations:
* The variants of the range aggregation (geo_distance, date and ip) were moved into the `o.e.s.a.bucket.range` package
* The `o.e.s.a.bucket.terms.support` package was removed and the classes were moved to `o.e.s.a.bucket.terms`
* The filter aggregation was moved to `o.e.s.a.bucket.filter`
Since this PR is already relatively large with only the above changes subsequent PRs will do similar operations on relevant metric and pipeline aggregations

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.

With #23997 we have introduced a new internal index option that allows to resolve index expressions only against concrete indices while ignoring aliases. Such index option was applied to IndicesAliasesRequest, so that the index part of alias actions would only be resolved against concrete indices.
Same is done in this commit with delete index request. Deleting aliases has always been confusing as some users expect it to only remove the alias from the index (which has its own specific API). Even worse, in case of filtered aliases, deleting an alias may leave users with the expectation that only the documents that match the filter are deleted, which was never the case. To address all this confusion, delete index api works now only against concrete indices. WIldcard expressions will be only resolved against concrete index, as if aliases didn't exist. If one tries to delete against an alias, an IndexNotFoundException will be thrown regardless of whether the alias exists or not, as a concrete index with such a name doesn't exist.

* Add documentation for the new parent-join field
This commit adds the docs for the new parent-join field.
It explains how to define, index and query this new field.

* Upgrade icu4j for the ICU analysis plugin to 59.1
Lucene upgraded to 59.1 so we should use the same.
Closes#21425
* Add breaking change for the icu upgrade
This snapshot has faster range queries on range fields (LUCENE-7828), more
accurate norms (LUCENE-7730) and the ability to use fake term frequencies
(LUCENE-7854).
Expose the experimental simplepattern and
simplepatternsplit tokenizers in the common
analysis plugin. They provide tokenization based
on regular expressions, using Lucene's
deterministic regex implementation that is usually
faster than Java's and has protections against
creating too-deep stacks during matching.
Both have a not-very-useful default pattern of the
empty string because all tokenizer factories must
be able to be instantiated at index creation time.
They should always be configured by the user
in practice.
Get mappings HEAD requests incorrectly return a content-length header of
0. This commit addresses this by removing the special handling for get
mappings HEAD requests, and just relying on the general mechanism that
exists for handling HEAD requests in the REST layer.

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 change removes the `postings` highlighter. This highlighter has been removed from Lucene master (7.x) because it behaves
exactly like the `unified` highlighter when index_options is set to `offsets`:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7815
It also makes the `unified` highlighter the default choice for highlighting a field (if `type` is not provided).
The strategy used internally by this highlighter remain the same as before, it checks `term_vectors` first, then `postings` and ultimately it re-analyzes the text.
Ultimately it rewrites the docs so that the options that the `unified` highlighter cannot handle are clearly marked as such.
There are few features that the `unified` highlighter is not able to handle which is why the other highlighters (`plain` and `fvh`) are still available.
I'll open separate issues for these features and we'll deprecate the `fvh` and `plain` highlighters when full support for these features have been added to the `unified`.
This PR enables Ingest plugins to leverage processor-scoped REST
endpoints. First of which being the Grok endpoint that retrieves
Grok Patterns for users to retrieve all the built-in patterns.
Example usage: Kibana Grok Autocomplete!
This commit refactors the query phase in order to be able
to automatically detect queries that can be early terminated.
If the index sort matches the query sort, the top docs collection is early terminated
on each segment and the computing of the total number of hits that match the query is delegated to a simple TotalHitCountCollector.
This change also adds a new parameter to the search request called `track_total_hits`.
It indicates if the total number of hits that match the query should be tracked.
If false, queries sorted by the index sort will not try to compute this information and
and will limit the collection to the first N documents per segment.
Aggregations are not impacted and will continue to see every document
even when the index sort matches the query sort and `track_total_hits` is false.

During package install on systemd-based systems, some sysctl settings
should be set (e.g. vm.max_map_count).
In some environments, changing sysctl settings plainly does not work;
previously a global environment variable named
ES_SKIP_SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS was introduced to skip calling sysctl, but
this causes trouble for:
- configuration management systems, which usually cannot apply an env
var when running a package manager
- package upgrades, which will not have the env var set any more, and
thus leaving the package management system in a bad state (possibly
half-way upgraded, can be very hard to recover)
This removes the env var again and instead of calling systemd-sysctl
manually, tells systemd to restart the wrapper unit - which itself can
be masked by system administrators or management tools if it is known
that sysctl does not work in a given environment.
The restart is not silent on systems in their default configuration, but
is ignored if the unit is masked.

The index parameter in the update-aliases, put-alias, and delete-alias APIs no longer accepts alias names. Instead, it accepts only index names (or wildcards which will expand to matching indices).
Closes#23960
This removes the parsing of things like `GET /idx/_aliases,_mappings`, instead,
a user must choose between retriving all index metadata with `GET /idx`, or only
a specific form such as `GET /idx/_settings`.
Relates to (and is a prerequisite of) #24437
Some response classes in the java api expose both `getTook()` which returns a `TimeValue` and `getTookInMillis` which returns a `long` value. `getTook()` is enough as one can do `getTook().millis()` to obtain the same result as `getTookInMillis()`, which can be removed.
* Adds nodes usage API to monitor usages of actions
The nodes usage API has 2 main endpoints
/_nodes/usage and /_nodes/{nodeIds}/usage return the usage statistics
for all nodes and the specified node(s) respectively.
At the moment only one type of usage statistics is available, the REST
actions usage. This records the number of times each REST action class is
called and when the nodes usage api is called will return a map of rest
action class name to long representing the number of times each of the action
classes has been called.
Still to do:
* [x] Create usage service to store usage statistics
* [x] Record usage in REST layer
* [x] Add Transport Actions
* [x] Add REST Actions
* [x] Tests
* [x] Documentation
* Rafactors UsageService so counts are done by the handlers
* Fixing up docs tests
* Adds a name to all rest actions
* Addresses review comments
This commit adds a new bg_count field to the REST response of
SignificantTerms aggregations. Similarly to the bg_count that already
exists in significant terms buckets, this new bg_count field is set at
the aggregation level and is populated with the superset size value.
Currently global ordinals are documented under `fielddata`. It moves them to
their own file since they also work with doc values and fielddata is on the way
out.
Closes#23101
This commit adds a `doc_count` field to the response body of Matrix
Stats aggregation. It exposes the number of documents involved in
the computation of statistics, a value that can already be retrieved using
the method MatrixStats.getDocCount() in the Java API.
* SignificantText aggregation - like significant_terms but doesn’t require fielddata=true, recommended used with `sampler` agg to limit expense of tokenizing docs and takes optional `filter_duplicate_text`:true setting to avoid stats skew from repeated sections of text in search results.
Closes#23674
