[DOCS] http -> https, remove outdated plugin docs (#60380) (#60545)
Plugin discovery documentation contained information about installing
Elasticsearch 2.0 and installing an oracle JDK, both of which is no
longer valid.

While noticing that the instructions used cleartext HTTP to install
packages, this commit replaces HTTPs links instead of HTTP where possible.

In addition a few community links have been removed, as they do not seem
to exist anymore.

David Turner 822b7421ce Forbid read-only-allow-delete block in blocks API (#58727)
The read-only-allow-delete block is not really under the user's control
since Elasticsearch adds/removes it automatically. This commit removes
support for it from the new API for adding blocks to indices that was
introduced in #58094.

Yannick Welsch b885cbff1a
Add index block api (#58716)
Adds an API for putting an index block in place, which also ensures for write blocks that, once successfully returning to
the user, all shards of the index are properly accounting for the block, for example that all in-flight writes to an index have
been completed after adding the write block.

This API allows coordinating more complex workflows, where it is crucial that an index is no longer receiving writes after
the API completes, useful for example when marking an index as read-only during an upgrade in order to reindex its
documents.

Adrien Grand 5f81906fcf Discourage from opting in for the `niofs` store. (#52638)

indices open with the `mmapfs` store type. This limitation is now documented
and examples have been updated to show how to update settings to use the
`mmapfs` store type rather than `niofs`.

Ignore translog retention policy if soft-deletes enabled (#45473)
Since #45136, we use soft-deletes instead of translog in peer recovery.
There's no need to retain extra translog to increase a chance of
operation-based recoveries. This commit ignores the translog retention
policy if soft-deletes is enabled so we can discard translog more
quickly.

Track total hits up to 10,000 by default (#37466)
This commit changes the default for the `track_total_hits` option of the search request
to `10,000`. This means that by default search requests will accurately track the total hit count
up to `10,000` documents, requests that match more than this value will set the `"total.relation"`
to `"gte"` (e.g. greater than or equals) and the `"total.value"` to `10,000` in the search response.
Scroll queries are not impacted, they will continue to count the total hits accurately.
The default is set back to `true` (accurate hit count) if `rest_total_hits_as_int` is set in the search request.
I choose `10,000` as the default because that's also the number we use to limit pagination. This means that users will be able to know how far they can jump (up to 10,000) even if the total number of hits is not accurate.

Remove remaining occurances of "include_type_name=true" in docs (#37646) 2019-01-22 15:13:52 +01:00
Christoph Büscher 25aac4f77f
Remove `include_type_name` in asciidoc where possible (#37568)
The "include_type_name" parameter was temporarily introduced in #37285 to facilitate
moving the default parameter setting to "false" in many places in the documentation
code snippets. Most of the places can simply be reverted without causing errors.
In this change I looked for asciidoc files that contained the
"include_type_name=true" addition when creating new indices but didn't look
likey they made use of the "_doc" type for mappings. This is mostly the case
e.g. in the analysis docs where index creating often only contains settings. I
manually corrected the use of types in some places where the docs still used an
explicit type name and not the dummy "_doc" type.

Update the default for include_type_name to false. (#37285)
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put mappings.

* Default include_type_name to false for get field mappings.

* Add a constant for the default include_type_name value.

* Default include_type_name to false for get and put index templates.

* Default include_type_name to false for create index.

* Update create index calls in REST documentation to use include_type_name=true.

* Some minor clean-ups around the get index API.

* In REST tests, use include_type_name=true by default for index creation.

* Make sure to use 'expression == false'.

* Clarify the different IndexTemplateMetaData toXContent methods.

* Fix FullClusterRestartIT#testSnapshotRestore.

* Fix the ml_anomalies_default_mappings test.

* Fix GetFieldMappingsResponseTests and GetIndexTemplateResponseTests.

We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.

This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.

* Fix more REST tests.

* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.

* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.

* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.

* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.

* Make sure to use 'expression == false' in FullClusterRestartIT.

* Mention include_type_name in the REST templates docs.

Daniel Mitterdorfer 75f3443c62
Rename setting to enable mmap
With this commit we rename `node.store.allow_mmapfs` to
`node.store.allow_mmap`. Previously this setting has controlled whether
`mmapfs` could be used as a store type. With the introduction of
`hybridfs` which also relies on memory-mapping,
`node.store.allow_mmapfs` also applies to `hybridfs` and thus we rename
it in order to convey that it is actually used to allow memory-mapping
but not a specific store type.
