After the removal of the joda time hack we used to have, we can cleanup
the codebase handling in security, jarhell and plugins to be more picky
about uniqueness. This was originally in #18959 which was never merged.

Today when users start Elasticsearch with their Java configuration
pointing to a pre-Java 8 install, they encounter a cryptic message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
org/elasticsearch/bootstrap/Elasticsearch : Unsupported major.minor
version 52.0
They often think that they have Java 8 installed but if their JAVA_HOME
or other configuration is causing them to start with a pre-Java 8
install, this error message does not help them.
We introduce a Java version checker that runs on Java 6 as part of the
startup scripts. If the Java version is pre-Java 8, we can display a
helpful error message to the user informing them of the Java version
that the runtime was started with. Otherwise, Elasticsearch starts as it
does today.
By default, the JVM GC log file grows without
limitation. This is inconvenient for a long running
process like Elasticsearch.
With this commit we add an example configuration
for a rotating GC log in `conig/jvm.options`.
For certain situations, end-users need the base path for Elasticsearch
logs. Exposing this as a property is better than hard-coding the path
into the logging configuration file as otherwise the logging
configuration file could easily diverge from the Elasticsearch
configuration file. Additionally, Elasticsearch will only have
permissions to write to the log directory configured in the
Elasticsearch configuration file. This commit adds a property that
exposes this base path.
One use-case for this is configuring a rollover strategy to retain logs
for a certain period of time. As such, we add an example of this to the
documentation.
Additionally, we expose the property es.logs.cluster_name as this is
used as the name of the log files in the default configuration.
Finally, we expose es.logs.node_name in cases where node.name is
explicitly set in case users want to include the node name as part of
the name of the log files.

This commit reverts switching to the unpooled allocator (for now) to let
some benchmarks run to see if this is the source of an increase in GC
times.
Relates #22452
Netty plays a lot of games with recycling byte buffers in thread local
caches, and using a pooled byte buffer allocator to reduce pressure on
the garbage collector.
The recycler in particular appears to be fraught with peril. It appears
that there are circumstances where the recycler does not recycle quickly
enough and can exceed its capacity leading to heap exhaustion and out of
memory errors. If you spend a few minutes reading the history of the
recycler on the Netty GitHub issues, it appears it has been nothing but
a source of trouble, and the project itself has an open issue that
proposes disabling by default and possibly even removing the recycler.
The pooled byte buffer allocator has problems itself. It sizes the pool
based on the number of runtime processors and can indeed grab a very
large percentage of the heap (in some cases 50% or more). Additionally,
the Netty project continues to struggle with leaks here.
We are seeing users struggle with issues in 5.x that I think are largely
driven by some of the problems here with Netty.
This change proposes to disable the recycler, and to disable the pooled
byte buffer allocator. I think that disabling these features will return
some of the stablity that these features appear to be losing us.
I have done performance testing on my workstation with disabling these
and I do not see a difference in performance. I propose that we make
this change in master and let some nightly benchmarks run to confirm
that there is not a difference in performance. If we are comfortable
with the performance changes, I propose backporting this to all active
branches.

This change is the first towards providing the ability to store
sensitive settings in elasticsearch. It adds the
`elasticsearch-keystore` tool, which allows managing a java keystore.
The keystore is loaded upon node startup in Elasticsearch, and used by
the Setting infrastructure when a setting is configured as secure.
There are a lot of caveats to this PR. The most important is it only
provides the tool and setting infrastructure for secure strings. It does
not yet provide for keystore passwords, keypairs, certificates, or even
convert any existing string settings to secure string settings. Those
will all come in follow up PRs. But this PR was already too big, so this
at least gets a basic version of the infrastructure in.
The two main things to look at. The first is the `SecureSetting` class,
which extends `Setting`, but removes the assumption for the raw value of the
setting to be a string. SecureSetting provides, for now, a single
helper, `stringSetting()` to create a SecureSetting which will return a
SecureString (which is like String, but is closeable, so that the
underlying character array can be cleared). The second is the
`KeyStoreWrapper` class, which wraps the java `KeyStore` to provide a
simpler api (we do not need the entire keystore api) and also extend
the serialized format to add metadata needed for loading the keystore
with no assumptions about keystore type (so that we can change this in
the future) as well as whether the keystore has a password (so that we
can know whether prompting is necessary when we add support for keystore
passwords).
A previous fix for the handling of paths on Windows related to paths
containing multiple spaces introduced a issue where if JAVA_HOME ends
with a backslash, then Elasticsearch will refuse to start. This is not a
critical bug as a workaround exists (remove the trailing backslash), but
should be fixed nevertheless. This commit addresses this situation while
not regressing the previous fix.

This commit fixes the handling of spaces in Windows paths. The current

Elasticsearch can be run in a few different ways:
- from the command line on Linux and Windows
- as a service on Linux and Windows
on both 32-bit client and 64-bit server VMs. We strive for a great
out-of-the-box experience any of these combinations but today it is
lacking on 32-bit client JVMs and on the Windows service. There are two
deficiencies that arise:
- on any 32-bit client JVM we fail to start out of the box because we
force the server JVM in jvm.options
- when installing the Windows service, the thread stack size must be
specified in jvm.options
This commit attempts to address these deficiencies.
We should continue to force the server JVM because there are systems
where the server JVM is not active by default (e.g., the 32-bit JDK on
Windows). This does mean that if a user tries to run with a client JVM
they will see a failure message at startup but this is the best that we
can do if we want to continue to force the server JVM. Thus, this commit
at least documents this situation.
To improve the situation with installing the Windows service, this
commit adds a default setting for the thread stack size. This default is
chosen based on the default thread stack size across all 64-bit server
JVMs. This means that if a user tries to run with a 32-bit JVM they
could otherwise see significantly higher memory usage (this situation is
complicated, it's really only on Windows where the extra memory usage is
egregious, but cutting into the 32-bit address space on any system is
bad). So this commit makes it so that the out-of-the-box experience is
improved for the Windows service on 64-bit server JVMs and we document
the need to adjust this setting on 32-bit JVMs.
Again, we are focusing on the out-of-the-box experience here and this
means optimizing for the best experience on any 64-bit server JVM as
this covers the vast majority of the user base. The users that are on
32-bit JVMs will suffer a little bit but at least now any user on any
64-bit server JVM can start Elasticsearch out of the box.
Finally, we fix some references to the jvm.options documentation.

Our default pattern layout truncates log messages. This is to avoid

On some systems these utilities are in /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl
and /usr/sbin/sysctl, and on others the /usr is dropped. This commit
accounts for that fact.
Our docs claim that we set vm.max_map_count automatically. This is not
quite the case. The story is that on SysV init we set vm.max_map_count
each time the service starts, which is good. On systemd, we create a
sysctl.d conf file that sets vm.map_max_count, but this is only
meaningful if the system is rebooted after package install. This commit
modifies the post-install script so that we run systemd-sysctl so that
the vm.max_map_count change occurs after package install without a
reboot.

When upgrading elasticsearch using the RPM package, the scripts directory is removed if it's empty but it won't be recreated by the upgraded package. But after that the service won't start because the scripts dir is missing.
This commit modifies the logger names within Elasticsearch to be the
fully-qualified class name as opposed removing the org.elasticsearch
prefix and dropping the class name. This change separates the root
logger from the Elasticsearch loggers (they were equated from the
removal of the org.elasticsearch prefix) and enables log levels to be
set at the class level (instead of the package level).
Relates #20457
Today we add a prefix when logging within Elasticsearch. This prefix
contains the node name, and index and shard-level components if
appropriate.
Due to some implementation details with Log4j 2 , this does not work for
integration tests; instead what we see is the node name for the last
node to startup. The implementation detail here is that Log4j 2 there is
only one logger for a name, message factory pair, and the key derived
from the message factory is the class name of the message factory. So,
when the last node starts up and starts setting prefixes on its message
factories, it will impact the loggers for the other nodes.
Additionally, the prefixes are lost when logging an exception. This is
due to another implementation detail in Log4j 2. Namely, since we log
exceptions using a parameterized message, Log4j 2 decides that that
means that we do not want to use the message factory that we have
provided (the prefix message factory) and so logs the exception without
the prefix.
This commit fixes both of these issues.

This commit adds a -q/--quiet option to Elasticsearch so that it does not log anything in the console and closes stdout & stderr streams.

The Elasticsearch startup scripts contain checks for the presence of
support for environment variables that were removed in the 5.x

This commit renames the function that parses JVM options in

This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and

custom JVM options.
This commit quotes the variable that contains the path to the java

This commit fixes the pidfile setting on systems that used systemd. The
issue is that the pidfile can only be set via the command line arguments
-p or --pidfile, and is no longer settable via a setting.
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".

The plugin cli currently is extremely lenient, allowing most errors to
simply be logged. This can lead to either corrupt installations (eg
partially installed plugins), or confused users.
This change rewrites the plugin cli to have almost no leniency.
Unfortunately it was not possible to remove all leniency, due in
particular to how config files are handled.
The following functionality was simplified:
* The format of the name argument to install a plugin is now an official
plugin name, maven coordinates, or a URL.
* Checksum files are required, and only checked, for official plugins
and maven plugins. Checksums are also only SHA1.
* Downloading no longer uses a separate thread, and no longer has a timeout.
* Installation, and removal, attempts to be atomic. This only truly works
when no config or bin files exist.
* config and bin directories are verified before copying is attempted.
* Permissions and user/group are no longer set on config and bin files.
We rely on the users umask.
* config and bin directories must only contain files, no subdirectories.
* The code is reorganized so each command is a separate class. These
classes already existed, but were embedded in the plugin cli class, as
an extra layer between the cli code and the code running for each command.
This commit modifies the default setting for standard output in the
systemd configuration to the journal instead of /dev/null. This is to
address a user pain point where Elasticsearch would fail to start but
the error message would be sent to standard output and therefore
/dev/null leading to difficult-to-debug situations.
This makes some minor improvements (does not fix all problems!)
It reorders unicast disco in elasticsearch.yml to be right after the network host,
for better locality.
It removes the warning (unreleased) about publish addresses, lets try to really discourage setting
that unless you need to (behind a proxy server). Most people should be fine with `network.host`
Finally it reorganizes the network docs page a bit:
We add a table of 4 "basic" settings at the very beginning:
* network.host
* discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts
* http.port
* transport.tcp.port
The first two being the most important, which addresses to bind and talk to, and the other two
being the port numbers.
The rest of the stuff I tried to simplify and reorder under "advanced" headers.
This is just a quick stab, I still think we need more effort into this thing, but we gotta start somewhere.
This change removes the leftover pom files. A couple files were left for

Nuke ES_CLASSPATH appending
Out of box, ES expects its stuff to be in particular places. We should not be appending to ES_CLASSPATH, allowing users to specify stuff there, like we do in elasticsearch.bin.sh
If the user sets it, its not going to work out of box.

Fail hard on empty classpath elements.
This can happen easily, if somehow old 1.x shellscripts survive and try to launch 2.x code.
I have the feeling this happens maybe because of packaging upgrades or something.
Either way: we can just fail hard and clear in this situation, rather than the current situation
where CWD might be /, and we might traverse the entire filesystem until we hit an error...
Relates to #13864
By default, our security stuff will reject this (as do other apps).
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jayatana/+bug/1441487
However its not really the user's fault, ubuntu screws up here by
installing this agent by default. We don't want any agents.
So instead, we drop it like this:
```
$ bin/elasticsearch

Closes#13785
... and run as client VM.
Reasoning: When calling the plugin manager on java 7 with additional JAVA_OPTS
that change heap configuration compared to what is set at the plugin
manager shell script. This resulted in errors.
This commit removes the JAVA_OPTS and ES_JAVA_OPTS from the plugin
manager call to prevent those settings.
Closes#12479
This commit addresses several bugs that prevented the Windows
service from being started or stopped:
- Extra white space in the concatenation of java options in
elasticsearch.in.bat which tripped up Apache Commons Daemon
and caused ES to startup without any params, eventually leading
to the "path.home is not configured" exception.
- service.bat was not passing the start argument to ES
- The service could not be stopped gracefully via the stop command
because there wasn't a method for procrun to call.
Closes#13247Closes#13401
The `-Xloggc:filename.log` parameter has very strict filename semantics:
```
[A-Z][a-z][0-9]-_.%[p|t]
```
Our script specifies \" and \" to surround it, which makes Java think we
are sending: -Xloggc:"foo.log" and it fails with:
```
Invalid file name for use with -Xloggc: Filename can only contain the characters [A-Z][a-z][0-9]-_.%[p|t] but it has been "foo.log"
Note %p or %t can only be used once
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
```
We can't quote this, and we should not need to since the valid
characters don't include a space character, so we don't need to worry
about quoting.
Resolves#13277
Multicast has known issues (see #12999 and #12993). This change moves
multicast into a plugin, and deprecates it in the docs. It also allows
for plugging in multiple zen ping implementations.

Handle node mode across entire test cluster
We used static methods reading sys properties to define the node mode
per cluster. this had lots of problems when tests couldn't cope with
mixed or only local mode. Now we are passing it down to the cluster from the test
which allows to @SuppressNetworkMode / @SupressLocalMode on the test to force
consistent node configurations.

Default to unicast discovery, with default host list of 127.0.0.1, [::1]
Systemd looks to be a bit less tolerant about $VAR than bash is. Replace
$VAR with ${VAR} in places in the systemd configuration file to get the
substitutions working.
Users with IPv6 preferred over IPv4 may have `localhost` resolve to
`::1` instead of `127.0.0.1`, so we should be explicit so they don't run
into issues.
the default classloader. It had all kinds of leniency in how the
classname was found, and simply cannot work with plugins having isolated
classloaders.
This change removes that method. Some of the uses of it were for custom
extension points, like custom repository or discovery types. A lot were
just there to plugin mock implementations for tests. For the settings
that were legitimate, all now support plugins adding the given setting
via onModule. For those that were specific to tests for mocks, they now
use Classes.loadClass (a helper around Class.forName). This is a
temporary measure until (in a future PR) tests can change the
implementation via package private statics.
I also removed a number of unnecessary intermediate modules, added a
"jvm-example" plugin that can be filled in in the future as a smoke test
for breaking plugins, and gave some documentation to "spawn" modules
interface.

This creates a module in qa called vagrant that can be run if you have
vagrant and virtualbox installed and will run the packaging tests in trusty
and centos-7.0. You can ask it to run tests in other linuxes. This is the full
list:
* precise aka Ubuntu 12.04
* trusty aka Ubuntu 14.04
* vivid aka Ubuntun 15.04
* wheezy aka Debian 7, the current debian oldstable distribution
* jessie aka Debian 8, the current debina stable distribution
* centos-6
* centos-7
* fedora-22
* oel-7
There is lots of documentation on how to do this in the TESTING.asciidoc.
Closes#12611
When installed as a service with a DEB or RPM package, we should gently wait for elasticsearch to stop (flushing indices on closing can take some time) and never kill the process.
Closes#11248
Bats testing uncovered a useless systemctl check, that resulted in an
error, because the systemctl file was uninstalled, but we hoped to
check for an explicetely configured SystemExitCode.
In addition we did not reload the systemctl configuration when uninstalling
elasticsearch, which now is fixed as well.
Closes#12682
In order to ensure, we have the same experience across operating systems
and shells, this commit uses the java CLI parser instead of the shell
getopt parsing to parse arguments.
This also allows for support for paths, which contain spaces.
Also commons-cli depdency was upgraded to 1.3.1 and tests have been added.
Changes
* new exit code, OK_AND_EXIT, allowing to tell the caller to exit, as everything
went as expected (e.g. when running a version output)
BWC breaking:
* execute() returns an ExitStatus instead of an integer, otherwise there is no
possibility to signal by a command, if the JVM should be exited after a run.
This affects plugins, that have command line tools
* -v used to be version, but is a verbose flag by default in the current CLI infra,
must be -V or --version now
* -X has been removed - the current implementation was useless anyway, as
it prefixed those properties with "es.". You should use
ES_JAVA_OPTS/JAVA_OPTS for JVM configuration
This change creates a proper `distribution` modules in which we have today packaging for
all of our four current packages:
* zip
* tar.gz
* rpm
* deb
Licenes have moved into the distribution project as well. So have the config/ and the bin/ directory
from the core/ project.
The RPM package is now built, if rpmbuild exists.
The bats tests have been moved as well.
Also the zip distribution now executes the REST integration tests.
