* Add ILM histore store index (#50287)
* Add ILM histore store index
This commit adds an ILM history store that tracks the lifecycle
execution state as an index progresses through its ILM policy. ILM
history documents store output similar to what the ILM explain API
returns.
An example document with ALL fields (not all documents will have all
fields) would look like:
```json
{
"@timestamp": 1203012389,
"policy": "my-ilm-policy",
"index": "index-2019.1.1-000023",
"index_age":123120,
"success": true,
"state": {
"phase": "warm",
"action": "allocate",
"step": "ERROR",
"failed_step": "update-settings",
"is_auto-retryable_error": true,
"creation_date": 12389012039,
"phase_time": 12908389120,
"action_time": 1283901209,
"step_time": 123904107140,
"phase_definition": "{\"policy\":\"ilm-history-ilm-policy\",\"phase_definition\":{\"min_age\":\"0ms\",\"actions\":{\"rollover\":{\"max_size\":\"50gb\",\"max_age\":\"30d\"}}},\"version\":1,\"modified_date_in_millis\":1576517253463}",
"step_info": "{... etc step info here as json ...}"
},
"error_details": "java.lang.RuntimeException: etc\n\tcaused by:etc etc etc full stacktrace"
}
```
These documents go into the `ilm-history-1-00000N` index to provide an
audit trail of the operations ILM has performed.
This history storage is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting
`index.lifecycle.history_index_enabled` to `false.`

* Make ILMHistoryStore.putAsync truly async (#50403)
This moves the `putAsync` method in `ILMHistoryStore` never to block.
Previously due to the way that the `BulkProcessor` works, it was possible
for `BulkProcessor#add` to block executing a bulk request. This was bad
as we may be adding things to the history store in cluster state update
threads.
This also moves the index creation to be done prior to the bulk request
execution, rather than being checked every time an operation was added
to the queue. This lessens the chance of the index being created, then
deleted (by some external force), and then recreated via a bulk indexing
request.
Resolves#50353
Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.
Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.
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.
* 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.
Rollover should not swap aliases when `is_write_index` is set to `true`.
Instead, both the new and old indices should have the rollover alias,
with the newly created index as the new write index
Updates Rollover to leverage the ability to preserve aliases and swap which is the write index.
Historically, Rollover would swap which index had the designated alias for writing documents against. This required users to keep a separate read-alias that enabled reading against both rolled over and newly created indices, whiles the write-alias was being re-assigned at every rollover.
With the ability for aliases to designate a write index, Rollover can be a bit more flexible with its use of aliases.
Updates include:
- Rollover validates that the target alias has a write index (the index that is being rolled over). This means that the restriction that aliases only point to one index is no longer necessary.
- Rollover explicitly (and atomically) swaps which index is the write-index by explicitly assigning the existing index to have `is_write_index: false` and have the newly created index have its rollover alias as `is_write_index: true`. This is only done when `is_write_index: true` on the write index. Default behavior of removing the alias from the rolled over index stays when `is_write_index` is not explicitly set
Relevant things that are staying the same:
- Rollover is rejected if there exist any templates that match the newly-created index and configure the rollover-alias
- I think this existed to prevent the situation where an alias pointed to two indices for a short while. Although this can technically be relaxed, the specific cases that are safe are really particular and difficult to reason, so leaving the broad restriction sounds good
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.

Today we try to pull stats from index writer but we do not get a
consistent view of stats. Under heavy indexing, this inconsistency can
be very skewed indeed. In particular, it can lead to the number of
deleted docs being reported as negative and this leads to serialization
issues. Instead, we should provide a consistent view of the stats by
using an index reader.
