Elasticsearch has long [supported](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html#index-versioning) compare and set (a.k.a optimistic concurrency control) operations using internal document versioning. Sadly that approach is flawed and can sometime do the wrong thing. Here's the relevant excerpt from the resiliency status page:
> When a primary has been partitioned away from the cluster there is a short period of time until it detects this. During that time it will continue indexing writes locally, thereby updating document versions. When it tries to replicate the operation, however, it will discover that it is partitioned away. It won’t acknowledge the write and will wait until the partition is resolved to negotiate with the master on how to proceed. The master will decide to either fail any replicas which failed to index the operations on the primary or tell the primary that it has to step down because a new primary has been chosen in the meantime. Since the old primary has already written documents, clients may already have read from the old primary before it shuts itself down. The version numbers of these reads may not be unique if the new primary has already accepted writes for the same document
We recently [introduced](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.x/optimistic-concurrency-control.html) a new sequence number based approach that doesn't suffer from this dirty reads problem.
This commit removes support for internal versioning as a concurrency control mechanism in favor of the sequence number approach.

`CreateIndexRequest#source(Map<String, Object>, ... )`, which is used when
deserializing index creation requests, accidentally accepts mappings that are
nested twice under the type key (as described in the bug report #38266).
This in turn causes us to be too lenient in parsing typeless mappings. In
particular, we accept the following index creation request, even though it
should not contain the type key `_doc`:
```
PUT index?include_type_name=false
{
"mappings": {
"_doc": {
"properties": { ... }
}
}
}
```
There is a similar issue for both 'put templates' and 'put mappings' requests
as well.
This PR makes the minimal changes to detect and reject these typed mappings in
requests. It does not address #38266 generally, or attempt a larger refactor
around types in these server-side requests, as I think this should be done at a
later time.
With this change we no longer support pluggable discovery implementations. No
known implementations of `DiscoveryPlugin` actually override this method, so in
practice this should have no effect on the wider world. However, we were using
this rather extensively in tests to provide the `test-zen` discovery type. We
no longer need a separate discovery type for tests as we no longer need to
customise its behaviour.

Renames the following settings to remove the mention of `zen` in their names:
- `discovery.zen.hosts_provider` -> `discovery.seed_providers`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.concurrent_connects` -> `discovery.seed_resolver.max_concurrent_resolvers`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts.resolve_timeout` -> `discovery.seed_resolver.timeout`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts` -> `discovery.seed_addresses`
X-Pack security supports built-in authentication service
`token-service` that allows access tokens to be used to
access Elasticsearch without using Basic authentication.
The tokens are generated by `token-service` based on
OAuth2 spec. The access token is a short-lived token
(defaults to 20m) and refresh token with a lifetime of 24 hours,
making them unsuitable for long-lived or recurring tasks where
the system might go offline thereby failing refresh of tokens.
This commit introduces a built-in authentication service
`api-key-service` that adds support for long-lived tokens aka API
keys to access Elasticsearch. The `api-key-service` is consulted
after `token-service` in the authentication chain. By default,
if TLS is enabled then `api-key-service` is also enabled.
The service can be disabled using the configuration setting.
The API keys:-
- by default do not have an expiration but expiration can be
configured where the API keys need to be expired after a
certain amount of time.
- when generated will keep authentication information of the user that
generated them.
- can be defined with a role describing the privileges for accessing
Elasticsearch and will be limited by the role of the user that
generated them
- can be invalidated via invalidation API
- information can be retrieved via a get API
- that have been expired or invalidated will be retained for 1 week
before being deleted. The expired API keys remover task handles this.
Following are the API key management APIs:-
1. Create API Key - `PUT/POST /_security/api_key`
2. Get API key(s) - `GET /_security/api_key`
3. Invalidate API Key(s) `DELETE /_security/api_key`
The API keys can be used to access Elasticsearch using `Authorization`
header, where the auth scheme is `ApiKey` and the credentials, is the
base64 encoding of API key Id and API key separated by a colon.
Example:-
```
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey YXBpLWtleS1pZDphcGkta2V5" http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health
```
Closes#34383
As mapping types are being removed throughout Elasticsearch, the use of
`_type` in pipeline simulation requests is deprecated. Additionally, the
default `_type` used if one is not supplied has been changed to `_doc` for
consistency with the rest of Elasticsearch.
Coalesces two calls into one in a scroll example so all callouts are at
the end of the line. This is the only sort of callouts that are
supported by asciidoctor and we'd like to start building our docs with
asciidoctor.
At present we don't have any mechanism to stop folks adding more inline
callouts but we ought to be able to have one in a few weeks. For now,
though, removing these inline callouts is a step in the right direction.

Reduces the leader and follower check timeout to 3 * 10 = 30s instead of 3 * 30 = 90s, with 30s still
being a very long time for a node to be completely unresponsive.
This adds a dedicated field mapper that supports nanosecond resolution -
at the price of a reduced date range.
When using the date field mapper, the time is stored as milliseconds since the epoch
in a long in lucene. This field mapper stores the time in nanoseconds
since the epoch - which means its range is much smaller, ranging roughly from
1970 to 2262.
Note that aggregations will still be in milliseconds.
However docvalue fields will have full nanosecond resolution

Introduce client-side sorting of groups based on aggregate
functions. To allow this, the Analyzer has been extended to push down
to underlying Aggregate, aggregate function and the Querier has been
extended to identify the case and consume the results in order and sort
them based on the given columns.
The underlying QueryContainer has been slightly modified to allow a view
of the underlying values being extracted as the columns used for sorting
might not be requested by the user.
The PR also adds minor tweaks, mainly related to tree output.

Because concurrent sync requests from a primary to its replicas could be
in flight, it can be the case that an older retention leases collection
arrives and is processed on the replica after a newer retention leases
collection has arrived and been processed. Without a defense, in this
case the replica would overwrite the newer retention leases with the
older retention leases. This commit addresses this issue by introducing
a versioning scheme to retention leases. This versioning scheme is used
to resolve out-of-order processing on the replica. We persist this
version into Lucene and restore it on recovery. The encoding of
retention leases is starting to get a little ugly. We can consider
addressing this in a follow-up.
There are a two major features that are not yet supported by BKD Backed geo_shape: MultiPoint queries, and CONTAINS relation. It is important we are explicitly clear in the documentation that using the new approach may not work for users that depend on these features. This commit adds an IMPORTANT NOTE section to geo_shape docs that explicitly highlights these missing features and what should be done if they are an absolute necessity.
In 7.x Java timestamp formats are the default timestamp format and
there is no need to prefix them with "8". (The "8" prefix was used
in 6.7 to distinguish Java timestamp formats from Joda timestamp
formats.)
This change removes the "8" prefixes from timestamp formats in the
output of the ML file structure finder.
This commit enables the use of TLSv1.3 with security by enabling us to
properly map `TLSv1.3` in the supported protocols setting to the
algorithm for a SSLContext. Additionally, we also enable TLSv1.3 by
default on JDKs that support it.
An issue was uncovered with the MockWebServer when TLSv1.3 is used that
ultimately winds up in an endless loop when the client does not trust
the server's certificate. Due to this, SSLConfigurationReloaderTests
has been pinned to TLSv1.2.
Closes#32276
Currently aggregate functions can operate only directly on fields.
They cannot be used on top of scalar functions as painless scripting
is currently not supported.
With #37000 we made sure that fnial reduction is automatically disabled
whenever a localClusterAlias is provided with a SearchRequest.
While working on #37838, we found a scenario where we do need to set a
localClusterAlias yet we would like to perform a final reduction in the
remote cluster: when searching on a single remote cluster.
Relates to #32125
This commit adds support for a separate finalReduce flag to
SearchRequest and makes use of it in TransportSearchAction in case we
are searching against a single remote cluster.
This also makes sure that num_reduce_phases is correct when searching
against a single remote cluster: it makes little sense to return
`num_reduce_phases` set to `2`, which looks especially weird in case
the search was performed against a single remote shard. We should
perform one reduction phase only in this case and `num_reduce_phases`
should reflect that.

This change forbids negative field boost in the `query_string`, `simple_query_string`
and `multi_match` queries.
Negative boosts are not allowed in Lucene 8 (scores must be positive).
The backport of this change to 6x will turn the error into a deprecation warning
in order to raise the awareness of this breaking change in 7.0.
Closes#33309
In 6.3 trial licenses were changed to default to security
disabled, and ee added some heuristics to detect when security should
be automatically be enabled if `xpack.security.enabled` was not set.
This change removes those heuristics, and requires that security be
explicitly enabled (via the `xpack.security.enabled` setting) for
trial licenses.

Implements `geotile_grid` aggregation
This patch refactors previous implementation https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/30240
This code uses the same base classes as `geohash_grid` agg, but uses a different hashing
algorithm to allow zoom consistency. Each grid bucket is aligned to Web Mercator tiles.
When the ingest node user agent parses the device field, it
will result in a string value. To match the ecs schema
this commit moves the value of the parsed device to an
object with an inner field named 'name'. There are not
any passivity concerns since this modifies an unreleased change.

FIRST and LAST can be used with one argument and work similarly to MIN
and MAX but they are implemented using a Top Hits aggregation and
therefore can also operate on keyword fields. When a second argument is
provided then they return the first/last value of the first arg when its
values are ordered ascending/descending (respectively) by the values of
the second argument. Currently because of the usage of a Top Hits
aggregation FIRST and LAST cannot be used in the HAVING clause of a
GROUP BY query to filter on the results of the aggregation.
Closes: #35639
With #37566 we have introduced the ability to merge multiple search responses into one. That makes it possible to expose a new way of executing cross-cluster search requests, that makes CCS much faster whenever there is network latency between the CCS coordinating node and the remote clusters. The coordinating node can now send a single search request to each remote cluster, which gets reduced by each one of them. from + size results are requested to each cluster, and the reduce phase in each cluster is non final (meaning that buckets are not pruned and pipeline aggs are not executed). The CCS coordinating node performs an additional, final reduction, which produces one search response out of the multiple responses received from the different clusters.
This new execution path will be activated by default for any CCS request unless a scroll is provided or inner hits are requested as part of field collapsing. The search API accepts now a new parameter called ccs_minimize_roundtrips that allows to opt-out of the default behaviour.

* Added SSL configuration options tests
Removed the allow.self.signed option from the documentation since we allow
by default self signed certificates as well.
* Added more tests
Today we pass `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes` to nodes started up in
tests, but for 7.x nodes this setting is not required as it has no effect.
This commit removes this setting so that nodes are started with more realistic
configurations, and deprecates it.
* Add ECS schema for user-agent ingest processor (#37727)
This switches the format of the user agent processor to use the schema from [ECS](https://github.com/elastic/ecs).

"os_minor" : "14",
"os_major" : "10",
"name" : "Chrome",
"os_name" : "Mac OS X",
"device" : "Other"
}
```
The structure is now like this:
```

Doc-value fields now return a value that is based on the mappings rather than
the script implementation by default.
This deprecates the special `use_field_mapping` docvalue format which was added
in #29639 only to ease the transition to 7.x and it is not necessary anymore in
7.0.
Currently if you mix typed templates and typeless index creation or typeless
templates and typed index creation then you will end up with an error because
Elasticsearch tries to create an index that has multiple types: `_doc` and
the explicit type name that you used.
This commit proposes to give precedence to the index creation call so that
the type from the template will be ignored if the index creation call is
typeless while the template is typed, and the type from the index creation
call will be used if there is a typeless template.
This is consistent with the fact that index creation already "wins" if a field
is defined differently in the index creation call and in a template: the
definition from the index creation call is used in such cases.

This commit adds classifiers to the distributions indicating the
OS (for archives) and platform. The current OSes are for windows, darwin (ie
macos) and linux. This change will allow future OS/architecture specific
changes to the distributions. Note the docs using distribution links
have been updated, but will be reworked in a followup to make OS
specific instructions for the archives.
Restricted indices (currently only .security-6 and .security) are special
internal indices that require setting the `allow_restricted_indices` flag
on every index permission that covers them. If this flag is `false`
(default) the permission will not cover these and actions against them
will not be authorized.
However, the monitoring APIs were the only exception to this rule.
This exception is herein forfeited and index monitoring privileges have to be
granted explicitly, using the `allow_restricted_indices` flag on the permission,
as is the case for any other index privilege.
* Update the top-level 'getting started' guide.
* Remove custom types from the painless getting started documentation.
* Fix an incorrect references to '_doc' in the cardinality query docs.
* Update the _update docs to use the typeless API format.
This commit modifies the put follow index action to use a
CcrRepository when creating a follower index. It routes
the logic through the snapshot/restore process. A
wait_for_active_shards parameter can be used to configure
how long to wait before returning the response.
