This commit adds a new single value metric aggregation that calculates
the statistic called median absolute deviation, which is a measure of
variability that works on more types of data than standard deviation
Our calculation of MAD is approximated using t-digests. In the collect
phase, we collect each value visited into a t-digest. In the reduce
phase, we merge all value t-digests, then create a t-digest of
deviations using the first t-digest's median and centroids
When combine_script and reduce_script were made into required
parameters for Scripted Metric aggregations in #33452, the docs were
not updated to reflect that. This marks those parameters as required
in the documentation.
* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
We generate tests from our documentation, including assertions about the
responses returned by a particular API. But sometimes we *can't* assert
that the response is correct because of some defficiency in our tooling.
Previously we marked the response `// NOTCONSOLE` to skip it, but this
is kind of odd because `// NOTCONSOLE` is really to mark snippets that
are json but aren't requests or responses. This introduces a new
construct to skip response assertions:
```
// TESTRESPONSE[skip:reason we skipped this]
```
This commit switches the joda time backcompat in scripting to use
augmentation over ZonedDateTime. The augmentation methods provide
compatibility with the missing methods between joda's DateTime and
java's ZonedDateTime. Due to getDayOfWeek returning an enum in the java
API, ZonedDateTime is wrapped so that the method can return int like the
joda time does. The java time api version is renamed to
getDayOfWeekEnum, which will be kept through 7.x for compatibility while
users switch back to getDayOfWeek once joda compatibility is removed.
The main benefit of the upgrade for users is the search optimization for top scored documents when the total hit count is not needed. However this optimization is not activated in this change, there is another issue opened to discuss how it should be integrated smoothly.
Some comments about the change:
* Tests that can produce negative scores have been adapted but we need to forbid them completely: #33309Closes#32899
We used to set `maxScore` to `0` within `TopDocs` in situations where there is really no score as the size was set to `0` and scores were not even tracked. In such scenarios, `Float.Nan` is more appropriate, which gets converted to `max_score: null` on the REST layer. That's also more consistent with lucene which set `maxScore` to `Float.Nan` when merging empty `TopDocs` (see `TopDocs#merge`).
This commit adds a boolean system property, `es.scripting.use_java_time`,
which controls the concrete return type used by doc values within
scripts. The return type of accessing doc values for a date field is
changed to Object, essentially duck typing the type to allow
co-existence during the transition from joda time to java time.
Adds a new single-value metrics aggregation that computes the weighted
average of numeric values that are extracted from the aggregated
documents. These values can be extracted from specific numeric
fields in the documents.
When calculating a regular average, each datapoint has an equal "weight"; it
contributes equally to the final value. In contrast, weighted averages
scale each datapoint differently. The amount that each datapoint contributes
to the final value is extracted from the document, or provided by a script.
As a formula, a weighted average is the `∑(value * weight) / ∑(weight)`
A regular average can be thought of as a weighted average where every value has
an implicit weight of `1`.
Closes#15731
* Adds a new auto-interval date histogram
This change adds a new type of histogram aggregation called `auto_date_histogram` where you can specify the target number of buckets you require and it will find an appropriate interval for the returned buckets. The aggregation works by first collecting documents in buckets at second interval, when it has created more than the target number of buckets it merges these buckets into minute interval bucket and continues collecting until it reaches the target number of buckets again. It will keep merging buckets when it exceeds the target until either collection is finished or the highest interval (currently years) is reached. A similar process happens at reduce time.
This aggregation intentionally does not support min_doc_count, offest and extended_bounds to keep the already complex logic from becoming more complex. The aggregation accepts sub-aggregations but will always operate in `breadth_first` mode deferring the computation of sub-aggregations until the final buckets from the shard are known. min_doc_count is effectively hard-coded to zero meaning that we will insert empty buckets where necessary.
Closes#9572
* Adds documentation
* Added sub aggregator test

This gives us more options at reduce time in terms of how we do the
final merge of the buckeets to produce the final result
* Revert "Collects more buckets than needed on shards"
This reverts commit 993c782d117892af9a3c86a51921cdee630a3ac5.
* Adds ability to merge within a rounding
* Fixes nonn-timezone doc test failure
* Fix time zone tests
* iterates on tests
* Adds test case and documentation changes
Added some notes in the documentation about the intervals that can bbe
returned.
Also added a test case that utilises the merging of conseecutive buckets
* Fixes performance bug
The bug meant that getAppropriate rounding look a huge amount of time
if the range of the data was large but also sparsely populated. In
these situations the rounding would be very low so iterating through
the rounding values from the min key to the max keey look a long time
(~120 seconds in one test).
The solution is to add a rough estimate first which chooses the
rounding based just on the long values of the min and max keeys alone
but selects the rounding one lower than the one it thinks is
appropriate so the accurate method can choose the final rounding taking
into account the fact that intervals are not always fixed length.
Thee commit also adds more tests
* Changes to only do complex reduction on final reduce
* merge latest with master
* correct tests and add a new test case for 10k buckets
* refactor to perform bucket number check in innerBuild

This change adds a new option to the composite aggregation named `missing_bucket`.
This option can be set by source and dictates whether documents without a value for the
source should be ignored. When set to true, documents without a value for a field emits
an explicit `null` value which is then added in the composite bucket.
The `missing` option that allows to set an explicit value (instead of `null`) is deprecated in this change and will be removed in a follow up (only in 7.x).
This commit also changes how the big arrays are allocated, instead of reserving
the provided `size` for all sources they are created with a small intial size and they grow
depending on the number of buckets created by the aggregation:
Closes#29380
This pipeline aggregation gives the user the ability to script functions that "move" across a window
of data, instead of single data points. It is the scripted version of MovingAvg pipeline agg.
Through custom script contexts, we expose a number of convenience methods:
- MovingFunctions.max()
- MovingFunctions.min()
- MovingFunctions.sum()
- MovingFunctions.unweightedAvg()
- MovingFunctions.linearWeightedAvg()
- MovingFunctions.ewma()
- MovingFunctions.holt()
- MovingFunctions.holtWinters()
- MovingFunctions.stdDev()
The user can also define any arbitrary logic via their own scripting, or combine with the above methods.
This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
Adding some allowed abbreviated values for intervals in date histograms
as well as documenting the limitations of intervals larger than days.
Closes#23294
This change refactors the composite aggregation to add an execution mode that visits documents in the order of the values
present in the leading source of the composite definition. This mode does not need to visit all documents since it can early terminate
the collection when the leading source value is greater than the lowest value in the queue.
Instead of collecting the documents in the order of their doc_id, this mode uses the inverted lists (or the bkd tree for numerics) to collect documents
in the order of the values present in the leading source.
For instance the following aggregation:
```
"composite" : {
"sources" : [
{ "value1": { "terms" : { "field": "timestamp", "order": "asc" } } }
],
"size": 10
}
```
... can use the field `timestamp` to collect the documents with the 10 lowest values for the field instead of visiting all documents.
For composite aggregation with more than one source the execution can early terminate as soon as one of the 10 lowest values produces enough
composite buckets. For instance if visiting the first two lowest timestamp created 10 composite buckets we can early terminate the collection since it
is guaranteed that the third lowest timestamp cannot create a composite key that compares lower than the one already visited.
This mode can execute iff:
* The leading source in the composite definition uses an indexed field of type `date` (works also with `date_histogram` source), `integer`, `long` or `keyword`.
* The query is a match_all query or a range query over the field that is used as the leading source in the composite definition.
* The sort order of the leading source is the natural order (ascending since postings and numerics are sorted in ascending order only).
If these conditions are not met this aggregation visits each document like any other agg.
* Add a REST integration test that documents date_range support
Add a test case that exercises date_range aggregations using the missing
option.
Addresses #17597
* Test cleanup and correction
Adding a document with a null date to exercise `missing` option, update
test name to something reasonable.
* Update documentation to explain how the "missing" parameter works for
date_range aggregations.
* Wrap lines at 80 chars in docs.
* Change format of test to YAML for readability.
Adds a usage example of the JLH score used in significant terms aggregation.
All other methods to calculate significance score have such an example
