The file structure finder endpoint can find the NDJSON
(newline-delimited JSON) file format, but called it
`json`. This change renames the `format` for this file
structure to `ndjson`, which is more precise and will
hopefully avoid confusion.
The ingest pipeline that is produced is very simple. It
contains a grok processor if the format is semi-structured
text, a date processor if the format contains a timestamp,
and a remove processor if required to remove the interim
timestamp field parsed out of semi-structured text.
Eventually the UI should offer the option to customize the
pipeline with additional processors to perform other data
preparation steps before ingesting data to an index.
This change fixes a potential deadlock problem in the unit
test introduced in #34117.
It also removes a piece of debug code and corrects a docs
formatting problem that were both added in that same PR.
This can be used to restrict the amount of CPU a single
structure finder request can use.
The timeout is not implemented precisely, so requests
may run for slightly longer than the timeout before
aborting.
The default is 25 seconds, which is a little below
Kibana's default timeout of 30 seconds for calls to
Elasticsearch APIs.
Previously the timestamp_formats field in the response
from the find_file_structure endpoint contained Joda
timestamp formats. This change makes that clear by
renaming the field to joda_timestamp_formats, and also
adds a java_timestamp_formats field containing the
equivalent Java time format strings.
Previously numeric values in the field_stats created by the
find_file_structure endpoint were always output with a
decimal point. This looked unfriendly and unnatural for
fields that clearly store integer values. This change
converts integer values to type Integer before output in
the file structure field stats.
