Since the bundled jdk was added to Elasticsearch, there are now 2 ways
java can be missing. Either JAVA_HOME is set but does not exist, or the
bundled jdk does not exist. This commit improves the error messages in
those two cases, and also ensures our tests cover both cases.
This commit removes a use of Setting#getRaw from the deprecation header
tests. The use of Setting#getRaw is not needed here, the x-content
infrastructure will take care of emitting the appropriate values here,
and so the caller does not need to convert these to string
representations of the settings values.
The archives stopElasticsearch utility method sends SIGTERM to the
elasticsearch process, but does not wait for it to exit. That can cause
subsequent tests to sometimes file. This commit adds wait logic to both
linux and windows for the stopElasticsearch method.
closes#44501
The test for java home with special characters on linux would create a
temporary java home under /home/elasticsearch. But our packaging
assertions expect that to not exist. Unfortunately this would fail much
later when the checks were actually done in bats tests. This commit
fixes the linux test to match the behavior of windows, which links the
entire java directory, and now does it into a /tmp dir.
closes#45903
Backport of #45794 to 7.x. Convert most `awaitBusy` calls to
`assertBusy`, and use asserts where possible. Follows on from #28548 by
@liketic.
There were a small number of places where it didn't make sense to me to
call `assertBusy`, so I kept the existing calls but renamed the method to
`waitUntil`. This was partly to better reflect its usage, and partly so
that anyone trying to add a new call to awaitBusy wouldn't be able to find
it.
I also didn't change the usage in `TransportStopRollupAction` as the
comments state that the local awaitBusy method is a temporary
copy-and-paste.
Other changes:
* Rework `waitForDocs` to scale its timeout. Instead of calling
`assertBusy` in a loop, work out a reasonable overall timeout and await
just once.
* Some tests failed after switching to `assertBusy` and had to be fixed.
* Correct the expect templates in AbstractUpgradeTestCase. The ES
Security team confirmed that they don't use templates any more, so
remove this from the expected templates. Also rewrite how the setup
code checks for templates, in order to give more information.
* Remove an expected ML template from XPackRestTestConstants The ML team
advised that the ML tests shouldn't be waiting for any
`.ml-notifications*` templates, since such checks should happen in the
production code instead.
* Also rework the template checking code in `XPackRestTestHelper` to give
more helpful failure messages.
* Fix issue in `DataFrameSurvivesUpgradeIT` when upgrading from < 7.4
This is the Java side of https://github.com/elastic/ml-cpp/pull/593
with a fallback so that ml-cpp bundles with either the
new or old directory structure work for the time being.
A few days after merging the C++ changes a followup to
this change will be made that removes the fallback.
Previously, queries on the _index field were not able to specify index aliases.
This was a regression in functionality compared to the 'indices' query that was
deprecated and removed in 6.0.
Now queries on _index can specify an alias, which is resolved to the concrete
index names when we check whether an index matches. To match a remote shard
target, the pattern needs to be of the form 'cluster:index' to match the
fully-qualified index name. Index aliases can be specified in the following query
types: term, terms, prefix, and wildcard.
If peer recovery happens after indexing, and indexing flushes some shard
at the end, then the explicit flush in the test will be a noop. Then
replicas will have some uncommitted translog , which is transferred in
peer recovery, although all of these operations are in the commit
already. If that replica becomes primary (after we restarted the
cluster), it will have translog to replay and the test will fail.
Another issue in this test is that synced_flush is not a replication
action, then the global checkpoint on replicas might be not up to date.
We need to either wait for the global checkpoint to be synced or call a
replication action to sync it.
Closes#46712
This test verifies automatic cancellation of search requests on connection close.
It was previously not present in 7.x as the http client was subject do a bug which
made testing cancellation of requests impossible. Now that the bug is fixed upstream,
we can also backport this test
This is a follow up of #19191 for 7.x.
This change adds a system property called "es.routing.search_ignore_awareness_attributes" that when set to true will
effectively ignore allocation awareness attributes when routing search and get requests. This is now the default in 8.x so this
commit adds a way to opt-in to this new behavior in a minor version of 7.x.

When the Elasticsearch process does not have write permissions to
upgrade the Elasticsearch keystore, we bail with an error message that
indicates there is a filesystem permissions problem. This commit
clarifies that error message by pointing out the directory where write
permissions are required, or that the user can also run the
elasticsearch-keystore upgrade command manually before starting the
Elasticsearch process. In this case, the upgrade would not be needed at
runtime, so the permissions would not be needed then.
We hit a bug where we can't partially update documents created in a
mixed cluster between 5.x and 6.x. Although this bug does not affect
7.0 or later, we should have a good test that catches this issue.

* Pass COMPUTERNAME env var to elasticsearch.bat
When we run bin/elasticsearch with bash, we get a $HOSTNAME builtin that
contains the hostname of the machine the script is running on. When
there's no provided nodename, Elasticsearch uses the HOSTNAME to create
a nodename. On Windows, Powershell provides a $COMPUTERNAME variable for
the same purpose. CMD.EXE provides the same thing, except it's called
%COMPUTERNAME%. bin/elasticsearch.bat sets $HOSTNAME to the value of
$COMPUTERNAME. However, when testclusters invokes bin/elasticsearch.bat,
the COMPUTERNAME variable doesn't get passed in, leaving HOSTNAME null
and breaking an integration test on Windows.
This commit sets COMPUTERNAME in the environment so that our tests get
the value that Elasticsearch would have when bin/elasticsearch.bat is
invoked from the shell.
* Add null check to protect in non-Windows case
What good is it a developer to gain the whole Windows if they forfeit
their Unix? The value that fixes things on Windows is null on
Linux/Darwin, so let's null-check it.
* Override system hostnames for testclusters
Rather than relying on variable system behavior, let's just override
HOSTNAME and COMPUTERNAME and test for correct values in the integration
test that was originally failing.
* Rename constants for clarity
Since we are setting HOSTNAME and COMPUTERNAME regardless of whether the
tests are running on Windows or Linux, we shouldn't imply that constants
are only used in one case or the other.
This commit moves many features of individual distro tests into the base
class so that other test cases can utilize them. It also standardizes
the pattern for tests adding assumptions for the particular
distributions to test.
Most of our CLI tools use the Terminal class, which previously did not provide methods for writing to standard output. When all output goes to standard out, there are two basic problems. First, errors and warnings are "swallowed" in pipelines, making it hard for a user to know when something's gone wrong. Second, errors and warnings are intermingled with legitimate output, making it difficult to pass the results of interactive scripts to other tools.
This commit adds a second set of print commands to Terminal for printing to standard error, with errorPrint corresponding to print and errorPrintln corresponding to println. This leaves it to developers to decide which output should go where. It also adjusts existing commands to send errors and warnings to stderr.
Usage is printed to standard output when it's correctly requested (e.g., bin/elasticsearch-keystore --help) but goes to standard error when a command is invoked incorrectly (e.g. bin/elasticsearch-keystore list-with-a-typo | sort).
The java based distribution tests currently have a single Tests class
which encapsulates all of the tests for a particular distribution. The
test task in gradle then depends on all distributions being built, and
each individual tests class looks for the particular distribution it is
trying to test. This means that reproducing a single test failure
triggers all the distributions to be built, even though only one is
needed for the test.
This commit reworks the java distribution tests to pass in a particular
distribution to be tested, and changes the base test classes to be
actual test classes which have assumptions around which distributions
they operate on. For example, the archives tests will be skipped when
run with an rpm distribution, and vice versa for the package tests. This
makes reproduction much more granular. It also also better splitting up
tests around a particular use case. For example, all tests for systemd
behavior can be in one test class, and run independently of all tests
against rpm/deb distributions.
This commit addresses an issue when trying to using Elasticsearch on
systems with Sys V init and the bundled JDK was not being used. Instead,
we were still inadvertently trying to fallback on the path. This commit
removes that fallback as that is against our intentions for 7.x where we
only support the bundled JDK or an explicit JDK via JAVA_HOME.
The system level tests for our distributions have historically be run in
vagrant, and thus the name of the gradle project has been "vagrant".
However, as we move to running these tests in other environments (eg
GCP) the name vagrant no longer makes sense. This commit renames the
project to "os" (short for operating system), since these tests ensure
all of our distributions run correctly on our supported operating
systems.
The bats tests currently require many additional artifacts to be built.
In addition to the current distributions, they need all the plugins to
be installed, as well as a randomly chosen bwc distribution. This commit
splits these two cases into their own bats task, so the dependencies do
not slow down other tasks like distroTests which do not need them.
The distro test plugin was originally designed to be applied within each
subproject, per operating system we run in a VM with vagrant. However,
for efficiency, and also ease of having a single task to run in CI when
launching within individual OS VMs, having the "destructive" tasks in a
single place is more convenient. This commit reworks the distro test
plugin to be applied to the qa/vagrant project, which now creates only
the wrapper tasks in each of the subprojects for each vagrant VM.
The vagrant based tests currently reside in a single project, creating
dozens of tasks to manage starting and stopping the vagrant VM along
with running java and bats tests within each image. This all-in-one
pattern makes parallelizing packaging tests difficult.
This commit rewrites the vagrant testing infrastructure to be
independent of the actual test runners, thus allowing each platform to
be handled in a separate subproject. Additionally, the java and bats
tests are changed to be run through a "destructive" gradle task, which
is run inside the VM. The combination of these will allow
parallelization both locally (through running several VMs at once) as
well as running the destructive tasks in CI machines dedicated to each
platform (thus removing the need for vagrant in CI).
* Restrict which tasks can use testclusters
This PR fixes a problem between the interaction of test-clusters and
build cache.
Before this any task could have used a cluster without tracking it as
input.
With this change a new interface is introduced to track the tasks that
can use clusters and we do consider the cluster as input for all of
them.
This commit applies a normalization process to environment paths, both
in how they are stored internally, also their settings values. This
normalization is done via two means:
- we make the paths absolute
- we remove redundant name elements from the path (what Java calls
"normalization")
This change ensures that when we compare and refer to these paths within
the system, we are using a common ground. For example, prior to the
change if the data path was relative, we would not compare it correctly
to paths from disk usage. This is because the paths in disk usage were
being made absolute.
Today we recover a replica by copying operations from the primary's translog.
However we also retain some historical operations in the index itself, as long
as soft-deletes are enabled. This commit adjusts peer recovery to use the
operations in the index for recovery rather than those in the translog, and
ensures that the replication group retains enough history for use in peer
recovery by means of retention leases.

Test clusters currently has its own set of logic for dealing with
finding different versions of Elasticsearch, downloading them, and
extracting them. This commit converts testclusters to use the
DistributionDownloadPlugin.
This is a refactor to current JSON logging to make it more open for extensions
and support for custom ES log messages used inDeprecationLogger IndexingSlowLog , SearchSLowLog
We want to include x-opaque-id in deprecation logs. The easiest way to have this as an additional JSON field instead of part of the message is to create a custom DeprecatedMessage (extends ESLogMEssage)
These messages are regular log4j messages with a text, but also carry a map of fields which can then populate the log pattern. The logic for this lives in ESJsonLayout and ESMessageFieldConverter.
Similar approach can be used to refactor IndexingSlowLog and SearchSlowLog JSON logs to contain fields previously only present as escaped JSON string in a message field.

We had this as a dependency for legacy dependencies that still needed
the Log4j 1.2 API. This appears to no longer be necessary, so this
commit removes this artifact as a dependency.
To remove this dependency, we had to fix a few places where we were
accidentally relying on Log4j 1.2 instead of Log4j 2 (easy to do, since
both APIs were on the compile-time classpath).
Finally, we can remove our custom Netty logger factory. This was needed
when we were on Log4j 1.2 and handled logging in our own unique
way. When we migrated to Log4j 2 we could have dropped this
dependency. However, even then Netty would still pick up Log4j 1.2 since
it was on the classpath, thus the advantage to removing this as a
dependency now.

This change verifies and aborts recovery if source and target have the
same syncId but different sequenceId. This commit also adds an upgrade
test to ensure that we always utilize syncId.
The date_histogram accepts an interval which can be either a calendar
interval (DST-aware, leap seconds, arbitrary length of months, etc) or
fixed interval (strict multiples of SI units). Unfortunately this is inferred
by first trying to parse as a calendar interval, then falling back to fixed
if that fails.
This leads to confusing arrangement where `1d` == calendar, but
`2d` == fixed. And if you want a day of fixed time, you have to
specify `24h` (e.g. the next smallest unit). This arrangement is very
error-prone for users.
This PR adds `calendar_interval` and `fixed_interval` parameters to any
code that uses intervals (date_histogram, rollup, composite, datafeed, etc).
Calendar only accepts calendar intervals, fixed accepts any combination of
units (meaning `1d` can be used to specify `24h` in fixed time), and both
are mutually exclusive.
The old interval behavior is deprecated and will throw a deprecation warning.
It is also mutually exclusive with the two new parameters. In the future the
old dual-purpose interval will be removed.
The change applies to both REST and java clients.

We have faked some Ivy repositories on a few artifact locations. Today
when Gradle attempts to resolve these artifacts, it follows its default
strategy to search for Gradle metadata, then Maven POM files, then Ivy
descriptors, and finally will fallback to looking directly for the
artifact. This wastes times on remote network calls that will 404 anyway
since these metadata resources will not exist for these fake Ivy
repositories. This commit overrides the Gradle strategy to look directly
for artifacts.
When Elasticsearch is run from a package installation, the running
process does not have permissions to write to the keystore. This is
because of the root:root ownership of /etc/elasticsearch. This is why we
create the keystore if it does not exist during package installation. If
the keystore needs to be upgraded, that is currently done by the running
Elasticsearch process. Yet, as just mentioned, the Elasticsearch process
would not have permissions to do that during runtime. Instead, this
needs to be done during package upgrade. This commit adds an upgrade
command to the keystore CLI for this purpose, and that is invoked during
package upgrade if the keystore already exists. This ensures that we are
always on the latest keystore format before the Elasticsearch process is
invoked, and therefore no upgrade would be needed then. While this bug
has always existed, we have not heard of reports of it in practice. Yet,
this bug becomes a lot more likely with a recent change to the format of
the keystore to remove the distinction between file and string entries.
hamcrest has some improvements in newer versions, like FileMatchers
that make assertions regarding file exists cleaner. This commit upgrades
to the latest version of hamcrest so we can start using new and improved

The pid dir for both systemd and init.d is already managed by those
respective systems (tmpfiles.d and the init script, respectively). Since
the /var/run dir is often mounted as tmpfs, it does not make sense to
have the elasticsearch pid dir added by the package installation. This
commit removes that empty dir from deb and rpm.

This commit removes the cluster state size field from the cluster state
response, and drops the backwards compatibility layer added in 6.7.0 to
continue to support this field. As calculation of this field was
expensive and had dubious value, we have elected to remove this field.
This commit adds a variant for every official distribution that omits
the bundled jdk. The "no-jdk" naming is conveyed through the package
classifier, alongside the platform. Package tests are also added for
each new distribution.
Computing the compressed size of the cluster state on every invocation
of cluster:monitor/state action is expensive, and the value of this
field is dubious anyway. Therefore we want to remove computing this
field. As a first step, we stop computing and return this field by
default. To avoid breaking users, we will give them a system property to
use to tide them over until the next major release when we will actually
remove this field. This comes with a deprecation warning too, and the
backport to the appropriate minor will also include a note in the
migration guide. There will be a follow-up to remove this field in the
next major version.
Executors of type fixed_auto_queue_size (i.e. search / search_throttled) wrap runnables into
TimedRunnable, which is an AbstractRunnable. This is dangerous as it might silently swallow
exceptions, and possibly miss calling a response listener. While this has not triggered any failures in
the tests I have run so far, it might help uncover future problems.
Follow-up to #36137
* Bundle java in distributions
Setting up a jdk is currently a required external step when installing
elasticsearch. This is particularly problematic for the rpm/deb packages
as installing a jdk in the same package installation command does not
guarantee any order, so must be done in separate steps. Additionally,
JAVA_HOME must be set and often causes problems in selecting a correct
jdk when, for example, the system java is an older unsupported version.
This commit bundles platform specific openjdks into each distribution.
In addition to eliminating the issues above, it also presents future
possible improvements like using jlink to build jdk images only
containing modules that elasticsearch uses.

Backport support for replicating closed indices (#39499)
Before this change, closed indexes were simply not replicated. It was therefore
possible to close an index and then decommission a data node without knowing
that this data node contained shards of the closed index, potentially leading to
data loss. Shards of closed indices were not completely taken into account when
balancing the shards within the cluster, or automatically replicated through shard
copies, and they were not easily movable from node A to node B using APIs like
Cluster Reroute without being fully reopened and closed again.
This commit changes the logic executed when closing an index, so that its shards
are not just removed and forgotten but are instead reinitialized and reallocated on
data nodes using an engine implementation which does not allow searching or
indexing, which has a low memory overhead (compared with searchable/indexable
opened shards) and which allows shards to be recovered from peer or promoted
as primaries when needed.
This new closing logic is built on top of the new Close Index API introduced in
6.7.0 (#37359). Some pre-closing sanity checks are executed on the shards before
closing them, and closing an index on a 8.0 cluster will reinitialize the index shards
and therefore impact the cluster health.
Some APIs have been adapted to make them work with closed indices:
- Cluster Health API
- Cluster Reroute API
- Cluster Allocation Explain API
- Recovery API
- Cat Indices

- Cat Health
- Cat Recovery

We have had various reports of problems caused by the maxRetryTimeout
setting in the low-level REST client. Such setting was initially added
in the attempts to not have requests go through retries if the request
already took longer than the provided timeout.
The implementation was problematic though as such timeout would also
expire in the first request attempt (see #31834), would leave the
request executing after expiration causing memory leaks (see #33342),
and would not take into account the http client internal queuing (see #25951).
Given all these issues, it seems that this custom timeout mechanism
gives little benefits while causing a lot of harm. We should rather rely
on connect and socket timeout exposed by the underlying http client
and accept that a request can overall take longer than the configured
timeout, which is the case even with a single retry anyways.
This commit removes the `maxRetryTimeout` setting and all of its usages.
Instead of logging warnings we now rethrow exceptions thrown inside
scheduled/submitted tasks. This will still log them as warnings in
production but has the added benefit that if they are thrown during
unit/integration test runs, the test will be flagged as an error.
This is a continuation of #38014
Fixed NPE that caused CCR tests (IndexFollowingIT and likely others)
to fail.
schedule could bubble rejected exception to uncaught exception

Relax test warning message checking to pre-empt PR 38022 landing in 6.7 with new warning messages.
The relaxed test now just assumes any warning message starting with “[types removal]” is tolerated rather than the precise phrasing used in the 6.7 branch.
We now throw a WarningFailureException instead of ResponseException if
there's any warning in a response. This change leads to the failures of

This PR removes the temporary change we made to the yml test harness in #37285
to automatically set `include_type_name` to `true` in index creation requests
if it's not already specified. This is possible now that the vast majority of
index creation requests were updated to be typeless in #37611. A few additional
tests also needed updating here.
Additionally, this PR updates the test harness to set `include_type_name` to
`false` in index creation requests when communicating with 6.x nodes. This
mirrors the logic added in #37611 to allow for typeless document write requests
in test set-up code. With this update in place, we can remove many references
to `include_type_name: false` from the yml tests.
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.

Scheduler.schedule(...) would previously assume that caller handles
exception by calling get() on the returned ScheduledFuture.
schedule() now returns a ScheduledCancellable that no longer gives
access to the exception. Instead, any exception thrown out of a
scheduled Runnable is logged as a warning.
This is a continuation of #28667, #36137 and also fixes#37708.
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.

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.
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.
This commit restores a noop version of the AllFieldMapper that is instanciated only
for indices created in 6x. We need this metadata field mapper to be present in this version
in order to allow the upgrade of indices that explicitly disable _all (enabled: false).
The mapping of these indices contains a reference to the _all field that we cannot remove
in 7 so we'll need to keep this metadata mapper in 7x. Since indices created in 6x will not
be compatible with 8, we'll remove this noop mapper in the next major version.
Closes#37429
The certgen, certutil and saml-metadata tools did not correctly return

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.
In order to support JSON log format, a custom pattern layout was used and its configuration is enclosed in ESJsonLayout. Users are free to use their own patterns, but if smooth Beats integration is needed, they should use ESJsonLayout. EvilLoggerTests are left intact to make sure user's custom log patterns work fine.
To populate additional fields node.id and cluster.uuid which are not available at start time,
a cluster state update will have to be received and the values passed to log4j pattern converter.
A ClusterStateObserver.Listener is used to receive only one ClusteStateUpdate. Once update is received the nodeId and clusterUUid are set in a static field in a NodeAndClusterIdConverter.
Following fields are expected in JSON log lines: type, tiemstamp, level, component, cluster.name, node.name, node.id, cluster.uuid, message, stacktrace

Docker log4j2 configuration is now almost the same as the one use for ES binary.

The packaging tests currently have a test which installs elasticsearch,
removes it, modifies ownership of /etc/elasticsearch, and
reinstalls. It then checks that the /etc/elasticsearch directory has
ownership that the package expects. But the recursive change touches
files not owned by the package. In the past this worked because we did a
recursive ownership change within the package postinst. However, that
was recently removed, and thus this test no longer makes sense.
The ingest date processor is currently only able to parse joda formats.
However it is not using the existing elasticsearch classes but access
joda directly. This means that our existing BWC layer does not notify
the user about deprecated formats. This commit switches to use the
exising Elasticsearch Joda methods to acquire a date format, that
includes the BWC check and the ability to parse java 8 dates.
The date parsing in ingest has also another extra feature, that the
fallback year, when a date format without a year is used, is the current
year, and not 1970 like usual. This is currently not properly supported
in the DateFormatter class. As this is the only case for this feature
and java time can take care of this using the toZonedDateTime() method,
a workaround just for the joda time parser has been created, that can be
removed soon again from 7.0.
elasticsearch-node tool helps to restore cluster if half or more of
master eligible nodes are lost. Of course, all bets are off, regarding
data consistency.
There are two parts of the tool: unsafe-bootstrap to be used when there
is still at least one master-eligible node alive and detach-cluster,
when there are no master-eligible nodes left.
This commit implements the first part.
Docs for the tool will be added separately as a part of #37812.

This commit moves the aggregation and mapping code from joda time to

histograms, query builders and a lot of changes within tests.
The cut-over to java time is a requirement so that we can support nanoseconds
properly in a future field mapper.

Users may require the sequence number and primary terms to perform optimistic concurrency control operations. Currently, you can get the sequence number via the `docvalues_fields` API but the primary term is not accessible because it is maintained by the `SeqNoFieldMapper` and the infrastructure can't find it.
This commit adds a dedicated sub fetch phase to return both numbers that is connected to a new `seq_no_primary_term` parameter.
The integ tests currently use the raw zip project name as the
distribution type. This commit simplifies this specification to be
"default" or "oss". Whether zip or tar is used should be an internal
implementation detail of the integ test setup, which can (in the future)
be platform specific.
This is a continuation of #28667 and has as goal to convert all executors to propagate errors to the
uncaught exception handler. Notable missing ones were the direct executor and the scheduler. This
commit also makes it the property of the executor, not the runnable, to ensure this property. A big
part of this commit also consists of vastly improving the test coverage in this area.
Some systems default to a nofile ulimit of 65535. To reduce the pain of

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.

When the deprecation log is written to within scripting support code
like ScriptDocValues, it runs under the reduces privileges of scripts.
Sometimes this can trigger log rolling, which then causes uncaught
security errors, as was handled in #28485. While doing individual
deprecation handling within each deprecation scripting location is
possible, there are a growing number of deprecations in scripts.
This commit wraps the logging call within the deprecation logger use a
doPrivileged block, just was we would within individual logging call
sites for scripting utilities.
In Lucene 8 searches can skip non-competitive hits if the total hit count is not requested.
It is also possible to track the number of hits up to a certain threshold. This is a trade off to speed up searches while still being able to know a lower bound of the total hit count. This change adds the ability to set this threshold directly in the track_total_hits search option. A boolean value (true, false) indicates whether the total hit count should be tracked in the response. When set as an integer this option allows to compute a lower bound of the total hits while preserving the ability to skip non-competitive hits when enough matches have been collected.

* Add deprecation warnings to `RestUpdateAction`, plus a test in `RestUpdateActionTests`.
* Deprecate relevant methods on the Java HLRC requests/ responses.
* Add HLRC integration tests for the typed APIs.
* Update documentation (for both the REST API and Java HLRC).

Because of an earlier PR, the REST yml tests were already updated (one version without types, and another legacy version that retains types).
There are certain BootstrapCheck checks that may need access environment-specific
values. Watcher's EncryptSensitiveDataBootstrapCheck passes in the node's environment
via a constructor to bypass the shortcoming in BootstrapContext. This commit
pulls in the node's environment into BootstrapContext.
Another case is found in #36519, where it is useful to check the state of the
data-path. Since PathUtils.get and Paths.get are forbidden APIs, we rely on
the environment to retrieve references to things like node data paths.
This means that the BootstrapContext will have the same Settings used in the
Environment, which currently differs from the Node's settings.

Moves all remaining (rolling-upgrade and mixed-version) REST tests to use Zen2. To avoid adding
extra configuration, it relies on Zen2 being set as the default discovery type. This required a few
smaller changes in other tests. I've removed AzureMinimumMasterNodesTests which tests Zen1
functionality and dates from a time where host providers were not configurable and each cloud
plugin had its own discovery.type, subclassing the ZenDiscovery class. I've also adapted a few tests
which were unnecessarily adding addTestZenDiscovery = false for the same legacy reasons. Finally,
this also moves the unconfigured-node-name REST test to Zen2, testing the auto-bootstrapping
functionality in development mode when no discovery configuration is provided.
In real deployments it is important that clusters are properly configured to
avoid accidentally forming multiple independent clusters at cluster
bootstrapping time. However we also expect to be able to unpack Elasticsearch
and start up one or more nodes without any up-front configuration, and have
them do their best to find each other and form a cluster after a few seconds.
This change adds a delayed automatic bootstrapping process to nodes that start
up with no relevant settings set to support the desired out-of-the-box
experience without compromising safety in properly-configured deployments.
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

The `wait_for_metadata_version` parameter will instruct the cluster state
api to only return a cluster state until the metadata's version is equal or
greater than the version specified in `wait_for_metadata_version`. If
the specified `wait_for_timeout` has expired then a timed out response
is returned. (a response with no cluster state and wait for timed out flag set to true)
In the case metadata's version is equal or higher than `wait_for_metadata_version`
then the api will immediately return.
This feature is useful to avoid external components from constantly
polling the cluster state to whether somethings have changed in the
cluster state's metadata.

Some very old ancient versions of Linux do not have /etc/os-release. For

Today our OS information returned in node stats only returns a
high-level name of the OS (e.g., "Linux"). Yet, for some uses this is
too high-level and knowing at a finer level of granularity the
underlying OS can be useful. This commit extracts the pretty name on
Linux from /etc/os-release. This pretty name usually includes the Linux
vendor and the Linux vendor version number (e.g., Fedora 28).
With this change, `Version` no longer carries information about the qualifier,
we still need a way to show the "display version" that does have both
qualifier and snapshot. This is now stored by the build and red from `META-INF`.
Stop passing `Settings` to `AbstractComponent`'s ctor. This allows us to
stop passing around `Settings` in a *ton* of places. While this change
touches many files, it touches them all in fairly small, mechanical
ways, doing a few things per file:
1. Drop the `super(settings);` line on everything that extends
`AbstractComponent`.
2. Drop the `settings` argument to the ctor if it is no longer used.
3. If the file doesn't use `logger` then drop `extends
AbstractComponent` from it.
4. Clean up all compilation failure caused by the `settings` removal
and drop any now unused `settings` isntances and method arguments.
I've intentionally *not* removed the `settings` argument from a few
files:
1. TransportAction
2. AbstractLifecycleComponent
3. BaseRestHandler
These files don't *need* `settings` either, but this change is large
enough as is.

The java yaml test runner supports sending request headers, yet not all clients support headers. This commit makes sure that we enforce adding a skip section with feature "headers" whenever headers are used in a do section as part of a test. That decreases the chance for new tests to break client builds due to the missing skip section.
Closes#34650
Drops the `Settings` member from `AbstractComponent`, moving it from the
base class on to the classes that use it. For the most part this is a
mechanical change that doesn't drop `Settings` accesses. The one
exception to this is naming threads where it switches from an invocation
that passes `Settings` and extracts the node name to one that explicitly
passes the node name.
This change doesn't drop the `Settings` argument from
`AbstractComponent`'s ctor because this change is big enough as is.
We'll do that in a follow up change.
Drops the `deprecationLogger` from `AbstractComponent`, moving it to
places where we need it. This saves us from building a bunch of

The pull request #34338 added strict deprecation mode to the REST tests
and adds the copy_settings param when testing the shrink of an index.
This parameter has been added in 6.4.0 and will be removed in 8.0, so
the test now needs to take care of the old cluster version when adding
the copy_settings param.
After discussing on the team's FixItFriday, we concluded that
static final instance variables that are mutable should be lowercased.
Historically, DeprecationLogger was uppercased more frequently than lowercased.
#33708 introduced a strict deprecation mode that makes a REST request
fail if there is a warning header in the response returned by
Elasticsearch (usually a deprecation message signaling that a feature
or a field has been deprecated).
This change adds the strict deprecation mode into the REST integration
tests, and makes the tests fail if a deprecated feature is used. Also
any test using a deprecated feature has been modified to pass the build.
The YAML integration tests already analyzed HTTP warnings so they do
not use this mode, keeping their "expected vs actual" behavior.
Today we index the same number of documents (50 documents) in each round
of the rolling upgrade tests. If the actual count does not match, we can
not guess the problematic round.

Changes the default of the `node.name` setting to the hostname of the
machine on which Elasticsearch is running. Previously it was the first 8
characters of the node id. This had the advantage of producing a unique
name even when the node name isn't configured but the disadvantage of
being unrecognizable and not being available until fairly late in the
startup process. Of particular interest is that it isn't available until
after logging is configured. This forces us to use a volatile read
whenever we add the node name to the log.
Using the hostname is available immediately on startup and is generally
recognizable but has the disadvantage of not being unique when run on
machines that don't set their hostname or when multiple elasticsearch
processes are run on the same host. I believe that, taken together, it
is better to default to the hostname.
1. Running multiple copies of Elasticsearch on the same node is a fairly
advanced feature. We do it all the as part of the elasticsearch build
for testing but we make sure to set the node name then.
2. That the node.name defaults to some flavor of "localhost" on an
unconfigured box feels like it isn't going to come up too much in
production. I expect most production deployments to at least set the
hostname.
As a bonus, production deployments need no longer set the node name in
most cases. At least in my experience most folks set it to the hostname
anyway.
