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.
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.

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.

Abdicates to another master-eligible node once the active master is reconfigured out of the voting
configuration, for example through the use of voting configuration exclusions.
Follow-up to #37712
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.
Today file-chunks are sent sequentially one by one in peer-recovery. This is a
correct choice since the implementation is straightforward and recovery is
network bound in most of the time. However, if the connection is encrypted, we
might not be able to saturate the network pipe because encrypting/decrypting
are cpu bound rather than network-bound.
With this commit, a source node can send multiple (default to 2) file-chunks
without waiting for the acknowledgments from the target.

Relates #33844
This is a follow-up to some discussions around #36399. Currently we have
relatively confusing compression behavior where compression can be
configured for requests based on transport.compress or a specific
setting for a remote cluster. However, we can only compress responses
based on transport.compress as we do not know where a request is
coming from (currently).
This commit modifies the behavior to NEVER compress responses based on
settings. Instead, a response will only be compressed if the request was
compressed. This commit also updates the documentation to more clearly
described transport level compression.
This commit overhauls the documentation of discovery and cluster coordination,
removing mention of the Zen Discovery module and replacing it with docs for the
new cluster coordination mechanism introduced in 7.0.
Relates #32006
This is related to #36652. In 7.0 we plan to deprecate a number of
settings that make reference to the concept of a tcp transport. We
mostly just have a single transport type now (based on tcp). Settings
should only reference tcp if they are referring to socket options. This
commit updates the settings in the docs. And removes string usages of
the old settings. Additionally it adds a missing remote compress setting
to the docs.
Previously persistent task assignment was checked in the
following situations:
- Persistent tasks are changed
- A node joins or leaves the cluster
- The routing table is changed
- Custom metadata in the cluster state is changed
- A new master node is elected
However, there could be situations when a persistent
task that could not be assigned to a node could become
assignable due to some other change, such as memory
usage on the nodes.
This change adds a timed recheck of persistent task
assignment to account for such situations. The timer
is suspended while checks triggered by cluster state
changes are in-flight to avoid adding burden to an
already busy cluster.

* Lower fielddata circuit breaker default limit
Lower fielddata circuit breaker default limit from 60% to 40% as we have
moved to doc_values for most of the cases.
* merge master in
* update tests
* update docs
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`).
Relates #33028
The new limit on the number of open shards in a cluster may be
interpreted by users as a sizing recommendation, but it is not. This
clarifies in the documentation that this is a safety limit, not a
recommendation.
`ScriptDocValues#getValues` was added for backwards compatibility but no
longer needed. Scripts using the syntax `doc['foo'].values` when
`doc['foo']` is a list should be using `doc['foo']` instead.
Closes#22919
This removes the option to run a cluster without enforcing the
cluster-wide shard limit, making strict enforcement the default and only
behavior. The limit can still be adjusted as desired using the cluster
settings API.
This commit adds a rest endpoint for freezing and unfreezing an index.
Among other cleanups mainly fixing an issue accessing package private APIs
from a plugin that got caught by integration tests this change also adds
documentation for frozen indices.
Note: frozen indices are marked as `beta` and available as a basic feature.
Relates to #34352
This changes the current script.max_size_in_bytes to be dynamic so it can be
set through the cluster settings API. This setting is also applied to inline scripts
in the compile method of ScriptService to prevent excessively long inline
scripts from being compiled. The script length limit is removed from Painless as
this is no longer necessary with the protection in compile.
When we connect to remote clusters, there may be a few more routers/firewalls in-between compared to when we connect to nodes in the same cluster. We've experienced cases where firewalls drop connections completely and keep-alives seem not to be enough, or they are not properly configured. With this commit we allow to enable application-level pings specifically from CCS nodes to the selected remote nodes through the new setting `cluster.remote.${clusterAlias}.transport.ping_schedule`. The new setting is similar `transport.ping_schedule` but it does not affect intra-cluster communication, pings are only sent to specific remote cluster when specifically enabled, as they are disabled by default.
Relates to #34405
This change adds a section about the global search setting
`indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` that limits the number of boolean clauses
allowed in a Lucene BooleanQuery.
Closes#19858
In a future major version, we will be introducing a soft limit on the
number of shards in a cluster based on the number of nodes in the
cluster. This limit will be configurable, and checked on operations
which create or open shards and issue a warning if the operation would
take the cluster over the limit.
There is an option to enable strict enforcement of the limit, which
turns the warnings into errors. In a future release, the option will be
removed and strict enforcement will be the default (and only) behavior.
With remote clusters taking on a larger role, we have make the
infrastructure more generic than being tied to cross-cluster search
(CCS). We want to refer to the remote clusters configuration in the
cross-cluster replication (CCR) docs. Yet, these docs are still tied to
CCS. This commit extracts the remote clusters docs from CCS (with some
wording changes to make them more general) so that we can refer to them
in the CCR docs.
As user-defined cluster metadata is accessible to anyone with access to
get the cluster settings, stored in the logs, and likely to be tracked
by monitoring solutions, it is useful to clarify in the documentation
that it should not be used to store secret information.
It is not obvious that a filesystem-level backup may capture an inconsistent
set of files that may fail on restore, or (worse) succeed having silently
discarded some data. This change spells the out, and reorganises the first page
or so of the snapshot/restore docs to make this warning fit more nicely.
This change adds a `_source` only snapshot repository that allows to wrap
any existing repository as a _backend_ to snapshot only the `_source` part
including live docs markers. Snapshots taken with the `source` repository
won't include any indices, doc-values or points. The snapshot will be reduced in size and
functionality such that it requires full re-indexing after it's successfully restored.
The restore process will copy the `_source` data locally starts a special shard and engine
to allow `match_all` scrolls and searches. Any other query, or get call will fail with and unsupported operation exception. The restored index is also marked as read-only.
This feature aims mainly for disaster recovery use-cases where snapshot size is
a concern or where time to restore is less of an issue.
**NOTE**: The snapshot produced by this repository is still a valid lucene index. This change doesn't allow for any longer retention policies which is out of scope for this change.
With features like CCR building on the CCS infrastructure, the settings
prefix search.remote makes less sense as the namespace for these remote
cluster settings than does a more general namespace like
cluster.remote. This commit replaces these settings with cluster.remote
with a fallback to the deprecated settings search.remote.
Adds a place for users to store cluster-wide data they wish to associate
with the cluster via the Cluster Settings API. This is strictly for
user-defined data, Elasticsearch makes no other other use of these
settings.
Today we support a static list of seed hosts in core Elasticsearch, and allow a
dynamic list of seed hosts to be provided via a file using the `discovery-file`
plugin. In fact the ability to provide a dynamic list of seed hosts is
increasingly useful, so this change moves this functionality to core
Elasticsearch to avoid the need for a plugin.
Furthermore, in order to start up nodes in integration tests we currently
assign a known port to each node before startup, which unfortunately sometimes
fails if another process grabs the selected port in the meantime. By moving the
`discovery-file` functionality into the core product we can use it to avoid
this race.
This change also moves the expected path to the file from
`$ES_PATH_CONF/discovery-file/unicast_hosts.txt` to
`$ES_PATH_CONF/unicast_hosts.txt`. An example of this file is not included in
distributions.
For BWC purposes the plugin still exists, but does nothing more than create the
example file in the old location, and issue a warning when it is used. We also
continue to support the old location for the file, but warn about its
deprecation.

We do not support intra-cluster connections on multiple interfaces, but the
documentation indicates that we will in future. In fact there is currently no
plan to support this, so the forward-looking documentation is misleading. This
commit
- removes the misleading sentence
- fixes that a transport profile affects outbound connections, not inbound ones
- tidies up some nearby text
With this commit we introduce a new circuit-breaking strategy to the parent
circuit breaker. Contrary to the current implementation which only accounts for
memory reserved via child circuit breakers, the new strategy measures real heap
memory usage at the time of reservation. This allows us to be much more
aggressive with the circuit breaker limit so we bump it to 95% by default. The
new strategy is turned on by default and can be controlled with the new cluster
setting `indices.breaker.total.userealmemory`.
Note that we turn it off for all integration tests with an internal test cluster
because it leads to spurious test failures which are of no value (we cannot
fully control heap memory usage in tests). All REST tests, however, will make
use of the real memory circuit breaker.
Relates #31767
So far the in-flight request circuit breaker has only accounted for the
on-the-wire representation of a request. However, we convert the raw
request into XContent internally which increases the overhead.
Therefore, we increase the value of the corresponding setting
`network.breaker.inflight_requests.overhead` from one to two. While this
value is still rather conservative (we assume that the representation as
structured objects has no overhead compared to the byte[]), it is closer
to reality than the current value.
Relates #31613
The documentation for the account circuit breaker listed the settings for it's limit and overhead to be `network.breaker.accounting.limit` and `network.breaker.accounting.overhead` when in `HieratchyCircuitBreakerService` it seems the settings are actually `indices.breaker.accounting.limit` and `indices.breaker.accounting.overhead`.
