The number of current pending tasks is useful to detect and overloaded master. This commit adds it to the cluster health API. The complete list can be retrieved from the dedicated pending tasks API.
It also adds rest tests for the cluster health variants.
Closes#9877
Today, Elasticsearch has a separate merge thread pool checking once
per second (by default) if any merges are necessary, but this is no
longer necessary since we can and do now tell Lucene's
ConcurrentMergeScheduler never to "hard pause" threads when merges
fall behind, since we do our own index throttling.
This change goes back to letting Lucene launch merges as needed, and
removes these two expert settings:
index.merge.force_async_merge
index.merge.async_interval
Now merges kick off immediately instead of waiting up to 1 second
before running.
Closes#8643
Add source_node and target_node fields to the recovery cat API. Also fixed and updated the documentation which was not complete concerning fields names.
Closes#8041
cat/nodes currently does not report any details related to file descriptors. This adds the current number in use, the maximum number available as well as their ratio (percentage) to cat/nodes as hidden-by-default metrics. In addition, this also adds current heap usage (as a non-percentage of ts max) and ram usage (as a non-percerntage of its max) to allow tools to provide more granularity.
Closes#7652
This patch adds to `_cat/indices` information about memory usage per index by adding memory used by FieldData, IdCache, Percolate, Segments (memory, index writer, version map).
```
% curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v&h=i,tm'
i tm
wiki 8.1gb
test 30.5kb
user 1.9mb
```
Closes#7008
This is an update for the _cat/recovery API documentation. The examples
have been updated. Removed the bottom paragraph explaining why there
could be values > 100%. This can no longer happen so that had to be
removed.
Closes#6159
Adds a table with the exhaustive list of all available headers with a brief description (mostly from `org.elasticsearch.rest.action.cat.RestNodesAction`) so that people do not need to go searching for them in the code like I did, or search through `nodes?help`.
If we want to have a full picture of versions running in a cluster, we need to add a `_cat/plugins` endpoint.
Response could look like:
```sh
% curl es2:9200/_cat/plugins?v
node component version type url desc
es1 mapper-attachments 1.7.0 j Adds the attachment type allowing to parse difference attachment formats
es1 lang-javascript 1.4.0 j JavaScript plugin allowing to add javascript scripting support
es1 analysis-smartcn 1.9.0 j Smart Chinese analysis support
es1 marvel 1.1.0 j/s http://localhost:9200/_plugins/marvel Elasticsearch Management & Monitoring
es1 kopf 0.5.3 s http://localhost:9200/_plugins/kopf kopf - simple web administration tool for ElasticSearch
es2 mapper-attachments 2.0.0.RC1 j Adds the attachment type allowing to parse difference attachment formats
es2 lang-javascript 2.0.0.RC1 j JavaScript plugin allowing to add javascript scripting support
es2 analysis-smartcn 2.0.0.RC1 j Smart Chinese analysis support
```
Closes#4824.
By default active, rejected and queue thread statistics are included for the index, bulk and search thread pool.
Other thread statistics of other thread pools can be included via the `h` query string parameter.
Closes#4907
- Removed "ok": true from response examples
- Added "created" flag to index response examples
- Replaced exists flag with found in delete response examples
