In bash, checking for whether an env variable exists uses the -z test,
against a stringified env var, so that the test is actually whether the
env var is empty, but not necessarily undefined. We use this to test
whether JAVA_HOME is set, to determine whether the bundled jdk should be
used. In windows, this test is an actual "undefined" check. This commit
brings the behavior on two systems in sync, opting to allow for an empty
JAVA_HOME in windows to indicate the bundled jdk should be used.

This commit introduces aarch64 packaging, including bundling an aarch64
JDK distribution. We had to make some interesting choices here:
- ML binaries are not compiled for aarch64, so for now we disable ML on
aarch64
- depending on underlying page sizes, we have to disable class data

Backport of #52525.
Closes#52503. Implement a list of `_FILE` env vars that will be used to
populate env vars with file content, instead of processing all `_FILE`
vars in the environment.
Reading the startup scripts does not elucidate how JVM options are
applied. Instead, the reader must consult the source for the JVM options
parser. This commit adds some transparency around this process so that
it easier to understand reading the startup scripts how the final JVM
options to start Elasticsearch are constructed.
This commit introduces the ability to override JVM options by adding
custom JVM options files to a jvm.options.d directory. This simplifies
administration of Elasticsearch by not requiring administrators to keep
the root jvm.options file in sync with changes that we make to the root
jvm.options file. Instead, they are not expected to modify this file but
instead supply their own in jvm.options.d. In Docker installations, this
means they can bind mount this directory in. In future versions of
Elasticsearch, we can consider removing the root jvm.options file
(instead, providing all options there as system JVM options).
* Reload secure settings with password (#43197)
If a password is not set, we assume an empty string to be
compatible with previous behavior.
Only allow the reload to be broadcast to other nodes if TLS is
enabled for the transport layer.
* Add passphrase support to elasticsearch-keystore (#38498)
This change adds support for keystore passphrases to all subcommands
of the elasticsearch-keystore cli tool and adds a subcommand for
changing the passphrase of an existing keystore.
The work to read the passphrase in Elasticsearch when
loading, which will be addressed in a different PR.
Subcommands of elasticsearch-keystore can handle (open and create)
passphrase protected keystores
When reading a keystore, a user is only prompted for a passphrase
only if the keystore is passphrase protected.
When creating a keystore, a user is allowed (default behavior) to create one with an
empty passphrase
Passphrase can be set to be empty when changing/setting it for an
existing keystore

Supersedes: #37472
* Restore behavior for force parameter (#44847)
Turns out that the behavior of `-f` for the add and add-file sub
commands where it would also forcibly create the keystore if it
didn't exist, was by design - although undocumented.
This change restores that behavior auto-creating a keystore that
is not password protected if the force flag is used. The force
OptionSpec is moved to the BaseKeyStoreCommand as we will presumably
want to maintain the same behavior in any other command that takes
a force option.
* Handle pwd protected keystores in all CLI tools (#45289)
This change ensures that `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` and
`elasticsearch-saml-metadata` can handle a password protected
elasticsearch.keystore.
For setup passwords the user would be prompted to add the
elasticsearch keystore password upon running the tool. There is no
option to pass the password as a parameter as we assume the user is
present in order to enter the desired passwords for the built-in
users.
For saml-metadata, we prompt for the keystore password at all times
even though we'd only need to read something from the keystore when
there is a signing or encryption configuration.
* Modify docs for setup passwords and saml metadata cli (#45797)
Adds a sentence in the documentation of `elasticsearch-setup-passwords`
and `elasticsearch-saml-metadata` to describe that users would be
prompted for the keystore's password when running these CLI tools,
when the keystore is password protected.

* Elasticsearch keystore passphrase for startup scripts (#44775)
This commit allows a user to provide a keystore password on Elasticsearch
startup, but only prompts when the keystore exists and is encrypted.
The entrypoint in Java code is standard input. When the Bootstrap class is
checking for secure keystore settings, it checks whether or not the keystore
is encrypted. If so, we read one line from standard input and use this as the
password. For simplicity's sake, we allow a maximum passphrase length of 128
characters. (This is an arbitrary limit and could be increased or eliminated.
It is also enforced in the keystore tools, so that a user can't create a
password that's too long to enter at startup.)
In order to provide a password on standard input, we have to account for four
different ways of starting Elasticsearch: the bash startup script, the Windows
batch startup script, systemd startup, and docker startup. We use wrapper
scripts to reduce systemd and docker to the bash case: in both cases, a
wrapper script can read a passphrase from the filesystem and pass it to the
bash script.
In order to simplify testing the need for a passphrase, I have added a
has-passwd command to the keystore tool. This command can run silently, and
exit with status 0 when the keystore has a password. It exits with status 1 if
the keystore doesn't exist or exists and is unencrypted.
A good deal of the code-change in this commit has to do with refactoring
packaging tests to cleanly use the same tests for both the "archive" and the
"package" cases. This required not only moving tests around, but also adding
some convenience methods for an abstraction layer over distribution-specific
commands.
* Adjust docs for password protected keystore (#45054)
This commit adds relevant parts in the elasticsearch-keystore
sub-commands reference docs and in the reload secure settings API
doc.
* Fix failing Keystore Passphrase test for feature branch (#50154)
One problem with the passphrase-from-file tests, as written, is that
they would leave a SystemD environment variable set when they failed,
and this setting would cause elasticsearch startup to fail for other
tests as well. By using a try-finally, I hope that these tests will fail
more gracefully.
It appears that our Fedora and Ubuntu environments may be configured to
store journald information under /var rather than under /run, so that it
will persist between boots. Our destructive tests that read from the
journal need to account for this in order to avoid trying to limit the
output we check in tests.
* Run keystore management tests on docker distros (#50610)
* Add Docker handling to PackagingTestCase
Keystore tests need to be able to run in the Docker case. We can do this
by using a DockerShell instead of a plain Shell when Docker is running.
* Improve ES startup check for docker
Previously we were checking truncated output for the packaged JDK as
an indication that Elasticsearch had started. With new preliminary
password checks, we might get a false positive from ES keystore
commands, so we have to check specifically that the Elasticsearch
class from the Bootstrap package is what's running.
* Test password-protected keystore with Docker (#50803)
This commit adds two tests for the case where we mount a
password-protected keystore into a Docker container and provide a
password via a Docker environment variable.
We also fix a logging bug where we were logging the identifier for an
array of strings rather than the contents of that array.
* Add documentation for keystore startup prompting (#50821)
When a keystore is password-protected, Elasticsearch will prompt at
startup. This commit adds documentation for this prompt for the archive,
systemd, and Docker cases.

* Warn when unable to upgrade keystore on debian (#51011)
For Red Hat RPM upgrades, we warn if we can't upgrade the keystore. This
commit brings the same logic to the code for Debian packages. See the
posttrans file for gets executed for RPMs.
* Restore handling of string input
Adds tests that were mistakenly removed. One of these tests proved
we were not handling the the stdin (-x) option correctly when no
input was added. This commit restores the original approach of
reading stdin one char at a time until there is no more (-1, \r, \n)
instead of using readline() that might return null
* Apply spotless reformatting
* Use '--since' flag to get recent journal messages
When we get Elasticsearch logs from journald, we want to fetch only log
messages from the last run. There are two reasons for this. First, if
there are many logs, we might get a string that's too large for our
utility methods. Second, when we're looking for a specific message or
error, we almost certainly want to look only at messages from the last
execution.
Previously, we've been trying to do this by clearing out the physical
files under the journald process. But there seems to be some contention
over these directories: if journald writes a log file in between when
our deletion command deletes the file and when it deletes the log
directory, the deletion will fail.
It seems to me that we might be able to use journald's "--since" flag to
retrieve only log messages from the last run, and that this might be
less likely to fail due to race conditions in file deletion.
Unfortunately, it looks as if the "--since" flag has a granularity of
one-second. I've added a two-second sleep to make sure that there's a
sufficient gap between the test that will read from journald and the
test before it.

In 2bb31fe (v0.6.0!) we added DEBUG-level logging to the default config of
action loggers "for easier debugging". This change to the default config lives
on to this day. It does not obviously make debugging any easier any more, but
it does result in a good deal of log noise sometimes. This commit removes this
special case from the default config.

The current Docker entrypoint script picks up environment variables and
translates them into -E command line arguments. However, since any tool
executes via `docker exec` doesn't run the entrypoint, it results in
a poorer user experience.
Therefore, refactor the env var handling so that the -E options are
generated in `elasticsearch-env`. These have to be appended to any
existing command arguments, since some CLI tools have subcommands and
-E arguments must come after the subcommand.
Also extract the support for `_FILE` env vars into a separate script, so
that it can be called from more than once place (the behaviour is
idempotent).
Finally, add noop -E handling to CronEvalTool for parity, and support
`-E` in MultiCommand before subcommands.
The Apache Commons Daemon has some helpful features for Java
applications, like nice little next boxes for min heap, max heap, and
thread stack size. Our elasticsearch-service.bat script parses those
values out of the ES_JAVA_OPTS environment variable and provides them to
the Apache Commons Daemon invocation command in order to provide
sensible defaults. However, we failed to remove those values from the
ES_JAVA_OPTS environment variable, which meant they ended up in the
"Java Options" text box and would, from there, override whatever the
user put in the specific boxes for heap size or thread stack size.
This commit modifies the loop that parses ES_JAVA_OPTS to construct a
new enviroment variable containing only the values that aren't parsed
out for heap size or thread stack size, then uses that new enviroment
variable in the commons daemon invocation command.
JDK 14 has removed CMS. This commit restricts the support for CMS to JDK
8 through JDK 13, and defaults to G1 GC on JDK 14. We will revisit all
defaults in the future, but this ensures that we run with a
properly-configured garbage collector on JDK 14+.
This commit moves JVM options that we are setting on behalf of the user
that we do not expect them to fiddle with out of the jvm.options
configuration file and into the JVM options parser. In this way, we
discourage fiddling with these settings, but more importantly, we ensure
that as we evolve or add to these settings that a user would pick these
pick instead of being left behind if they have a modified jvm.options
file and do not pick any new that come with the distribution.
This commit removes the option to change the netty system properties to
reenable the direct buffer pooling. It also removes the need for us to
disable the buffer pooling in the system properties file. Instead, we
programmatically craete an allocator that is used by our networking
layer.
This commit does introduce an Elasticsearch property which allows the
user to fallback on the netty default allocator. If they choose this
option, they can configure the default allocator how they wish using the
standard netty properties.
This commit moves the ES_TMPDIR substitution that we do for JVM options
into the JVM options parser itself. This solves a problem where the fact
that the we do not make the substitution before ergonomics parsing can
lead to the JVM that we start for computing the ergonomic values failing
to start. Additionally, moving this substitution here enables us to
simplify the shell scripts since we do not need to implement this there,
and twice for Bash and Windows.
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.
G1 GC were setup to use an `InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent` of 75. This
could leave used memory at a very high level for an extended duration,
triggering the real memory circuit breaker even at low activity levels.
The value is a threshold for old generation usage relative to total heap
size and thus it should leave room for the new generation. Default in
G1 is to allow up to 60 percent for new generation and this could mean that the
threshold was effectively at 135% heap usage. GC would still kick in of course and
eventually enough mixed collections would take place such that adaptive adjustment
of IHOP kicks in.
The JVM has adaptive setting of the IHOP, but this does not kick in
until it has sampled a few collections. A newly started, relatively
quiet server with primarily new generation activity could thus
experience heap above 95% frequently for a duration.
The changes here are two-fold:
1. Use 30% default for IHOP (the JVM default of 45 could still mean
105% heap usage threshold and did not fully ensure not to hit the
circuit breaker with low activity)
2. Set G1ReservePercent=25. This is used by the adaptive IHOP mechanism,
meaning old/mixed GC should kick in no later than at 75% heap. This
ensures IHOP stays compatible with the real memory circuit breaker also
after being adjusted by adaptive IHOP.
We currently configure io.netty.allocator.numDirectArenas to be 0 in the
jvm erconomics class. This is a config that we always want to set, so it
makes sense to move it to jvm.options.
The field has to be defined in log4j2.properties and should be an
escaped JSON for now (it is a broken JSON at the moment). This should later be refactored into a JSON array
of strings.
In https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/41913 setting up the
temp dir for ES was moved from the env script to individual cli scripts.
However, moving it to the windows service cli was missed. This commit
restores setting up the temp dir for the windows service control script.
This commit adds some default CLI JVM options to control the heap size
and the garbage collector used for the CLI tools. We do this because
otherwise the JVM will default to large initial and max heap sizes based
on the RAM visible to the JVM (which could be all the physical RAM on
the machine if not run in a container-aware JVM). This commit therefore
sets the initial heap size to 4m, the max heap size to 64m, the garbage
collector to the serial collector, and leaves this user-configurable by
honoring ES_JAVA_OPTS last.
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.

The elasticsearch-cli helper script does not use the tempdir created by
elasticsearch-env, yet the env script still creates it. This can lead to
lots of temp directories being created when running cli scripts in an
automated fashion. This commit passes a fake tmpdir to the env script to
avoid creation.
closes#34445
This commit removes manual parsing of JVM options when calculating
ergonomics. This is to avoid a situation that we parse values
differently than the JVM would. In fact, we already have a bug along
these lines today. It is possible to start the JVM with the same flag
multiple times on the command line. In this case, the last value
wins. For example, -Xmx1g -Xmx2g would start the JVM with a heap size of
two gigabytes. Our JVM ergonomics ignores this possibility and instead
the first value is winning!
Our strategy to avoid manual parsing of the JVM options is to start the
Java command line parser (without actually starting a JVM) by invoking
java with the same command line flags as presented and request that the
JVM tell us what values it would start with. This ensures that we have
the correct values when making ergonomic decisions.
Moreover, our strategy also is ignoring ES_JAVA_OPTS which could
override the heap size as well leading to incorrect ergonomic
choices. This commit address this issue too.
We use Bouncy Castle to verify signatures when installing official
plugins. This leads to illegal access warnings because Bouncy Castle
accesses the Sun security provider constructor. This commit adds an
add-opens flag to suppress this illegal access.
We previously found a bug in the JVM where AVX-512 instructions could
crash the JVM to crash with a segmentation fault. This bug impacted JDK
9 and JDK 10, but was most prominent on JDK 10 because AVX-512 was
enabled there by default. In JDK 11, this bug is reported fixed so this
commit restricts the disabling of AVX-512 to JDK 10 only. Since we no
longer support JDK 10 for any versions that this commit will be
integrated into (7.1, 8.0), we simply remove the disabling of this flag
from the JVM options.
On windows, JAVA_HOME is currently resolved when the windows service is started. However, this is contrary to what our documentation states. This commit moves resolution to service install. This has the side effect of making java existence checking optional in elasticsearch-env.bat, since the rest of the service commands do not require java.

* Configure a tmp dir without spaces
* Pass on TMP instead of changing it
This commit adds cd $ES_HOME to elasticsearch-env and removes it from
elasticsearch. This way, both elasticsearch and elasticsearch-cli are
executed with the working directory set to $ES_HOME. The need for the
fix arose from the following bug:
1. Explicitly set path.data to relative to ES_HOME path in
elasticsearch.yml.
2. Run elasticsearch from any directory. Elasticsearch is able to
correctly start.
3. Stop elasticsearch.
4. Run elasticsearch-node unsafe-bootstrap, not from ES_HOME directory.
It will fail with an exception.

* 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.

In order to support JSON log format, a custom pattern layout was used and its configuration is enclosed in ESJsonLayout.

Following fields are expected in JSON log lines: type, tiemstamp, level, component, cluster.name, node.name, node.id, cluster.uuid, message, stacktrace

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.
When a security manager is present, the JVM will cache positive hostname
lookups indefinitely. This can be problematic, especially in the modern
world with cloud services where DNS addresses can change, or
environments using Docker containers where IP addresses could be
considered ephemeral. This behavior impacts cluster discovery,
cross-cluster replication and cross-cluster search, reindex from remote,
snapshot repositories, webhooks in Watcher, external authentication
mechanisms, and the Elastic Stack Monitoring Service. The experience of
watching a DNS lookup change yet not be reflected within Elasticsearch
is a poor experience for users. The reason the JVM has this is guard
against DNS cache posioning attacks. Yet, there is already a defense in
the modern world against such attacks: TLS. With proper certificate
validation, even if a resolver falls prey to a DNS cache poisoning
attack, using TLS would neuter the attack. Therefore we have a policy
with dubious security value that significantly impacts usability. As
such we make the usability/security tradeoff towards usability, since
the security risks are very low. This commit introduces new system
properties that Elasticsearch observes to override the JVM DNS cache
policy.
Currently is `java` is not in $PATH the preinst script fails
