This commit adds examples in our documentation for
- An HLRC instance authenticating to an elasticsearch cluster using
an elasticsearch token service access token or an API key
- An HLRC instance connecting to an elasticsearch cluster that is
setup for TLS on the HTTP layer when the CA certificate of the
cluster is available either as a PEM file or a keystore
- An HLRC instance connecting to an elasticsearch cluster that
requires client authentication where the client key and certificate
are available in a keystore

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.
We use wrap code in `// tag` and `//end` to include it in our docs. Our
current docs style wraps code snippets in a box that is only wide enough
for 76 characters and adds a horizontal scroll bar for wider snippets
which makes the snippet much harder to read. This adds a checkstyle check
that looks for java code that is included in the docs and is wider than
that 76 characters so all snippets fit into the box. It solves many of
the failures that this catches but suppresses many more. I will clean
those up in a follow up change.
We have made node selectors configurable per request, but all
of other language clients don't allow for that.
A good reason not to do so, is that having a different node selector
per request breaks round-robin. This commit makes NodeSelector
configurable only at client initialization. It also improves the docs
on this matter, important given that a single node selector can still
affect round-robin.
This commit adds a note to the low-level REST client docs regarding the
possibility of being impacted by the JVM DNS cache policy under a
default security manager policy.
This commit calls the `useSystemProperties` method on the HttpAsyncClientBuilder so that the jvm
system properties are used. The primary reason for doing this is to ensure the builder uses the
system default SSLContext rather than the default instance created by the http client library.
Closes#23231
Using the infra that we now have in place, we can convert the low-level REST client docs so that they extract code snippets from real Java classes. This way we make sure that all the snippets properly compile. Compared to the high level REST client docs, in this case we don't run the tests themselves, as that would require depending on test-framework which requires java 8 while the low-level REST client is compatible with java 7. I think that compiling snippets is enough for now.
This commit converts the low level client and high level client chapters into two parts, which allows each high level client supported api to be on a separate page and show up in the index on the right.
The REST Client is split into 2 parts:
* Low level
* High level
The High level client has a main common section and the document delete API documentation as a start.
