The important settings docs previously referred to a section regarding
the node.max_local_storage_nodes setting. This section was removed, but
the link was not. This commit removes that link.
Previously node.max_local_storage_nodes defaulted to fifty, and this
permitted users to start multiple instances of Elasticsearch sharing the
same data folder. This can be dangerous, and usually it does not make
sense to run more than one instance of Elasticsearch on a single
server. Because of this, we had a note in the important settings docs
advising users to set this setting to one. However, we have since
changed the default value of this setting to one so this advise is no
longer needed.

On Windows the JDK uses `CreateFileW` which has a stupidly high
limit for the number of `Handle`s it can make - `16 * 1024 * 1024`.
So this isn't really a problem on Windows at all.
Closes#20732
This commit fixes the documentation for configuring the Java I/O temp
dir which incorrectly suggested using the -D flag as a parameter on the
command line; these flags have been removed and should now be specified
as arguments to the JVM using either the ES_JAVA_OPTS environment
variable or using the jvm.options configuration file.
Closes#20652
With the unified release process across the elastic stack, download
links for all products are changing. This change updates docs referring
to the old download and packages urls.
Note that this change also updates the plugin installation command as
the url for downloads is being changed to be consistent with that for
packages (both plural).
The serial collector is not suitable for running with a server
application like Elasticsearch and can decimate performance and lead to
cluster instability. This commit adds a bootstrap check to prevent usage
of the serial collector when Elasticsearch is running in production
mode.

Funny node names have been removed in #19456 and replaced by UUID. This commit removes these obsolete node names and replace them by real UUIDs in the documentation.

In 7560101ec7, the Elasticsearch logger
names were modified to be their fully-qualified class name (with some
exceptions for special loggers like the slow logs and the transport
tracer). This commit updates the docs accordingly.

This commit adds a -q/--quiet option to Elasticsearch so that it does not log anything in the console and closes stdout & stderr streams. This is useful for SystemD to avoid duplicate logs in both journalctl and /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log while still allows the JVM to print error messages in stdout/stderr if needed.
closes#17220
and be much more stingy about what we consider a console candidate.
* Add `// CONSOLE` to check-running
* Fix version in some snippets
* Mark groovy snippets as groovy
* Fix versions in plugins
* Fix language marker errors
* Fix language parsing in snippets
This adds support for snippets who's language is written like
`[source, txt]` and `["source","js",subs="attributes,callouts"]`.
This also makes language required for snippets which is nice because
then we can be sure we can grep for snippets in a particular language.
This commit configures the deprecation logs to be size-limited to 1 GB,
and compress these logs when they roll. The default configuration will
preserve up to four rolled logs.

* master:
Increase visibility of deprecation logger
Skip transport client plugin installed on JDK 9
Explicitly disable Netty key set replacement
percolator: Fail indexing percolator queries containing either a has_child or has_parent query.
Make it possible for Ingest Processors to access AnalysisRegistry
Allow RestClient to send array-based headers
Silence rest util tests until the bogusness can be simplified
Remove unknown HttpContext-based test as it fails unpredictably on different JVMs
Tests: Improve rest suite names and generated test names for docs tests
Add support for a RestClient base path
The deprecation logger is an important way to make visible features of
Elasticsearch that are deprecated. Yet, the default logging makes the
log messages for the deprecation logger invisible. We want these log
messages to be visible, so the default logging for the deprecation
logger should enable these log messages. This commit changes the log
level of deprecation log message to warn, and configures the deprecation
logger so that these log messages are visible out of the box.

With #19140 we started persisting the node ID across node restarts. Now that we have a "stable" anchor, we can use it to generate a stable default node name and make it easier to track nodes over a restarts. Sadly, this means we will not have those random fun Marvel characters but we feel this is the right tradeoff.
On the implementation side, this requires a bit of juggling because we now need to read the node id from disk before we can log as the node node is part of each log message. The PR move the initialization of NodeEnvironment as high up in the starting sequence as possible, with only one logging message before it to indicate we are initializing. Things look now like this:
```

Needless to say, settings `node.name` explicitly still works as before.
The commit also contains some clean ups to the relationship between Environment, Settings and Plugins. The previous code suggested the path related settings could be changed after the initial Environment was changed. This did not have any effect as the security manager already locked things down.
Today when a thread encounters a fatal unrecoverable error that
threatens the stability of the JVM, Elasticsearch marches on. This
includes out of memory errors, stack overflow errors and other errors
that leave the JVM in a questionable state. Instead, the Elasticsearch
JVM should die when these errors are encountered. This commit causes
this to be the case.
Relates #19272
This commit adds a bootstrap check for the JVM option OnError being in
use and seccomp being enabled. These two options are incompatible
because OnError allows the user to specify an arbitrary program to fork
when the JVM encounters an fatal error, and seccomp enables system call
filters that prevents forking.
This commit adds a bootstrap check for the JVM option OnOutOfMemoryError
being in use and seccomp being enabled. These two options are
incompatible because OnOutOfMemoryError allows the user to specify an
arbitrary program to fork when the JVM encounters an
OutOfMemoryError, and seccomp enables system call filters that prevents
forking.
This commit also adds support for bootstrap checks that are always
enforced, whether or not Elasticsearch is in production mode.
This commit adds a note regarding the difference in configuration for
the Windows service heap size from any other installation of
Elasticsearch.

The setting bootstrap.mlockall is useful on both POSIX-like systems
(POSIX mlockall) and Windows (Win32 VirtualLock). But mlockall is really
a POSIX only thing so the name should not be tied POSIX. This commit
renames the setting to "bootstrap.memory_lock".
Relates #18669
This commit adds documentation for the bootstrap checks and provides
either links or inline guidance for setting the necessary settings to
pass the bootstrap checks.

This commit removes the ability to specify a custom plugins
path. Instead, the plugins path will always be a subdirectory called
"plugins" off of the home directory.
