This change moves providing UnicastHostsProvider for zen discovery to be
pull based, adding a getter in DiscoveryPlugin. A new setting is added,
discovery.zen.hosts_provider, to separate the discovery type from the
hosts provider for zen when it is selected. Unfortunately existing
plugins added ZenDiscovery with their own name in order to just provide
a hosts provider, so there are already many users setting the hosts
provider through discovery.type. This change also includes backcompat,
falling back to discovery.type when discovery.zen.hosts_provider is not
set.
* Move all zen discovery classes into o.e.discovery.zen
This collapses sub packages of zen into zen. These all had just a couple
classes each, and there is really no reason to have the subpackages.
* fix checkstyle
UpdateHelper, MetaDataIndexUpgradeService, and some recovery
stuff.
Move ClusterSettings to nullable ctor parameter of TransportService
so it isn't forgotten.
Adds an integration test for the file-based discovery plugin
to test the plugin operates correctly and uses the hosts
configured in `unicast_hosts.txt` with a real cluster
Closes#20459
TransportService is such a central part of the core server, replacing
it's implementation is risky and can cause serious issues. This change removes the ability to
plug in TransportService but allows registering a TransportInterceptor that enables
plugins to intercept requests on both the sender and the receiver ends. This is a commonly used
and overwritten functionality but encapsulates the custom code in a contained manner.
This commit introduces a new plugin for file-based unicast hosts
discovery. This allows specifying the unicast hosts participating
in discovery through a `unicast_hosts.txt` file located in the
`config/discovery-file` directory. The plugin will use the hosts
specified in this file as the set of hosts to ping during discovery.
The format of the `unicast_hosts.txt` file is to have one host/port
entry per line. The hosts file is read and parsed every time
discovery makes ping requests, thus a new version of the file that
is published to the config directory will automatically be picked
up.
Closes#20323
