The date_histogram accepts an interval which can be either a calendar
interval (DST-aware, leap seconds, arbitrary length of months, etc) or
fixed interval (strict multiples of SI units). Unfortunately this is inferred
by first trying to parse as a calendar interval, then falling back to fixed
if that fails.
This leads to confusing arrangement where `1d` == calendar, but
`2d` == fixed. And if you want a day of fixed time, you have to
specify `24h` (e.g. the next smallest unit). This arrangement is very
error-prone for users.
This PR adds `calendar_interval` and `fixed_interval` parameters to any
code that uses intervals (date_histogram, rollup, composite, datafeed, etc).
Calendar only accepts calendar intervals, fixed accepts any combination of
units (meaning `1d` can be used to specify `24h` in fixed time), and both
are mutually exclusive.
The old interval behavior is deprecated and will throw a deprecation warning.
It is also mutually exclusive with the two new parameters. In the future the
old dual-purpose interval will be removed.
The change applies to both REST and java clients.
Redeprecates the `/_xpack/rollup` endpoints in favor of `/_rollup`.
When we cleanup the rollup in a cluster containing 6.x nodes we need to
use `/_xpack/rollup` instead of `/_rollup` because the 6.x nodes don't
know about `/_rollup`. In those cases we must ignore the deprecation
warnings that the 7.0 node will return for the end point.
Closes#36044
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

This changes the RollupSearch endpoint to proactively resolve index
patterns. If the index pattern(s) match more than one rollup index,
an exception is throw as before. But if the pattern only matches one
rollup index, execution is allowed to continue (unlike before where
it would assume all patterns were for raw data).
This also allows the search endpoint to resolve aliases that point to
a rollup index.
Also tweaks the documentation to make this clear.
