Before 5.0 for it was required that the percolator queries were cached in jvm heap as Lucene queries for two reasons:
1) Performance. The percolator evaluated all percolator queries all the time. There was no pre-selecting queries that are likely to match like we have today.
2) Updates made to percolator queries were visible in realtime, Today these changes are visible in near realtime. So updating no longer requires the percolator to have the queries in jvm heap.
So having the percolator queries in jvm heap via the percolator cache is now less attractive. Especially when there are many percolator queries then these queries can consume many GBs of jvm heap.
Removing the percolator cache does make the percolate query slower compared to how the execution time in 5.0.0-alpha1 and alpha2, but it is still faster compared to 2.x and before.
Currently the query builders expose the clauses of the span
query as a modifiable list. Instead we should make the that
getter return an unmodifiable list. Also renaming the method
used to add a clause from `clause(spanQuery)` to
`addClause(spanQuery)`.
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

* Register `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` setting
This commit registers `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` as a node
level setting and removes support for its synonym setting
`index.query.bool.max_clause_count`.
Closes#18336
This uses the same backoff policy we use for bulk and just retries until
the request isn't rejected.
Instead of `{"retries": 12}` in the response to count retries this now
looks like `{"retries": {"bulk": 12", "search": 1}`.
Closes#18059
This change does the following:
- Queries that are currently unsupported such as prefix queries on numeric
fields or term queries on geo fields now throw an error rather than returning
a query that does not match anything.
- Fuzzy queries on numeric, date and ip fields are now unsupported: they used
to create range queries, we now expect users to use range queries directly.
Fuzzy, regexp and prefix queries are now only supported on text/keyword
fields (including `_all`).
- The `_uid` and `_id` fields do not support prefix or range queries anymore as
it would prevent us to store them more efficiently in the future, eg. by
using a binary encoding.
Note that it is still possible to ignore these errors by using the `lenient`
option of the `match` or `query_string` queries.
Previously multiple extensions could be provided, however, this can lead
to confusion with on-disk scripts (ie, "foo.js" and "foo.javascript")
having different content. Only a single extension is now supported.
The only language currently supporting multiple extensions was the
Javascript engine ("js" and "javascript"). It now only supports the
`.js` extension.
Relates to #10598
Currently `fuzziness` is not supported for the `cross_fields` type
of the `multi_match` query since it complicates the logic that
blends the term queries that cross_fields uses internally. At the
moment using this combination is silently ignored, which can lead to
confusions. Instead we should throw an exception in this case.
The same is true for phrase and phrase_prefix type.
Closes#7764
This removes all the mentions of the sandbox from the script engine
services and permissions model. This means that the following settings
are no longer supported:
```yaml
script.inline: sandbox
script.stored: sandbox
```
Instead, only a `true` or `false` value can be specified.
Since this would otherwise break the default-allow parameter for
languages like expressions, painless, and mustache, all script engines
have been updated to have individual settings, for instance:
```yaml
script.engine.groovy.inline: true
```
Would enable all inline scripts for groovy. (they can still be
overridden on a per-operation basis).
Expressions, Painless, and Mustache all default to `true` for inline,
file, and stored scripts to preserve the old scripting behavior.
Resolves#17114
It will keep using the caching terms enum for keyword/text fields and falls back
to IndexSearcher.count for fields that do not use the inverted index for
searching (such as numbers and ip addresses). Note that this probably means that
significant terms aggregations on these fields will be less efficient than they
used to be. It should be ok under a sampler aggregation though.
This moves tests back to the state they were in before numbers started using
points, and also adds a new test that significant terms aggs fail if a field is
not indexed.
In the long term, we might want to follow the approach that Robert initially
proposed that consists in collecting all documents from the background filter in
order to compute frequencies using doc values. This would also mean that
significant terms aggregations do not require fields to be indexed anymore.
This commit adds a hard requirement to the RPM and Debian packages for
/bin/bash to be present, and adds a note regarding this to the migration
docs.

The plugin script parses command-line options looking for Java system
properties and extracts these arguments to pass to the java command when
starting the JVM. Since elasticsearch-plugin allows arbitrary user
arguments to the JVM via ES_JAVA_OPTS, this parsing is unnecessary. This
commit removes this unnecessary
Relates #18207
The `ip` field uses a binary representation internally. This breaks when
rendering sort values in search responses since elasticsearch tries to write a
binary byte[] as an utf8 json string. This commit extends the `DocValueFormat`
API in order to give fields a chance to choose how to render values.
Closes#6077
QueryBuilder has generics, but those are never used: all call sites use
`QueryBuilder<?>`. Only `AbstractQueryBuilder` needs generics so that the base
class can contain a default implementation for setters that returns `this`.
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
With this commit we compress HTTP responses provided the client
supports it (as indicated by the HTTP header 'Accept-Encoding').
We're also able to process compressed HTTP requests if needed.
The default compression level is lowered from 6 to 3 as benchmarks
have indicated that this reduces query latency with a negligible
increase in network traffic.
Closes#7309
Fix a limitation that prevent from hierarchical inner hits be defined in query dsl.
Removed the nested_path, parent_child_type and query options from inner hits dsl. These options are only set by ES
upon parsing the has_child, has_parent and nested queries are using their respective query builders.
These options are still used internally, when these options are set a new private copy is created based on the
provided InnerHitBuilder and configuring either nested_path or parent_child_type and the inner query of the query builder
being used.
Closes#11118
In Elasticsearch 5.0.0, by default unquoted field names in JSON will be
rejected. This can cause issues, however, for documents that were
already indexed with unquoted field names. To alleviate this, a system
property has been added that can be enabled so migration can occur.
This system property will be removed in Elasticsearch 6.0.0
Resolves#17674
* Added an extra `field` parameter to the `percolator` query to indicate what percolator field should be used. This must be an existing field in the mapping of type `percolator`.
* The `.percolator` type is now forbidden. (just like any type that starts with a `.`)
This only applies for new indices created on 5.0 and later. Indices created on previous versions the .percolator type is still allowed to exist.
The new `percolator` field type isn't active in such indices and the `PercolatorQueryCache` knows how to load queries from these legacy indices.
The `PercolatorQueryBuilder` will not enforce that the `field` parameter is of type `percolator`.
This makes all numeric fields including `date`, `ip` and `token_count` use
points instead of the inverted index as a lookup structure. This is expected
to perform worse for exact queries, but faster for range queries. It also
requires less storage.
Notes about how the change works:
- Numeric mappers have been split into a legacy version that is essentially
the current mapper, and a new version that uses points, eg.
LegacyDateFieldMapper and DateFieldMapper.
- Since new and old fields have the same names, the decision about which one
to use is made based on the index creation version.
- If you try to force using a legacy field on a new index or a field that uses
points on an old index, you will get an exception.
- IP addresses now support IPv6 via Lucene's InetAddressPoint and store them
in SORTED_SET doc values using the same encoding (fixed length of 16 bytes
and sortable).
- The internal MappedFieldType that is stored by the new mappers does not have
any of the points-related properties set. Instead, it keeps setting the index
options when parsing the `index` property of mappings and does
`if (fieldType.indexOptions() != IndexOptions.NONE) { // add point field }`
when parsing documents.
Known issues that won't fix:
- You can't use numeric fields in significant terms aggregations anymore since
this requires document frequencies, which points do not record.
- Term queries on numeric fields will now return constant scores instead of
giving better scores to the rare values.
Known issues that we could work around (in follow-up PRs, this one is too large
already):
- Range queries on `ip` addresses only work if both the lower and upper bounds
are inclusive (exclusive bounds are not exposed in Lucene). We could either
decide to implement it, or drop range support entirely and tell users to
query subnets using the CIDR notation instead.
- Since IP addresses now use a different representation for doc values,
aggregations will fail when running a terms aggregation on an ip field on a
list of indices that contains both pre-5.0 and 5.0 indices.
- The ip range aggregation does not work on the new ip field. We need to either
implement range aggs for SORTED_SET doc values or drop support for ip ranges
and tell users to use filters instead. #17700Closes#16751Closes#17007Closes#11513
This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and
simplify management of JVM options. This separates the configuration of
the JVM from the packaging scripts (bin/elasticsearch*, bin/service.bat,
and init.d/elasticsearch) simplifying end-user operational management of
custom JVM options.
Both top level and inline inner hits are now covered by InnerHitBuilder.
Although there are differences between top level and inline inner hits,
they now make use of the same builder logic.
The parsing of top level inner hits slightly changed to be more readable.
Before the nested path or parent/child type had to be specified as encapsuting
json object, now these settings are simple fields. Before this was required
to allow streaming parsing of inner hits without missing contextual information.
Once some issues are fixed with inline inner hits (around multi level hierachy of inner hits),
top level inner hits will be deprecated and removed in the next major version.
Today the basic node settings like `node.data` and `node.master` can't really be fully validated
since we allow to specify custom user attributes on the node level. We have to, in order to
support that, add a wildcard setting for `node.*` to let these setting pass validation.
Instead we should require a more contraint prefix like `node.attr.` that defines a namespace
that is reserved for user attributes.
This commit adds a new namespace for attributes in `node.attr`.
Closes#17280
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/17288 added a check to enforce that the `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes` configuration is set when nodes have the `host`, `port`, or `bind_host` set in either `transport` or general `network` configuration sections. This was documented incorrectly as "nodes that are bound to a non-loopback interface", which lead to confusion as I set `network.host: "localhost"` and the check was still failing.
This change updates the docs to detail the actual check. I think it also highlights how complex the check is and the need for a simpler solution.
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes is the single most important setting to set on a production cluster. We have no way of supplying a good default so it must be set by the user. Binding a node to a public IP (as opposed to the default local host) is a good enough indication that a node will be part of a production cluster cluster and thus it's a good tradeoff to enforce the settings. Note that nothing prevent users from setting it to 1 in a single node cluster.
Closes#17288
We currently have a `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_client` setting that control whether their ping responses are ignored for master election (which is the current default). With the push to treat client nodes as normal nodes (and promote the transport/rest clients for client work), this should be changed. This commit remove this setting and it's companion `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_data` setting (currently defaulting to false) in favor of singe `discovery.zen.master_election.ignore_non_master_pings` setting with more intuitive name (defaulting to false).

The available memory metric was always set to `0` since 2.0.beta1 (bug). was left behind but never set. Turns out the section wasn't that useful, as it would only output the total memory available throughout all nodes in the cluster. We decided to remove the section then.
In #17198, we removed suggest transport action, which
used the `suggest` threadpool to execute requests. Now
`suggest` threadpool is unused and suggest requests are
executed on the `search` threadpool.
Currently if you run an `exists` query on an object, it will resolve all sub
fields and create a disjunction for all those fields. However the `_field_names`
mapper indexes paths for objects so we could query object paths directly.
I also changed the query parser to reject `exists` queries if the `_field_names`
field is disabled since it would be a big performance trap.
In 5.0 we don't allow index settings to be specified on the node level ie.
in yaml files or via commandline argument. This can cause problems during
upgrade if this was used extensively. For instance if analyzers where
specified on a node level this might cause the index to be closed when
imported (see #17187). In such a case all indices relying on this
must be updated via `PUT /${index}/_settings`. Yet, this API has slightly
different semantics since it overrides existing settings. To make this less
painful this change adds a `preserve_existing` parameter on that API to ensure
we have the same semantics as if the setting was applied on the node level.
This change also adds a better error message and a change to the migration guide
to ensure upgrades are smooth if index settings are specified on the node level.
If a index setting is detected this change fails the node startup and prints a message
like this:
```
*************************************************************************************

Since elasticsearch 5.x index level settings can NOT be set on the nodes

in order to apply the upgradeIndices created in the future should use index templates

Also replaced the PercolatorQueryRegistry with the new PercolatorQueryCache.
The PercolatorFieldMapper stores the rewritten form of each percolator query's xcontext
in a binary doc values field. This make sure that the query rewrite happens only during
indexing (some queries for example fetch shapes, terms in remote indices) and
the speed up the loading of the queries in the percolator query cache.
Because the percolator now works inside the search infrastructure a number of features
(sorting fields, pagination, fetch features) are available out of the box.
The following feature requests are automatically implemented via this refactoring:

Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
This commit adds fields bytes_recovered and files_recovered to the cat
recovery API. These fields, respectively, indicate the total number of
bytes and files recovered. Additionally, for consistency, some totals
fields and translog recovery fields have been renamed.

Enables the touching of all memory pages used by the JVM heap spaces
during initialization of the HotSpot VM, which commits all memory pages
at initialization time. By default, pages are committed only as they are
needed.
The field name is a required argument for all suggesters, but
it was specified via a field() setter in SuggestionBuilder so far.
This changes field name to being a mandatory constructor argument
and lets suggestion builders throw an error if field name is missing
or the empty string.
ba5be0332d removed support for degrading
to slf4j and j.u.l but didn't document this as a breaking change because
it is only breaking for folks using Elasticsearch's jar as a java client.
People do that so this counts as a breaking change.
Also, if anyone was brave enough to try and replace log4j on an installed
version of Elasticsearch that will no longer work and this documents that
as well. It doens't get a full heading and instead lives with the java
client notes. Mostly because I can't imagine it worked consistently enough
for anyone to actually do it in the first place. We just never tested it
well enough to make sure we didn't break it after it was implemented.

Java NIO has the notion of gathering writes. These are writes that
gather data from multiple buffers into a single channel. These gathering
writes in Netty have been enabled by default with the possibility to

having gathering writes on by default did not work out. We have not
published this ability and sufficient time has passed to render
judgement that using gathering writes is okay.

2.x has show so far that running with security manager is the way to go.
This commit make this non-optional. Users that need to pass their own rules

can even opt out of all security that way.
This commit moves IndicesRequestCache into o.e.indics and makes all API in this
class package private. All references to SearchReqeust, SearchContext etc. have been factored
out and relevant glue code has been added to IndicesService. The IndicesRequestCache is not a
simple class without any hard dependencies on ThreadPool nor SearchService or IndexShard. This now
allows to add unittests.
This commit also removes two settings `indices.requests.cache.clean_interval` and `indices.fielddata.cache.clean_interval`
in favor of `indices.cache.clean_interval` which cleans both caches.
The cat API previously used the Content-Type header field for
determining the media type of the response. This is in opposition to the
HTTP spec which specifies the Accept header field for this purpose. This
commit replaces the use of the Content-Type header field with the Accept
header field in the cat API.
