* Adds nodes usage API to monitor usages of actions
The nodes usage API has 2 main endpoints
/_nodes/usage and /_nodes/{nodeIds}/usage return the usage statistics
for all nodes and the specified node(s) respectively.
At the moment only one type of usage statistics is available, the REST
actions usage. This records the number of times each REST action class is
called and when the nodes usage api is called will return a map of rest
action class name to long representing the number of times each of the action
classes has been called.
Still to do:
* [x] Create usage service to store usage statistics
* [x] Record usage in REST layer
* [x] Add Transport Actions
* [x] Add REST Actions
* [x] Tests
* [x] Documentation
* Rafactors UsageService so counts are done by the handlers
* Fixing up docs tests
* Adds a name to all rest actions
* Addresses review comments
Netty uses the number of processors for sizing various resources (e.g.,
thread pools, buffer pools, etc.). However, it uses the runtime number
of available processors which might not match the configured number of
processors as set in Elasticsearch to limit the number of threads (for
example, in Docker containers). A new feature was added to Netty that
enables configuring the number of processors Netty should see for sizing
this various resources. This commit takes advantage of this feature to
set this number of available processors to be equal to the configured
number of processors set in Elasticsearch.

This commit renames the random ASCII helper methods in ESTestCase. This
is because this method ultimately uses the random ASCII methods from
randomized runner, but these methods actually only produce random
strings generated from [a-zA-Z].

This commit enforces the requirement of Content-Type for the REST layer and removes the deprecated methods in transport
requests and their usages.
While doing this, it turns out that there are many places where *Entity classes are used from the apache http client
libraries and many of these usages did not specify the content type. The methods that do not specify a content type
explicitly have been added to forbidden apis to prevent more of these from entering our code base.

This change adds a strict mode for xcontent parsing on the rest layer. The strict mode will be off by default for 5.x and in a separate commit will be enabled by default for 6.0. The strict mode, which can be enabled by setting `http.content_type.required: true` in 5.x, will require that all incoming rest requests have a valid and supported content type header before the request is dispatched. In the non-strict mode, the Content-Type header will be inspected and if it is not present or not valid, we will continue with auto detection of content like we have done previously.
The content type header is parsed to the matching XContentType value with the only exception being for plain text requests. This value is then passed on with the content bytes so that we can reduce the number of places where we need to auto-detect the content type.
As part of this, many transport requests and builders were updated to provide methods that
accepted the XContentType along with the bytes and the methods that would rely on auto-detection have been deprecated.
In the non-strict mode, deprecation warnings are issued whenever a request with body doesn't provide the Content-Type header.
See #19388
There are presently 7 ctor args used in any rest handlers:
* `Settings`: Every handler uses it to initialize a logger and
some other strange things.
* `RestController`: Every handler registers itself with it.
* `ClusterSettings`: Used by `RestClusterGetSettingsAction` to
render the default values for cluster settings.
* `IndexScopedSettings`: Used by `RestGetSettingsAction` to get
the default values for index settings.
* `SettingsFilter`: Used by a few handlers to filter returned
settings so we don't expose stuff like passwords.
* `IndexNameExpressionResolver`: Used by `_cat/indices` to
filter the list of indices.
* `Supplier<DiscoveryNodes>`: Used to fill enrich the response
by handlers that list tasks.
We probably want to reduce these arguments over time but
switching construction away from guice gives us tighter
control over the list of available arguments.
These parameters are passed to plugins using
`ActionPlugin#initRestHandlers` which is expected to build and
return that handlers immediately. This felt simpler than
returning an reference to the ctors given all the different
possible args.
Breaks java plugins by moving rest handlers off of guice.
This commit adds a MessyRestTestPlugin to the gradle build. It extends
StandaloneRestTestPlugin. The main piece of functionality that it adds
is to copy plugin-metadata from dependencies into the
generated-resources for the current test source. This is necessary to
ensure that permissions for dependencies are applied when running the
tests.
A current limitation is that the permissions are applied differently
than in the distribution sources. When permissions are granted to all
depedencies for a module or plugin, the permissions are granted to all
dependencies on the classpath for tests besides a few hardcoded
exclusions:
- es core
- es test framework
- lucene test framework
- randomized runner
- junit library
Moves the last of the "easy" parser construction into
`RestRequest`, this time with a new method
`RestRequest#contentParser`. The rest of the production
code that builds `XContentParser` isn't "easy" because it is
exposed in the Transport Client API (a Builder) object.
Our query DSL supports empty queries (`{}`), which have a different meaning depending on the query that holds it, either ignored, match_all or match_none. We deprecated the support for empty queries in 5.0, where we log a deprecation warning wherever they are used.
The way we supported it once we moved query parsing to the coordinating node was having an Optional<QueryBuilder> return type in all of our parse methods (called fromXContent). See #17624. The central place for this was QueryParseContext#parseInnerQueryBuilder. We can now remove all the optional return types and simply throw an exception whenever an empty query is found.
Action filters currently have the ability to filter both the request and
response. But the response side was not actually used. This change
removes support for filtering responses with action filters.
We don't use the test infra nor do we run the tests. They might all be
entirely out of date. We also have a different BWC test infra in-place.
This change removes all of the legacy infra.
We kept `netty_3` as a fallback in the 5.x series but now that master
is 6.0 we don't need this or in other words all issues coming up with
netty 4 will be blockers for 6.0.
Today when parsing a request, Elasticsearch silently ignores incorrect
(including parameters with typos) or unused parameters. This is bad as
it leads to requests having unintended behavior (e.g., if a user hits
the _analyze API and misspell the "tokenizer" then Elasticsearch will
just use the standard analyzer, completely against intentions).
This commit removes lenient URL parameter parsing. The strategy is
simple: when a request is handled and a parameter is touched, we mark it
as such. Before the request is actually executed, we check to ensure
that all parameters have been consumed. If there are remaining
parameters yet to be consumed, we fail the request with a list of the
unconsumed parameters. An exception has to be made for parameters that
format the response (as opposed to controlling the request); for this
case, handlers are able to provide a list of parameters that should be
excluded from tripping the unconsumed parameters check because those
parameters will be used in formatting the response.
Additionally, some inconsistencies between the parameters in the code
and in the docs are corrected.

Today when we load the Netty plugins, we indirectly cause several Netty
classes to initialize. This is because we attempt to load some classes
by name, and loading these classes is done in a way that triggers a long
chain of class initializers within Netty. We should not do this, this
can lead to log messages before the logger is loader, and it leads to
initialization in cases when the classes would never be needed (for
example, Netty 3 class initialization is never needed if Netty 4 is
used, and vice versa). This commit avoids this early initialization of
these classes by removing the need for the early loading.

Remove `ParseField` constants used for names where there are no deprecated
names and just use the `String` version of the registration method instead.
This is step 2 in cleaning up the plugin interface for extending
search time actions. Aggregations are next.
This is breaking for plugins because those that register a new query should
now implement `SearchPlugin` rather than `onModule(SearchModule)`.
We throw IOException, which is the exception that is going to be thrown in 99% of the cases. A more generic exception can happen, and if it is a runtime one we just let it bubble up as is, otherwise we wrap it into runtime one so that we don't require to catch Exception everywhere, which seems odd.
Also adjusted javadocs for all performRequest methods
The new method accepts the usual parameters (method, endpoint, params, entity and headers) plus a response listener and an async response consumer. Shortcut methods are also added that don't require params, entity and the async response consumer optional.
There are a few relevant api changes as a consequence of the move to async client that affect sync methods:
- Response doesn't implement Closeable anymore, responses don't need to be closed
- performRequest throws Exception rather than just IOException, as that is the the exception that we get from the FutureCallback#failed method in the async http client
- ssl configuration is a bit simpler, one only needs to call setSSLStrategy from a custom HttpClientConfigCallback, that doesn't end up overridng any other default around connection pooling (it used to happen with the sync client and make ssl configuration more complex)

This commit renames the Netty 3 transport module from transport-netty to
transport-netty3. This is to make room for a Netty 4 transport module,
transport-netty4.

Currently custom headers that should be passed through rest requests are
registered by depending on the RestController in guice and calling a
registration method. This change moves that registration to a getter for
plugins, and makes the RestController take the set of headers on
construction.
This moves all netty related code into modules/transport-netty the module is build as a zip file as well as a JAR to serve as a dependency for transport client. For the time being this is required otherwise we have no network based impl. for transport client users. This might be subject to change given that we move forward http client.
Some tests still start http implicitly or miss configuring the transport clients correctly.
This commit fixes all remaining tests and adds a depdenceny to `transport-netty` from
`qa/smoke-test-http` and `modules/reindex` since they need an http server running on the nodes.
This also moves all required permissions for netty into it's module and out of core.
The callback replaces the ability to fully replace the http client instance. By doing that, one used to lose any default that the RestClient had set for the underlying http client. Given that you'd usually override one or two things only, like a couple of timeout values, the ssl factory or the default credentials providers, it is not uder friendly if by doing that users end up replacing the whole http client instance and lose any default set by us.
This change adds a createComponents() method to Plugin implementations
which they can use to return already constructed componenents/services.
Eventually this should be just services ("components" don't really do
anything), but for now it allows any object so that preconstructed
instances by plugins can still be bound to guice. Over time we should
add basic services as arguments to this method, but for now I have left
it empty so as to not presume what is a necessary service.
this commit moves the most of the http related integ tests out into it's own
`qa/smoke-test-http` project where most of the test can run against the external cluster.
