#10032 introduced the notion of sealing an index by marking it with a special read only marker, allowing for a couple of optimization to happen. The most important one was to speed up recoveries of shards where we know nothing has changed since they were online by skipping the file based sync phase. During the implementation we came up with a light notion which achieves the same recovery benefits but without the read only aspects which we dubbed synced flush. The fact that it was light weight and didn't put the index in read only mode, allowed us to do it automatically in the background which has great advantage. However we also felt the need to allow users to manually trigger this operation.
The implementation at #11179 added the sync flush internal logic and the manual (rest) rest API. The name of the API was modeled after the sealing terminology which may end up being confusing. This commit changes the API name to match the internal synced flush naming, namely `{index}/_flush/synced'.
On top of that it contains a couple other changes:
- Remove all java client API. This feature is not supposed to be called programtically by applications but rather by admins.
- Improve rest responses making structure similar to other (flush) API
- Change IndexShard#getOperationsCount to exclude the internal +1 on open shard . it's confusing to get 1 while there are actually no ongoing operations
- Some minor other clean ups
This option is broken currently since it potentially interprets an incoming
binary value as compressed while it just happens that the first bytes are the
same as the LZF header.
Mappings conflicts should not be ignored. If I read the history correctly, this
option was added when a mapping update to an existing field was considered a
conflict, even if the new mapping was exactly the same. Now that mapping updates
are smart enough to detect conflicting options, we don't need an option to
ignore conflicts.
The default `false` for `require_field_match` is a bit odd and confusing for users, given that field names get ignored by default and every field gets highlighted if it contains terms extracted out of the query, regardless of which fields were queries. Changed the default to `true`, it can always be changed per request.

Our own fork of the lucene PostingsHighlighter is not easy to maintain and doesn't give us any added value at this point. In particular, it was introduced to support the require_field_match option and discrete per value highlighting, used in case one wants to highlight the whole content of a field, but get back one snippet per value. These two features won't
make it into lucene as they slow things down and shouldn't have been supported from day one on our end probably.
One other customization we had was support for a wider range of queries via custom rewrite etc. (yet another way to slow
things down), which got added to lucene and works much much better than what we used to do (instead of or rewrite, term
s are pulled out of the automata for multi term queries).
Removing our fork means the following in terms of features:
- dropped support for require_field_match: the postings highlighter will only highlight fields that were queried
- some custom es queries won't be supported anymore, meaning they won't be highlighted. The only one I found up until now is the phrase_prefix. Postings highlighter rewrites against an empty reader to avoid slow operations (like the ones that we were performing with the fork that we are removing here), thus the prefix will not be expanded to any term. What the postings highlighter does instead is pulling the automata out of multi term queries, but this is not supported at the moment with our MultiPhrasePrefixQuery.
Closes#10625Closes#11077
Most aggregations (terms, histogram, stats, percentiles, geohash-grid) now
support a new `missing` option which defines the value to consider when a
field does not have a value. This can be handy if you eg. want a terms
aggregation to handle the same way documents that have "N/A" or no value
for a `tag` field.
This works in a very similar way to the `missing` option on the `sort`
element.
One known issue is that this option sometimes cannot make the right decision
in the unmapped case: it needs to replace all values with the `missing` value
but might not know what kind of values source should be produced (numerics,
strings, geo points?). For this reason, we might want to add an `unmapped_type`
option in the future like we did for sorting.

Previously, collate feature would be executed on all shards of an index using the client,
this leads to a deadlock when concurrent collate requests are run from the _search API,
due to the fact that both the external request and internal collate requests use the
same search threadpool.
As phrase suggestions are generated from the terms of the local shard, in most cases the
generated suggestion, which does not yield a hit for the collate query on the local shard
would not yield a hit for collate query on non-local shards.
Instead of using the client for collating suggestions, collate query is executed against
the ContextIndexSearcher. This PR removes the ability to specify a preference for a collate
query, as the collate query is only run on the local shard.

A few meta fields can currently be set within a document's source.
However, the recommended way to set meta fields like this is through
the api, and setting within the document can be a performance trap

This change removes the ability to set meta fields within
a document source for 2.0+ indexes.

Previously, we were using the "statistical", technically accurate name. Instead, we
should probably use the name that people are familiar with, e.g. "Holt Winters" instead
of "triple exponential". To that end:
- `single_exp` becomes `ewma` (exponentially weighted moving average)
- `double_exp` becomes `holt`
When the `triple_exp` is added, it will be called `holt_winters`.
Current features (eg. update API) and future features (eg. reindex API)
depend on _source. This change locks down the field so that
it can no longer be disabled. It also removes legacy settings
compress/compress_threshold.

This change removes the multiple implementations of different admin interfaces and centralizes it with AbstractClient. It also makes sure *all* executions of actions now go through a single AbstractClient#execute method, taking care of copying headers and wrapping listener.
This also has the side benefit of removing all the code around differnet possible clients, and removes quite a bit of code (most of the + code is actually removal of generics and such).
This change also changes how TransportClient is constructed, requiring a Builder to create it, its a breaking change and its noted in the migration guide.
Yea another step towards simplifying the action infra and making it simpler...
This removes Elasticsearch's filter cache and uses Lucene's instead. It has some
implications:
- custom cache keys (`_cache_key`) are unsupported
- decisions are made internally and can't be overridden by users ('_cache`)
- not only filters can be cached but also all queries that do not need scores
- parent/child queries can now be cached, however cached entries are only
valid for the current top-level reader so in practice it will likely only
be used on read-only indices
- the cache deduplicates filters, which plays nicer with large keys (eg. `terms`)
- better stats: we already had ram usage and evictions, but now also hit count,
miss count, lookup count, number of cached doc id sets and current number of
doc id sets in the cache
- dynamically changing the filter cache size is not supported anymore
Internally, an important change is that it removes the NoCacheFilter infrastructure
in favour of making Query.rewrite specializing the query for the current reader so
that it will only be cached on this reader (look for IndexCacheableQuery).
Note that consuming filters with the query API (createWeight/scorer) instead of
the filter API (getDocIdSet) is important for parent/child queries because
otherwise a QueryWrapperFilter(ParentQuery) would run the wrapped query per
segment while relations might be cross segments.

closes#10620
In order to safely complete recoveries / relocations we have to keep all operation done since the recovery start at available for replay. At the moment we do so by preventing the engine from flushing and thus making sure that the operations are kept in the translog. A side effect of this is that the translog keeps on growing until the recovery is done. This is not a problem as we do need these operations but if the another recovery starts concurrently it may have an unneededly long translog to replay. Also, if we shutdown the engine for some reason at this point (like when a node is restarted) we have to recover a long translog when we come back.
To void this, the translog is changed to be based on multiple files instead of a single one. This allows recoveries to keep hold to the files they need while allowing the engine to flush and do a lucene commit (which will create a new translog files bellow the hood).
Change highlights:
- Refactor Translog file management to allow for multiple files.
- Translog maintains a list of referenced files, both by outstanding recoveries and files containing operations not yet committed to Lucene.
- A new Translog.View concept is introduced, allowing recoveries to get a reference to all currently uncommitted translog files plus all future translog files created until the view is closed. They can use this view to iterate over operations.
- Recovery phase3 is removed. That phase was replaying operations while preventing new writes to the engine. This is unneeded as standard indexing also send all operations from the start of the recovery to the recovering shard. Replay all ops in the view acquired in recovery start is enough to guarantee no operation is lost.
- IndexShard now creates the translog together with the engine. The translog is closed by the engine on close. ShadowIndexShards do not open the translog.
- Moved the ownership of translog fsyncing to the translog it self, changing the responsible setting to `index.translog.sync_interval` (was `index.gateway.local.sync`)

Hi there. I've been experimenting with the search templates recently and I'm a bit confused. Shouldn't the Mustache tags be written like `{{tagname}}` instead of `{tagname}`? Your using `{{...}}` [here](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-template.html) BTW.
Using the first example in that page seems to indicate that something's wrong, or am I missing something?
```
$ curl 'localhost:9200/test/_search' -d '{"query":{"template":{"query":{"match":{"text":"{keywords}"}},"params":{"keywords":"value1_foo"}}}}'
{"took":1,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":0,"max_score":null,"hits":[]}}
$ curl 'localhost:9200/test/_search' -d '{"query":{"template":{"query":{"match":{"text":"{{keywords}}"}},"params":{"keywords":"value1_foo"}}}}'
{"took":1,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":1,"max_score":1.0,"hits":[{"_index":"test","_type":"testtype","_id":"1","_score":1.0,"_source":{"text":"value1_foo"}}]}}

The field stats api returns field level statistics such as lowest, highest values and number of documents that have at least one value for a field.
An api like this can be useful to explore a data set you don't know much about. For example you can figure at with the lowest and highest response times are, so that you can create a histogram or range aggregation with sane settings.
This api doesn't run a search to figure this statistics out, but rather use the Lucene index look these statics up (using Terms class in Lucene). So finding out these stats for fields is cheap and quick.
The min/max values are based on the type of the field. So for a numeric field min/max are numbers and date field the min/max date and other fields the min/max are term based.

If a user explicitly defined the tree_level or precision parameter in a geo_shape mapping their specification was always overridden by the default_error_pct parameter (even though our docs say this parameter is a 'hint'). This lead to unexpected accuracy problems in the results of a geo_shape filter. (example provided in issue #9691)
This simple patch fixes the unexpected behavior by setting the default distance_error_pct parameter to zero when the tree_level or precision parameters are provided by the user. Under the covers the quadtree will now use the tree level defined by the user. The docs will be updated to alert the user to exercise caution with these parameters. Specifying a precision of "1m" for an index using large complex shapes can quickly lead to OOM issues.

This adds a new feature to the Term Vectors API which allows for filtering of
terms based on their tf-idf scores. With `dfs` option on, this could be useful

This commit adds a `rewrite` parameter to the validate API in order to shown

`cutoff_frequency` parameter. Note that the explanation is only given for a
single randomly chosen shard only, so the output may vary from one shard to
another.
