Implements a new histogram aggregation called `variable_width_histogram` which
dynamically determines bucket intervals based on document groupings. These
groups are determined by running a one-pass clustering algorithm on each shard
and then reducing each shard's clusters using an agglomerative
clustering algorithm.
This PR addresses #9572.
The shard-level clustering is done in one pass to minimize memory overhead. The
algorithm was lightly inspired by
[this paper](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1198387). It fetches
a small number of documents to sample the data and determine initial clusters.
Subsequent documents are then placed into one of these clusters, or a new one
if they are an outlier. This algorithm is described in more details in the
aggregation's docs.
At reduce time, a
[hierarchical agglomerative clustering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_clustering)
algorithm inspired by [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.00304)
continually merges the closest buckets from all shards (based on their
centroids) until the target number of buckets is reached.
The final values produced by this aggregation are approximate. Each bucket's
min value is used as its key in the histogram. Furthermore, buckets are merged
based on their centroids and not their bounds. So it is possible that adjacent
buckets will overlap after reduction. Because each bucket's key is its min,
this overlap is not shown in the final histogram. However, when such overlap
occurs, we set the key of the bucket with the larger centroid to the midpoint
between its minimum and the smaller bucket’s maximum:
`min[large] = (min[large] + max[small]) / 2`. This heuristic is expected to
increases the accuracy of the clustering.
Nodes are unable to share centroids during the shard-level clustering phase. In
the future, resolving https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/50863
would let us solve this issue.
It doesn’t make sense for this aggregation to support the `min_doc_count`
parameter, since clusters are determined dynamically. The `order` parameter is
not supported here to keep this large PR from becoming too complex.

Follow-up to 35aecf4c9aa. Somehow I missed the fact that there's an ILM
API named `retry`, which is a keyword in Ruby. I've removed it from the
keywords list.
If an API name (or components of a name) overlaps with a reserved word in
the programming language for an ES client, then it's possible that the code
that is generated from the API will not compile. This PR adds validation to
check for such overlaps.
Backporting #58096 to 7.x branch.

* use mapping source direcly instead of using mapper service to extract the relevant mapping details
* moved assertion to TimestampField class and added helper method for tests
* Improved logic that inserts timestamp field mapping into an mapping.
If the timestamp field path consisted out of object fields and
if the final mapping did not contain the parent field then an error
occurred, because the prior logic assumed that the object field existed.
This change allows to use an `index_filter` in the
field capabilities API. Indices are filtered from
the response if the provided query rewrites to `match_none`
on every shard:
````
GET metrics-*
{
"index_filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [
"range": {
"@timestamp": {
"gt": "2019"
}
}
}
}
}
````
The filtering is done on a best-effort basis, it uses the can match phase
to rewrite queries to `match_none` instead of fully executing the request.
The first shard that can match the filter is used to create the field
capabilities response for the entire index.
Closes#56195
The dangling_indices.import API name could cause issues in the client
libs because import is a reserved word in many languages. Rename the
API to avoid this, and rename the other APIs for consistency.
Related to #48366.
This builds an `auto_date_histogram` aggregator that natively aggregates
from many buckets and uses it when the `auto_date_histogram` used to use
`asMultiBucketAggregator` which should save a significant amount of
memory in those cases. In particular, this happens when
`auto_date_histogram` is a sub-aggregator of a multi-bucketing aggregator
like `terms` or `histogram` or `filters`. For the most part we preserve
the original implementation when `auto_date_histogram` only collects from
a single bucket.
It isn't possible to "just port the aggregator" without taking a pretty
significant performance hit because we used to rewrite all of the
buckets every time we switched to a coarser and coarser rounding
configuration. Without some major surgery to how to delay sub-aggs
we'd end up rewriting the delay list zillions of time if there are many
buckets.
The multi-bucket version of the aggregator has a "budget" of "wasted"
buckets and only rewrites all of the buckets when we exceed that budget.
Now that we don't rebucket every time we increase the rounding we can no
longer get an accurate count of the number of buckets! So instead the
aggregator uses an estimate of the number of buckets to trigger switching
to a coarser rounding. This estimate is likely to be *terrible* when
buckets are far apart compared to the rounding. So it also uses the
difference between the first and last bucket to trigger switching to a
coarser rounding. Which covers for the shortcomings of the bucket
estimation technique pretty well. It also causes the aggregator to emit
fewer buckets in cases where they'd be reduced together on the
coordinating node. This is wonderful! But probably fairly rare.
All of that does buy us some speed improvements when the aggregator is
a child of multi-bucket aggregator:
Without metrics or time zone: 25% faster
With metrics: 15% faster
With time zone: 22% faster

Before #57042 the max_buckets test would consistently pass because the
request would consistently fail. In particular, the request would fail on
the data node. After #57042 it only fails on the coordinating node. When
the max_buckets test is run in a mixed version cluster it consistently
fails on *either* the data node or the coordinating node. Except when
the coordinating node is missing #43095. In that case if the one data
node has #57042 and one does not, *and* the one that doesn't gets the
request first, fails it as expected, and then the coordinating node
retries the request on the node with #57042. When that happens the
request fails mysteriously with "partial shard failures" as the error
message but not partial failures reported. This is *exactly* the bug
fixed in #43095.
This updates the test to be skipped in mixed version clusters without
#43095 because they *sometimes* fail the test spuriously. The request
fails in those cases, just like we expect, but with a mysterious error
message.
Closes#57657
We keep a static list of meta-fields: META_FIELDS_BEFORE_7_8
as it was before.
This is done to ensure the backwards compatability with pre 7.8 nodes.
Closes#57831
When you run a `significant_terms` aggregation on a field and it *is*
mapped but there aren't any values for it then the count of the
documents that match the query on that shard still have to be added to
the overall doc count. I broke that in #57361. This fixes that.
Closes#57402
Merges the remaining implementation of `significant_terms` into `terms`
so that we can more easilly make them work properly without
`asMultiBucketAggregator` which *should* save memory and speed them up.
Relates #56487
When the `terms` agg runs against strings and uses global ordinals it
has an optimization when it collects segments that only ever have a
single value for the particular string. This is *very* common. But I
broke it in #57241. This fixes that optimization and adds `debug`
information that you can use to see how often we collect segments of
each type. And adds a test to make sure that I don't break the
optimization again.
We also had a specialiation for when there isn't a filter on the terms
to aggregate. I had removed that specialization in #57241 which resulted
in some slow down as well. This adds it back but in a more clear way.
And, hopefully, a way that is marginally faster when there *is* a
filter.
Closes#57407
This saves some memory when the `histogram` aggregation is not a top
level aggregation by dropping `asMultiBucketAggregator` in favor of
natively implementing multi-bucket storage in the aggregator. For the
most part this just uses the `LongKeyedBucketOrds` that we built the
first time we did this.

This commit deprecates the local param in get_mapping.json.
This parameter is a no-op and field mappings are always retrieved locally.
(cherry picked from commit 0b041cccd894f01d723fb2979f70c1cf279700a6)
When the `terms` enum operates on non-numeric data it can collect it via
global ordinals. It actually has two separate collection strategies for,
one "dense" and one "remapping". Each of *those* strategies has two
"iteration" strategies that it uses to build buckets, depending on
whether or not we need buckets with `0` docs in them. Previously this
was done with several `null` checks and never really explained. This
change replaces those checks with two `CollectionStrategy` classes which
have good stuff like documentation.
Backporting #56888 to 7.x branch.
Limit the creation of data streams only for namespaces that have a composable template with a data stream definition.
This way we ensure that mappings/settings have been specified and will be used at data stream creation and data stream rollover.
Also remove `timestamp_field` parameter from create data stream request and
let the create data stream api resolve the timestamp field
from the data stream definition snippet inside a composable template.

This saves memory when running numeric significant terms which are not
at the top level by merging its collection into numeric terms and relying
on the optimization that we made in #55873.
Fixes for the REST specification specific to 7.x
* remove ignore "cat.thread_pool.json" and add the "" as valid option. #55984 deprecated this field since it these params here have no effect on this specific API
* remove ignore "indices.put_mapping.json" by adding the required / in the path to pass validation.
Changes:
* Adds API reference docs for the delete snapshot repo API.
* Corrects an error in the delete snapshot repo API spec. Comma-separated
repository names are not supported.
* Relocates the existing delete snapshot repo API example docs.
When `date_histogram` is a sub-aggregator it used to allocate a bunch of
objects for every one of it's parent's buckets. This uses the data
structures that we built in #55873 rework the `date_histogram`
aggregator instead of all of the allocation.

In KeystoreWrapper class we determine if the error to decrypt a
given keystore is caused by a wrong password based on the exception
that the SunJCE implementation of AES is
throwing(AEADBadTagException). Other implementations from other
Security Providers fail with a different exception and as such we
cannot differentiate between a corrupted file and a wrong password
in a foolproof way.
As in other tests such as in
KeyStoreWrapperTests#testDecryptKeyStoreWithWrongPassword
we handle this by matching both possible exception messages.
This is another part of the breakup of the massive BuildPlugin. This PR
moves the code for configuring publications to a separate plugin. Most
of the time these publications are jar files, but this also supports the
zip publication we have for integ tests.
This adds a few things to the `breakdown` of the profiler:
* `histogram` aggregations now contain `total_buckets` which is the
count of buckets that they collected. This could be useful when
debugging a histogram inside of another bucketing agg that is fairly
selective.
* All bucketing aggs that can delay their sub-aggregations will now add
a list of delayed sub-aggregations. This is useful because we
sometimes have fairly involved logic around which sub-aggregations get
delayed and this will save you from having to guess.
* Aggregtations wrapped in the `MultiBucketAggregatorWrapper` can't
accurately add anything to the breakdown. Instead they the wrapper
adds a marker entry `"multi_bucket_aggregator_wrapper": true` so we
can be quickly pick out such aggregations when debugging.
It also fixes a bug where `_count` breakdown entries were contributing
to the overall `time_in_nanos`. They didn't add a large amount of time
so it is unlikely that this caused a big problem, but I was there.
To support the arbitrary breakdown data this reworks the profiler so
that the `breakdown` can contain any data that is supported by
`StreamOutput#writeGenericValue(Object)` and
`XContentBuilder#value(Object)`.
This commit allows the JSON schema's documentation.url property to have a null value.
This can useful for cases where a feature is under development, and does not have
documentation published yet.
This commit also adds a documentation.url for two ml resources.
