This commit changes dynamic mappings updates so that they are synchronous on the
entire cluster and their validity is checked by the master node. There are some
important consequences of this commit:
- a failing index request on a non-existing type does not implicitely create
the type anymore
- dynamic mappings updates cannot create inconsistent mappings on different
shards
- indexing requests that introduce new fields might induce latency spikes
because of the overhead to update the mappings on the master node
Close#8688
* Made GET mappings consistent, supporting
* /{index}/_mappings/{type}
* /{index}/_mapping/{type}
* /_mapping/{type}
* Added "mappings" in the JSON response to align it with other responses
* Made GET warmers consistent, support /{index}/_warmers/{type} and /_warmer, /_warner/{name}
as well as wildcards and _all notation
* Made GET aliases consistent, support /{index}/_aliases/{name} and /_alias, /_aliases/{name}
as well as wildcards and _all notation
* Made GET settings consistent, added /{index}/_setting/{name}, /_settings/{name}
as well as supportings wildcards in settings name
* Returning empty JSON instead of a 404, if a specific warmer/
setting/alias/type is missing
* Added a ton of spec tests for all of the above
* Added a couple of more integration tests for several features
Relates #4071
* Fixed error in `skip` explanation for "get type" test
* Separated the tests for getting index/type mapping
I vote for removing the "get type" test entirely, since it just tests ancient versions.
