THe deb distribution has a special copyright file instead of
LICENSE.txt, but the distributions were including the template file
instead of the rendered file (which includes the license name and text).
This commit adds the distribution type to the startup scripts so that we
can discern from log output and the main response the type of the
distribution (deb/rpm/tar/zip).
This commit moves the apache and elastic license files into a new
root level `licenses` directory and rewrites the top level LICENSE.txt
to clarify the repository has a mix of apache and elastic licensed code.
This commit adds license metadata to rpm and deb packages. Additionally,
it makes the copyright file for deb files follow the machine readable
specification, and sets the correct license text based on the oss vs
default deb packages.
X-Pack can no longer be installed as a plugin. This commit adds special
handling for when a user attempts to install X-Pack. This special
handling informs the user of the oss distribution that they should
download the default distribution and the user of the default
distribution that X-Pack does not require installation as it is included
by default.
This commit adds the distribution flavor (default versus oss) to the
build process which is passed through the startup scripts to
Elasticsearch. This change will be used to customize the message on
attempting to install/remove x-pack based on the distribution flavor.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
This commit moves the checks on JAVAX_HOME (where X is the java version
number) existing to the end of gradle's configuration phase, and based
on whether the tasks needing the java home are configured to execute.

This commit fixes plugin warning confirmation to include native
controller confirmation when no security policy exists. The case was
already covered for meta plugins, but not for normal plugins. Tests are
also added for all cases.
Some build tasks require older JDKs. For example, the BWC build tasks
for older versions of Elasticsearch require older JDKs. It is onerous to
require these be configured when merely compiling Elasticsearch, the
requirement that they be strictly set to appropriate values should only
be enforced if these tasks are going to be executed. To address this, we
lazy configure these tasks.
Today we have JAVA_HOME for the compiler Java home and RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME
for the test Java home. However, when we compile BWC nodes and run them,
neither of these Java homes might be the version that was suitable for
that BWC node (e.g., 5.6 requires JDK 8 to compile and to run). This
commit adds support for the environment variables JAVA\d+_HOME and uses
the appropriate Java home based on the version of the node being
started. We even do this for reindex-from-old which requires JDK 7 for
these very old nodes. Note that these environment variables are not
required if not running BWC tests, and they are strictly required if
running BWC tests.
The BWC builds always fetch the latest from the elastic/elasticsearch
repository for the BWC branches. Yet, there are use-cases for using the
local checkout without fetching the latest. This commit enables these
use-cases by adding a tests.bwc.git.fetch.latest property to skip the
fetches.
Today we have a silent batch mode in the install plugin command when
standard input is closed or there is no tty. It appears that
historically this was useful when running tests where we want to accept
plugin permissions without having to acknowledge them. Now that we have
an explicit batch mode flag, this use-case is removed. The motivation
for removing this now is that there is another place where silent batch
mode arises and that is when a user attempts to install a plugin inside
a Docker container without keeping standard input open and attaching a
tty. In this case, the install plugin command will treat the situation
as a silent batch mode and therefore the user will never have the chance
to acknowledge the additional permissions required by a plugin. This
commit removes this silent batch mode in favor of using the --batch flag
when running tests and requiring the user to take explicit action to
acknowledge the additional permissions (either by leaving standard input
open and attaching a tty, or by passing the --batch flags themselves).
Note that with this change the user will now see a null pointer
exception when they try to install a plugin in a Docker container
without keeping standard input open and attaching a tty. This will be
addressed in an immediate follow-up, but because the implications of
that change are larger, they should be handled separately from this one.
This commit changes the sysprop for overriding the branch bwc builds use
to be branch specific. There are 3 different bwc branches built, but all
of them currently read the exact same sysprop. For example, with this change
and current branches, you can now specify eg `-Dtests.bwc.refspec.6.x=my_6x`
and it will build only next-minor-snapshot with that branch, while
next-bugfix-snapshot will continue to use 5.6.
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the error file path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to the root of the
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
error file path relative to this directory and default it to the logs
directory, similar to the package distributions.
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the heap dump path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to to the root of
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
heap dump path relative to this directory and default it to the data
directory, similar to the package distributions.
When upgrading via the RPM package, we can run into a problem where
the keystore fails to be created. This arises because the %post script
on RPM runs after the new package files are installed but before the
removal of the old package files. This means that the contents of the
lib folder can contain files from the old package and the new package
and thus running the create keystore tool can encounter JAR hell
issues and fail. To solve this, we move creating the keystore to the
%posttrans script which runs after the old package files are
removed. We only need to do this on the RPM package, so we add a
switch in the shared post-install script.
The cd command on Windows has an oddity regarding changing
directories. If the drive of the current directory is a different drive
than than of the directory that was passed to the cd command, cd acts in
query mode and does not change the current directory. Instead, a flag is
needed to put the cd command into set mode so that the directory
actually changes. This causes a problem when starting Elasticsearch from
a directory different than the one where it is installed and this commit
fixes the issue.
Today we allow any other method of starting Elastisearch to override
jvm.options via ES_JAVA_OPTS. Yet, for some settings in the Windows
service, we do not allow this. This commit removes this in favor of
being consistent with other packaging choices.
Provide more actionable error message when installing an offline plugin
in the plugins directory, and the `plugins` directory for the node
contains plugin distribution.
Closes#27401
This commit adds a JVM flag to ensure that the JVM fatal error logs land
in the default log directory. Users that wish to use an alternative
location should change the path configured here.
As we have factored Elasticsearch into smaller libraries, we have ended
up in a situation that some of the dependencies of Elasticsearch are not
available to code that depends on these smaller libraries but not server
Elasticsearch. This is a good thing, this was one of the goals of
separating Elasticsearch into smaller libraries, to shed some of the
dependencies from other components of the system. However, this now
means that simple utility methods from Lucene that we rely on are no
longer available everywhere. This commit copies IOUtils (with some small
formatting changes for our codebase) into the fold so that other
components of the system can rely on these methods where they no longer
depend on Lucene.
We no longer source the environment file in the packaging scripts yet we
had leftover references to variables defined by those environment
files. This commit cleans these up.
Previously we allowed a lot of customization of Elasticsearch during
package installation (e.g., the username and group). This customization
was achieved by sourcing the env script (e.g.,
/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch) during installation. Since we no longer
allow such flexibility, we do not need to source these env scripts
during package installation and removal.
This commit removes the ability to specify that a plugin requires the
keystore and instead creates the keystore on package installation or
when Elasticsearch is started for the first time. The reason that we opt
to create the keystore on package installation is to ensure that the
keystore has the correct permissions (the package installation scripts
run as root as opposed to Elasticsearch running as the elasticsearch
user) and to enable removing the keystore on package removal if the
keystore is not modified.
This commit removes running rest tests on the full zip and tar
distributions in favor of doing a simple extraction check like is done
for rpm and deb files. The rest tests are still run on the integ test
zip, at least for now (this should eventually be moved out to a different
location).
This commit moves the distribution specific tasks into the respective
archives and packages builds. The collocation of common and distribution
specific tasks make it much easier to reason about what is expected in a
particular distribution.
There is a bug in the for statement where we execute the JVM options
parser. The bug manfiests in the handling of paths with ) in the
name. The problem is this: we use a for statement to capture the output
of the JVM options parser. A for statement that executes a command
defers execution to cmd. There is this gem from the help:
1. If all of the following conditions are met, then quote characters
on the command line are preserved:
- no /S switch
- exactly two quote characters
- no special characters between the two quote characters,
where special is one of: &<>()@^|
- there are one or more whitespace characters between the
two quote characters
- the string between the two quote characters is the name
of an executable file.
2. Otherwise, old behavior is to see if the first character is
a quote character and if so, strip the leading character and
remove the last quote character on the command line, preserving
any text after the last quote character.
This means that the ) causes the quotes to be stripped which ruins
everything. This commit fixes this by delaying expansion of the paths.

Previously a user could set a custom config path to a relative directory
using ES_PATH_CONF. In a previous change related to enabling GC logging
by default, we forced the working directory for Elasticsearch to be
ES_HOME. This had the impact of causing all relative paths to be
relative to ES_HOME, against the intent of the user. This commit
addresses this by making ES_PATH_CONF absolute before we switch the
working directory to ES_HOME.
Relates #28700
This commit adds intermediate gradle projects for archive based
distributions (zip, tar) and package based distributions (rpm, deb). The
grouping allows the common distribution build file to be considerably
shorter and clearly separated from the common zip/tar and rpm/deb
configuration.
The remote check previously validated both the remote name and the
repository as well, meaning that if someone passed in a repository that
was not a github URL, it would fail. This meant that it was not possible
to fully test bwc out with multiple branches without first pushing to a
remote. Removing the full check allows a user to pass in the origin
remote as its remote, which is already added as a file based remote to
each bwc snapshot build. This will allow changes to be made locally
across all bwc branches, tested, and then pushed simultaneously.
The build.snapshot flag used by the main build was being propagated down
into the bwc snapshot builds, which is not correct. The bwc subprojects
are always meant to be snapshot builds, or null if they do not
exist. Marking these builds as non snapshots threw the release off as it
was looking for -SNAPSHOT builds.

This commit moves the semantic validation (like which version a plugin

This commit removes the extra layer of all plugin files existing under
"elasticsearch" within plugin zips. This simplifies building plugin zips
and removes the need for special logic of modules vs plugins.
When Elasticsearch is run as a service we should not use the console
logger otherwise we end up duplicating logging (to the Elasticsearch
logs and whereever standard output is captured). Previously we disabled
the console logger when started as a service using systemd (otherwise
the console logs are duplicated to the journal). This commit does the
same for the Windows service, starting Elasticsearch with the --quiet
flag to avoid standard output being written to the service stdout logs.
Relates #28618
Generalizing BWC building so that there is less code to modify for a release. This ensures we do not
need to think about what major or minor version is in the gradle code. It follows the general rules of the
elastic release structure. For more information on the rules, see the VersionCollection's javadoc.
This also removes the additional bwc snapshots that will never be released, such as 6.0.2, which were
being built and tested against every time we ran bwc tests.
Additionally, it creates 4 new projects that correspond to the different types of snapshots that may exist
for a given version. Its possible to now run those individual tasks to work out bwc logic whereas
previously it was impossible and the entire suite of bwc tests had to be run to work out any logic
changes in the build tools' bwc project. Please note that if the project does not make sense for the
version that is current, that an error will be thrown from that individual project if an attempt is made to
run it.
This should allow for automating the version bumps as well, since it removes all the hardcoded version
logic from the configs.
When elasticsearch was originally moved to gradle, the "provided" equivalent in maven had to be done through a plugin. Since then, gradle added the "compileOnly" configuration. This commit removes the provided plugin and replaces all uses with compileOnly.
Plugin descriptors currently contain an elasticsearch version,
which the plugin was built against, and a java version, which the plugin
was built with. These versions are read and validated, but not stored.
This commit keeps them in PluginInfo so they can be used later.
While seeing the elasticsearch version is less interesting (since it is
enforced to match that of the running elasticsearc node), the java
version is interesting since we only validate the format, not the actual
version. This also makes PluginInfo have full parity with the plugin
properties file.
We now read the plugin descriptor when removing an old plugin. This is
to check if we are removing a plugin that is extended by another
plugin. However, when reading the descriptor we enforce that it is of
the same version that we are. This is not the case when a user has
upgraded Elasticsearch and is now trying to remove an old plugin. This
commit fixes this by skipping the version enforcement when reading the
plugin descriptor only when removing a plugin.

This commit switches the internal format of the elasticsearch keystore
to no longer use java's KeyStore class, but instead encrypt the binary
data of the secrets using AES-GCM. The cipher key is generated using
PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512. Tests are also added for backcompat reading the v1
and v2 formats.
Currently meta plugins will ask for confirmation of security policy
exceptions for each bundled plugin. This commit collects the necessary
permissions of each bundled plugin, and asks for confirmation of all of
them at the same time.
In order to build a plugin that extends the painless whitelist, the spi
classes must be available to the plugin at compile time. This commit
moves the spi classes into a separate jar which will be published. Any
plugin authors whiching to extend painless through spi would then add a
compileOnly dependency on this jar.
Meta plugins move the unzipped plugin as is, but the inner plugins may
have a different directory name than their corresponding plugin
properties file specifies. This commit fixes installation to rename the
directory if necessary.
This commit modifies the build to require JDK 9 for
compilation. Henceforth, we will compile with a JDK 9 compiler targeting
JDK 8 as the class file format. Optionally, RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME can be set
as the runtime JDK used for running tests. To enable this change, we
separate the meaning of the compiler Java home versus the runtime Java
home. If the runtime Java home is not set (via RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME) then
we fallback to using JAVA_HOME as the runtime Java home. This enables:
- developers only have to set one Java home (JAVA_HOME)
- developers can set an optional Java home (RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME) to test
on the minimum supported runtime
- we can test compiling with JDK 9 running on JDK 8 and compiling with
JDK 9 running on JDK 9 in CI
* This change makes sure that we don't detect a file path containing a ':' as

This change modifies the installation for a meta plugin,
the content of the config and bin directory inside each bundled plugins are now moved in the meta plugin directory.
So instead of `$configDir/meta-plugin-name/bundled_plugin/name/` the content of the config
for a bundled plugin is now in `$configDir/meta-plugin-name`. Same applies for the bin directory.
This commit adds the ability to package multiple plugins in a single zip.
The zip file for a meta plugin must contains the following structure:
|____elasticsearch/
| |____ <plugin1> <-- The plugin files for plugin1 (the content of the elastisearch directory)
| |____ <plugin2> <-- The plugin files for plugin2
| |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties <-- example contents below
The meta plugin properties descriptor is mandatory and must contain the following properties:
description: simple summary of the meta plugin.
name: the meta plugin name
The installation process installs each plugin in a sub-folder inside the meta plugin directory.
The example above would create the following structure in the plugins directory:
|_____ plugins
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
If the sub plugins contain a config or a bin directory, they are copied in a sub folder inside the meta plugin config/bin directory.
|_____ config
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
|_____ bin
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
The sub-plugins are loaded at startup like normal plugins with the same restrictions; they have a separate class loader and a sub-plugin
cannot have the same name than another plugin (or a sub-plugin inside another meta plugin).
It is also not possible to remove a sub-plugin inside a meta plugin, only full removal of the meta plugin is allowed.

Otherwise newer versions of Gradle will see the outputs as stale and
remove the directory between having created the directory and copying
files into the directory (leading to the directory being created again,
this time missing some sub-directories).
This commit modifies the BWC build to invoke the Gradle wrapper. The
motivation for this is two-fold:
- BWC versions might be dependent on a different version of Gradle than
the current version of Gradle
- in a follow-up we are going to need to be able to set JAVA_HOME to a
different value than the current value of JAVA_HOME

This commit adds the infrastructure to plugin building and loading to
allow one plugin to extend another. That is, one plugin may extend
another by the "parent" plugin allowing itself to be extended through
java SPI. When all plugins extending a plugin are finished loading, the
"parent" plugin has a callback (through the ExtensiblePlugin interface)
allowing it to reload SPI.
This commit also adds an example plugin which uses as-yet implemented
extensibility (adding to the painless whitelist).

trying to find artifacts with "-SNAPSHOT" appended which would not have
been build since build.snapshot is false. To fix this, we have to push

We have tests that manually unpackage the RPM and Debian package
distributions and start a cluster manually (not from the service) and
run a basic suite of integration tests against them. This is problematic
because it is not how the packages are intended to be used (instead,
they are intended to be installed using the package installation tools,
and started as services) and so violates assumptions that we make about
directory paths. This commit removes these integration tests, instead
relying on the packaging tests to ensure the packages are not
broken. Additionally, we add a sanity check that the package
distributions can be unpackaged. Finally, with this change we can remove
some leniency from elasticsearch-env about checking for the existence of
the environment file which the leniency was there solely for these
integration tests.

JDK 9 has removed JVM options that were valid in JDK 8 (e.g., GC logging

8 and JDK 9, complicating development, complicating our packaging story,
and complicating operations. This commit extends the JVM options syntax
to specify the range of versions the option applies to. If the running
JVM matches the range of versions, the flag will be used to start the
JVM otherwise the flag will be ignored.
We implement this parser in Java for simplicity, and with this we start

Any CLI commands that depend on core Elasticsearch might touch classes
(directly or indirectly) that depends on logging. If they do this and
logging is not configured, Log4j will dump status error messages to the
console. As such, we need to ensure that any such CLI command configures
logging (with a trivial configuration that dumps log messages to the
console). Previously we did this in the base CLI command but with the
refactoring of this class out of core Elasticsearch, we no longer
configure logging there (since we did not want this class to depend on
settings and logging). However, this meant for some CLI commands (like
the plugin CLI) we were no longer configuring logging. This commit adds
base classes between the low-level command and multi-command classes
that ensure that logging is configured. Any CLI command that depends on
core Elasticsearch should use this infrastructure to ensure logging is
configured. There is one exception to this: Elasticsearch itself because
it takes reponsibility into its own hands for configuring logging from
Elasticsearch settings and log4j2.properties. We preserve this special
status.

* Removes minimum master nodes default number
At the moment the elasticsearch.yml contains the minimum master node setting commented out but with a value of 3. This has lead to users uncommenting the value and assuming it is a good default without reading that they need to change it to a quorum of master eligible nodes causing split brain in their cluster and defeating the point of the setting.
The default of 3 is not even a good default for our recommended setup of 3 dedicated master eligible nodes.
This changes the value o fthe commented out setting to something that will not produce valid config and should highlight that the value needs to be changed so users no longer uncomment the line without considering what the correct value for their setup should be.
* Addresses review comment
The JVM defaults to dumping the heap to the working directory of
Elasticsearch. For the RPM and Debian packages, this location is
/usr/share/elasticsearch. This directory is not writable by the
elasticsearch user, so by default heap dumps in this situation are
lost. This commit modifies the packaging for the RPM and Debian packages
to set the heap dump path to /var/lib/elasticsearch as the default
location for dumping the heap. This location is writable by the
elasticsearch user by default. We add documentation of this important
setting if /var/lib/elasticsearch is not suitable for receiving heap
dumps.

The output when building bwc versions is currently verbose, with git

When creating the keystore explicitly (from executing
elasticsearch-keystore create) or implicitly (for plugins that require
the keystore to be created on install) on an Elasticsearch package
installation, we are running as the root user. This leaves
/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.keystore having the wrong ownership
(root:root) so that the elasticsearch user can not read the keystore on
startup. This commit adds setgid to /etc/elasticsearch on package
installation so that when executing this directory (as we would when
creating the keystore), we will end up with the correct ownership
(root:elasticsearch). Additionally, we set the permissions on the
keystore to be 660 so that the elasticsearch user via its group can read
this file on startup.

This commit makes the security code aware of the Java 9 FilePermission changes (see #21534) and allows us to remove the `jdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath` system property.
When Elasticsearch starts up, it tries to create a keystore if one does
not exist; this is so the keystore can be seeded. With the RPM and
Debian packages, the keystore would be located in
/etc/elasticsearch. This configuration directory is typically not
writable by the elasticsearch user so the Elasticsearch process will not
have permission to create the keystore. Instead, the RPM and Debian
packages should create the keystore (if it does not exist) on package
installation. This commit enables these packages to do that in the
post-install routines.

We need to check if JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, and JAVA_OPTS are set, and if
ES_PATH_CONF is not set. However, if these variables are defined and
contain quotes, the current mechanism busts on them. Instead, we should
use safer mechanism for checking if these variable are defined or
not. This commit does that.

We previously explicitly set the HOSTNAME environment variable so that
${HOSTNAME} could be used a placeholder for defining the node.name in
elasticsearch.yml. We removed explicitly setting this because bash
defines HOSTNAME. The problem is that bash defines HOSTNAME as a bash
variable, not as an environment variable. Therefore, to restore the
previous behavior, we export the bash value for HOSTNAME as an
environment variable named HOSTNAME. For consistency between Windows and
the Unix-like systems, we also define HOSTNAME with a value equal to the
environment variable COMPUTERNAME on Windows.

We quoted some strings in the Windows elasticsearch-env script but echo
on Windows includes these quotes in the output. This commit removes
these quotes, they do not need to be output and are noise. Note that one
of the commands is wrapped in parentheses, this is to make obvious that
the space at the end of the corresponding line is intentionally there.
The error message for warning about the use of JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS on
Windows incorrectly uses $JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS to dereference the
environment variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS; on Windows it should be
%JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS%.
This instruction tells systemd to create a directory /var/run/elasticsearch before starting Elasticsearch.
Without this change, the default PID_DIR (/var/run/elasticsearch) may not exist, and without it, Elasticsearch will fail to start.
The environment variable CONF_DIR was previously inconsistently used in
our packaging to customize the location of Elasticsearch configuration
files. The importance of this environment variable has increased
starting in 6.0.0 as it's now used consistently to ensure Elasticsearch
and all secondary scripts (e.g., elasticsearch-keystore) all use the
same configuration. The name CONF_DIR is there for legacy reasons yet
it's too generic. This commit renames CONF_DIR to ES_PATH_CONF.

In bin/elasticsearch, we grep the command line looking for various flags
that indicate the process should be daemonized. To do this, we simply
test command status from the grep. Sadly, this is utterly broken
(unreleased) as instead we are testing the output of the command, not
the command status. This commit fixes this issue.

The build was ignoring suffixes like "beta1" and "rc1" on the version numbers which was causing the backwards compatibility packaging tests to fail because they expected to be upgrading from 6.0.0 even though they were actually upgrading from 6.0.0-beta1. This adds the suffixes to the information that the build scrapes from Version.java. It then uses those suffixes when it resolves artifacts build from the bwc branch and for testing.

Raw requests are supported only by the java yaml test runner and were introduced to test docs snippets. Some yaml tests ended up using them (see #23497) which causes failures for other language clients. This commit migrates those yaml tests to Java tests that send requests through the Java low-level REST client, and also moves the ability to send raw requests to a special client that's only available when testing docs snippets.
Closes#25694
Today our shell scripts march on if they encounter an error during
execution. One place that this actually causes a problem is with the
Java version checker. What can happen is this: if the user botches their
installation so that the JavaVersionChecker can not be found on the
classpath, when we attempt to run the Java version checker, first an
error message that the class can not be found is displayed, and then we
print a message that their version of Java is not compatible; this
happens even if they are using a Java 8 installation. The problem is
that we should have immediately aborted when the class could not be
loaded. Since we do not exit when the shell script encounters an error,
we end up conflating failue to run the version check with a failed
version check. Instead, we really should abort the moment that one of
our scripts encounters an error. To do this, we make the following
changes:
- enable set -e and set -o pipefail
- make the Java version checker responsible for printing the error
message to the console
- remove the exit status check from the scripts
- actually on Windows, we still have to check the exit status because
there is no equivalent of set -e
- when we check for daemonization, we can no longer check the exit
status from grep because a failed grep will abort the script;
instead, we move the grep execution to be the condition for the if as
this does not trip the set -e failure conditions
- we should source elasticsearch-env before doing anything, so we move
the definition of parse_jvm_options below sourcing elasticsearch-env
- we make consistent all places where we use a subshell to use
backticks

We have a bootstrap check for the maximum size of the virtual memory
address space for the Elasticsearch process. We can set this in the
service file for Elasticsearch when installed as a service on
systemd-based systems for a better user experience than them fumbling
through thinking they should set this via /etc/security/limits.d (as a
lot of pages on the Internet would tell them) not realizing that systemd
completely ignores these for services and then trying to figure out how
to add a unit file for the Elasticsearch service.

The systemd service file that ships with Elasticsearch installs on
systemd-based systems contains a suggestion for setting LimitMEMLOCK if
the user wants to enable bootstrap.memory_lock. However, this setting
this in the installed service file goes against best practices for
working with systemd, and goes against our existing documentation for
how to set this. Therefore, we should not have this suggestion in the
service file otherwise users might be led to think they should edit it
there.

On non-Windows platforms, we ignore the environment variable
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS (this is an environment variable that the JVM respects
by default for picking up extra JVM options). The primary reason that we
ignore this because of the Jayatana agent on Ubuntu; a secondary reason
is that it produces an annoying "Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: ..."
output message. When the elasticsearch-env batch script was introduced
for Windows, ignoring this environment variable was deliberately not
carried over as the primary reason does not apply on Windows. However,
after additional thinking, it seems that we should simply be consistent
to the extent possible here (and also avoid that annoying "Picked up
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: ..." on Windows too). This commit causes the Windows
version of elasticsearch-env to also ignore JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS.

When invoking the elasticsearch-env.bat batch script on Windows, if the
script exits due to an error (e.g., Java can not be found, or the wrong

this does not also terminate the caller, instead returning control. This
means we have to explicitly exit so that is what we do in this commit.

Today we strip some ignored JVM options before starting the main Java
process (e.g., we unset JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, and we ignore
JAVA_OPTS). However, there is another Java process that we start before
starting the main process: the Java version checker. We are currently
starting this before ignoring the undesired JVM options so the Java
version checker will pick up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and it will silently
ignore JAVA_OPTS. Instead, we should ignore JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS here too,
and not silently ignore JAVA_OPTS but instead warn before doing so (as
we already do for the main Java process). This commit rearranges the
execution of these steps so that we do the right thing here.

This commit removes a legacy check against running bin/elasticsearch
that is not produced from a distribution. This check exists for legacy
reasons, namely when bin/elasticsearch previously sat in the root of the
Elasticsearch repository. In this old scenario, someone might clone the
repository, see the bin folder and try to run bin/elasticsearch without
first production a distribution. Today, this is unlikely since
bin/elasticsearch now sits in
distribution/src/main/resources/bin/elasticsearch so first, bin is no
longer in the root of the repository, and second, the src indicates this
is source and not already for production. Moreover, our README in the
root of the repository provides clear instructions for getting started:
either download a distribution or build one from source. In the name of
simplicity, we therefore remove this legacy check.
Relates #25960
This commit cleans up a few items with the script packaging:
- remove the now dead elasticsearch.in.sh script
- add assertions for the existence elasticsearch-env and
elasticsearch-keystore
This commit addresses a change in core Elasticsearch where the
command-line flag --path.conf is no longer respected. Instead, the
configuration path must be passed through the system property
es.path.conf. We adapt the Windows batch file and the service for this
change.
This commit fixes tests for environment-aware commands. A previous
change added a check that es.path.conf is not null. The problem is that
this system property is not being set in tests so this check trips every
single time. To fix this, we move the check into a method that can be
overridden, and then override this method in relevant places in tests to
avoid having to set the property in tests. We also add a test that this
check works as expected.
A previous change enabled it so that users could configure the
configuration path via a command-line option --path.conf. However, a
subsequent change has made it so that we expect users to set the
configuration path via the environment variable CONF_DIR. To enable
this, we now pass the value of CONF_DIR as the value for the
command-line option --path.conf. This has two problems:
- the presence of --path.conf always being on the command line breaks
other flags like --help for multi-commands
- the scripts for which --help is not broken say that you can pass
--path.conf but this is a lie since passing it will make it appear
twice in the command-line arguments breaking the script
Since --path.conf is no longer the way that we want users to set the
configuration path, we should remove the --path.conf option. However, we
still need a way to get the configuration path from the scripts to the
running Java process. To do this, we now pass the configuration path as
a system property. This keeps it off the script command line fixing the
above problems.
The only remaining question (that I can see) is whether or not to
respect -Des.path.conf=<some path> if the user sets this in their
jvm.options or via ES_JAVA_OPTS. I think that we should not do this (as
has been our tradition), es.path.home and es.path.conf are special,
should be set by our scripts only so users should not be setting them at
all so we should not take any effort to respect these flags if the user
tries to otherwise use them.
Relates #25943
When running a script that depends on elasticsearch-env, the
elasticsearch-env script seeks backwards from the directory containing
the script to find Elasticsearch home. This is done by seeking backwards
in the path to find bin, and then going one directory above
that. Unfortunately, if the script is started relatively from the bin
directory, then bin will appear in the path since it is a relative
path. This commit fixes this by making the starting path absolute before
attempting to seek backwards.
This commit removes all external dependencies from the rest client jar
and shades them in an 'org.elasticsearch.client' package within the jar
using shadowJar gradle plugin. All projects that depended on the
existing jar have been converted to using the 'org.elasticsearch.client'
package prefixes to interact with the rest client.
Closes#25208
The quoting for the ExecStart entry is broken as quotes must wrap an
entire argument, and arguments are separated by spaces. It turns out
that any quoting is unnecessary here, systemd will handle it correctly
either way.
This commit introduces the elasticsearch-env script. The purpose of this
script is threefold:
- vastly simplify the various scripts used in Elasticsearch
- provide a script that can be included in other scripts in the
Elasticsearch ecosystem (e.g., plugins)
- correctly establish the environment for all scripts (e.g., so that
users can run `elasticsearch-keystore` from a package distribution
without having to worry about setting `CONF_DIR` first, otherwise the
keystore would be created in the wrong location)

Today we explicitly export the HOSTNAME variable from scripts. This is
probably a relic from the days when the scripts were not run on bash but

not need to set it in scripts. This commit removes this legacy.

Today we enable users to customize the environment through the use of
ES_INCLUDE. This made sense for legacy reasons when we did not have
nicities like jvm.options (so dumped JVM options in the default include

need from a dedicated environment script. This commit removes support
for ES_INCLUDE as a first step towards a dedicated include script.

The problem here is simple: when using direct buffers as in NIO, the JDK
relies on explict GC invocataions to trigger cleaning up direct buffers;
if such GCs do not occur and the direct buffer limit is reached, the JVM
will throw an out of memory exception. With explicit GCs disabled, the
JVM is neutered from explicitly cleaning up direct buffers in the act of
reserving a new direct buffer and instead relies on a GC occurring for
another reason. If such a GC never occurs, the JVM will OOM. This commit
removes disabling of explicit GCs. Note that these explicit GCs only
occur as a last ditch effort before going OOM when the JVM is trying to
reserve more direct memory. This is a known issue, see for example:
JDK-8142537.

This commit changes the default heap size to 1 GB. Experimenting with
elasticsearch is often done on laptops, and 1 GB is much friendlier to

should) adjust the heap size as necessary for their usecase.

On Debian-based systems the install scripts are run with set -e meaning
that if there is an error in executing one of these scripts then the
script fails. If systemd-sysctl is masked then trying to restart the
systemd-sysctl service to pick up the changes to vm.max_map_count will
fail leading to the post-install script failing. Instead, we should
account for the possbility of failure here by not letting the command to
restart this service exit with non-zero status code. This commit does
this, and adds a test for this situation.

This is a regression introduced in #25510, which removed the explicit fetching of upstream. Sadly this doesn't work if you don't have any local branch referring to `upstream` as an upstream branch.
Some times we need a fix / change to have two parts in two different branches (corresponding to two different ES releases). In order to be able to test these cases you need to run the BWC tests against a local branch rather than then using a branch from `github.com/elastic/elasticsearch`.
This commit adds a system property called `tests.bwc.refspec` that allows you to do it. Note that I've chosen to go with the simplest code change for now, at the expense of some user friendliness.
We previously tried to maintain (while not formally supporting) 32-bit

of 32-bit support.

Removes the `assemble` task from the `build` task when we have
removed `assemble` from the project. We removed `assemble` from
projects that aren't published so our releases will be faster. But
That broke CI because CI builds with `gradle precommit build` and,
it turns out, that `build` includes `check` and `assemble`. With
this change CI will only run `check` for projects without an
`assemble`.
Removes the `assemble` task from projects that are not published.
This should speed up `gradle assemble` by skipping projects that
don't need to be built. Which is useful because `gradle assemble`
is how we cut releases.
This prevents possible race conditions between the Elasticsearch JVM and
plugin native controller processes that can cause the Elasticsearch shutdown
to hang. The problem can happen when the JVM and the controller process
receive a SIGTERM at almost the same time.
(There's an assumption here that Elasticsearch will continue to use other
mechanisms to kill native controller processes.)

Commit bf007e8d93 was a forward port of logic needed in 5.x to get

When testing against the previous 5.x release, the bwc project incorrectly would checkout the 5.x

a check to compare the major version when making the decision on the branch to use.
During package install on systemd-based systems, some sysctl settings
should be set (e.g. vm.max_map_count).
In some environments, changing sysctl settings plainly does not work;
previously a global environment variable named
ES_SKIP_SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS was introduced to skip calling sysctl, but
this causes trouble for:
- configuration management systems, which usually cannot apply an env
var when running a package manager
- package upgrades, which will not have the env var set any more, and
thus leaving the package management system in a bad state (possibly
half-way upgraded, can be very hard to recover)
This removes the env var again and instead of calling systemd-sysctl
manually, tells systemd to restart the wrapper unit - which itself can
be masked by system administrators or management tools if it is known
that sysctl does not work in a given environment.
The restart is not silent on systems in their default configuration, but
is ignored if the unit is masked.

By default, the remove plugin CLI command preserves configuration

Removes the `distribution:bwc` project in favor of
`distribution:bwc-release-snapshot` and

snapshot of the latest stable branch (5.x now) if needed for
backwards compatibility.
Some packaging tests depend on snapshot versions of packaging
distributions yet the build does not use a repository that includes such
distributions. While we could add such a repository, a better strategy
is to follow our approach for other BWC tests where we depend on a
locally-compiled archive distribution. This commit adds a local
compilation of packaging artifacts and substitutes these anywhere that
we would otherwise depend on a snapshot of these artifacts.

happen in another followup.
This commit renames all rest test files to use the .yml extension

This commit fixes an issue when deleting the plugin directory while
executing the remove plugin command. Namely, we take out a file
descriptor on the plugin directory to traverse its contents to obtain
the list of files to delete. We leaked this file descriptor. On
Unix-based filesystems, this is not a problem, deleting the plugin
directory deletes the plugin directory. On Windows though, a delete is
not executed until the last file descriptor is closed. Since we leaked
this file descriptor, the plugin was not actually deleted. This led to
test failures that tried to cleanup left behind temporary directories
but these test failures were just exposing this bug. This commit fixes
this issue by ensuring that we close the file descriptor to the plugin
directory when we are finished with it.
Relates #24266
Today when removing a plugin, we attempt to move the plugin directory to
a temporary directory and then delete that directory from the
filesystem. We do this to avoid a plugin being in a half-removed
state. We previously tried an atomic move, and fell back to a non-atomic
move if that failed. Atomic moves can fail on union filesystems when the
plugin directory is not in the top layer of the
filesystem. Interestingly, the regular move can fail as well. This is
because when the JDK is executing such a move, it first tries to rename
the source directory to the target directory and if this fails with
EXDEV (as in the case of an atomic move failing), it falls back to
copying the source to the target, and then attempts to rmdir the
source. The bug here is that the JDK never deleted the contents of the
source so the rmdir will always fail (except in the case of an empty
directory).
Given all this silliness, we were inspired to find a different
strategy. The strategy is simple. We will add a marker file to the
plugin directory that indicates the plugin is in a state of
removal. This file will be the last file out the door during removal. If
this file exists during startup, we fail startup.

The plugin cli currently resides inside the elasticsearch jar. This
commit moves it into a plugin-cli jar. This is change alone is a no-op;
it does not change anything about what is loaded at runtime. But it will
allow easier testing (with fixtures in the future to test ES or maven
installation), as well as eventually not loading these classes when
starting elasticsearch.
This change simplifies how the rest test runner finds test files and
removes all leniency. Previously multiple prefixes and suffixes would
be tried, and tests could exist inside or outside of the classpath,
although outside of the classpath never quite worked. Now only classpath
tests are supported, and only one resource prefix is supported,
`/rest-api-spec/tests`.

After splitting integ tests into cluster configuration and the test
runner task, we still have dependencies of the test runner added as deps
of the cluster. This commit adds dependencies directly to the cluster,
so that the runner can have other dependencies independent of what is
needed for the cluster.
The bwc checkout for backcompat tests currently always tries to fetch
the latest from the upstream remote. This change makes fetching from
upstream conditional on not running an offline build.
Adds the option for a plugin to specify extra directories containing notices
and licenses files to be incorporated into the overall notices file that is
generated for the plugin.
This can be useful, for example, where the plugin has a non-Java dependency
that itself incorporates many 3rd party components.
Windows rest tests consistenly fail because the filesystem appears to be
an order of magnitude slower than that of *nix, at least in the context
of our rest tests. This commit overrides the suite timeout to 30 mins
for windows. From past failures, it appears this should be enough, as
the tests seem to fail when they are almost complete. The default suite
timeout for ESTestCase is 20 mins, so this leaves ample buffer for
windows shenanigans.
The LoggedExec task does not capture output when info logging is

so as not to break when info logging is enabled.
This will use File.toString() for the `git clone` command, which will

We currently have the last minor version of the previous major hardcoded
in tests like rolling upgrade. This change programatically finds this
during gradle initialization by parsing versions from Version.java.
This commit switches from executing gradle when building the bwc testing
zip through Exec, to using GradleBuild. In addition to not depending on
gradle being in the PATH, it also has the added benefit of much better
logging while the bwc build is going on (the actual tasks show up as
tasks of a subproject within the current build).
The current rest backcompat tests, which run against a mixed cluster of
5.x and 6.0 nodes, depend on snapshot builds of 5.x. However, this has
the potential for inconsistency that results in CI failures, and happens
quite often, whenever some backcompat logic is added to 5.x, but the bwc
test on master fails because the 5.x code has not yet been published as
a snapshot.
This change creates a git clone of the 5.x branch,
builds the zip distribution, and ties that into gradle substitutions for
the 5.x version.
After the removal of the joda time hack we used to have, we can cleanup

Gradle's finalizedBy on tasks only ensures one task runs after another,
but not immediately after. This is problematic for our integration tests
since it allows multiple project's integ test clusters to be
simultaneously. While this has not been a problem thus far (gradle 2.13
happened to keep the finalizedBy tasks close enough that no clusters
were running in parallel), with gradle 3.3 the task graph generation has
changed, and numerous clusters may be running simultaneously, causing
memory pressure, and thus generally slower tests, or even failure if the
system has a limited amount of memory (eg in a vagrant host).
This commit reworks how integ tests are configured. It adds an
`integTestCluster` extension to gradle which is equivalent to the current
`integTest.cluster` and moves the rest test runner task to
`integTestRunner`. The `integTest` task is then just a dummy task,
which depends on the cluster runner task, as well as the cluster stop
task. This means running `integTest` in one project will both run the
rest tests, and shut down the cluster, before running `integTest` in
another project.
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.

Today when users start Elasticsearch with their Java configuration
pointing to a pre-Java 8 install, they encounter a cryptic message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:

They often think that they have Java 8 installed but if their JAVA_HOME
or other configuration is causing them to start with a pre-Java 8

We introduce a Java version checker that runs on Java 6 as part of the

helpful error message to the user informing them of the Java version
that the runtime was started with. Otherwise, Elasticsearch starts as it
does today.
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.

By default, the JVM GC log file grows without
limitation. This is inconvenient for a long running
process like Elasticsearch.
With this commit we add an example configuration
for a rotating GC log in `conig/jvm.options`.
For certain situations, end-users need the base path for Elasticsearch
logs. Exposing this as a property is better than hard-coding the path
into the logging configuration file as otherwise the logging
configuration file could easily diverge from the Elasticsearch
configuration file. Additionally, Elasticsearch will only have
permissions to write to the log directory configured in the
Elasticsearch configuration file. This commit adds a property that
exposes this base path.
One use-case for this is configuring a rollover strategy to retain logs
for a certain period of time. As such, we add an example of this to the
documentation.
Additionally, we expose the property es.logs.cluster_name as this is
used as the name of the log files in the default configuration.
Finally, we expose es.logs.node_name in cases where node.name is
explicitly set in case users want to include the node name as part of
the name of the log files.

Right now closing a shard looks like it strands refresh listeners,
causing tests like
`delete/50_refresh/refresh=wait_for waits until changes are visible in search`
to fail. Here is a build that fails:
https://elasticsearch-ci.elastic.co/job/elastic+elasticsearch+multi_cluster_search+multijob-darwin-compatibility/4/console
This attempts to fix the problem by implements `Closeable` on
`RefreshListeners` and rejecting listeners when closed. More importantly
the act of closing the instance flushes all pending listeners
so we shouldn't have any stranded listeners on close.
Because it was needed for testing, this also adds the number of
pending listeners to the `CommonStats` object and all API to which
that flows: `_cat/nodes`, `_cat/indices`, `_cat/shards`, and
`_nodes/stats`.
Netty plays a lot of games with recycling byte buffers in thread local
caches, and using a pooled byte buffer allocator to reduce pressure on
the garbage collector.
The recycler in particular appears to be fraught with peril. It appears
that there are circumstances where the recycler does not recycle quickly
enough and can exceed its capacity leading to heap exhaustion and out of
memory errors. If you spend a few minutes reading the history of the
recycler on the Netty GitHub issues, it appears it has been nothing but
a source of trouble, and the project itself has an open issue that
proposes disabling by default and possibly even removing the recycler.
The pooled byte buffer allocator has problems itself. It sizes the pool
based on the number of runtime processors and can indeed grab a very
large percentage of the heap (in some cases 50% or more). Additionally,
the Netty project continues to struggle with leaks here.
We are seeing users struggle with issues in 5.x that I think are largely
driven by some of the problems here with Netty.
This change proposes to disable the recycler, and to disable the pooled
byte buffer allocator. I think that disabling these features will return
some of the stablity that these features appear to be losing us.
I have done performance testing on my workstation with disabling these
and I do not see a difference in performance. I propose that we make
this change in master and let some nightly benchmarks run to confirm
that there is not a difference in performance. If we are comfortable
with the performance changes, I propose backporting this to all active
branches.

This change is the first towards providing the ability to store
sensitive settings in elasticsearch. It adds the
`elasticsearch-keystore` tool, which allows managing a java keystore.
The keystore is loaded upon node startup in Elasticsearch, and used by
the Setting infrastructure when a setting is configured as secure.
There are a lot of caveats to this PR. The most important is it only
provides the tool and setting infrastructure for secure strings. It does
not yet provide for keystore passwords, keypairs, certificates, or even
convert any existing string settings to secure string settings. Those
will all come in follow up PRs. But this PR was already too big, so this
at least gets a basic version of the infrastructure in.
The two main things to look at. The first is the `SecureSetting` class,
which extends `Setting`, but removes the assumption for the raw value of the
setting to be a string. SecureSetting provides, for now, a single
helper, `stringSetting()` to create a SecureSetting which will return a
SecureString (which is like String, but is closeable, so that the
underlying character array can be cleared). The second is the
`KeyStoreWrapper` class, which wraps the java `KeyStore` to provide a
simpler api (we do not need the entire keystore api) and also extend
the serialized format to add metadata needed for loading the keystore
with no assumptions about keystore type (so that we can change this in
the future) as well as whether the keystore has a password (so that we
can know whether prompting is necessary when we add support for keystore
passwords).
* Remove a checked exception, replacing it with `ParsingException`.
* Remove all Parser classes for the yaml sections, replacing them with static methods.
* Remove `ClientYamlTestFragmentParser`. Isn't used any more.
* Remove `ClientYamlTestSuiteParseContext`, replacing it with some static utility methods.
I did not rewrite the parsers using `ObjectParser` because I don't think it is worth it right now.
A previous fix for the handling of paths on Windows related to paths
containing multiple spaces introduced a issue where if JAVA_HOME ends
with a backslash, then Elasticsearch will refuse to start. This is not a
critical bug as a workaround exists (remove the trailing backslash), but
should be fixed nevertheless. This commit addresses this situation while
not regressing the previous fix.

Elasticsearch can be run in a few different ways:
- from the command line on Linux and Windows
- as a service on Linux and Windows
on both 32-bit client and 64-bit server VMs. We strive for a great
out-of-the-box experience any of these combinations but today it is
lacking on 32-bit client JVMs and on the Windows service. There are two
deficiencies that arise:
- on any 32-bit client JVM we fail to start out of the box because we
force the server JVM in jvm.options
- when installing the Windows service, the thread stack size must be
specified in jvm.options
This commit attempts to address these deficiencies.
We should continue to force the server JVM because there are systems
where the server JVM is not active by default (e.g., the 32-bit JDK on
Windows). This does mean that if a user tries to run with a client JVM
they will see a failure message at startup but this is the best that we
can do if we want to continue to force the server JVM. Thus, this commit
at least documents this situation.
To improve the situation with installing the Windows service, this
commit adds a default setting for the thread stack size. This default is
chosen based on the default thread stack size across all 64-bit server
JVMs. This means that if a user tries to run with a 32-bit JVM they
could otherwise see significantly higher memory usage (this situation is
complicated, it's really only on Windows where the extra memory usage is
egregious, but cutting into the 32-bit address space on any system is
bad). So this commit makes it so that the out-of-the-box experience is
improved for the Windows service on 64-bit server JVMs and we document
the need to adjust this setting on 32-bit JVMs.
Again, we are focusing on the out-of-the-box experience here and this
means optimizing for the best experience on any 64-bit server JVM as
this covers the vast majority of the user base. The users that are on
32-bit JVMs will suffer a little bit but at least now any user on any
64-bit server JVM can start Elasticsearch out of the box.
Finally, we fix some references to the jvm.options documentation.

During package install on systemd-based systems, we try to set

Our default pattern layout truncates log messages. This is to avoid
blowing disk space from excessively log messages, which can happen if a

commit modifies the default pattern layout to trunacte from the end.

Adds a version constant for it, bwc indices, and a vagrant upgrade-from
version. Also bumps the "upgrade from" version for the backwards-5.0
test and adds `skip`s for tests that don't fail against 5.0 so we skip
them during the backwards testing.
Finally, this skips the "Shrink index via API" test because it fails
consistently for me. Inconsistently for CI, but consistently for me.
I'll work on making it consistent tomorrow.
On some systems these utilities are in /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl
and /usr/sbin/sysctl, and on others the /usr is dropped. This commit
accounts for that fact.
Our docs claim that we set vm.max_map_count automatically. This is not
quite the case. The story is that on SysV init we set vm.max_map_count
each time the service starts, which is good. On systemd, we create a
sysctl.d conf file that sets vm.map_max_count, but this is only
meaningful if the system is rebooted after package install. This commit
modifies the post-install script so that we run systemd-sysctl so that
the vm.max_map_count change occurs after package install without a
reboot.

All plugins currently have their own licenses dir for the
dependencyLicenses task, but core disables this and has the check inside
distribution. This may have been better for maven, but for
gradle it makes more sense to just use the dependencyLicenses task that
automatically exists inside :core, and remove the hacked up version that
is inside distribution.
At one point in the past when moving out the rest tests from core to
their own subproject, we had multiple test classes which evenly split up
the tests to run. However, we simplified this and went back to a single
test runner to have better reproduceability in tests. This change
removes the remnants of that multiplexing support.
On ubuntu 14.04, which uses upstart, where as our debian package uses
sysvinit, there is no stdout/stderr message printed when starting up,
because the start-stop-daemon swallows it.
As Elasticsearch is started to daemonize, we can remove the background
flag from the start-stop-daemon and thus see, if the system does not have
enough memory for starting up - something that happens often on VMs, since
Elasticsearch 5.0 uses 2gb by default instead of one.

away by the clean task. This commit addresses this issue, by pushing
creation of the directory out of the configuration phase.

Today when installing Elasticsearch from an archive distribution (tar.gz

the first time, it would be better to just include an empty plugins
directory in the archive distributions. This commit makes this the
case. Note that the package distributions already include an empty
plugins folder.

We have a "HUGE HACK" that allows us to publish zip artifacts to
Sonatype's OSS repository without javadoc and source jars. We don't
include those jars because the zip is just a repackaging of the
core and module jars for which we already publish the javadoc and
source jars. So we have a hack to publish the zip artifact when the
pom says the project is of type 'pom'.
I'm not sure why we need this pom instead of the pom generated by
nebula, but if we are going to have it then we need to populate it
with appropriate stuff like project name, description, and url.
* Build: Remove old maven deploy support
This change removes the old maven deploy that we have in parallel to
maven-publish, and makes maven-publish fully work with publishing to
maven local. Using `gradle publishToMavenLocal` should be used to
publish to .m2.
Note that there is an unfortunate hack that means for
zip artifacts we must first create/publish a dummy pom file, and then
follow that with the real pom file. It would be nice to have the pom
file contains packaging=zip, but maven central then requires sources and
javadocs. But our zips are really just attached artifacts, so we already
set the packaging type to pom for our zip files. This change just works
around a limitation of the underlying maven publishing library which
silently skips attached artifacts when the packaging type is set to pom.

When uninstalling or upgrading elasticsearch using the RPM package some empty directories remain on the filesystem:
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin
/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib
/usr/share/elasticsearch/modules
/usr/share/elasticsearch/modules/foo
Having empty directories in modules can prevent elasticsearch to start after an upgrade: the plugins service expects to find a plugin-descriptor.properties file in every sub directory of modules.
This PR cleans things a bit so that these empty directories are removed on upgrade/removal like it was in 2.x.
When upgrading elasticsearch using the RPM package, the scripts directory is removed if it's empty but it won't be recreated by the upgraded package. But after that the service won't start because the scripts dir is missing.
This commit modifies the logger names within Elasticsearch to be the
fully-qualified class name as opposed removing the org.elasticsearch
prefix and dropping the class name. This change separates the root
logger from the Elasticsearch loggers (they were equated from the
removal of the org.elasticsearch prefix) and enables log levels to be
set at the class level (instead of the package level).
Relates #20457
Today we add a prefix when logging within Elasticsearch. This prefix
contains the node name, and index and shard-level components if
appropriate.
Due to some implementation details with Log4j 2 , this does not work for
integration tests; instead what we see is the node name for the last
node to startup. The implementation detail here is that Log4j 2 there is
only one logger for a name, message factory pair, and the key derived
from the message factory is the class name of the message factory. So,
when the last node starts up and starts setting prefixes on its message
factories, it will impact the loggers for the other nodes.
Additionally, the prefixes are lost when logging an exception. This is
due to another implementation detail in Log4j 2. Namely, since we log
exceptions using a parameterized message, Log4j 2 decides that that
means that we do not want to use the message factory that we have
provided (the prefix message factory) and so logs the exception without
the prefix.
This commit fixes both of these issues.

This commit adds a -q/--quiet option to Elasticsearch so that it does not log anything in the console and closes stdout & stderr streams.

The deprecation logger is an important way to make visible features of
