The documentation states that scrolls are automatically closed when all
documents are consumed, but this is not the case. I first tried to fix
the code to close scrolls automatically but this made REST tests fail
because clearing a scroll that is already closed returned a 4xx error
instead of a 2xx code, so this has probably been this way for a very long
time.
Just like specifying `?preference=_primary`, this adds the ability to
specify `?preference=_replica` or `?preference=_replica_first` on
requests that support it.
Resolves#12222
This change unifies the way scripts and templates are specified for all instances in the codebase. It builds on the Script class added previously and adds request building and parsing support as well as the ability to transfer script objects between nodes. It also adds a Template class which aims to provide the same functionality for template APIs
Closes#11091
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.
Closes#10627Closes#11067
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.

Add methods to operate on multi-valued fields in the expressions language.
Note that users will still not be able to access individual values
within a multi-valued field.
The following methods will be included:
* min
* max
* avg
* median
* count
* sum
Additionally, changes have been made to MultiValueMode to support the
new median method.

Remove the ability to specify search type ‘query_and_fetch’ and
‘df_query_and_fetch’ from the REST API.
- Adds REST tests
- Updates REST API spec to remove ‘query_and_fetch’ and
‘df_query_and_fetch’ as options
- Removes documentation for these options
Closes#9606
This commit brings the benefits of the `count` search type to search requests
that have a `size` of 0:
- a single round-trip to shards (no fetch phase)
- ability to use the query cache
Since `count` now provides no benefits over `query_then_fetch`, it has been
deprecated.
Close#7630
The behaviour is better in the case someone has multiple levels of nested object fields defined in the mapping and like to define a single inner_hits definition that is two or more levels deep.
If someone wants inner hits on a nested field that is 2 levels deep the following would need to be defined:
```
{
...
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level1" : {
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level2" : {
"query" : { .... }
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
With this change the above can be defined as:
```
{
...
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level1.level2" : {
"query" : { .... }
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#9251
Changed search_type docs to reflect that the `(dfs_)query_and_fetch` modes are an internal optimization and should not be specified explicitly by the user.
Relates to #9606
We now have a very useful annotation to mark features or parameters as
experimental. Let's use it! This commit replaces some custom text warnings with
this annotation and adds this annotation to some existing features/parameters:
- inner_hits (unreleased yet)
- terminate_after (released in 1.4)
- per-bucket doc count errors in the terms agg (released in 1.4)
I also tagged with this annotation settings which should either be not needed
(like the ability to evict entries from the filter cache based on time) or that
are too deep into the way that Elasticsearch works like the Directory
implementation or merge settings.
Close#9563
Inner hits allows to embed nested inner objects, children documents or the parent document that contributed to the matching of the returned search hit as inner hits, which would otherwise be hidden.

This is functionally equivalent to before, so there should be no
user-visible impact, except I added a NOTE in the docs warning about
the interaction of pagination and rescoring.
Closes#6232Closes#7707
Aggregations are collection-wide statistics, which is incompatible with the
collection mode of search_type=SCAN since it doesn't collect all matches on
calls to the search API.
Close#7429
Aggregations are collection-wide statistics so they would always be the same.
In order to save CPU/bandwidth, we can just return them on the first page.
Same as #1642 but for aggregations.
Because json objects are unordered this also adds an explicit order syntax
that looks like
"highlight": {
"fields": [
{"title":{ /*params*/ }},
{"text":{ /*params*/ }}
]
}
This is not useful for any of the builtin highlighters but will be useful
in plugins.
Closes#4649
In #4052 we added support for highlighting multi term queries using the postings highlighter. That worked only for top-level queries though, and not for multi term queries that are nested for instance within a bool query, or filtered query, or a constant score query.
The way we make this work is by walking the query structure and temporarily overriding the query rewrite method with a method that allows for multi terms extraction.
Closes#5102
Detects if rescores arrive as an array instead of a plain object. If so
then parse each element of the array as a separate rescore to be executed
one after another. It looks like this:
"rescore" : [ {
"window_size" : 100,
"query" : {
"rescore_query" : {
"match" : {
"field1" : {
"query" : "the quick brown",
"type" : "phrase",
"slop" : 2
}
}
},
"query_weight" : 0.7,
"rescore_query_weight" : 1.2
}
}, {
"window_size" : 10,
"query" : {
"score_mode": "multiply",
"rescore_query" : {
"function_score" : {
"script_score": {
"script": "log10(doc['numeric'].value + 2)"
}
}
}
}
} ]
Rescores as a single object are still supported.
Closes#4748
Adds a new FetchSubPhase, FieldDataFieldsFetchSubPhase, which loads the
field data cache for a field and returns an array of values for the
field.
Also removes `doc['<field>']` and `_source.<field>` workaround no longer
needed in field name resolving.
Closes#4492
The FVH was throwing away some boosts on queries stopping a number of
ways to boost phrase matches to the top of the list of fragments from
working.
The plain highlighter also doesn't work for this but that is because it
doesn't support the concept of the same term having a different score at
different positions.
Also update documentation claiming that FHV is nicer for weighing terms
found by query combinations.

The percolator uses this option to deal with the fact that the MemoryIndex doesn't support stored fields,
this is possible b/c the _source of the document being percolated is always present.
Closes#4348
The Fast Vector Highlighter can combine matches on multiple fields to
highlight a single field using `matched_fields`. This is most
intuitive for multifields that analyze the same string in different
ways. Example:
{
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "content.plain:running scissors",
"fields": ["content"]
}
},
"highlight": {
"order": "score",
"fields": {
"content": {
"matched_fields": ["content", "content.plain"],
"type" : "fvh"
}
}
}
}
Closes#3750
Requires field index_options set to "offsets" in order to store positions and offsets in the postings list.
Considerably faster than the plain highlighter since it doesn't require to reanalyze the text to be highlighted: the larger the documents the better the performance gain should be.
Requires less disk space than term_vectors, needed for the fast_vector_highlighter.
Breaks the text into sentences and highlights them. Uses a BreakIterator to find sentences in the text. Plays really well with natural text, not quite the same if the text contains html markup for instance.
Treats the document as the whole corpus, and scores individual sentences as if they were documents in this corpus, using the BM25 algorithm.
Uses forked version of lucene postings highlighter to support:
- per value discrete highlighting for fields that have multiple values, needed when number_of_fragments=0 since we want to return a snippet per value
- manually passing in query terms to avoid calling extract terms multiple times, since we use a different highlighter instance per doc/field, but the query is always the same
The lucene postings highlighter api is quite different compared to the existing highlighters api, the main difference being that it allows to highlight multiple fields in multiple docs with a single call, ensuring sequential IO.
The way it is introduced in elasticsearch in this first round is a compromise trying not to change the current highlight api, which works per document, per field. The main disadvantage is that we lose the sequential IO, but we can always refactor the highlight api to work with multiple documents.
Supports pre_tag, post_tag, number_of_fragments (0 highlights the whole field), require_field_match, no_match_size, order by score and html encoding.
Closes#3704
You can configure the highlighting api to return an excerpt of a field
even if there wasn't a match on the field.
The FVH makes excerpts from the beginning of the string to the first
boundary character after the requested length or the boundary_max_scan,
whichever comes first. The Plain highlighter makes excerpts from the
beginning of the string to the end of the last token before the requested
length.
Closes#1171
The clear scroll api allows clear all resources associated with a `scroll_id` by deleting the `scroll_id` and its associated SearchContext.
