Currently we have many different places that convert String to UTF-8
bytes and back. We shouldn't maintain more code than necessary to
do this conversion and rather use Lucene's support for it.
This commit integrates the forbiddenAPI checks that checks
Java byte code against a list of "forbidden" API signatures.
The commit also contains the fixes of the current source code
that didn't pass the default API checks.
See https://code.google.com/p/forbidden-apis/ for details.
Closes#3059
* Weights are calculated per index and incorporate index level, global and primary related parameters
* Balance operations are executed based on a win maximation strategy that tries to relocate shards
first that offer the biggest gain towards the weight functions optimum
* The WeightFunction allows settings to prefer index based balance over global balance and vice versa
* Balance operations can be throttled by raising a threshold resulting in less agressive balance operations
* WeightFunction shipps with defaults to achive evenly distributed indexes while maintaining a global balance
Closes#2555
When setting cluster.routing.allocation.disable_allocation, it causes new indices primary shards to not be allocated. By default, new indices created should allow to, at the very least, allocate primary shards so they become operations. A new setting, cluster.routing.allocation.disable_new_allocation, allows to also disable "new" allocations.
closes#2258.
