The current heuristic to compute a default shard size is pretty aggressive,
it returns `max(10, number_of_shards * size)` as a value for the shard size.
I think making it less aggressive has the benefit that it would reduce the
likelyness of running into OOME when there are many shards (yearly
aggregations with time-based indices can make numbers of shards in the
thousands) and make the use of breadth-first more likely/efficient.
This commit replaces the heuristic with `size * 1.5 + 10`, which is enough
to have good accuracy on zipfian distributions.
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
Most aggregations (terms, histogram, stats, percentiles, geohash-grid) now
support a new `missing` option which defines the value to consider when a
field does not have a value. This can be handy if you eg. want a terms
aggregation to handle the same way documents that have "N/A" or no value
for a `tag` field.
This works in a very similar way to the `missing` option on the `sort`
element.
One known issue is that this option sometimes cannot make the right decision
in the unmapped case: it needs to replace all values with the `missing` value
but might not know what kind of values source should be produced (numerics,
strings, geo points?). For this reason, we might want to add an `unmapped_type`
option in the future like we did for sorting.
