The regex for the response to `GET _cat/health?v` in `getting-started.asciidoc`
requires `max_task_wait_time` to match `(-|\\d+(micros|ms|s))`, which doesn't
match times such as `3.9ms` that contain a decimal point. This commit adjusts
the regex to match times formatted like this too.
Fixes#47537
The _cat/health call in getting-started assumes that the master task max
wait time is always 0 (-), however, the test could sometimes run into a
short wait time (like some ms). Fixed to allow this.
This commit updates the documentation to
- use the batch file included with the zip distribution; the exe file is included in the MSI only.
- introduce a space between the -E arguments and their values. Without a space (or quoted, but adding a space is cleaner), the argument will fail with PowerShell
(cherry picked from commit 5c8dbcedb0edf3a48ca1ec52aad9ea41fa941f8a)
After starting up elasticsearch the documentation said that their node
name was "6-bjhwl" but in the documentation's output I did not see that
node name. Instead I saw the node name as `localhost.localdomain`
This commit changes the note in docs about required java version to note
the existence of the bundled jdk and how to bring your own java. It also
reorganizes the zip/targz docs as zip is no longer suitable on
Linux/MacOS.
* Update the top-level 'getting started' guide.
* Remove custom types from the painless getting started documentation.
* Fix an incorrect references to '_doc' in the cardinality query docs.
* Update the _update docs to use the typeless API format.
This commit changes the default for the `track_total_hits` option of the search request
to `10,000`. This means that by default search requests will accurately track the total hit count
up to `10,000` documents, requests that match more than this value will set the `"total.relation"`
to `"gte"` (e.g. greater than or equals) and the `"total.value"` to `10,000` in the search response.
Scroll queries are not impacted, they will continue to count the total hits accurately.
The default is set back to `true` (accurate hit count) if `rest_total_hits_as_int` is set in the search request.
I choose `10,000` as the default because that's also the number we use to limit pagination. This means that users will be able to know how far they can jump (up to 10,000) even if the total number of hits is not accurate.
Closes#33028
Some systems default to a nofile ulimit of 65535. To reduce the pain of
deploying Elasticsearch to such systems, this commit lowers the required
limit from 65536 to 65535.
This commit adds the last sequence number and primary term of the last operation that have
modified a document to `GetResult` and uses it to power the Update API.

This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

Changes the default of the `node.name` setting to the hostname of the
machine on which Elasticsearch is running. Previously it was the first 8
characters of the node id. This had the advantage of producing a unique
name even when the node name isn't configured but the disadvantage of
being unrecognizable and not being available until fairly late in the
startup process. Of particular interest is that it isn't available until
after logging is configured. This forces us to use a volatile read
whenever we add the node name to the log.
Using the hostname is available immediately on startup and is generally
recognizable but has the disadvantage of not being unique when run on
machines that don't set their hostname or when multiple elasticsearch
processes are run on the same host. I believe that, taken together, it
is better to default to the hostname.
1. Running multiple copies of Elasticsearch on the same node is a fairly
advanced feature. We do it all the as part of the elasticsearch build
for testing but we make sure to set the node name then.
2. That the node.name defaults to some flavor of "localhost" on an
unconfigured box feels like it isn't going to come up too much in
production. I expect most production deployments to at least set the
hostname.
As a bonus, production deployments need no longer set the node name in
most cases. At least in my experience most folks set it to the hostname
anyway.
We used to set `maxScore` to `0` within `TopDocs` in situations where there is really no score as the size was set to `0` and scores were not even tracked. In such scenarios, `Float.Nan` is more appropriate, which gets converted to `max_score: null` on the REST layer. That's also more consistent with lucene which set `maxScore` to `Float.Nan` when merging empty `TopDocs` (see `TopDocs#merge`).
* Modified a reference to real time to match the previous line reference of
realtime.
* Modified eg to e.g. as it's an abbreviation for the latin exempli gratia
* Added missing pronoun to `_executing_filters` section.
This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.
