It's possible for a constant_keyword to have a 'null' value before any documents
are seen that contain a value for the field. In this case, no documents have a
value for the field, and 'exists' queries should return no documents.
Backports #55933 to 7.x
Implements value_count and avg aggregations over Histogram fields as discussed in #53285
- value_count returns the sum of all counts array of the histograms
- avg computes a weighted average of the values array of the histogram by multiplying each value with its associated element in the counts array
Implements Sum aggregation over Histogram fields by summing the value of each bucket multiplied by their count as requested in #53285
Backports #55681 to 7.x
This commit adds a new point field that is able to index arbitrary pair of values (x/y)
in the cartesian space. It only supports filtering using shape queries at the moment.
It seemed confusing for users that our top-level mapping page still had a
prominent section named 'Mapping Type'. This PR reworks the docs to remove this
reference and adds a note about types removal (similar to the note we added to
other APIs like put mapping).
* New wildcard field optimised for wildcard queries (#49993)
Indexes values using size 3 ngrams and also stores the full original as a binary doc value.
Wildcard queries operate by using a cheap approximation query on the ngram field followed up by a more expensive verification query using an automaton on the binary doc values. Also supports aggregations and sorting.
Per the [Asciidoctor docs][0], Asciidoctor replaces the following
syntax with double arrows in the rendered HTML:
* => renders as ⇒
* <= renders as ⇐
This escapes several unintended replacements, such as in the Painless
docs.
Where appropriate, it also replaces some double arrow instances with
single arrows for consistency.

This field is a specialization of the `keyword` field for the case when all
documents have the same value. It typically performs more efficiently than
keywords at query time by figuring out whether all or none of the documents
match at rewrite time, like `term` queries on `_index`.
The name is up for discussion. I liked including `keyword` in it, so that we
still have room for a `singleton_numeric` in the future. However I'm unsure
whether to call it `singleton`, `constant` or something else, any opinions?
For this field there is a choice between
1. accepting values in `_source` when they are equal to the value configured
in mappings, but rejecting mapping updates
2. rejecting values in `_source` but then allowing updates to the value that
is configured in the mapping
This commit implements option 1, so that it is possible to reindex from/to an
index that has the field mapped as a keyword with no changes to the source.
Backport of #49713
Adds a warning admonition stating that the `index_options` mapping
parameter is intended only for `text` fields.
Removes an outdated statement regarding default values for numeric
and other datatypes.
Backport of #51233 to the seven dot x branch.
Tries to load a `Mapper` instance for the mapping snippet of a dynamic template.
This should catch things like using an analyzer that is undefined or mapping attributes that are unused.
This is best effort:
* If `{{name}}` placeholder is used in the mapping snippet then validation is skipped.
* If `match_mapping_type` is not specified then validation is performed for all mapping types.
If parsing succeeds with a single mapping type then this the dynamic mapping is considered valid.
If is detected that a dynamic template mapping snippet is invalid at mapping update time then the mapping update is failed for indices created on 8.0.0-alpha1 and later. For indices created on prior version a deprecation warning is omitted instead. In 7.x clusters the mapping update will never fail in case of an invalid dynamic template mapping snippet and a deprecation warning will always be omitted.

The example of how to access the nano value of a date_nanos field has
been broken since it was created. This commit fixes it to use the
correct scripting methods.
closes#51931
Add a new cluster setting `search.allow_expensive_queries` which by
default is `true`. If set to `false`, certain queries that have
usually slow performance cannot be executed and an error message
is returned.
- Queries that need to do linear scans to identify matches:
- Script queries
- Queries that have a high up-front cost:
- Fuzzy queries
- Regexp queries
- Prefix queries (without index_prefixes enabled
- Wildcard queries
- Range queries on text and keyword fields
- Joining queries
- HasParent queries
- HasChild queries
- ParentId queries
- Nested queries
- Queries on deprecated 6.x geo shapes (using PrefixTree implementation)
- Queries that may have a high per-document cost:
- Script score queries
- Percolate queries
Closes: #29050
(cherry picked from commit a8b39ed842c7770bd9275958c9f747502fd9a3ea)
The way it was originally written, it sounds like
we are boosting at query time.
Of course, the effect is at query time,
but the point here is that boosting is done at index time
This PR adds per-field metadata that can be set in the mappings and is later
returned by the field capabilities API. This metadata is completely opaque to
Elasticsearch but may be used by tools that index data in Elasticsearch to
communicate metadata about fields with tools that then search this data. A
typical example that has been requested in the past is the ability to attach
a unit to a numeric field.
In order to not bloat the cluster state, Elasticsearch requires that this
metadata be small:
- keys can't be longer than 20 chars,
- values can only be numbers or strings of no more than 50 chars - no inner
arrays or objects,
- the metadata can't have more than 5 keys in total.
Given that metadata is opaque to Elasticsearch, field capabilities don't try to
do anything smart when merging metadata about multiple indices, the union of
all field metadatas is returned.
Here is how the meta might look like in mappings:
```json
{
"properties": {
"latency": {
"type": "long",
"meta": {
"unit": "ms"
}
}
}
}
```
And then in the field capabilities response:
```json
{
"latency": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggreggatable": true,
"meta": {
"unit": [ "ms" ]
}
}
}
}
```
When there are no conflicts, values are arrays of size 1, but when there are
conflicts, Elasticsearch includes all unique values in this array, without
giving ways to know which index has which metadata value:
```json
{
"latency": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggreggatable": true,
"meta": {
"unit": [ "ms", "ns" ]
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#33267
The docs/reference/redirects.asciidoc file stores a list of relocated or
deleted pages for the Elasticsearch Reference documentation.
This prunes several older redirects that are no longer needed and
don't require work to fix broken links in other repositories.
Users often mistakenly map numeric IDs to numeric datatypes. However,
this is often slow for the `term` and other term-level queries.
The "Tune for search speed" docs includes advice for mapping numeric
IDs to `keyword` fields. However, this tip is not included in the
`numeric` or `keyword` field datatype doc pages.
This rewords the tip in the "Tune for search speed" docs, relocates it
to the `numeric` field docs, and reuses it using tagged regions.
