Currently we have a fairly complicated logic in the engine constructor logic to deal with all the
various ways we want to mutate the lucene index and translog we're opening.
We can:
1) Create an empty index
2) Use the lucene but create a new translog
3) Use both
4) Force a new history uuid in all cases.
This leads complicated code flows which makes it harder and harder to make sure we cover all the
corner cases. This PR tries to take another approach. Constructing an InternalEngine always opens
things as they are and all needed modifications are done by static methods directly on the
directory, one at a time.
Currently the Translog constructor is capable both of opening an existing translog and creating a
new one (deleting existing files). This PR separates these two into separate code paths. The
constructors opens files and a dedicated static methods creates an empty translog.
The new ops based recovery, introduce as part of #10708, is based on the assumption that all operations below the global checkpoint known to the replica do not need to be synced with the primary. This is based on the guarantee that all ops below it are available on primary and they are equal. Under normal operations this guarantee holds. Sadly, it can be violated when a primary is restored from an old snapshot. At the point the restore primary can miss operations below the replica's global checkpoint, or even worse may have total different operations at the same spot. This PR introduces the notion of a history uuid to be able to capture the difference with the restored primary (in a follow up PR).
The History UUID is generated by a primary when it is first created and is synced to the replicas which are recovered via a file based recovery. The PR adds a requirement to ops based recovery to make sure that the history uuid of the source and the target are equal. Under normal operations, all shard copies will stay with that history uuid for the rest of the index lifetime and thus this is a noop. However, it gives us a place to guarantee we fall back to file base syncing in special events like a restore from snapshot (to be done as a follow up) and when someone calls the truncate translog command which can go wrong when combined with primary recovery (this is done in this PR).
We considered in the past to use the translog uuid for this function (i.e., sync it across copies) and thus avoid adding an extra identifier. This idea was rejected as it removes the ability to verify that a specific translog really belongs to a specific lucene index. We also feel that having a history uuid will serve us well in the future.
The response is attempting to illustrate the sync_id marker, but in
the test the index is too "fresh" to have a sync marker. So the test
needs to execute a sync flush behind the scenes so that the marker
is present
Today when parsing a stats request, Elasticsearch silently ignores
incorrect metrics. This commit removes lenient parsing of stats requests
for the nodes stats and indices stats APIs.

Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
To better distribute the memory allocating to indexing, the IndexingMemoryController periodically checks the different shard for their last indexing activity. If no activity has happened for a while, the controller marks the shards as in active and allocated it's memory buffer budget (but a small minimal budget) to other active shards. The recently added synced flush feature (#11179, #11336) uses this inactivity trigger to attempt as a trigger to attempt adding a sync id marker (which will speed up future recoveries).
We wait for 30m before declaring a shard inactive. However, these days the operation just requires a refresh and is light. We can be stricter (and 5m) increase the chance a synced flush will be triggered.
Closes#11479
#10032 introduced the notion of sealing an index by marking it with a special read only marker, allowing for a couple of optimization to happen. The most important one was to speed up recoveries of shards where we know nothing has changed since they were online by skipping the file based sync phase. During the implementation we came up with a light notion which achieves the same recovery benefits but without the read only aspects which we dubbed synced flush. The fact that it was light weight and didn't put the index in read only mode, allowed us to do it automatically in the background which has great advantage. However we also felt the need to allow users to manually trigger this operation.
The implementation at #11179 added the sync flush internal logic and the manual (rest) rest API. The name of the API was modeled after the sealing terminology which may end up being confusing. This commit changes the API name to match the internal synced flush naming, namely `{index}/_flush/synced'.
On top of that it contains a couple other changes:
- Remove all java client API. This feature is not supposed to be called programtically by applications but rather by admins.
- Improve rest responses making structure similar to other (flush) API
- Change IndexShard#getOperationsCount to exclude the internal +1 on open shard . it's confusing to get 1 while there are actually no ongoing operations
- Some minor other clean ups
The `full` option and `FlushType.NEW_WRITER` only exists to allow
realtime changes to two settings (`index.codec` and `index.concurrency`).
Those settings are very expert and don't really need to be updateable
in realtime.
This commit adds the ability to force blocking on the flush operaition
to make sure all files have been written and synced to disk. Without
this option a flush might be executing at the same time causing the
current flush to fail and return before all files being synced.

Closes#4634
Refresh flag in flush is problematic, since the shards refresh is allowed to execute on is different compared to the flush shards. In order to do flush and then refresh, they should be executed as separate APIs when needed.
