This change removes the `postings` highlighter. This highlighter has been removed from Lucene master (7.x) because it behaves
exactly like the `unified` highlighter when index_options is set to `offsets`:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7815
It also makes the `unified` highlighter the default choice for highlighting a field (if `type` is not provided).
The strategy used internally by this highlighter remain the same as before, it checks `term_vectors` first, then `postings` and ultimately it re-analyzes the text.
Ultimately it rewrites the docs so that the options that the `unified` highlighter cannot handle are clearly marked as such.
There are few features that the `unified` highlighter is not able to handle which is why the other highlighters (`plain` and `fvh`) are still available.
I'll open separate issues for these features and we'll deprecate the `fvh` and `plain` highlighters when full support for these features have been added to the `unified`.
Now that indices have a single type by default, we can move to the next step
and identify documents using their `_id` rather than the `_uid`.
One notable change in this commit is that I made deletions implicitly create
types. This helps with the live version map in the case that documents are
deleted before the first type is introduced. Otherwise there would be no way
to differenciate `DELETE index/foo/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1` from
`DELETE index/bar/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1`, even though those are
different if versioning is involved.
We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.
Some notes about the change:
- it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
- it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
- two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
It was accidentally renamed `enabled_position_increment` in the cleanups
for 5.0. This adds `enable_position_increment` as a deprecated alias
so it will continue to work.
This commit removes the following queries and parameters (which were deprecated in 5.0):
* GeoPointDistanceRangeQuery
* coerce, and ignore_malformed for GeoBoundingBoxQuery, GeoDistanceQuery, GeoPolygonQuery, and GeoDistanceSort
There was a typo in the `ParseField` declaration. I know
we want to port these parsers to `ObjectParser` eventually
but I don't have the energy for that today and want to get
this fixed.
Closes#22722
Currently both ProfileResult and CollectorResult print the time field in a human readable string format
(e.g. "time": "55.20315000ms"). When trying to parse this back to a long value, for example to use in
the planned high level java rest client, we can lose precision because of conversion and rounding issues.
This change adds a new additional field (`time_in_nanos`) to the profile response to be able to get the
original time value in nanoseconds back.
The old `time` field is only printed when the `?`human=true` flag in the url is set. This follow the behaviour for
all other stats-related apis. Also the format of the `time` field is slightly changed. Instead of always formatting
the output as a 10-digit ms value, by using the `XContentBuilder#timeValueField()` method we now print
the largest time unit present is used (e.g. "s", "ms", "micros").
After deprecating getters and setters and the query DSL parameter in 5.x,
support for `minimum_number_should_match` can be removed entirely. Also
consolidated comments with the ones on 5.x branch and added an entry to the
migration docs.
Our query DSL supports empty queries (`{}`), which have a different meaning depending on the query that holds it, either ignored, match_all or match_none. We deprecated the support for empty queries in 5.0, where we log a deprecation warning wherever they are used.
The way we supported it once we moved query parsing to the coordinating node was having an Optional<QueryBuilder> return type in all of our parse methods (called fromXContent). See #17624. The central place for this was QueryParseContext#parseInnerQueryBuilder. We can now remove all the optional return types and simply throw an exception whenever an empty query is found.
Currently, the `terms` query is just syctactic sugar for a `bool` query when
used in a query context. This change proposes to always generate the same query
in query and filter contexts, which is less confusing.
The `type` parameter has always been accepted by the search_shards api, probably to make the api and its urls the same as search. Truth is that the type never had any effect, it's been ignored from day one while accepting it may make users think that we actually do something with it.
This commit removes support for the type parameter from the REST layer and the Java API. Backwards compatibility is maintained on the transport layer though.
The new added serialization test also uncovered a bug in the java API where the `ClusterSearchShardsRequest` could be created with no arguments, but the indices were required to be not null otherwise the request couldn't be serialized as `writeTo` would throw NPE. Fixed by setting a default value (empty array) for indices.
This changes only the query parsing behavior to be strict when searching on
boolean values. We continue to accept the variety of values during index time,
but searches will only be parsed using `"true"` or `"false"`.
Resolves#21545
The collect_payloads parameter of the span_near query was previously
deprecated with the intention to be removed. This commit removes this
parameter.
