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).
This adds a new `_ignored` meta field which indexes and stores fields that have
been ignored at index time because of the `ignore_malformed` option. It makes
malformed documents easier to identify by using `exists` or `term(s)` queries
on the `_ignored` field.
Closes#29494
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
This improves the way similarities are plugged in in order to:
- reject the classic similarity on 7.x indices and emit a deprecation
warning otherwise
- reject unkwown parameters on 7.x indices and emit a deprecation
warning otherwise
Even though this breaks the plugin API, I'd like to backport to 7.x so
that users can get deprecation warnings when they are doing something
that will become unsupported in the future.

Today this part of the documentation just says that Geo queries are not 100%
accurate, but in fact we can be more precise about which kinds of queries see
which kinds of error. This commit clarifies this point.
At time of writing, GeoJSON did not enforce a specific ordering of vertices in
a polygon, but it now does. We occasionally get reports of Elasticsearch
rejecting apparently-valid GeoJSON because of badly oriented polygons, and it's
helpful to be able to point at this bit of the documentation when responding.
This enhancement adds Z value support (source only) to geo_shape fields. If vertices are provided with a third dimension, the third dimension is ignored for indexing but returned as part of source. Like beofre, any values greater than the 3rd dimension are ignored.

This will reject mapping updates to the `_default_` mapping with 7.x indices
and still emit a deprecation warning with 6.x indices.

Currently the callouts for this section are below all the examples, making it
harder to relate them to the snippets. Instead they should be moved closer
to the examples.
This adds the ability to index term prefixes into a hidden subfield, enabling prefix queries to be run without multitermquery rewrites. The subfield reuses the analysis chain of its parent text field, appending an EdgeNGramTokenFilter. It can be configured with minimum and maximum ngram lengths. Query terms with lengths outside this min-max range fall back to using prefix queries against the parent text field.
The mapping looks like this:
"my_text_field" : {
"type" : "text",
"analyzer" : "english",
"index_prefix" : { "min_chars" : 1, "max_chars" : 10 }
}

Since #25826 we reject infinite values for float, double and half_float
datatypes. This change adds this restriction to the documentation for the
supported datatypes.
Closes#27653
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.

* Caps
* Fix awkward wording that took multiple passes to parse
* Floating point _number_
* Something more descriptive about the `scaled_float` scaling factor.
Add an index level setting `index.mapping.nested_objects.limit` to control
the number of nested json objects that can be in a single document
across all fields. Defaults to 10000.
Throw an error if the number of created nested documents exceed this
limit during the parsing of a document.
Closes#26962
This section was removed to hide this ability to new users.
This change restores the section and adds a warning regarding the expected performance.
Closes#27336
extract all clauses from a conjunction query.
When clauses from a conjunction are extracted the number of clauses is
also stored in an internal doc values field (minimum_should_match field).
This field is used by the CoveringQuery and allows the percolator to
reduce the number of false positives when selecting candidate matches and
in certain cases be absolutely sure that a conjunction candidate match
will match and then skip MemoryIndex validation. This can greatly improve
performance.
Before this change only a single clause was extracted from a conjunction
query. The percolator tried to extract the clauses that was rarest in order
(based on term length) to attempt less candidate queries to be selected
in the first place. However this still method there is still a very high
chance that candidate query matches are false positives.
This change also removes the influencing query extraction added via #26081
as this is no longer needed because now all conjunction clauses are extracted.

Numeric fields no longer support the index_options parameter. This changes the parameter
to be rejected in numeric field types after it was deprecated in 6.0.
