`_search_shards`API today only returns aliases names if there is an alias
filter associated with one of them. Now it can be useful to see which aliases
have been expanded for an index given the index expressions. This change also includes non-filtering aliases even without a filtering alias being present.
Rewrites most of the snippets in the `innert_hits` docs to be
complete examples and enables `VIEW IN CONSOLE`, `COPY AS CURL`,
and automatic testing of the snippets.
Now that we have incremental reduce functions for topN and aggregations
we can set the default for `action.search.shard_count.limit` to unlimited.
This still allows users to restrict these settings while by default we executed
across all shards matching the search requests index pattern.
_field_stats has evolved quite a lot to become a multi purpose API capable of retrieving the field capabilities and the min/max value for a field.
In the mean time a more focused API called `_field_caps` has been added, this enpoint is a good replacement for _field_stats since he can
retrieve the field capabilities by just looking at the field mapping (no lookup in the index structures).
Also the recent improvement made to range queries makes the _field_stats API obsolete since this queries are now rewritten per shard based on the min/max found for the field.
This means that a range query that does not match any document in a shard can return quickly and can be cached efficiently.
For these reasons this change deprecates _field_stats. The deprecation should happen in 5.4 but we won't remove this API in 6.x yet which is why
this PR is made directly to 6.0.
The rest tests have also been adapted to not throw an error while this change is backported to 5.4.
They needed to be updated now that Painless is the default and
the non-sandboxed scripting languages are going away or gone.
I dropped the entire section about customizing the classloader
whitelists. In master this barely does anything (exposes more
things to expressions).
This change introduces a new API called `_field_caps` that allows to retrieve the capabilities of specific fields.
Example:
````
GET t,s,v,w/_field_caps?fields=field1,field2
````
... returns:
````
{
"fields": {
"field1": {
"string": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": true
}
},
"field2": {
"keyword": {
"searchable": false,
"aggregatable": true,
"non_searchable_indices": ["t"]
"indices": ["t", "s"]
},
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": false,
"non_aggregatable_indices": ["v"]
"indices": ["v", "w"]
}
}
}
}
````
In this example `field1` have the same type `text` across the requested indices `t`, `s`, `v`, `w`.
Conversely `field2` is defined with two conflicting types `keyword` and `long`.
Note that `_field_caps` does not treat this case as an error but rather return the list of unique types seen for this field.
This commit clarifies the preference docs regarding the explanation of
how operations are routed by default. In particular, the previous use of
"shard replicas" was confusing as it could imply an operation would only
be routed to replicas by default.

This is especially useful when we rewrite the query because the result of the rewrite can be very different on different shards. See #18254 for example.
* Add support for fragment_length in the unified highlighter
This commit introduce a new break iterator (a BoundedBreakIterator) designed for the unified highlighter
that is able to limit the size of fragments produced by generic break iterator like `sentence`.
The `unified` highlighter now supports `boundary_scanner` which can `words` or `sentence`.
The `sentence` mode will use the bounded break iterator in order to limit the size of the sentence to `fragment_length`.
When sentences bigger than `fragment_length` are produced, this mode will break the sentence at the next word boundary **after**
`fragment_length` is reached.
This commit adds a boundary_scanner property to the search highlight
request so the user can specify different boundary scanners:
* `chars` (default, current behavior)
* `word` Use a WordBreakIterator
* `sentence` Use a SentenceBreakIterator
This commit also adds "boundary_scanner_locale" to define which locale
should be used when scanning the text.
When nested objects are present in the mappings, many queries get deoptimized
due to the need to exclude documents that are not in the right space. For
instance, a filter is applied to all queries that prevents them from matching
non-root documents (`+*:* -_type:__*`). Moreover, a filter is applied to all
child queries of `nested` queries in order to make sure that the child query
only matches child documents (`_type:__nested_path`), which is required by
`ToParentBlockJoinQuery` (the Lucene query behing Elasticsearch's `nested`
queries).
These additional filters slow down `nested` queries. In 1.7-, the cost was
somehow amortized by the fact that we cached filters very aggressively. However,
this has proven to be a significant source of slow downs since 2.0 for users
of `nested` mappings and queries, see #20797.
This change makes the filtering a bit smarter. For instance if the query is a
`match_all` query, then we need to exclude nested docs. However, if the query
is `foo: bar` then it may only match root documents since `foo` is a top-level
field, so no additional filtering is required.
Another improvement is to use a `FILTER` clause on all types rather than a
`MUST_NOT` clause on all nested paths when possible since `FILTER` clauses
are more efficient.
Here are some examples of queries and how they get rewritten:
```
"match_all": {}
```
This query gets rewritten to `ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*)` on master and
`ConstantScore(_type:AutomatonQuery {\norg.apache.lucene.util.automaton.Automaton@4371da44})`
with this change. The automaton is the complement of `_type:__*` so it matches
the same documents, but is faster since it is now a positive clause. Simplistic
performance testing on a 10M index where each root document has 5 nested
documents on average gave a latency of 420ms on master and 90ms with this change
applied.
```
"term": {
"foo": {
"value": "0"
}
}
```
This query is rewritten to `+foo:0 #(ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*))^0.0` on
master and `foo:0` with this change: we do not need to filter nested docs out
since the query cannot match nested docs. While doing performance testing in
the same conditions as above, response times went from 250ms to 50ms.
```
"nested": {
"path": "nested",
"query": {
"term": {
"nested.foo": {
"value": "0"
}
}
}
}
```
This query is rewritten to
`+ToParentBlockJoinQuery (+nested.foo:0 #_type:__nested) #(ConstantScore(+*:* -_type:__*))^0.0`
on master and `ToParentBlockJoinQuery (nested.foo:0)` with this change. The
top-level filter (`-_type:__*`) could be removed since `nested` queries only
match documents of the parent space, as well as the child filter
(`#_type:__nested`) since the child query may only match nested docs since the
`nested` object has both `include_in_parent` and `include_in_root` set to
`false`. While doing performance testing in the same conditions as above,
response times went from 850ms to 270ms.
This pull request reuses the typed_keys parameter added in #22965, but this time it applies it to suggesters. When set to true, the suggester names in the search response will be prefixed with a prefix that reflects their type.
This changes removes the SearchResponseListener that was used by the ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener to expand collapsed hits.
The removal of SearchResponseListener is not a breaking change because it was never released.
This change also replace the blocking call in ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener by a single asynchronous multi search request. The parallelism of the expand request can be set via CollapseBuilder#max_concurrent_group_searches
Closes#23048
This commit removes support for the `application/x-ldjson` Content-Type header as this was only used in the first draft
of the spec and had very little uptake. Additionally, the docs for bulk and msearch have been updated to specifically
call out ndjson and mention that the newline character may be preceded by a carriage return.
Finally, the bulk request handling of the carriage return has been improved to remove this character from the source.
Closes#23025
These need to be CONSOLEified *now* because we're starting to

GeoDistance query, sort, and scripts make use of a crazy GeoDistance enum for handling 4 different ways of computing geo distance: SLOPPY_ARC, ARC, FACTOR, and PLANE. Only two of these are necessary: ARC, PLANE. This commit removes SLOPPY_ARC, and FACTOR and cleans up the way Geo distance is computed.
* Integrate UnifiedHighlighter
This change integrates the Lucene highlighter called "unified" in the list of supported highlighters for ES.
This highlighter can extract offsets from either postings, term vectors, or via re-analyzing text.
The best strategy is picked automatically at query time and depends on the field and the query to highlight.
* Add top hits collapsing to search request
The field collapsing is done with a custom top docs collector that "collapse" search hits with same field value.
The distributed aspect is resolve using the two passes that the regular search uses. The first pass "collapse" the top hits, then the coordinating node merge/collapse the top hits from each shard.
```
GET _search
{
"collapse": {
"field": "category",
}
}
```
This change also adds an ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener that intercepts the search response and expands collapsed hits using the CollapseBuilder#innerHit} options.
The retrieval of each inner_hits is done by sending a query to all shards filtered by the collapse key.
```
GET _search
{
"collapse": {
"field": "category",
"inner_hits": {
"size": 2
}
}
}
```
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").
This change disables the _all meta field by default.
Now that we have the "all-fields" method of query execution, we can save both
indexing time and disk space by disabling it.
_all can no longer be configured for indices created after 6.0.

Problem: So far all rank eval requests are being executed in parallel. If there
are more than the search thread pool can handle, or if there are other search
requests executed in parallel rank eval can fail.
Solution: Make number of max_concurrent_searches configurable.
Name of configuration parameter is analogous to msearch. Default
max_concurrent_searches set to 10: Rank_eval isn't particularly time critical so
trying to avoid being more clever than probably needed here. Can set this value
through the API to a higher value anytime.
Fixes#21403
Problem: We introduced the ability to shorten the rank eval request by using a
template in #20231. When playing with the API it turned out that there might be
use cases where - e.g. due to various heuristics - folks might want to translate
the original user query into more than just one type of Elasticsearch query.
Solution: Give each template an id that can later be referenced in the
actual requests.

* Replace _suggest endpoint to _search in docs

will be removed in 6.0

This change allows specifying alias/wildcard expression in indices_boost.

* Include unindexed field in FieldStats response
This change adds non-searchable fields to the FieldStats response. These fields do not have min/max informations but they can be aggregatable. Fields that are only stored in _source (store:no, index:no, doc_values:no) will still be missing since they do not have any useful information to show. Indices and clients must be at least on V_5_2_0 to see this change.

Add indices and filter information to search shards api output
The search shards api returns info about which shards are going to be hit by executing a search with provided parameters: indices, routing, preference. Indices can also be aliases, which can also hold filters. The output includes an array of shards and a summary of all the nodes the shards are allocated on. This commit adds a new indices section to the search shards output that includes one entry per index, where each index can be associated with an optional filter in case the index was hit through a filtered alias.
This is relevant since we have moved parsing of alias filters to the coordinating node.

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.
As part of #20925 and #21341 we added an "all-fields" mode to the
`query_string` and `simple_query_string`. This would expand the query to
all fields and automatically set `lenient` to true.
However, we should still allow a user to override the `lenient` flag to
whichever value they desire, should they add it in the request. This
commit does that.
The first changed referred to an example of the 2.4 documentation. I removed the no longer relevant parts. We should consider adding a little more here.
The second change was just then->than in the suggest_mode popular section

We plan to deprecate `_suggest` during 5.0 so it isn't worth fixing

`completion-suggest.asciidoc` this also removes it from the list of
files that have non-`// CONSOLE` docs.

Lucene 6.2 introduces the new `Analyzer.normalize` API, which allows to apply
only character-level normalization such as lowercasing or accent folding, which
is exactly what is needed to process queries that operate on partial terms such
as `prefix`, `wildcard` or `fuzzy` queries. As a consequence, the
`lowercase_expanded_terms` option is not necessary anymore. Furthermore, the
`locale` option was only needed in order to know how to perform the lowercasing,
so this one can be removed as well.
Closes#9978
This change adds a TypesQuery that checks if the disjunction of types should be rewritten to a MatchAllDocs query. The check is done only if the number of terms is below a threshold (16 by default and configurable via max_boolean_clause).
The shards preference on a search request enables specifying a list of
shards to hit, and then a secondary preference (e.g., "_primary") can be
added. Today, the separator between the shards list and the secondary
preference is ';'. Unfortunately, this is also a valid separtor for URL
query parameters. This means that a preference like "_shards:0;_primary"
will be parsed into two URL parameters: "_shards:0" and "_primary". With
the recent change to strict URL parsing, the second parameter will be
rejected, "_primary" is not a valid URL parameter on a search
request. This means that this feature has never worked (unless the ';'
is escaped, but no one does that because our docs do not that, and there
was no indication from Elasticsearch that this did not work). This
commit changes the separator to '|'.

Previously, this doc was using a field called "content". This is
confusing, especially when the doc starts talking about the content of
the content field. This change makes the field name "comment" which
is less ambiguous and also changes some related field names in the doc
to make a consistent example theme of editing docs around blog posts.
This causes the snippets to be tested during the build and gives
helpful links to the reader to open the docs in console or copy them
as curl commands.

Surprise! You can use sliced scroll to easily parallelize reindex
and friend. They support it because they use the same infrastructure
as a regular search to parse the search request. While we would like
to make an "automatic" option for parallelizing reindex, this manual
option works right now and is pretty convenient!
We can now run templates using `explain` and/or `profile` parameters.
Which is interesting when you have defined a complicated profile but want to debug it in an easier way than running the full query again.
You can use `explain` parameter when running a template:
```js
GET /_search/template
{
"file": "my_template",
"params": {
"status": [ "pending", "published" ]
},
"explain": true
}
```
You can use `profile` parameter when running a template:
```js
GET /_search/template
{
"file": "my_template",
"params": {
"status": [ "pending", "published" ]
},
"profile": true
}
```
`profile.asciidoc` now runs all of its command but it doesn't validate
all of the results. Writing the validation is time consuming so I only
did some of it.
* Update rescoring docs in respect to sort
If sort is present in a query the rescore query is not executed. As long as this feature is neither implemented (see discussion in #6788) nor the combination of sort and rescoring raises an error, we should warn the user in the documentation about this.
* Missed a dot
With the cut over to LatLonPoint the geohash, geohash_precision, lat_lon, and geohash_prefix parameters have been removed. This commit fixes the doc build by removing the remaining dangling references to these removed parameters.
This change replaces the fields parameter with stored_fields when it makes sense.
This is dictated by the renaming we made in #18943 for the search API.
The following list of endpoint has been changed to use `stored_fields` instead of `fields`:
* get
* mget
* explain
The documentation and the rest API spec has been updated to cope with the changes for the following APIs:
* delete_by_query
* get
* mget
* explain
The `fields` parameter has been deprecated for the following APIs (it is replaced by _source filtering):
* update: the fields are extracted from the _source directly.
* bulk: the fields parameter is used but fields are extracted from the source directly so it is allowed to have non-stored fields.
Some APIs still have the `fields` parameter for various reasons:
* cat.fielddata: the fields paramaters relates to the fielddata fields that should be printed.
* indices.clear_cache: used to indicate which fielddata fields should be cleared.
* indices.get_field_mapping: used to filter fields in the mapping.
* indices.stats: get stats on fields (stored or not stored).
* termvectors: fields are retrieved from the stored fields if possible and extracted from the _source otherwise.
* mtermvectors:
* nodes.stats: the fields parameter is used to concatenate completion_fields and fielddata_fields so it's not related to stored_fields at all.

This also makes language required for snippets which is nice because
then we can be sure we can grep for snippets in a particular language.
This change adds a special field named _none_ that allows to disable the retrieval of the stored fields in a search request or in a TopHitsAggregation.
To completely disable stored fields retrieval (including disabling metadata fields retrieval such as _id or _type) use _none_ like this:
````
POST _search
{
"stored_fields": "_none_"
}
````
Currently both `PUT` and `POST` can be used to create indices. This commit
removes support for `POST index_name` so that we can use it to index documents
with auto-generated ids once types are removed.
Relates #15613
The payload option was introduced with the new completion
suggester implementation in v5, as a stop gap solution
to return additional metadata with suggestions.
Now we can return associated documents with suggestions
(#19536) through fetch phase using stored field (_source).
The additional fetch phase ensures that we only fetch
the _source for the global top-N suggestions instead of
fetching _source of top results for each shard.
This commit enables completion suggester to return documents
associated with suggestions. Now the document source is returned
with every suggestion, which respects source filtering options.
In case of suggest queries spanning more than one shard, the
suggest is executed in two phases, where the last phase fetches
the relevant documents from shards, implying executing suggest
requests against a single shard is more performant due to the
document fetch overhead when the suggest spans multiple shards.
Adds `warnings` syntax to the yaml test that allows you to expect
a `Warning` header that looks like:
```
- do:
warnings:
- '[index] is deprecated'
- quotes are not required because yaml
- but this argument is always a list, never a single string
- no matter how many warnings you expect
get:
index: test
type: test
id: 1
```
These are accessible from the docs with:
```
// TEST[warning:some warning]
```
This should help to force you to update the docs if you deprecate
something. You *must* add the warnings marker to the docs or the build
will fail. While you are there you *should* update the docs to add
deprecation warnings visible in the rendered results.
Invocation counts can be used to help judge the selectivity of individual query components in the context of the entire query. E.g. a query may not look selective when run by itself (matches most of the index), but when run in context of a full search request, is evaluated only rarely due to execution order
Since this is modifying the base timing class, it'll enrich both query and agg profiles (as well as future profile results)

This commit moves template support out of the Search API to its own dedicated Search Template API in the lang-mustache module. It provides a new SearchTemplateAction that can be used to render templates before it gets delegated to the usual Search API. The current REST endpoint are identical, but the Render Search Template endpoint now uses the same Search Template API with a new "simulate" option. When this option is enabled, the Search Template API only renders template and returns immediatly, without executing the search.

By default the number of searches msearch executes is capped by the number of
nodes multiplied with the default size of the search threadpool. This default can be
overwritten by using the newly added `max_concurrent_searches` parameter.
Before the msearch api would concurrently execute all searches concurrently. If many large
msearch requests would be executed this could lead to some searches being rejected
while other searches in the msearch request would succeed.
The goal of this change is to avoid this exhausting of the search TP.
