We had a hack in setting up permissions for tests to support testing
the lang-python plugin. We also had a hack to prevent Log4j from
loading a shaded version of Jansi provided by Jython. This plugin has
been removed so these hacks are no longer necessary.

When installing plugin permissions, we try to set the permissions on all
installed files ourselves because a umask from the user could violate
everything needed to get the permissions right. Sadly, directories were
not handled correctly at all and so we were still left with broken
installations with umasks like 0077. This commit fixes this issue, adds
a thorough unit test for the situation, and most importantly, adds a
test that sets the umask before installing the plugin.

This adds `-XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow` to the JVM arguments
which *should* prevent the JVM from omitting stack traces on
common exception sites. Even though these sites are common, we'd
still like the exceptions to debug them.
This also adds the flag when running tests and adapts some tests
that had workarounds for the absense of the flag.
Closes#24376
This commit fixes an issue when deleting the plugin directory while
executing the remove plugin command. Namely, we take out a file
descriptor on the plugin directory to traverse its contents to obtain
the list of files to delete. We leaked this file descriptor. On
Unix-based filesystems, this is not a problem, deleting the plugin
directory deletes the plugin directory. On Windows though, a delete is
not executed until the last file descriptor is closed. Since we leaked
this file descriptor, the plugin was not actually deleted. This led to
test failures that tried to cleanup left behind temporary directories
but these test failures were just exposing this bug. This commit fixes
this issue by ensuring that we close the file descriptor to the plugin
directory when we are finished with it.

Today when removing a plugin, we attempt to move the plugin directory to
a temporary directory and then delete that directory from the
filesystem. We do this to avoid a plugin being in a half-removed
state. We previously tried an atomic move, and fell back to a non-atomic
move if that failed. Atomic moves can fail on union filesystems when the
plugin directory is not in the top layer of the
filesystem. Interestingly, the regular move can fail as well. This is
because when the JDK is executing such a move, it first tries to rename
the source directory to the target directory and if this fails with
EXDEV (as in the case of an atomic move failing), it falls back to
copying the source to the target, and then attempts to rmdir the
source. The bug here is that the JDK never deleted the contents of the
source so the rmdir will always fail (except in the case of an empty
directory).
Given all this silliness, we were inspired to find a different
strategy. The strategy is simple. We will add a marker file to the
plugin directory that indicates the plugin is in a state of
removal. This file will be the last file out the door during removal. If
this file exists during startup, we fail startup.

The plugin cli currently resides inside the elasticsearch jar. This
commit moves it into a plugin-cli jar. This is change alone is a no-op;
it does not change anything about what is loaded at runtime. But it will
allow easier testing (with fixtures in the future to test ES or maven
installation), as well as eventually not loading these classes when
starting elasticsearch.
This change simplifies how the rest test runner finds test files and
removes all leniency. Previously multiple prefixes and suffixes would
be tried, and tests could exist inside or outside of the classpath,
although outside of the classpath never quite worked. Now only classpath
tests are supported, and only one resource prefix is supported,
`/rest-api-spec/tests`.

After splitting integ tests into cluster configuration and the test
runner task, we still have dependencies of the test runner added as deps
of the cluster. This commit adds dependencies directly to the cluster,
so that the runner can have other dependencies independent of what is
needed for the cluster.
The bwc checkout for backcompat tests currently always tries to fetch
the latest from the upstream remote. This change makes fetching from
upstream conditional on not running an offline build.
Adds the option for a plugin to specify extra directories containing notices
and licenses files to be incorporated into the overall notices file that is
generated for the plugin.
This can be useful, for example, where the plugin has a non-Java dependency
that itself incorporates many 3rd party components.
Windows rest tests consistenly fail because the filesystem appears to be
an order of magnitude slower than that of *nix, at least in the context
of our rest tests. This commit overrides the suite timeout to 30 mins
for windows. From past failures, it appears this should be enough, as
the tests seem to fail when they are almost complete. The default suite
timeout for ESTestCase is 20 mins, so this leaves ample buffer for
windows shenanigans.
The LoggedExec task does not capture output when info logging is
enabled. This commit changes the upstream check to use Exec directly,
so as not to break when info logging is enabled.
This will use File.toString() for the `git clone` command, which will
automatically be correct for whatever system the build is running on.
closes#23784
We currently have the last minor version of the previous major hardcoded
in tests like rolling upgrade. This change programatically finds this
during gradle initialization by parsing versions from Version.java.
This commit switches from executing gradle when building the bwc testing
zip through Exec, to using GradleBuild. In addition to not depending on
gradle being in the PATH, it also has the added benefit of much better
logging while the bwc build is going on (the actual tasks show up as
tasks of a subproject within the current build).
The current rest backcompat tests, which run against a mixed cluster of
5.x and 6.0 nodes, depend on snapshot builds of 5.x. However, this has
the potential for inconsistency that results in CI failures, and happens
quite often, whenever some backcompat logic is added to 5.x, but the bwc
test on master fails because the 5.x code has not yet been published as
a snapshot.
This change creates a git clone of the 5.x branch,
builds the zip distribution, and ties that into gradle substitutions for
the 5.x version.
After the removal of the joda time hack we used to have, we can cleanup
the codebase handling in security, jarhell and plugins to be more picky
about uniqueness. This was originally in #18959 which was never merged.
closes#18959
Gradle's finalizedBy on tasks only ensures one task runs after another,
but not immediately after. This is problematic for our integration tests
since it allows multiple project's integ test clusters to be
simultaneously. While this has not been a problem thus far (gradle 2.13
happened to keep the finalizedBy tasks close enough that no clusters
were running in parallel), with gradle 3.3 the task graph generation has
changed, and numerous clusters may be running simultaneously, causing
memory pressure, and thus generally slower tests, or even failure if the
system has a limited amount of memory (eg in a vagrant host).
This commit reworks how integ tests are configured. It adds an
`integTestCluster` extension to gradle which is equivalent to the current
`integTest.cluster` and moves the rest test runner task to
`integTestRunner`. The `integTest` task is then just a dummy task,
which depends on the cluster runner task, as well as the cluster stop
task. This means running `integTest` in one project will both run the
rest tests, and shut down the cluster, before running `integTest` in
another project.
This commit enforces the requirement of Content-Type for the REST layer and removes the deprecated methods in transport
requests and their usages.
While doing this, it turns out that there are many places where *Entity classes are used from the apache http client
libraries and many of these usages did not specify the content type. The methods that do not specify a content type
explicitly have been added to forbidden apis to prevent more of these from entering our code base.

Today when users start Elasticsearch with their Java configuration
pointing to a pre-Java 8 install, they encounter a cryptic message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
org/elasticsearch/bootstrap/Elasticsearch : Unsupported major.minor
version 52.0
They often think that they have Java 8 installed but if their JAVA_HOME
or other configuration is causing them to start with a pre-Java 8
install, this error message does not help them.
We introduce a Java version checker that runs on Java 6 as part of the
startup scripts. If the Java version is pre-Java 8, we can display a
helpful error message to the user informing them of the Java version
that the runtime was started with. Otherwise, Elasticsearch starts as it
does today.
This change adds a strict mode for xcontent parsing on the rest layer. The strict mode will be off by default for 5.x and in a separate commit will be enabled by default for 6.0. The strict mode, which can be enabled by setting `http.content_type.required: true` in 5.x, will require that all incoming rest requests have a valid and supported content type header before the request is dispatched. In the non-strict mode, the Content-Type header will be inspected and if it is not present or not valid, we will continue with auto detection of content like we have done previously.
The content type header is parsed to the matching XContentType value with the only exception being for plain text requests. This value is then passed on with the content bytes so that we can reduce the number of places where we need to auto-detect the content type.
As part of this, many transport requests and builders were updated to provide methods that
accepted the XContentType along with the bytes and the methods that would rely on auto-detection have been deprecated.
In the non-strict mode, deprecation warnings are issued whenever a request with body doesn't provide the Content-Type header.

By default, the JVM GC log file grows without
limitation. This is inconvenient for a long running
process like Elasticsearch.
With this commit we add an example configuration
for a rotating GC log in `conig/jvm.options`.
For certain situations, end-users need the base path for Elasticsearch
logs. Exposing this as a property is better than hard-coding the path
into the logging configuration file as otherwise the logging
configuration file could easily diverge from the Elasticsearch
configuration file. Additionally, Elasticsearch will only have
permissions to write to the log directory configured in the
Elasticsearch configuration file. This commit adds a property that
exposes this base path.
One use-case for this is configuring a rollover strategy to retain logs
for a certain period of time. As such, we add an example of this to the
documentation.
Additionally, we expose the property es.logs.cluster_name as this is
used as the name of the log files in the default configuration.
Finally, we expose es.logs.node_name in cases where node.name is
explicitly set in case users want to include the node name as part of
the name of the log files.

Right now closing a shard looks like it strands refresh listeners,
causing tests like
`delete/50_refresh/refresh=wait_for waits until changes are visible in search`
to fail. Here is a build that fails:
https://elasticsearch-ci.elastic.co/job/elastic+elasticsearch+multi_cluster_search+multijob-darwin-compatibility/4/console
This attempts to fix the problem by implements `Closeable` on
`RefreshListeners` and rejecting listeners when closed. More importantly
the act of closing the instance flushes all pending listeners
so we shouldn't have any stranded listeners on close.
Because it was needed for testing, this also adds the number of
pending listeners to the `CommonStats` object and all API to which
that flows: `_cat/nodes`, `_cat/indices`, `_cat/shards`, and
`_nodes/stats`.
Netty plays a lot of games with recycling byte buffers in thread local
caches, and using a pooled byte buffer allocator to reduce pressure on
the garbage collector.
The recycler in particular appears to be fraught with peril. It appears
that there are circumstances where the recycler does not recycle quickly
enough and can exceed its capacity leading to heap exhaustion and out of
memory errors. If you spend a few minutes reading the history of the
recycler on the Netty GitHub issues, it appears it has been nothing but
a source of trouble, and the project itself has an open issue that
proposes disabling by default and possibly even removing the recycler.
The pooled byte buffer allocator has problems itself. It sizes the pool
based on the number of runtime processors and can indeed grab a very
large percentage of the heap (in some cases 50% or more). Additionally,
the Netty project continues to struggle with leaks here.
We are seeing users struggle with issues in 5.x that I think are largely
driven by some of the problems here with Netty.
This change proposes to disable the recycler, and to disable the pooled
byte buffer allocator. I think that disabling these features will return
some of the stablity that these features appear to be losing us.
I have done performance testing on my workstation with disabling these
and I do not see a difference in performance. I propose that we make
this change in master and let some nightly benchmarks run to confirm
that there is not a difference in performance. If we are comfortable
with the performance changes, I propose backporting this to all active
branches.

This change is the first towards providing the ability to store
sensitive settings in elasticsearch. It adds the
`elasticsearch-keystore` tool, which allows managing a java keystore.
The keystore is loaded upon node startup in Elasticsearch, and used by
the Setting infrastructure when a setting is configured as secure.
There are a lot of caveats to this PR. The most important is it only
provides the tool and setting infrastructure for secure strings. It does
not yet provide for keystore passwords, keypairs, certificates, or even
convert any existing string settings to secure string settings. Those
will all come in follow up PRs. But this PR was already too big, so this
at least gets a basic version of the infrastructure in.
The two main things to look at. The first is the `SecureSetting` class,
which extends `Setting`, but removes the assumption for the raw value of the
setting to be a string. SecureSetting provides, for now, a single
helper, `stringSetting()` to create a SecureSetting which will return a
SecureString (which is like String, but is closeable, so that the
underlying character array can be cleared). The second is the
`KeyStoreWrapper` class, which wraps the java `KeyStore` to provide a
simpler api (we do not need the entire keystore api) and also extend
the serialized format to add metadata needed for loading the keystore
with no assumptions about keystore type (so that we can change this in
the future) as well as whether the keystore has a password (so that we
can know whether prompting is necessary when we add support for keystore
passwords).
* Remove a checked exception, replacing it with `ParsingException`.
* Remove all Parser classes for the yaml sections, replacing them with static methods.
* Remove `ClientYamlTestFragmentParser`. Isn't used any more.
* Remove `ClientYamlTestSuiteParseContext`, replacing it with some static utility methods.
I did not rewrite the parsers using `ObjectParser` because I don't think it is worth it right now.
A previous fix for the handling of paths on Windows related to paths
containing multiple spaces introduced a issue where if JAVA_HOME ends
with a backslash, then Elasticsearch will refuse to start. This is not a
critical bug as a workaround exists (remove the trailing backslash), but
should be fixed nevertheless. This commit addresses this situation while
not regressing the previous fix.

This commit fixes the handling of spaces in Windows paths. The current

Elasticsearch can be run in a few different ways:
- from the command line on Linux and Windows
- as a service on Linux and Windows
on both 32-bit client and 64-bit server VMs. We strive for a great
out-of-the-box experience any of these combinations but today it is
lacking on 32-bit client JVMs and on the Windows service. There are two
deficiencies that arise:
- on any 32-bit client JVM we fail to start out of the box because we
force the server JVM in jvm.options
- when installing the Windows service, the thread stack size must be
specified in jvm.options
This commit attempts to address these deficiencies.
We should continue to force the server JVM because there are systems
where the server JVM is not active by default (e.g., the 32-bit JDK on
Windows). This does mean that if a user tries to run with a client JVM
they will see a failure message at startup but this is the best that we
can do if we want to continue to force the server JVM. Thus, this commit
at least documents this situation.
To improve the situation with installing the Windows service, this
commit adds a default setting for the thread stack size. This default is
chosen based on the default thread stack size across all 64-bit server
JVMs. This means that if a user tries to run with a 32-bit JVM they
could otherwise see significantly higher memory usage (this situation is
complicated, it's really only on Windows where the extra memory usage is
egregious, but cutting into the 32-bit address space on any system is
bad). So this commit makes it so that the out-of-the-box experience is
improved for the Windows service on 64-bit server JVMs and we document
the need to adjust this setting on 32-bit JVMs.
Again, we are focusing on the out-of-the-box experience here and this
means optimizing for the best experience on any 64-bit server JVM as
this covers the vast majority of the user base. The users that are on
32-bit JVMs will suffer a little bit but at least now any user on any
64-bit server JVM can start Elasticsearch out of the box.
Finally, we fix some references to the jvm.options documentation.
