Due to a change happened via #26102 to make the nested source consistent
with or without source filtering, the _source of a nested inner hit was
always wrapped in the parent path. This turned out to be not ideal for
users relying on the nested source, as it would require additional parsing
on the client side. This change fixes this, the _source of nested inner hits
is now no longer wrapped by parent json objects, irregardless of whether
the _source is included as is or source filtering is used.
Internally source filtering and highlighting relies on the fact that the
_source of nested inner hits are accessible by its full field path, so
in order to now break this, the conversion of the _source into its binary
form is performed in FetchSourceSubPhase, after any potential source filtering
is performed to make sure the structure of _source of the nested inner hit
is consistent irregardless if source filtering is performed.
PR for #26944Closes#26944
The shard preference _primary, _replica and its variants were useful
for the asynchronous replication. However, with the current impl, they
are no longer useful and should be removed.
Closes#26335
* Fix percolator highlight sub fetch phase to not highlight query twice
The PercolatorHighlightSubFetchPhase does not override hitExecute and since it extends HighlightPhase the search hits
are highlighted twice (by the highlight phase and then by the percolator). This does not alter the results, the second highlighting
just overrides the first one but this slow down the request because it duplicates the work.
This change exposes the duplicate removal option added in Lucene for the completion suggester
with a new option called `skip_duplicates` (defaults to false).
This commit also adapts the custom suggest collector to handle deduplication when multiple contexts match the input.
Closes#23364
Multi-level Nested Sort with Filters
Allow multiple levels of nested sorting where each level can have it's own filter.
Backward compatible with previous single-level nested sort.
* Remove the _all metadata field
This change removes the `_all` metadata field. This field is deprecated in 6
and cannot be activated for indices created in 6 so it can be safely removed in
the next major version (e.g. 7).
Today if we search across a large amount of shards we hit every shard. Yet, it's quite
common to search across an index pattern for time based indices but filtering will exclude
all results outside a certain time range ie. `now-3d`. While the search can potentially hit
hundreds of shards the majority of the shards might yield 0 results since there is not document
that is within this date range. Kibana for instance does this regularly but used `_field_stats`
to optimize the indexes they need to query. Now with the deprecation of `_field_stats` and it's upcoming removal a single dashboard in kibana can potentially turn into searches hitting hundreds or thousands of shards and that can easily cause search rejections even though the most of the requests are very likely super cheap and only need a query rewriting to early terminate with 0 results.
This change adds a pre-filter phase for searches that can, if the number of shards are higher than a the `pre_filter_shard_size` threshold (defaults to 128 shards), fan out to the shards
and check if the query can potentially match any documents at all. While false positives are possible, a negative response means that no matches are possible. These requests are not subject to rejection and can greatly reduce the number of shards a request needs to hit. The approach here is preferable to the kibana approach with field stats since it correctly handles aliases and uses the correct threadpools to execute these requests. Further it's completely transparent to the user and improves scalability of elasticsearch in general on large clusters.
This is a protection mechanism to prevent a single search request from
hitting a large number of shards in the cluster concurrently. If a search is
executed against all indices in the cluster this can easily overload the cluster
causing rejections etc. which is not necessarily desirable. Instead this PR adds
a per request limit of `max_concurrent_shard_requests` that throttles the number of
concurrent initial phase requests to `256` by default. This limit can be increased per request
and protects single search requests from overloading the cluster. Subsequent PRs can introduces
addiontional improvemetns ie. limiting this on a `_msearch` level, making defaults a factor of
the number of nodes or sort shards iters such that we gain the best concurrency across nodes.
* Add documentation for the new parent-join field
This commit adds the docs for the new parent-join field.
It explains how to define, index and query this new field.

This snapshot has faster range queries on range fields (LUCENE-7828), more
accurate norms (LUCENE-7730) and the ability to use fake term frequencies
(LUCENE-7854).
This commit adds back "id" as the key within a script to specify a
stored script (which with file scripts now gone is no longer ambiguous).
It also adds "source" as a replacement for "code". This is in an attempt
to normalize how scripts are specified across both put stored scripts and script usages, including search template requests. This also deprecates the old inline/stored keys.
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`.
This commit refactors the query phase in order to be able
to automatically detect queries that can be early terminated.
If the index sort matches the query sort, the top docs collection is early terminated
on each segment and the computing of the total number of hits that match the query is delegated to a simple TotalHitCountCollector.
This change also adds a new parameter to the search request called `track_total_hits`.
It indicates if the total number of hits that match the query should be tracked.
If false, queries sorted by the index sort will not try to compute this information and
and will limit the collection to the first N documents per segment.
Aggregations are not impacted and will continue to see every document
even when the index sort matches the query sort and `track_total_hits` is false.

Adds a "magic" key to the yaml testing stash mostly for use with
documentation tests. When unstashing an object, `$_path` is the
path into the current position in the object you are unstashing.
This means that in docs tests you can use
`// TESTRESPONSEs/somevalue/$body.${_path}/` to mean "replace
`somevalue` with whatever is the response in the same position."
Compare how you must carefully mock out all the numbers in the profile
response without this change:

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.
`_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.
