This commit refactors the handling of thread pool settings so that the
individual settings can be registered rather than registering the top
level group. With this refactoring, individual plugins must now register
their own settings for custom thread pools that they need, but a
dedicated API is provided for this in the thread pool module. This
commit also renames the prefix on the thread pool settings from
"threadpool" to "thread_pool". This enables a hard break on the settings
so that:
- some of the settings can be given more sensible names (e.g., the max
number of threads in a scaling thread pool is now named "max" instead
of "size")
- change the soft limit on the number of threads in the bulk and
indexing thread pools to a hard limit
- the settings names for custom plugins for thread pools can be
prefixed (e.g., "xpack.watcher.thread_pool.size")
- remove dynamic thread pool settings

This commit removes the ability to specify a custom plugins
path. Instead, the plugins path will always be a subdirectory called
"plugins" off of the home directory.
The syntax highlighter only supports [source,js].
Also adds a check to the rest test generator that runs during
the build that'll fail the build if it sees `[source,json]`.
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

This removes all the mentions of the sandbox from the script engine
services and permissions model. This means that the following settings
are no longer supported:
```yaml
script.inline: sandbox
script.stored: sandbox
```
Instead, only a `true` or `false` value can be specified.
Since this would otherwise break the default-allow parameter for
languages like expressions, painless, and mustache, all script engines
have been updated to have individual settings, for instance:
```yaml
script.engine.groovy.inline: true
```
Would enable all inline scripts for groovy. (they can still be
overridden on a per-operation basis).
Expressions, Painless, and Mustache all default to `true` for inline,
file, and stored scripts to preserve the old scripting behavior.

Remove performance hack for accessing a document's fields, its not needed.
Add support for accessing is-getter methods like List.isEmpty() as .empty
Closes#18201
This gives better coverage and consistency with the scripting APIs, by
whitelisting the primary search scripting API classes and using them instead
of only Map and List methods.
For example, accessing fields can now be done with `.value` instead of `.0`
because `getValue()` is whitelisted. For now, access to a document's fields in
this way (loads) are fast-pathed in the code, to avoid dynamic overhead.
Access to geo fields and geo distance functions is now supported.
TODO: date support (e.g. whitelist ReadableDateTime methods as a start)
TODO: improve docs (like expressions and groovy have for document's fields)

Painless: add fielddata accessors (.value/.values/.distance()/etc)
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.

* Add note about .lat/lon potentially returning null
* Added .value to expressions example
* Fixed two bad ASCIIDOC links
With this commit we compress HTTP responses provided the client
supports it (as indicated by the HTTP header 'Accept-Encoding').
We're also able to process compressed HTTP requests if needed.
The default compression level is lowered from 6 to 3 as benchmarks
have indicated that this reduces query latency with a negligible
increase in network traffic.
Closes#7309
This commit actually bounds the size of the generic thread pool. The
generic thread pool was of type cached, a thread pool with an unbounded
number of workers and an unbounded work queue. With this commit, the
generic thread pool is now of type scaling. As such, the cached thread
pool type has been removed. By default, the generic thread pool is
constructed with a core pool size of four, a max pool size of 128 and
idle workers can be reaped after a keep-alive time of thirty seconds
expires. The work queue for this thread pool remains unbounded.
With this commit we limit the size of all in-flight requests on
transport level. The size is guarded by a circuit breaker and is
based on the content size of each request.
By default we use 100% of available heap meaning that the parent
circuit breaker will limit the maximum available size. This value
can be changed by adjusting the setting
network.breaker.inflight_requests.limit

This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and
simplify management of JVM options. This separates the configuration of
the JVM from the packaging scripts (bin/elasticsearch*, bin/service.bat,
and init.d/elasticsearch) simplifying end-user operational management of
custom JVM options.
We currently have a `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_client` setting that control whether their ping responses are ignored for master election (which is the current default). With the push to treat client nodes as normal nodes (and promote the transport/rest clients for client work), this should be changed. This commit remove this setting and it's companion `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_data` setting (currently defaulting to false) in favor of singe `discovery.zen.master_election.ignore_non_master_pings` setting with more intuitive name (defaulting to false).

In #17198, we removed suggest transport action, which
used the `suggest` threadpool to execute requests. Now
`suggest` threadpool is unused and suggest requests are
executed on the `search` threadpool.
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
Currently we suggesting users create a Node (using NodeBuilder in 2.x) to have a client that is capable of keeping up-to-date information. This is generally a bad idea as it means elasticsearch has no control over eg max heap size or gc settings, and is also problematic for users because they must deal with dependency collisions (and in 2.x+ dependencies of elasticsearch itself).
A better alternative, and what we should document, is to run a local elasticsearch server using bin/elasticsearch, and then use the transport client to connect to that local node. This local connection is virtually free, and allows the client code to be completely isolated from the elasticsearch process. Plugins are then also easy to deal with: just install them in elasticsearch as usual.

2.x has show so far that running with security manager is the way to go.
This commit make this non-optional. Users that need to pass their own rules
can still do this via the system configuration for the security manager. They
can even opt out of all security that way.
This setting was missing from the docs, so I added it. However, I also
completely rewrote the nodes documentation page because it was mostly
talking about client nodes with some issues, without ever discussing
master nodes, or even tribe nodes. All nodes should be listed on a
"nodes" documentation page.
Fixes#15903Fixed#14429
Today we throttle recoveries only for incoming recoveries. Nodes that have a lot
of primaries can get overloaded due to too many recoveries. To still keep that at bay
we limit the number of threads that are sending files to the target to overcome this problem.
The right solution here is to also throttle the outgoing recoveries that are today unbounded on
the master and don't start the recovery until we have enough resources on both source and target nodes.
The concurrency aspects of the recovery source also added a lot of complexity and additional threadpools
that are hard to configure. This commit removes the concurrent streamns notion completely and sends files
in the thread that drives the recovery simplifying the recovery code considerably.
Outgoing recoveries are not throttled on the master via a allocation decider.
This makes some minor improvements (does not fix all problems!)
It reorders unicast disco in elasticsearch.yml to be right after the network host,
for better locality.
It removes the warning (unreleased) about publish addresses, lets try to really discourage setting
that unless you need to (behind a proxy server). Most people should be fine with `network.host`
Finally it reorganizes the network docs page a bit:
We add a table of 4 "basic" settings at the very beginning:
* network.host
* discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts
* http.port
* transport.tcp.port
The first two being the most important, which addresses to bind and talk to, and the other two
being the port numbers.
The rest of the stuff I tried to simplify and reorder under "advanced" headers.
This is just a quick stab, I still think we need more effort into this thing, but we gotta start somewhere.
This commit forbids the changing of thread pool types for any thread
pool. The motivation here is that these are expert settings with
little practical advantage.
Closes#14294, relates #2509, relates #2858, relates #5152
* Allow for multiple host specifications (e.g. _en0_,192.168.1.2,_site_).
* Add _site_ and _global_ scopes as counterparts to _local_.
* Warn on heuristic selection of publish address.
* Remove the arbitrary _non_loopback_ setting.
