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".
This commit adds fields bytes_recovered and files_recovered to the cat
recovery API. These fields, respectively, indicate the total number of
bytes and files recovered. Additionally, for consistency, some totals
fields and translog recovery fields have been renamed.
Closes#17064
Enables the touching of all memory pages used by the JVM heap spaces
during initialization of the HotSpot VM, which commits all memory pages
at initialization time. By default, pages are committed only as they are
needed.
The ingest stats include the following statistics:
* `ingest.total.count`- The total number of document ingested during the lifetime of this node
* `ingest.total.time_in_millis` - The total time spent on ingest preprocessing documents during the lifetime of this node
* `ingest.total.current` - The total number of documents currently being ingested.
* `ingest.total.failed` - The total number ingest preprocessing operations failed during the lifetime of this node
Also these stats are returned on a per pipeline basis.
This commit updates the documentation for GeoPointField by removing all references to the coerce and doc_values parameters. DocValues are enabled in lucene GeoPointField by default (required for boundary filtering). The QueryBuilders are updated to automatically normalize points (ignoring the coerce parameter) for any index created onOrAfter version 2.2.
Internally the put pipeline API uses this information in node info API to validate if all specified processors in a pipeline exist on all nodes in the cluster.
The cluster stats api now returns counts for each node role. The `master_data`, `master_only`, `data_only` and `client` fields have been removed from the response in favour of `master`, `data`, `ingest` and `coordinating_only`. The same node can have multiple roles, hence contribute to multiple roles counts. Every node is implicitly a coordinating node, so whenever a node has no explicit roles, it will be counted as coordinating only.
_cat/nodes used to return `c` for client node or `d` for data node as part of the node.role column. This commit changes it to return `m` for master eligible, `d` for data and/or `i` for ingest. A node with no explicit roles will be a coordinating only node and marked with `-`. A node can obviously have multiple roles. The master column has been adapted to return only whether a node is the current master (`*`) or not (`-`).
The field name is a required argument for all suggesters, but
it was specified via a field() setter in SuggestionBuilder so far.
This changes field name to being a mandatory constructor argument
and lets suggestion builders throw an error if field name is missing
or the empty string.
Use 'includeSegmentFileSizes' as the flag name to report disk usage.
Added test that verifies reported segment disk usage is growing accordingly after adding a document.
Documentation: Reference the new parameter as part of indices stats.
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.

ba5be0332d removed support for degrading
to slf4j and j.u.l but didn't document this as a breaking change because
it is only breaking for folks using Elasticsearch's jar as a java client.
People do that so this counts as a breaking change.
Also, if anyone was brave enough to try and replace log4j on an installed
version of Elasticsearch that will no longer work and this documents that
as well. It doens't get a full heading and instead lives with the java
client notes. Mostly because I can't imagine it worked consistently enough
for anyone to actually do it in the first place. We just never tested it
well enough to make sure we didn't break it after it was implemented.
This commit adds a note to the migration docs regarding the reduction of
the Groovy dependencies from the groovy-all artifact to the groovy
artifact that was previously done in
180ab2493e.

This commit removes the system property "es.useLinkedTransferQueue" that
defaulted to false and was used to control the queue implementation used
in a few places.
Closes#16786
Java NIO has the notion of gathering writes. These are writes that
gather data from multiple buffers into a single channel. These gathering
writes in Netty have been enabled by default with the possibility to
disable them using "es.netty.gathering". This flag was added in case
having gathering writes on by default did not work out. We have not
published this ability and sufficient time has passed to render
judgement that using gathering writes is okay.
Closes#16774
Elasticsearch should reject ids that are this long, to ensure a document
always remains retrievable for clients that impose a maximum URI length
Closes#16034
This commit removes the es.max-open-files flag as the same information
can be obtained from the cluster nodes info API, and is warn logged on
startup if it's set too low anyway.
Closes#16757
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 commit moves IndicesRequestCache into o.e.indics and makes all API in this
class package private. All references to SearchReqeust, SearchContext etc. have been factored
out and relevant glue code has been added to IndicesService. The IndicesRequestCache is not a
simple class without any hard dependencies on ThreadPool nor SearchService or IndexShard. This now
allows to add unittests.
This commit also removes two settings `indices.requests.cache.clean_interval` and `indices.fielddata.cache.clean_interval`
in favor of `indices.cache.clean_interval` which cleans both caches.
The cat API previously used the Content-Type header field for
determining the media type of the response. This is in opposition to the
HTTP spec which specifies the Accept header field for this purpose. This
commit replaces the use of the Content-Type header field with the Accept
header field in the cat API.
