The basic models `b, de, p` and the after effect `no`
are not available anymore in Lucene 8 but they are still
listed in the >7x documentation. This change removes these
references that should also be listed in the breaking change

Track total hits up to 10,000 by default (#37466)
This commit changes the default for the `track_total_hits` option of the search request
to `10,000`. This means that by default search requests will accurately track the total hit count
up to `10,000` documents, requests that match more than this value will set the `"total.relation"`
to `"gte"` (e.g. greater than or equals) and the `"total.value"` to `10,000` in the search response.
Scroll queries are not impacted, they will continue to count the total hits accurately.
The default is set back to `true` (accurate hit count) if `rest_total_hits_as_int` is set in the search request.
I choose `10,000` as the default because that's also the number we use to limit pagination. This means that users will be able to know how far they can jump (up to 10,000) even if the total number of hits is not accurate.

Remove remaining occurances of "include_type_name=true" in docs (#37646) 2019-01-22 15:13:52 +01:00
Christoph Büscher 25aac4f77f
Remove `include_type_name` in asciidoc where possible (#37568)
The "include_type_name" parameter was temporarily introduced in #37285 to facilitate
moving the default parameter setting to "false" in many places in the documentation
code snippets. Most of the places can simply be reverted without causing errors.
In this change I looked for asciidoc files that contained the
"include_type_name=true" addition when creating new indices but didn't look
likey they made use of the "_doc" type for mappings. This is mostly the case
e.g. in the analysis docs where index creating often only contains settings. I
manually corrected the use of types in some places where the docs still used an
explicit type name and not the dummy "_doc" type.

Update the default for include_type_name to false. (#37285)
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put mappings.

* Default include_type_name to false for get field mappings.

* Add a constant for the default include_type_name value.

* Default include_type_name to false for get and put index templates.

* Default include_type_name to false for create index.

* Update create index calls in REST documentation to use include_type_name=true.

* Some minor clean-ups around the get index API.

* In REST tests, use include_type_name=true by default for index creation.

* Make sure to use 'expression == false'.

* Clarify the different IndexTemplateMetaData toXContent methods.

* Fix FullClusterRestartIT#testSnapshotRestore.

* Fix the ml_anomalies_default_mappings test.

* Fix GetFieldMappingsResponseTests and GetIndexTemplateResponseTests.

We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.

This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.

* Fix more REST tests.

* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.

* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.

* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.

* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.

* Make sure to use 'expression == false' in FullClusterRestartIT.

* Mention include_type_name in the REST templates docs.

Daniel Mitterdorfer 75f3443c62
Rename setting to enable mmap
With this commit we rename `node.store.allow_mmapfs` to
`node.store.allow_mmap`. Previously this setting has controlled whether
`mmapfs` could be used as a store type. With the introduction of
`hybridfs` which also relies on memory-mapping,
`node.store.allow_mmapfs` also applies to `hybridfs` and thus we rename
it in order to convey that it is actually used to allow memory-mapping
but not a specific store type.

Add hybridfs store type
With this commit we introduce a new store type `hybridfs` that is a
hybrid between `mmapfs` and `niofs`. This store type chooses different
strategies to read Lucene files based on the read access pattern (random
or linear) in order to optimize performance.

This store type has been available in earlier versions of Elasticsearch
as `default_fs`. We have chosen a different name now in order to convey
the intent of the store type instead of tying it to the fact whether it
is the default choice.

Make hits.total an object in the search response (#35849)
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

Upgrade to a Lucene 8 snapshot (#33310)
The main benefit of the upgrade for users is the search optimization for top scored documents when the total hit count is not needed. However this optimization is not activated in this change, there is another issue opened to discuss how it should be integrated smoothly.
Some comments about the change:
* Tests that can produce negative scores have been adapted but we need to forbid them completely: #33309

Enable avoiding mmap bootstrap check (#32421)
The maximum map count boostrap check can be a hindrance to users that do
not own the underlying platform on which they are executing
Elasticsearch. This is because addressing it requires tuning the kernel
and a platform provider might now allow this, especially on shared
infrastructure. However, this bootstrap check is not needed if mmapfs is
not in use. Today we do not have a way for the user to communicate that
they are not going to use mmapfs. This commit therefore adds a setting
that enables the user to disallow mmapfs. When mmapfs is disallowed, the
maximum map count bootstrap check is not enforced. Additionally, we
fallback to a different default index store and prevent the explicit use
of mmapfs for an index.

Logging: Make node name consistent in logger (#31588)
First, some background: we have 15 different methods to get a logger in
Elasticsearch but they can be broken down into three broad categories
based on what information is provided when building the logger.

Just a class like:
```
private static final Logger logger = ESLoggerFactory.getLogger(ActionModule.class);
```
or:
```
protected final Logger logger = Loggers.getLogger(getClass());
```

The class and settings:
```
this.logger = Loggers.getLogger(getClass(), settings);
```

Or more information like:
```
Loggers.getLogger("index.store.deletes", settings, shardId)
```

The goal of the "class and settings" variant is to attach the node name
to the logger. Because we don't always have the settings available, we
often use the "just a class" variant and get loggers without node names
attached. There isn't any real consistency here. Some loggers get the
node name because it is convenient and some do not.

This change makes the node name available to all loggers all the time.
Almost. There are some caveats are testing that I'll get to. But in
*production* code the node name is node available to all loggers. This
means we can stop using the "class and settings" variants to fetch
loggers which was the real goal here, but a pleasant side effect is that
the ndoe name is now consitent on every log line and optional by editing
the logging pattern. This is all powered by setting the node name
statically on a logging formatter very early in initialization.

Now to tests: tests can't set the node name statically because
subclasses of `ESIntegTestCase` run many nodes in the same jvm, even in
the same class loader. Also, lots of tests don't run with a real node so
they don't *have* a node name at all. To support multiple nodes in the
same JVM tests suss out the node name from the thread name which works
surprisingly well and easy to test in a nice way. For those threads
that are not part of an `ESIntegTestCase` node we stick whatever useful
information we can get form the thread name in the place of the node
name. This allows us to keep the logger format consistent.

Improve similarity integration. (#29187)
This improves the way similarities are plugged in in order to:
 - reject the classic similarity on 7.x indices and emit a deprecation
   warning otherwise
 - reject unkwown parameters on 7.x indices and emit a deprecation
   warning otherwise

Even though this breaks the plugin API, I'd like to backport to 7.x so
that users can get deprecation warnings when they are doing something
that will become unsupported in the future.

Allow `_doc` as a type. (#27816)
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0

Jim Ferenczi 74473c1c3d Early termination with index sorting should not set terminated_early in the response (#26597)
Early termination with index sorting always return the best top N in the response but set the flag `terminated_early`
in the response. This can be confusing because we use the same flag for `terminate_after` which on the contrary returns partial results.
This change removes the flag when results are not partial (early termination due to index sorting) and keeps it only when `terminate_after` is used.

Boaz Leskes d963882053 Enable a long translog retention policy by default (#25294)
#25147  added the translog deletion policy but didn't enable it by default. This PR enables a default retention of 512MB (same maximum size of the current translog) and an age of 12 hours (i.e., after 12 hours all translog files will be deleted). This increases to chance to have an ops based recovery, even if the primary flushed or the replica was offline for a few hours.

In order to see which parts of the translog are committed into lucene the translog stats are extended to include information about uncommitted operations.

Views now include all translog ops and guarantee, as before, that those will not go away. Snapshotting a view allows to filter out generations that are not relevant based on a specific sequence number.

Jim Ferenczi 36a5cf8f35 Automatically early terminate search query based on index sorting (#24864)
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.

Adrien Grand 4632661bc7 Upgrade to a Lucene 7 snapshot (#24089)
We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.

Some notes about the change:
 - it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
 - it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
 - two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
