The cat nodes API performs a `ClusterStateAction` then a `NodesInfoAction`.
Today it accepts the `?local` parameter and passes this to the
`ClusterStateAction` but this parameter has no effect on the `NodesInfoAction`.
This is surprising, because `GET _cat/nodes?local` looks like it might be a
completely local call but in fact it still depends on every node in the
cluster.
This commit deprecates the `?local` parameter on this API so that it can be
removed in 8.0.
Relates #50088
For 7.x and earlier branches, `_cat/repositories` API requests require a
repository name.
This removes an erroneous request example without a repository name
added with a8e0275.
Removes a reference to shadow replicas from the cat shards API docs
and a comment in cluster/routing/UnassignedInfo.java.
Shadow replicas were removed with #23906.
* [DOCS] Added the voting node.role value
With the elasticsearch.yml option "node.voting_only: true", if you perform a "_cat/nodes" there is a new option for `v` that will display if the node is a voting node.
* [DOCS] Added the voting node.role value
Updated "voting node" to read "voting-only node"
* Add is_write_index column to cat.aliases (#44772)
Aliases have had the option to set `is_write_index` since 6.4,
but the cat.aliases action was never updated.
* correct version bounds to 7.4
Sometimes the recovery in this docs test takes long enough that it is expressed
in `s` rather than `ms`. This commit relaxes the assertion to account for this.
Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.
Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.
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.
