This interface used to have dedicated methods to prevent calling execute
methods. These methods are unnecessary as the checks can simply be
done inside the execute methods itself. This simplifies the interface
as well as its usage.
This adds a get task API that supports GET /_tasks/${taskId} and
removes that responsibility from the list tasks API. The get task
API supports wait_for_complation just as the list tasks API does
but doesn't support any of the list task API's filters. In exchange,
it supports falling back to the .results index when the task isn't
running any more. Like any good GET API it 404s when it doesn't
find the task.
Then we change reindex, update-by-query, and delete-by-query to
persist the task result when wait_for_completion=false. The leads
to the neat behavior that, once you start a reindex with
wait_for_completion=false, you can fetch the result of the task by
using the get task API and see the result when it has finished.
Also rename the .results index to .tasks.
Adds `/regex/` as a regex constructor. A couple of fun points:
1. This makes generic the idea of arbitrary stuff adding a constant.
Both SFunction and LRegex create a statically initialized constant.
Both go through Locals to do this because they LRegex isn't directly
iterable from SScript.
2. Differentiating `/` as-in-division from `/` as-in-start-of-regex
is hard. See:
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/js/language/js20-2002-04/rationale/syntax.html#regular-expressions
The javascript folks have a way, way tougher time of it then we do
because they have semicolon insertion. We have the much simpler
delimiter rules. Even with our simpler life we still have to add
a hack to get lexing `/regex/` to work properly. I chose to add
token-level lookbehind because it seems to be a pretty contained hack.
I considered and rejected lexer modes, a lexer member variable,
having the parser set variables on the lexer (this is a fairly common
solution for js, I believe), and moving regex parsing to the parser
level.
3. I've only added a very small subset of java.util.regex to the
whitelist because it is the subset I needed to test LRegex sanely.
More deserves to be added, and maybe more regex syntax like `=~` and
`==~`. Those can probably be added without too much pain.
