The field stats api returns field level statistics such as lowest, highest values and number of documents that have at least one value for a field.
An api like this can be useful to explore a data set you don't know much about. For example you can figure at with the lowest and highest response times are, so that you can create a histogram or range aggregation with sane settings.
This api doesn't run a search to figure this statistics out, but rather use the Lucene index look these statics up (using Terms class in Lucene). So finding out these stats for fields is cheap and quick.
The min/max values are based on the type of the field. So for a numeric field min/max are numbers and date field the min/max date and other fields the min/max are term based.
Closes#10523
This commit adds a `rewrite` parameter to the validate API in order to shown
how the given query is re-written into primitive queries. For example, an MLT
query is re-written into a disjunction of the selected terms. Other use cases
include `fuzzy`, `common_terms`, or `match` query especially with a
`cutoff_frequency` parameter. Note that the explanation is only given for a
single randomly chosen shard only, so the output may vary from one shard to
another.

Today we check every regular expression eagerly against every possible term.
This can be very slow if you have lots of unique terms, and even the bottleneck
if your query is selective.
This commit switches to Lucene regular expressions instead of Java (not exactly
the same syntax yet most existing regular expressions should keep working) and
uses the same logic as RegExpQuery to intersect the regular expression with the
terms dictionary. I wrote a quick benchmark (in the PR) to make sure it made
things faster and the same request that took 750ms on master now takes 74ms with
this change.

This commit brings the benefits of the `count` search type to search requests
that have a `size` of 0:
- a single round-trip to shards (no fetch phase)
- ability to use the query cache
Since `count` now provides no benefits over `query_then_fetch`, it has been
deprecated.

Allow to on/off scripting based on their source (where they get loaded from), the operation that executes them and their language.
The settings cover the following combinations:
- mode: on, off, sandbox
- source: indexed, dynamic, file
- engine: groovy, expressions, mustache, etc
- operation: update, search, aggs, mapping
The following settings are supported for every engine:
script.engine.groovy.indexed.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.mapping: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.mapping: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.mapping: sandbox/on/off
For ease of use, the following more generic settings are supported too:
script.indexed: sandbox/on/off
script.dynamic: sandbox/on/off
script.file: sandbox/on/off
script.update: sandbox/on/off
script.search: sandbox/on/off
script.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.mapping: sandbox/on/off
These will be used to calculate the more specific settings, using the stricter setting of each combination. Operation based settings have precedence over conflicting source based ones.
Note that the `mustache` engine is affected by generic settings applied to any language, while native scripts aren't as they are static by definition.
Also, the previous `script.disable_dynamic` setting can now be deprecated.

The behaviour is better in the case someone has multiple levels of nested object fields defined in the mapping and like to define a single inner_hits definition that is two or more levels deep.
If someone wants inner hits on a nested field that is 2 levels deep the following would need to be defined:
```
{
...
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level1" : {
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level2" : {
"query" : { .... }
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
With this change the above can be defined as:
```
{
...
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level1.level2" : {
"query" : { .... }
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#9251
The analysis chain should be used instead of relying on this, as it is
confusing when dealing with different per-field analysers.
The `locale` option was only used for `lowercase_expanded_terms`, which,
once removed, is no longer needed, so it was removed as well.

This commit adds scripting capability to significant_terms.
Custom heuristics can be implemented with a script that provides
parameters subset_freq, superset_freq,subset_size, superset_size.

Changed search_type docs to reflect that the `(dfs_)query_and_fetch` modes are an internal optimization and should not be specified explicitly by the user.
Relates to #9606
Removed the existing `pre_zone` and `post_zone` option in `date_histogram` in favor of
the simpler `time_zone` option. Previously, specifying different values for these could
lead to confusing scenarios where ES would return bucket keys that are not UTC.
Now `time_zone` is the only option setting, the calculation of date buckets to take place in the
preferred time zone, but after rounding converting the bucket key values back to UTC.
Closes#9062Closes#9637
Add offset option to 'date_histogram' replacing and simplifying the previous 'pre_offset' and 'post_offset' options.
This change is part of a larger clean up task for `date_histogram` from issue #9062.
We now have a very useful annotation to mark features or parameters as
experimental. Let's use it! This commit replaces some custom text warnings with
this annotation and adds this annotation to some existing features/parameters:
- inner_hits (unreleased yet)
- terminate_after (released in 1.4)
- per-bucket doc count errors in the terms agg (released in 1.4)
I also tagged with this annotation settings which should either be not needed
(like the ability to evict entries from the filter cache based on time) or that
are too deep into the way that Elasticsearch works like the Directory
implementation or merge settings.
Close#9563
These aggregations are not experimental anymore but some of their parameters
still are:
- `precision_threshold` and `rehash` on `cardinality`
- `compression` on percentiles(-ranks)
Close#9560
Histogram aggregation supports an 'offset' option to move bucket boundaries.
In a histogram with buckets of size X these can be moved from 0, X, 2X, 3X,...
by an offset value of Y to Y, X+Y, 2X+Y, 3X+Y... by using the 'offset' option.
The previous 'pre_offset' and 'post_offset' options are removed in favour of
the simplified 'offset' option.
Closes#9417Closes#9505
The `analyzer` setting is now the base setting, and `search_analyzer`
is simply an override of the search time analyzer. When setting
`search_analyzer`, `analyzer` must be set.
closes#9371
Extended_stats now displays the upper and lower bounds on standard deviations (e.g. avg +/- std).
Default is to show 2 std above/below, but can be changed using the `sigma` parameter.
Accepts non-negative doubles
Closes#9356
Inner hits allows to embed nested inner objects, children documents or the parent document that contributed to the matching of the returned search hit as inner hits, which would otherwise be hidden.
