This commit changes the parsing logic of DocWriteResponse, ReplicationResponse
and GetResult so that it skips any unknown additional fields (for forward compatibility
reasons). This affects the IndexResponse, UpdateResponse,DeleteResponse and
GetResponse objects.
Removes the `assemble` task from the `build` task when we have
removed `assemble` from the project. We removed `assemble` from
projects that aren't published so our releases will be faster. But
That broke CI because CI builds with `gradle precommit build` and,
it turns out, that `build` includes `check` and `assemble`. With
this change CI will only run `check` for projects without an
`assemble`.
Removes the `assemble` task from projects that are not published.
This should speed up `gradle assemble` by skipping projects that
don't need to be built. Which is useful because `gradle assemble`
is how we cut releases.
This commit adds a NamedXContentProvider interface that can
be implemented by plugins or modules using Java's SPI feature
in order to provide additional NamedXContent parsers to external
applications like the Java High Level Rest Client.
REST handlers that require a body will throw an an ElasticsearchParseException "request body required".
REST handlers that require a body OR source param will throw an ElasticsearchParseException "request body or source param required".
Replaced asserts in BulkRequest parsing code with a more descriptive IllegalArgumentException if the line contains an empty object.
Updated bulk REST test to verify an empty action line is rejected properly.
Updated BulkRequestTests with randomized testing for an empty action line.
Used try-with-resouces for XContentParser in AbstractBulkByQueryRestHandler.
Some response classes in the java api expose both `getTook()` which returns a `TimeValue` and `getTookInMillis` which returns a `long` value. `getTook()` is enough as one can do `getTook().millis()` to obtain the same result as `getTookInMillis()`, which can be removed.
* Adds nodes usage API to monitor usages of actions
The nodes usage API has 2 main endpoints
/_nodes/usage and /_nodes/{nodeIds}/usage return the usage statistics
for all nodes and the specified node(s) respectively.
At the moment only one type of usage statistics is available, the REST
actions usage. This records the number of times each REST action class is
called and when the nodes usage api is called will return a map of rest
action class name to long representing the number of times each of the action
classes has been called.
Still to do:
* [x] Create usage service to store usage statistics
* [x] Record usage in REST layer
* [x] Add Transport Actions
* [x] Add REST Actions
* [x] Tests
* [x] Documentation
* Rafactors UsageService so counts are done by the handlers
* Fixing up docs tests
* Adds a name to all rest actions
* Addresses review comments
Currently a `delete document` request against a non-existing index actually **creates** this index.
With this change the `delete document` no longer creates the previously non-existing index and throws an `index_not_found` exception instead.
However as discussed in https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/15451#issuecomment-165772026, if an external version is explicitly used, the current behavior is preserved and the index is still created and the document is marked for deletion.
Fixes#15425
This PR revolves around places in the code where introducing a StringBuilder might make the construction
of a String easier to follow and also, maybe avoid a case where the compiler's very safe way of introducing
StringBuilder instead of String might not always be optimal for performance.
* Add parent-join module
This change adds a new module named `parent-join`.
The goal of this module is to provide a replacement for the `_parent` field but as a first step this change only moves the `has_child`, `has_parent` queries and the `children` aggregation to this module.
These queries and aggregations are no longer in core but they are deployed by default as a module.

We've had `QueryDSLDocumentationTests` for a while but it had a very
hopeful comment at the top about how we want to make sure that the
example in the query-dsl docs match up with the test but we never
had anything that made *sure* that they did. This changes that!
Now the examples from the query-dsl docs are all built from the
`QueryDSLDocumentationTests`. All except for the percolator example
because that is hard to do as it stands now.
To make this easier this change moves `QueryDSLDocumentationTests`
from core and into the high level rest client. This is useful for
two reasons:
1. We expect the high level rest client to be able to use the builders.
2. The code that builds that docs doesn't check out all of
Elasticsearch. It only checks out certain directories. Since we're
already including snippets from that directory we don't have to
make any changes to that process.
Closes#24320
The one argument ctor for `Script` creates a script with the
default language but most usages of are for testing and either
don't care about the language or are for use with
`MockScriptEngine`. This replaces most usages of the one argument
ctor on `Script` with calls to `ESTestCase#mockScript` to make
it clear that the tests don't need the default scripting language.
I've also factored out some copy and pasted script generation
code into a single place. I would have had to change that code
to use `mockScript` anyway, so it was easier to perform the
refactor.

When indexing a document via the bulk API where IDs can be explicitly
specified, we currently accept an empty ID. This is problematic because
such a document can not be obtained via the get API. Instead, we should
rejected these requets as accepting them could be a dangerous form of
leniency. Additionally, we already have a way of specifying
auto-generated IDs and that is to not explicitly specify an ID so we do
not need a second way. This commit rejects the individual requests where
ID is specified but empty.

The buffer limit should have been configurable already, but the factory constructor is package private so it is truly configurable only from the org.elasticsearch.client package. Also the HttpAsyncResponseConsumerFactory interface was package private, so it could only be implemented from the org.elasticsearch.client package.
Closes#23958
This commit modifies the BulkProcessor to be decoupled from the
client implementation. Instead it just takes a
BiConsumer<BulkRequest, ActionListener<BulkResponse>> that executes
the BulkRequest.
This commit renames the random ASCII helper methods in ESTestCase. This
is because this method ultimately uses the random ASCII methods from
randomized runner, but these methods actually only produce random
strings generated from [a-zA-Z].

Today the status is lost when parsing back a BulkItemResponse.Failure. This commit changes the BulkItemResponse.Failure parsing method so that it correctly instantiates a failure with the parsed status instead of realying on the parsed ElasticsearchException (that always return an internal server error status).
The current implementation of RestClient.performAsync() methods can throw exceptions before the request is asynchronously executed. Since it only throws unchecked exceptions, it's easy for the user/dev to forget to catch them. Instead I think async methods should never throw exceptions and should always call the listener onFailure() method.
This commit adds support for an info() method to the High Level Rest
client that returns the cluster information usually obtained by performing a
`GET hostname:9200` request.
NamedXContentRegistry will be used by the high level REST client to parse aggregation responses, and any section whose class type depends on a json key. There are currently on entries in the standard registry, but soon aggs and most likely suggesters will be added. Also it is possible for subclasses to provide additional named xcontent parsers.
In #23253 we added an the ability to incrementally reduce search results.
This change exposes the parameter to control the batch since and therefore
the memory consumption of a large search request.
This commit enforces the requirement of Content-Type for the REST layer and removes the deprecated methods in transport
requests and their usages.
While doing this, it turns out that there are many places where *Entity classes are used from the apache http client
libraries and many of these usages did not specify the content type. The methods that do not specify a content type
explicitly have been added to forbidden apis to prevent more of these from entering our code base.

A previous change aligned the handling of the GET document and HEAD

We have a bunch of interfaces that have only a single implementation
for 6 years now. These interfaces are pretty useless from a SW development
perspective and only add unnecessary abstractions. They also require
lots of casting in many places where we expect that there is only one
concrete implementation. This change removes the interfaces, makes
all of the classes final and removes the duplicate `foo` `getFoo` accessors
in favor of `getFoo` from these classes.
This commit adds support for get and exists api to the high level Java Rest Client. It also adds the infrastructure for other methods to be added in the future.
This is related to #22116. Core no longer needs `SocketPermission`

This change adds a strict mode for xcontent parsing on the rest layer. The strict mode will be off by default for 5.x and in a separate commit will be enabled by default for 6.0. The strict mode, which can be enabled by setting `http.content_type.required: true` in 5.x, will require that all incoming rest requests have a valid and supported content type header before the request is dispatched. In the non-strict mode, the Content-Type header will be inspected and if it is not present or not valid, we will continue with auto detection of content like we have done previously.
The content type header is parsed to the matching XContentType value with the only exception being for plain text requests. This value is then passed on with the content bytes so that we can reduce the number of places where we need to auto-detect the content type.
As part of this, many transport requests and builders were updated to provide methods that
accepted the XContentType along with the bytes and the methods that would rely on auto-detection have been deprecated.
In the non-strict mode, deprecation warnings are issued whenever a request with body doesn't provide the Content-Type header.
See #19388
This adds the necessary `AuthCache` needed to support preemptive authorization. By adding every host to the cache, the automatically added `RequestAuthCache` interceptor will add credentials on the first pass rather than waiting to do it after _each_ anonymous request is rejected (thus always sending everything twice when basic auth is required).
There are presently 7 ctor args used in any rest handlers:
* `Settings`: Every handler uses it to initialize a logger and
some other strange things.
* `RestController`: Every handler registers itself with it.
* `ClusterSettings`: Used by `RestClusterGetSettingsAction` to
render the default values for cluster settings.
* `IndexScopedSettings`: Used by `RestGetSettingsAction` to get
the default values for index settings.
* `SettingsFilter`: Used by a few handlers to filter returned
settings so we don't expose stuff like passwords.
* `IndexNameExpressionResolver`: Used by `_cat/indices` to
filter the list of indices.
* `Supplier<DiscoveryNodes>`: Used to fill enrich the response
by handlers that list tasks.
We probably want to reduce these arguments over time but
switching construction away from guice gives us tighter
control over the list of available arguments.
These parameters are passed to plugins using
`ActionPlugin#initRestHandlers` which is expected to build and
return that handlers immediately. This felt simpler than
returning an reference to the ctors given all the different
possible args.
Breaks java plugins by moving rest handlers off of guice.
All the language clients support a special ignore parameter that doesn't get passed to elasticsearch with the request, but used to indicate which error code should not lead to an exception if returned for a specific request.
Moving this to the low level REST client will allow the high level REST client to make use of it too, for instance so that it doesn't have to intercept ResponseExceptions when the get api returns a 404.
This is related to #22116. A number of modules (reindex, etc) use the
rest client. The rest client opens connections using the apache http
client. To avoid throwing SecurityException when using the
SecurityManager these operations must be privileged. This is tricky
because connections are opened within the httpclient code on its
reactor thread. The way I confronted this was to wrap the creation
of the client (and creation of reactor thread) in a doPrivileged
block. The new thread inherits the existing security context.
The RestHighLevelClient class takes as as an argument a low level client instance RestClient. The first method added is ping, which returns true if the call to HEAD / went ok and false if an IOException was thrown. Any other exception gets bubbled up.
There are two kinds of tests, a unit test (RestHighLevelClientTests) that verifies the interaction between high level and low level client, and an integration test (MainActionIT) which relies on an externally started es cluster to send requests to.
This integrates the mocksocket jar with elasticsearch tests. Mocksocket wraps actions requiring SocketPermissions in doPrivilege blocks. This will eventually allow SocketPermissions to be assigned to the mocksocket jar opposed to the entire elasticsearch codebase.
Today we ship with default jvm.options for server Elasticsearch that
prevents Netty from using some unsafe optimizations. Yet, the settings
do nothing for the transport client since it is embedded in other
applications that will not read and use those settings. This commit adds
these settings for the transport client, and is done so in a way that
still enables users to go unsafe if they want to go unsafe (they
shouldn't, but the option is there).

Not only was StringJoiner unused, it's also a class only available in java 1.8, which is a problem given that the REST client has minimum java required set to 1.7
The warnings get printed out in a single line e.g. WARNING: request [DELETE http://localhost:9200/index/type/_api] returned 3 warnings:[this is warning number 0],[this is warning number 1],[this is warning number 2]
If you try to close the rest client inside one of its callbacks then
it blocks itself. The thread pool switches the status to one that
requests a shutdown and then waits for the pool to shutdown. When
another thread attempts to honor the shutdown request it waits
for all the threads in the pool to finish what they are working on.
Thus thread a is waiting on thread b while thread b is waiting
on thread a. It isn't quite that simple, but it is close.

Today there is no way to get notified if a node is disconnected. Client code
must poll the TransportClient constantly to detect that a node is not connected
anymore in order to react and add new nodes or notify altering etc. For instance
if a hostname gets resolved to an IP but that host is disconnected clients want
to reconnect by resolving the hostname again which is a common situation in cloud
environments.

We kept `netty_3` as a fallback in the 5.x series but now that master

* Rest client: don't reuse that same HttpAsyncResponseConsumer across multiple retries
Turns out that AbstractAsyncResponseConsumer from apache async http client is stateful and cannot be reused across multiple requests. The failover mechanism was mistakenly reusing that same instance, which can be provided by users, across retries in case nodes are down or return 5xx errors. The downside is that we have to change the signature of two public methods, as HttpAsyncResponseConsumer cannot be provided directly anymore, rather its factory needs to be provided which is going to be used to create one instance of the consumer per request attempt.
Up until now we tested our RestClient against multiple nodes only in a mock environment, where we don't really send http requests. In that scenario we can verify that retries etc. work properly but the interaction with the http client library in a real scenario is different and can catch other problems. With this commit we also add an integration test that sends requests to multiple hosts, and some of them may also get stopped meanwhile. The specific test for pathPrefix was also removed as pathPrefix is now randomly applied by default, hence implicitly tested. Moved also a small test method that checked the validity of the path argument to the unit test RestClientSingleHostTests.
Also increase default buffer limit to 100MB and make it required in default consumer
The default buffer limit used to be 10MB but that proved not to be high enough for scroll requests (see reindex from remote). With this commit we increase the limit to 100MB and make it a bit more visibile in the consumer factory.
It was 10mb and that was causing trouble when folks reindex-from-remoted
with large documents.
We also improve the error reporting so it tells folks to use a smaller
batch size if they hit a buffer size exception. Finally, adds some docs
to reindex-from-remote mentioning the buffer and giving an example of
lowering the size.
Closes#21185
Lucene 6.3 is expected to be released in the next weeks so it'd be good to give
it some integration testing. I had to upgrade randomized-testing too so that
both Lucene and Elasticsearch are on the same version.
This change proposes the removal of all non-tcp transport implementations. The
mock transport can be used by default to run tests instead of local transport that has
roughly the same performance compared to TCP or at least not noticeably slower.
This is a master only change, deprecation notice in 5.x will be committed as a
separate change.
Today when parsing a request, Elasticsearch silently ignores incorrect
(including parameters with typos) or unused parameters. This is bad as
it leads to requests having unintended behavior (e.g., if a user hits
the _analyze API and misspell the "tokenizer" then Elasticsearch will
just use the standard analyzer, completely against intentions).
This commit removes lenient URL parameter parsing. The strategy is
simple: when a request is handled and a parameter is touched, we mark it
as such. Before the request is actually executed, we check to ensure
that all parameters have been consumed. If there are remaining
parameters yet to be consumed, we fail the request with a list of the
unconsumed parameters. An exception has to be made for parameters that
format the response (as opposed to controlling the request); for this
case, handlers are able to provide a list of parameters that should be
excluded from tripping the unconsumed parameters check because those
parameters will be used in formatting the response.
Additionally, some inconsistencies between the parameters in the code
and in the docs are corrected.

* Build: Remove old maven deploy support
This change removes the old maven deploy that we have in parallel to
maven-publish, and makes maven-publish fully work with publishing to
maven local. Using `gradle publishToMavenLocal` should be used to
publish to .m2.
Note that there is an unfortunate hack that means for
zip artifacts we must first create/publish a dummy pom file, and then
follow that with the real pom file. It would be nice to have the pom
file contains packaging=zip, but maven central then requires sources and
javadocs. But our zips are really just attached artifacts, so we already
set the packaging type to pom for our zip files. This change just works
around a limitation of the underlying maven publishing library which
silently skips attached artifacts when the packaging type is set to pom.

* Remove unnecessary extra spacing
This change replaces the fields parameter with stored_fields when it makes sense.
This is dictated by the renaming we made in #18943 for the search API.
The following list of endpoint has been changed to use `stored_fields` instead of `fields`:
* get
* mget
* explain
The documentation and the rest API spec has been updated to cope with the changes for the following APIs:
* delete_by_query
* get
* mget
* explain
The `fields` parameter has been deprecated for the following APIs (it is replaced by _source filtering):
* update: the fields are extracted from the _source directly.
* bulk: the fields parameter is used but fields are extracted from the source directly so it is allowed to have non-stored fields.
Some APIs still have the `fields` parameter for various reasons:
* cat.fielddata: the fields paramaters relates to the fielddata fields that should be printed.
* indices.clear_cache: used to indicate which fielddata fields should be cleared.
* indices.get_field_mapping: used to filter fields in the mapping.
* indices.stats: get stats on fields (stored or not stored).
* termvectors: fields are retrieved from the stored fields if possible and extracted from the _source otherwise.
* mtermvectors:
* nodes.stats: the fields parameter is used to concatenate completion_fields and fielddata_fields so it's not related to stored_fields at all.

Add support for a RestClient base path
This commit adds an assumption to
PreBuiltTransportClientTests#testPluginInstalled on JDK 9. The
underlying issue is that Netty attempts to access sun.nio.ch but this
package is not exported from java.base on JDK 9. This throws an uncaught
InaccessibleObjectException causing the test to fail. This assumption
can be removed when Netty 4.1.6 is released as it will include a fix for
this scenario.
Relates #20251
This enables the RestClient to send array-based (multi-valued) header values, rather than only sending whatever happened to be the _last_ value of the header.
This enables simple support for proxies (beyond proxy host and proxy port, which is done via the RequestConfig)) to provide a base path in front of all requests performed by the RestClient.
This removes final from the RestClient, Response, and Sniffer classes so that outside code can mock them. Their constructors are already package private, so there's not much that can go wrong.
Today when we load the Netty plugins, we indirectly cause several Netty
classes to initialize. This is because we attempt to load some classes
by name, and loading these classes is done in a way that triggers a long
chain of class initializers within Netty. We should not do this, this
can lead to log messages before the logger is loader, and it leads to
initialization in cases when the classes would never be needed (for
example, Netty 3 class initialization is never needed if Netty 4 is
used, and vice versa). This commit avoids this early initialization of
these classes by removing the need for the early loading.

This commit updates Jackson to the 2.8.1 version, which is more strict when it comes to build objects. It also adds the snakeyaml dependency that was previously shaded in jackson libs.
It also closes#18076
When closing a transport client that depends on Netty 4, interrupted
exceptions can be thrown while shutting down some Netty threads. This
commit refactors the handling of these exceptions to finish shutting
down and then just restore the interrupted status.
Today if the PreBuiltTransportClient is using Netty 4 transport, on
shutdown some Netty 4 threads could linger. This commit causes the
client to wait for these threads to shutdown upon termination.
This change does three things:
1. Makes PreBuiltTransportClientTests run since it was silently
failing on a missing dependency
2. Makes PreBuiltTransportClientTests pass
3. Removes the http.type and transport.type from being set in the
transport clients additional settings since these are set to `netty4` by
default anyway.
* Allow to run client benchmark as an uberjar

* Trigger and wait for full GC to happen between trials
* Add missing SuppressForbidden to allow System.gc in client benchmark
Consuming the response body to make it part of the exception message means that it may not be readable anymore later, depending on whether the entity is repeatable or not. Turns out that the response body tells a lot about the error itself, and considering that we don't expect bodies to be incredibly big for errors, we can wrap the entity into a BufferedHttpEntity to make it repeatable.
Closes#19622
Simplify Sniffer initialization and automatically create the default HostsSniffer
Take Sniffer.Builder out to its own top level class. Remove HostsSniffer.Builder and let SnifferBuilder create the default HostsSniffer. This simplifies the Sniffer initialization as the HostsSniffer is not mandatory anymore. It can still be specified though in case the configuration needs to be changed or a different impl has to be used. Also make HostsSniffer an interface.
It can happen that the list of healthy hosts is empty, then we get one from the blacklist. but some other operation might have sneaked in and emptied the blacklist in the meantime, so we have to retry till we manage to get some host, either from the healthy list or from the blacklist.
Throw explicit IllegalStateException in unexpected situations, like where both response and exception are set, or when both are unset. Add unit test for SyncResponseListener.
We throw IOException, which is the exception that is going to be thrown in 99% of the cases. A more generic exception can happen, and if it is a runtime one we just let it bubble up as is, otherwise we wrap it into runtime one so that we don't require to catch Exception everywhere, which seems odd.
Also adjusted javadocs for all performRequest methods
We keep the default async client behaviour like in BasicAsyncResponseConsumer, but we lower the maximum size of the buffer from Integer.MAX_VALUE (2GB) to 10 MB. This way users will realize they are buffering big responses in heap hence they'll know they have to do something about it, either write their own response consumer or increase the buffer size limit by providing their manually creeted instance of HeapBufferedAsyncResponseConsumer (constructor accept a bufferLimit int argument).
Also delayed call to HttpAsyncClient#start so that if something goes wrong while creating the RestClient, the http client threads don't linger. In fact, if the constructor fails it is not possible to call close against the RestClient.
HttpClientConfigCallback#customizeHttpClient now also returns the HttpClientBuilder so it can be completely replaced
RequestConfigCallback#customizeRequestConfig now also returns the HttpClientBuilder so it can be completely replaced
The new method accepts the usual parameters (method, endpoint, params, entity and headers) plus a response listener and an async response consumer. Shortcut methods are also added that don't require params, entity and the async response consumer optional.
There are a few relevant api changes as a consequence of the move to async client that affect sync methods:
- Response doesn't implement Closeable anymore, responses don't need to be closed
- performRequest throws Exception rather than just IOException, as that is the the exception that we get from the FutureCallback#failed method in the async http client
- ssl configuration is a bit simpler, one only needs to call setSSLStrategy from a custom HttpClientConfigCallback, that doesn't end up overridng any other default around connection pooling (it used to happen with the sync client and make ssl configuration more complex)

Preinstalled modules are:
* transport-netty
* lang-mustache
* reindex

while `TransportClient.Builder` has only a protected construcutor

from the new jar.
Closes#19412
The callback replaces the ability to fully replace the http client instance. By doing that, one used to lose any default that the RestClient had set for the underlying http client. Given that you'd usually override one or two things only, like a couple of timeout values, the ssl factory or the default credentials providers, it is not uder friendly if by doing that users end up replacing the whole http client instance and lose any default set by us.
Users wanting to send a request by providing only its method and endpoint, effectively the only two required arguments, shouldn't need to pass in an empty map and a null entity for the body. While at it we can also add a variant to send requests by specifying only method, endpoint and params, but not body. Headers remain a vararg as last argument, so they can always optionally be provided.
Closes#19312
The assumption is HostsSniffer is that all of the arguments have been properly provided and validated through HostsSniffer.Builder, except they weren't, as the scheme didn't have a default value and when not set would cause NPEs down the road. Improved tests to catch this also.
Some Rest tests use the Sun HTTP server which has lingering threads after shutdown. Similar to ESTestCase, this adds an
option to wait 5 seconds for these threads to terminate.

This lines the client up with how we do things like modules and

The lucene-test dependency caused issues with IDEs as they would always load the lucene 5 jar although they shouldn't have, which caused jarhell in es core tests.
If we depend directly on randomized runner we don't have this problem. It is luckily still compatible with java 1.7. This requires though adding a thin module that includes the base test class which can be shared between client and client-sniffer.
Projects that don't depend on elasticsearch-test fail otherwise because org.elasticsearch.test.EsIntegTestCase (default integ test class) is not in the classpath. They should provide their onw integ test base class, but having integration tests should not be mandatory. One can simply set skipIntegTestsInDisguise to true to prevent loading of integ test class.
