The `recovery_after_time` tells the gateway to wait before starting recovery from disk. The goal here is to allow for more nodes to join the cluster and thus not start potentially unneeded replications. The `expectedNodes` setting (and friends) tells the gateway when it can start recovering even if the `recover_after_time` has not yet elapsed. However, `expectedNodes` is useless if one doesn't set `recovery_after_time`. This commit changes that by setting a sensible default of 5m for `recover_after_time` *if* a `expectedNodes` setting is present.

`mmapfs` is really good for random access but can have sideeffects if
memory maps are large depending on the operating system etc. A hybrid
solution where only selected files are actually memory mapped but others
mostly consumed sequentially brings the best of both worlds and
minimizes the memory map impact.
This commit mmaps only the `dvd` and `tim` file for fast random access
on docvalues and term dictionaries.

Currently regexes in Pattern Tokenizer docs are escaped (it seems according to Java rules). I think it is better not to escape them because JSON escaping should be automatic in client libraries, and string escaping depends on a client language used. The default pattern is `\W+`, not `\\W+`.

For the casual reader, the reference to "term queries" may be glossed over, yielding an unexpected result when using `regexp` queries.
This attempts to make that distinction more prominent.
Closes#6698
If the match query with cutoff_frequency encounters stacked tokens,
like synonyms in the same position, it returns a boolean query instead
of a common terms query. However, if the original operator was set
to "and", it was ignoring that and resetting the operator to "or".
In fact, if operator is "and" then there is little benefit in using
a common terms query as a must query is already
executed efficiently.
The `exists` and `missing` filters need to merge postings lists of all existing
terms, which can be very costly, especially on high-cardinality fields. This
commit indexes the field names of a document under `_field_names` and reuses it

This is only enabled for indices that are created on or after Elasticsearch

When a node sends a join request to the master, only send back the response after it has been added to the master cluster state and published.
This will fix the rare cases where today, a join request can return, and the master, since its under load, have not yet added the node to its cluster state, and the node that joined will start a fault detect against the master, failing since its not part of the cluster state.

The GeoBounds Aggregation is a new single bucket aggregation which outputs the coordinates of a bounding box containing all the points from all the documents passed to the aggregation as well as the doc count. Geobound Aggregation also use a wrap_logitude parameter which specifies whether the resulting bounding box is permitted to overlap the international date line. This option defaults to true.
This aggregation introduces the idea of MetricsAggregation which do not return double values and cannot be used for sorting. The existing MetricsAggregation has been renamed to NumericMetricsAggregation and is a subclass of MetricsAggregation. MetricsAggregations do not store doc counts and do not support child aggregations.

Using ping.timeout, which defaults to 3s, to use as a timeout value on the join request a node makes to the master once its discovered can be too small, specifically when there is a large cluster state involved (and by definition, all the buffers and such on the nio layer will be "cold").

Until now all version types have officially required the version to be a positive long number. Despite of this has being documented, ES versions <=1.0 did not enforce it when using the `external` version type. As a result people have succesfully indexed documents with 0 as a version. In 1.1. we introduced validation checks on incoming version values and causing indexing request to fail if the version was set to 0. While this is strictly speaking OK, we effectively have a situation where data already indexed does not match the version invariant.
To be lenient and adhere to spirit of our data backward compatibility policy, we have decided to allow 0 as a valid external version type. This is somewhat complicated as 0 is also the internal value of `MATCH_ANY`, which indicates requests should succeed regardles off the current doc version. To keep things simple, this commit changes the internal value of `MATCH_ANY` to `-3` for all version types.
Since we're doing this in a minor release (and because versions are stored in the transaction log), the default `internal` version type still accepts 0 as a `MATCH_ANY` value. This is not a problem for other version types as `MATCH_ANY` doesn't make sense in that context.
Closes#5662
* If plugin does not provide `lucene` property, we consider that the plugin is compatible.
* If plugin provides `lucene` property, we try to load related Enum org.apache.lucene.util.Version. If this fails, it means that the node is too "old" comparing to the Lucene version the plugin was built for.
* We compare then two first digits of current node lucene version against two first digits of plugin Lucene version. If not equal, it means that the plugin is too "old" for the current node.
Plugin developers who wants to launch plugin check only have to add a `lucene` property in `es-plugin.properties` file. If you are using maven to build your plugin, you can do it like this:
In `pom.xml`:
```xml
<properties>
<lucene.version>4.6.0</lucene.version>
</properties>
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
```
In `es-plugin.properties`, add:
```properties
lucene=${lucene.version}
```
BTW, if you don't already have it, you can add the plugin version as well:
```properties
version=${project.version}
```
You can disable that check using `plugins.check_lucene: false`.
Our improvements to t-digest have been pushed upstream and t-digest also got

Adds a table with the exhaustive list of all available headers with a brief description (mostly from `org.elasticsearch.rest.action.cat.RestNodesAction`) so that people do not need to go searching for them in the code like I did, or search through `nodes?help`.
Significant terms internally maintain a priority queue per shard with a size potentially
lower than the number of terms. This queue uses the score as criterion to determine if
a bucket is kept or not. If many terms with low subsetDF score very high
but the `min_doc_count` is set high, this might result in no terms being
returned because the pq is filled with low frequent terms which are all sorted
out in the end.
This can be avoided by increasing the `shard_size` parameter to a higher value.
However, it is not immediately clear to which value this parameter must be set
because we can not know how many terms with low frequency are scored higher that
the high frequent terms that we are actually interested in.
On the other hand, if there is no routing of docs to shards involved, we can maybe
assume that the documents of classes and also the terms therein are distributed evenly
across shards. In that case it might be easier to not add documents to the pq that have
subsetDF <= `shard_min_doc_count` which can be set to something like
`min_doc_count`/number of shards because we would assume that even when summing up
the subsetDF across shards `min_doc_count` will not be reached.

Currently we use 5k operations as a flush threshold. Indexing 5k documents
per second is rather common which would cause the index to be committed on
the lucene level each time the flush logic runs which is 5 seconds by default.
We should rather use a size based threshold similar to the lucene index writer
that doesn't cause such agressive commits which can slow down indexing significantly
especially since they cause the underlying devices to fsync their data.

By default the date_/histogram returns all the buckets within the range of the data itself, that is, the documents with the smallest values (on which with histogram) will determine the min bucket (the bucket with the smallest key) and the documents with the highest values will determine the max bucket (the bucket with the highest key). Often, when when requesting empty buckets (min_doc_count : 0), this causes a confusion, specifically, when the data is also filtered.
To understand why, let's look at an example:
Lets say the you're filtering your request to get all docs from the last month, and in the date_histogram aggs you'd like to slice the data per day. You also specify min_doc_count:0 so that you'd still get empty buckets for those days to which no document belongs. By default, if the first document that fall in this last month also happen to fall on the first day of the **second week** of the month, the date_histogram will **not** return empty buckets for all those days prior to that second week. The reason for that is that by default the histogram aggregations only start building buckets when they encounter documents (hence, missing on all the days of the first week in our example).
With extended_bounds, you now can "force" the histogram aggregations to start building buckets on a specific min values and also keep on building buckets up to a max value (even if there are no documents anymore). Using extended_bounds only makes sense when min_doc_count is 0 (the empty buckets will never be returned if the min_doc_count is greater than 0).
Note that (as the name suggest) extended_bounds is **not** filtering buckets. Meaning, if the min bounds is higher than the values extracted from the documents, the documents will still dictate what the min bucket will be (and the same goes to the extended_bounds.max and the max bucket). For filtering buckets, one should nest the histogram agg under a range filter agg with the appropriate min/max.
Closes#5224
Today, we use ConcurrentMergeScheduler, and this can be painful since it is concurrent on a shard level, with a max of 3 threads doing concurrent merges. If there are several shards being indexed, then there will be a minor explosion of threads trying to do merges, all being throttled by our merge throttling.
Moving to serial merge scheduler will still maintain concurrency of merges across shards, as we have the merge thread pool that schedules those merges. It will just be a serial one on a specific shard.
Also, on serial merge scheduler, we now have a limit of how many merges it will do at one go, so it will let other shards get their fair chance of merging. We use the pending merges on IW to check if merges are needed or not for it.
Note, that if a merge is happening, it will not block due to a sync on the maybeMerge call at indexing (flush) time, since we wrap our merge scheduler with the EnabledMergeScheduler, where maybeMerge is not activated during indexing, only with explicit calls to IW#maybeMerge (see Merges).

This aggregation computes unique term counts using the hyperloglog++ algorithm
which uses linear counting to estimate low cardinalities and hyperloglog on
higher cardinalities.
Since this algorithm works on hashes, it is useful for high-cardinality fields
to store the hash of values directly in the index, which is the purpose of
the new `murmur3` field type. This is less necessary on low-cardinality
string fields because the aggregator is smart enough to only compute the hash
once per unique value per segment thanks to ordinals, or on numeric fields
since hashing them is very fast.

================
This commit extends the `CompletionSuggester` by context
informations. In example such a context informations can
be a simple string representing a category reducing the
suggestions in order to this category.
Three base implementations of these context informations
have been setup in this commit.
- a Category Context
- a Geo Context
All the mapping for these context informations are
specified within a context field in the completion
field that should use this kind of information.
Introduced two levels of randomization for the number of shards (between 1 and 10) when running tests:
1) through the existing random index template, which now sets a random number of shards that is shared across all the indices created in the same test method unless overwritten
2) through `createIndex` and `prepareCreate` methods, similar to what happens using the `indexSettings` method, which changes for every `createIndex` or `prepareCreate` unless overwritten (overwrites index template for what concerns the number of shards)
Added the following facilities to deal with the random number of shards:
- `getNumShards` to retrieve the number of shards of a given existing index, useful when doing comparisons based on the number of shards and we can avoid specifying a static number. The method returns an object containing the number of primaries, number of replicas and the total number of shards for the existing index
- added `assertFailures` that checks that a shard failure happened during a search request, either partial failure or total (all shards failed). Checks also the error code and the error message related to the failure. This is needed as without knowing the number of shards upfront, when simulating errors we can run into either partial (search returns partial results and failures) or total failures (search returns an error)
- added common methods similar to `indexSettings`, to be used in combination with `createIndex` and `prepareCreate` method and explicitly control the second level of randomization: `numberOfShards`, `minimumNumberOfShards` and `maximumNumberOfShards`. Added also `numberOfReplicas` despite the number of replicas is not randomized (default not specified but can be overwritten by tests)
Tests that specified the number of shards have been reviewed and the results follow:
- removed number_of_shards in node settings, ignored anyway as it would be overwritten by both mechanisms above
- remove specific number of shards when not needed
- removed manual shards randomization where present, replaced with ordinary one that's now available
- adapted tests that didn't need a specific number of shards to the new random behaviour
- fixed a couple of test bugs (e.g. 3 levels parent child test could only work on a single shard as the routing key used for grand-children wasn't correct)
- also done some cleanup, shared code through shard size facets and aggs tests and used common methods like `assertAcked`, `ensureGreen`, `refresh`, `flush` and `refreshAndFlush` where possible
- made sure that `indexSettings()` is always used as a basis when using `prepareCreate` to inject specific settings
- converted indexRandom(false, ...) + refresh to indexRandom(true, ...)
Supports sorting on sub-aggs down the current hierarchy. This is supported as long as the aggregation in the specified order path are of a single-bucket type, where the last aggregation in the path points to either a single-bucket aggregation or a metrics one. If it's a single-bucket aggregation, the sort will be applied on the document count in the bucket (i.e. doc_count), and if it is a metrics type, the sort will be applied on the pointed out metric (in case of a single-metric aggregations, such as avg, the sort will be applied on the single metric value)
NOTE: this commit adds a constraint on what should be considered a valid aggregation name. Aggregations names must be alpha-numeric and may contain '-' and '_'.
