Log4j has a bug where on shutdown it ignores that JMX might be disabled;
since it does not respect this on shutdown, it proceeds to attempt to
access JMX leading to a security exception that should have otherwise
not occurred had it respected that JMX is disabled. This commit
intentionally introduces jar hell with the Server class to work around
this bug until a fix is released.

Previously we would disable console logging in certain circumstances
(for example, if Elasticsearch is not in the foreground, or if
Elasticsearch is in the foreground but an exception was thrown during
bootstrap). This commit makes this handling work with Log4j 2. This will
prevent users from seeing double bootstrap check failure messages.

The 5.x series of Elasticsearch emits a warning if any of the old
logging configuration formats are present. This commit removes that
warning.

By default, when an exception causes the JVM to terminate, the stack
trace is printed. In the case of failing bootstrap checks, this stack
trace is useless to the user, and might even distract them from seeing
that the bootstrap checks failed for reasons under their control. With
this commit, we cause the stack trace for a failing bootstrap check to
be truncated.
We also modify some methods to not declare that they throw the top level
checked exception type Exception, but instead explicitly declare the
exceptions that they throw. These exceptions are caught and wrapped in a
BootstrapException so that we can percolate only two exception types out
of Bootstrap#init as checked exception, BootstrapException and
NodeValidationException.

The logging configuration tests write to log files which are deleted at
the end of the test. If these files are not closed, some operating
systems will complain when these deletes are performed. This commit
ensures that the logging system is properly shutdown so that these files
can be properly deleted.
The evil logging tests write to log files which are deleted at the end

complain when these deletes are performed. This commit ensures that the
logging system is properly shutdown so that these files can be properly
deleted.
This commit expands on the message printed when config files are
preserved when removing a plugin to give the user an indication of the
reason the config files are preserved.
When removing a plugin with a config directory, we preserve the config
directory. This is because the workflow for upgrading a plugin involves
removing and then installing the plugin again and losing the plugin
config in this case would be terrible. This commit causes a message
regarding this to be printed in case the user wants to manually delete
these files.
This commit enables CLI tools to have console logging. For the CLI
tools, we skip configuring the logging infrastructure via the config
file, and instead set the level only via a system property.
This commit fixes failing evil logging configuration tests. The test for
resolving multiple configuration files was failing after
9a58fc2348 removed some of the
configuration needed for this test. The solution is revert the removal
of that configuration, but remove additivity from the test logger to
prevent the evil logger tests from failing.
This commit defaults the max local storage nodes to one. The motivation
for this change is that a default value greather than one is dangerous
as users sometimes end up unknowingly starting a second node and start
thinking that they have encountered data loss.

This commit fixes a test bug in
EvilJNANativesTests#testSetMaximumNumberOfThreads. Namely, the test was
not checking whether or not the value from /proc/self/limits was equal
to "unlimited" before attempting to parse as a long. This commit fixes
that error.
Today `node.mode` and `node.local` serve almost the same purpose, they
are a shortcut for `discovery.type` and `transport.type`. If `node.local: true`
or `node.mode: local` is set elasticsearch will start in _local_ mode which means
only nodes within the same JVM are discovered and a non-network based transport
is used. The _local_ mode it only really used in tests or if nodes are embedded.
For both, embedding and tests explicit configuration via `discovery.type` and `transport.type`
should be preferred.
This change removes all the usage of these settings and by-default doesn't
configure a default transport implemenation since netty is now a module. Yet, to make
the user expericence flawless, plugins or modules can set a `http.type.default` and
`transport.type.default`. Plugins set this via `PluginService#additionalSettings()`
which enforces _set-once_ which prevents node startup if set multiple times. This means
that our distributions will just startup with netty transport since it's packaged as a
module unless `transport.type` or `http.transport.type` is explicitly set.
This change also found a bunch of bugs since several NamedWriteables were not registered if a
transport client is used. Now that we don't rely on the `node.mode` leniency which is inherited
instead of using explicit settings, `TransportClient` uses `AssertingLocalTransport` which detects these problems since it serializes all messages.
Closes#16234
this commit moves the most of the http related integ tests out into it's own
`qa/smoke-test-http` project where most of the test can run against the external cluster.
The top-level class Throwable represents all errors and exceptions in
Java. This hierarchy is divided into Error and Exception, the former
being serious problems that applications should not try to catch and the
latter representing exceptional conditions that an application might
want to catch and handle. This commit renames
org.elasticsearch.cli.UserError to org.elasticsearch.UserException to
make its name consistent with where it falls in this hierarchy.

Node IDs are currently randomly generated during node startup. That means they change every time the node is restarted. While this doesn't matter for ES proper, it makes it hard for external services to track nodes. Another, more minor, side effect is that indexing the output of, say, the node stats API results in creating new fields due to node ID being used as keys.
The first approach I considered was to use the node's published address as the base for the id. We already [treat nodes with the same address as the same](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/discovery/zen/NodeJoinController.java#L387) so this is a simple change (see [here](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/compare/master...bleskes:node_persistent_id_based_on_address)). While this is simple and it works for probably most cases, it is not perfect. For example, if after a node restart, the node is not able to bind to the same port (because it's not yet freed by the OS), it will cause the node to still change identity. Also in environments where the host IP can change due to a host restart, identity will not be the same.
Due to those limitation, I opted to go with a different approach where the node id will be persisted in the node's data folder. This has the upside of connecting the id to the nodes data. It also means that the host can be adapted in any way (replace network cards, attach storage to a new VM). I
It does however also have downsides - we now run the risk of two nodes having the same id, if someone copies clones a data folder from one node to another. To mitigate this I changed the semantics of the protection against multiple nodes with the same address to be stricter - it will now reject the incoming join if a node exists with the same id but a different address. Note that if the existing node doesn't respond to pings (i.e., it's not alive) it will be removed and the new node will be accepted when it tries another join.
Last, and most importantly, this change requires that *all* nodes persist data to disk. This is a change from current behavior where only data & master nodes store local files. This is the main reason for marking this PR as breaking.
Other less important notes:
- DummyTransportAddress is removed as we need a unique network address per node. Use `LocalTransportAddress.buildUnique()` instead.
- I renamed `node.add_lid_to_custom_path` to `node.add_lock_id_to_custom_path` to avoid confusion with the node ID which is now part of the `NodeEnvironment` logic.
- I removed the `version` paramater from `MetaDataStateFormat#write` , it wasn't really used and was just in the way :)
- TribeNodes are special in the sense that they do start multiple sub-nodes (previously known as client nodes). Those sub-nodes do not store local files but derive their ID from the parent node id, so they are generated consistently.
Today throughout the codebase, catch throwable is used with reckless
abandon. This is dangerous because the throwable could be a fatal
virtual machine error resulting from an internal error in the JVM, or an
out of memory error or a stack overflow error that leaves the virtual
machine in an unstable and unpredictable state. This commit removes
catch throwable from the codebase and removes the temptation to use it
by modifying listener APIs to receive instances of Exception instead of
the top-level Throwable.

As some plugins are becoming big now, it is hard for the user to know, if the plugin
is being downloaded or just nothing happens.
This commit adds a progress bar during download, which can be disabled by using the `-q`
parameter.
In addition this updates to jimfs 1.1, which allows us to test the batch mode, as adding
security policies are now supported due to having jimfs:// protocol support in URL stream
handlers.
Previously Elasticsearch used $DATA_DIR/$CLUSTER_NAME/nodes for the path
where data is stored, this commit changes that to be $DATA_DIR/nodes.
On startup, if the old folder structure is detected it will be used.
This behavior will be removed in Elasticsearch 6.0

We have 3 evil tests for jarhell. They have been failing in java 9
because of how evil they are. The first checks the leniency we add for
jarhell in the jdk itself. This is unecessary, since if the leniency
wasn't there, we would already be failing all jarhell checks. The second
is checking the compile version is compatible with the jdk. This is
simpler since we don't need to fake the java version: we know 1.7 should
be compatibile with both java 8 and 9, so we can use that as a constant.
Finally the last test checks if the java version system property is
broken. This is simply something we should not check, we have to trust
that java specifies it correctly, and again, if it was broken, all
jarhell checks would be broken.
Lucene SuppressForbidden is marked lucene.internal and should not be
used outside of Lucene. This commit removes the uses of this class
within Elasticsearch. Instead,
org.elasticsearch.common.SuppressForbidden should be used, which was
already the case in most places.
This commit removes the ability to specify a custom plugins
path. Instead, the plugins path will always be a subdirectory called
"plugins" off of the home directory.
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

This changes our packaging to be explicit about the permissions of files
and directories in the tar.gz, rpm, and deb packages. This is to protect
against a user having an incorrectly set umask when installing.
Additionally, plugins that are installed now have their permissions set
by the plugin installation so that plugins that may have been packaged
with incorrect permissions are secured.
Resolves#17634
This commit adds a bootstrap check on Linux and OS X for the max size of
virtual memory (address space) to the user running the Elasticsearch
process.
Closes#16935
This commit sets up the default filesystem used during install plugins
tests. A hack is neeeded to handle the temporary directory because the
system property "java.io.tmpdir" will have been initialized to a value
that is sensible for the default filesystem, but not necessarily to a
value that makes sense for the mock filesystem in use during the
tests. This property is restored after each test.
This commit refactors the unit tests for installing plugins to test
against mock filesystems (as well as the native filesystem) for better
test coverage. This commit also adds tests that cover the POSIX
attributes handling when installing plugins (e.g., ensuring that the
plugins directory has the right permissions, the bin directory has
execute permissions, and the config directory has the same owner and
group as its parent).
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
When unzipping a plugin zip, the zip entries are resolved relative to
the directory being unzipped into. However, there are currently no
checks that the entry name was not absolute, or relatively points
outside of the plugin dir. This change adds a check for those two cases.
Currently, the cluster service is tightly coupled to the transport service by both managing node connections and requiring the bound address in order to create the local disco node. This commit introduces a new NodeConnectionsService which is in charge of node connection management and makes it possible to remove all network related calls from the cluster service. The local DiscoNode is now created by DiscoveryNodeService and is set both the cluster service and the transport service during node start up.
Closes#16788Closes#16872
This commit simplifies and consolidates the two different
implementations of terminals used in tests. There is now a single
MockTerminal which captures output, and allows accessing as one large
string (with unix style \n as newlines), as well as configuring
input.
DiscoveryService was a bridge into the discovery universe. This is unneeded and we can just access discovery directly or do things in a different way.
One of those different ways, is not having a dedicated discovery implementation for each our dicovery plugins but rather reuse ZenDiscovery.
UnicastHostProviders are now classified by discovery type, removing unneeded checks on plugins.
Closes#16821
Today we might start a node and some of the paths might not have the
required permissions. This commit goes through all data directories as
well as index, shard and state directories and ensures we have write access.
To make this work across all OS etc. we are trying to write a real file
and remove it again in each of those directories
One of our tests leaked a system property here since we failed after appling some
system properties in BootstrapCLIParser. This is not a huge deal in production since
we exit the JVM if we fail on that. Yet for correctnes we should only apply them if
we manage to parse them all.
This also caused a test failure lately on CI but on an unrelated test:
https://elasticsearch-ci.elastic.co/job/elastic+elasticsearch+master+periodic/314/console
Identifying when a plugin id is maven coordinates is currently done by
checking if the plugin id contains 2 colons. However, a valid url could
have 2 colons, for example when a port is specified. This change adds
another check, ensuring the plugin id with maven coordinates does not
contain a slash, which only a url would have.
closes#16376
This commit enableds strict settings validation on node startup. All settings
passed to elasticsearch either through system properties, yaml files or any other
way to pass settings must be registered and valid. Settings that are unknown ie. due to
typos or due to deprecation or removal will cause the node to NOT start up. Plugins
have to declare all their settings on the `SettingsModule#registerSetting` and settings for
plugins that are not installed must be removed.
This commit also removes the ability to specify the nodes name via `-Des.name` or just `name` in the
configuration files. The node name must be prefixed with the node prexif like `node.name: Boom`. Left over
usage of `name` will also cause startup to fail.
Cli tools currently catch all exceptions, and only print the exception
message, except when a special system property is set. Even with this
flag set, certain exceptions, like IOException, are captured and their
stack trace is always lost.
This change adds a UserError class, which can be used a cli tools to
specify a message to the user, as well as an exit status. All other
exceptions are propagated out of main, so java will exit with non-zero
and print the stack trace.
The plugin cli currently is extremely lenient, allowing most errors to
simply be logged. This can lead to either corrupt installations (eg
partially installed plugins), or confused users.
This change rewrites the plugin cli to have almost no leniency.
Unfortunately it was not possible to remove all leniency, due in
particular to how config files are handled.
The following functionality was simplified:
* The format of the name argument to install a plugin is now an official
plugin name, maven coordinates, or a URL.
* Checksum files are required, and only checked, for official plugins
and maven plugins. Checksums are also only SHA1.
* Downloading no longer uses a separate thread, and no longer has a timeout.
* Installation, and removal, attempts to be atomic. This only truly works
when no config or bin files exist.
* config and bin directories are verified before copying is attempted.
* Permissions and user/group are no longer set on config and bin files.
We rely on the users umask.
* config and bin directories must only contain files, no subdirectories.
* The code is reorganized so each command is a separate class. These
classes already existed, but were embedded in the plugin cli class, as
an extra layer between the cli code and the code running for each command.
If we don't do this, and some path.conf is set when starting the tribe node, that path.conf will be ignored and the inner tribe clients will try to read elsewhere, where they most likely don't have permissions to read from.

Site plugins used to be used for things like kibana and marvel, but
there is no longer a need since kibana (and marvel as a kibana plugin)
uses node.js. This change removes site plugins, as well as the flag for
jvm plugins. Now all plugins are jvm plugins.
This fixes the `lenient` parameter to be `missingClasses`. I will remove this boolean and we can handle them via the normal whitelist.
It also adds a check for sheisty classes (jar hell with the jdk).
This is inspired by the lucene "sheisty" classes check, but it has false positives. This check is more evil, it validates every class file against the extension classloader as a resource, to see if it exists there. If so: jar hell.
This jar hell is a problem for several reasons:
1. causes insanely-hard-to-debug problems (like bugs in forbidden-apis)
2. hides problems (like internal api access)
3. the code you think is executing, is not really executing
4. security permissions are not what you think they are
5. brings in unnecessary dependencies
6. its jar hell
The more difficult problems are stuff like jython, where these classes are simply 'uberjared' directly in, so you cant just fix them by removing a bogus dependency. And there is a legit reason for them to do that, they want to support java 1.4.
This commit removes and now forbids all uses of
Collections#shuffle(List) and Random#<init>() across the codebase. The
rationale for removing and forbidding these methods is to increase test
reproducibility. As these methods use non-reproducible seeds, production
code and tests that rely on these methods contribute to
non-reproducbility of tests.
Instead of Collections#shuffle(List) the method
Collections#shuffle(List, Random) can be used. All that is required then
is a reproducible source of randomness. Consequently, the utility class
Randomness has been added to assist in creating reproducible sources of
randomness.
Instead of Random#<init>(), Random#<init>(long) with a reproducible seed
or the aforementioned Randomess class can be used.
Closes#15287
The NodeBuilder is currently used to construct a Node. However, this is
really just yet-another-builder that wraps around a Settings.Builder
witha couple convenience methods. But there are very few uses of these
convenience methods. This change removes NodeBuilder, in favor of just
using the Node constructor.
The tribe node creates one local client node for each cluster it
connects to. Refactorings in #13383 broke this so that each local client
node now tries to load the full elasticsearch.yml that the real tribe
node uses.
This change fixes the problem by adding a TribeClientNode which is a
subclass of Node. The Environment the node uses is now passed in (in
place of Settings), and the TribeClientNode simply does not use
InternalSettingsPreparer.prepareEnvironment.
The tests around tribe nodes are not great. The existing tests pass, but
I also manually tested by creating 2 local clusters, and configuring and
starting a tribe node. With this I was able to see in the logs the tribe
node connecting to each cluster.
