RandomScoreFunction previously relied on the order the documents were
iterated in from Lucene. This caused changes in ordering, with the same
seed, if documents moved to different segments. With this change, a
murmur32 hash of the _uid for each document is used as the "random"
value. Also, the hash is adjusted so as to only return values between
0.0 and 1.0 to enable easier manipulation to fit into users' scoring
models.
closes#6907, #7446
Items with no specified field now defaults to all the possible fields from the
document source. Previously, we had required 'fields' to be specified either
as a top level parameter or for each item. The default behavior is now similar
to the MLT API.
Closes#7382
The term vector API can now generate term vectors on the fly, if the terms are
not already stored in the index. This commit exploits this new functionality
for the MLT query. Now the terms are directly retrieved using multi-
termvectors API, instead of generating them from the texts retrieved using the
multi-get API.
Closes#7014
The current implementation of 'date_histogram' does not understand
the `factor` parameter. Since the docs shouldn't raise false hopes,
I removed the section.
Closes#7277
This change means that the default settings for expand_wildcards are only applied if the expand_wildcards parameter is not specified rather than being set upfront. It also adds the none and all options to the parameter to allow the user to specify no expansion and expansion to all indexes (equivalent to 'open,closed')
Closes#7258
This change stores the index creation time in the index metadata when an index is created. The creation time cannot be changed but can be set as part of the create index request to allow for correct creation times for historical data.
Closes#7119
This documentation was dangerous because it felt like it was possible to gain
substantial performance by just switching the codec of the index.
However, non-default codecs are dangerous to use since they are not supported
in terms of backward compatibility, and most improvements that they bring have
been folded into the default codec anyway (for example, the default codec
"pulses" postings lists that contain a single document).
In the case of inserts the UpdateHelper class will now allow the script used to apply updates to run on the upsert doc provided by clients. This allows the logic for managing the internal state of the data item to be managed by the script and is not reliant on clients performing the initialisation of data structures managed by the script.
Closes#7143
This adds support to return the "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials" header
if needed, so CORS will work flawlessly with authenticated applications.
Closes#6380
