* Update remote cluster stats to support simple mode (#49961)
Remote cluster stats API currently only returns useful information if
the strategy in use is the SNIFF mode. This PR modifies the API to
provide relevant information if the user is in the SIMPLE mode. This
information is the configured addresses, max socket connections, and
open socket connections.
* Send hostname in SNI header in simple remote mode (#50247)
Currently an intermediate proxy must route conncctions to the
appropriate remote cluster when using simple mode. This commit offers
a additional mechanism for the proxy to route the connections by
including the hostname in the TLS SNI header.
* Rename the remote connection mode simple to proxy (#50291)
This commit renames the simple connection mode to the proxy connection
mode for remote cluster connections. In order to do this, the mode specific
settings which we namespaced by their mode (ex: sniff.seed and
proxy.addresses) have been reverted.
* Modify proxy mode to support a single address (#50391)
Currently, the remote proxy connection mode uses a list setting for the
proxy address. This commit modifies this so that the setting is
proxy_address and only supports a single remote proxy address.
Previously, cross-cluster replication (CCR) documentation was located in
the Stack Overview:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/master/xpack-ccr.html
This adds CCR documentation to the Elasticsearch Reference Guide with a
level offset for headings.
The level offset and CCR Stack Overview docs will be removed in later
commits.
We no longer need to mention soft deletes in the getting started guide
now that retention leases exist and default to 12h. This commit removes
mention of soft deletes from the getting started guide, to simplify that
content.
This is related to #35975. It adds documentation on the remote recovery
process. Additionally, it adds documentation about the various settings
that can impact the process.
This commit modifies the put follow index action to use a
CcrRepository when creating a follower index. It routes
the logic through the snapshot/restore process. A
wait_for_active_shards parameter can be used to configure
how long to wait before returning the response.
The "include_type_name" parameter was temporarily introduced in #37285 to facilitate
moving the default parameter setting to "false" in many places in the documentation
code snippets. Most of the places can simply be reverted without causing errors.
In this change I looked for asciidoc files that contained the
"include_type_name=true" addition when creating new indices but didn't look
likey they made use of the "_doc" type for mappings. This is mostly the case
e.g. in the analysis docs where index creating often only contains settings. I
manually corrected the use of types in some places where the docs still used an
explicit type name and not the dummy "_doc" type.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put mappings.
* Default include_type_name to false for get field mappings.
* Add a constant for the default include_type_name value.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put index templates.
* Default include_type_name to false for create index.
* Update create index calls in REST documentation to use include_type_name=true.
* Some minor clean-ups around the get index API.
* In REST tests, use include_type_name=true by default for index creation.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false'.
* Clarify the different IndexTemplateMetaData toXContent methods.
* Fix FullClusterRestartIT#testSnapshotRestore.
* Fix the ml_anomalies_default_mappings test.
* Fix GetFieldMappingsResponseTests and GetIndexTemplateResponseTests.
We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.
This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.
* Fix more REST tests.
* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.
* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.
* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.
* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false' in FullClusterRestartIT.
* Mention include_type_name in the REST templates docs.
This commit is our first introduction to cross-cluster replication
docs. In this commit, we introduce the cross-cluster replication API
docs. We also add skelton docs for additional content that will be added
in a series of follow-up commits.
