Before this commit he tests always run bin/plugin as root which is somewhat
unrealistic and causes trouble (log files owned by root instead of
elasticsearch). After this commit `bin/plugin` runs as root when elasticsearch
is installed via the repository and as elasticsearch otherwise which is much
more realistic.
This also adds extra timeout to starting elasticsearch which is required
when all the plugins are installed. And it fixes up a problem with logging
elasticsearch's log if elasticsearch doesn't start which came up multiple
time while debugging this problem.
Also adds docs recommending running `bin/plugin` as the user that owns the
Elasticsearch files or root if installed with the packages.
Closes#13557
At the moment, when installing from an url, a user provides the plugin name on
the command line like:
* bin/plugin install [plugin-name] --url [url]
This can lead to problems when picking an already existing name from another
plugin, and can potentially overwrite plugins already installed with that name.
This, this PR introduces a mandatory `name` property to the plugin descriptor
file which replaces the name formerly provided by the user.
With the addition of the `name` property to the plugin descriptor file, the user
does not need to specify the plugin name any longer when installing from a file
or url. Because of this, all arguments to `plugin install` command are now
either treated as a symbolic name, a URL or a file without the need to specify
this with an explicit option.
The new syntax for `plugin install` is now:
bin/plugin install [name or url]
* downloads official plugin
bin/plugin install analysis-kuromoji
* downloads github plugin
bin/plugin install lmenezes/elasticsearch-kopf
* install from URL or file
bin/plugin install http://link.to/foo.zip
bin/plugin install file:/path/to/foo.zip
If the argument does not parse to a valid URL, it is assumed to be a name and the
download location is resolved like before. Regardless of the source location of
the plugin, it is extracted to a temporary directory and the `name` property from
the descriptor file is used to determine the final install location.
