DocumentMapperParser has both parse and parseCompressed methods. Except that the
parse methods are ONLY used from the unit tests. This commit removes the parse
method and moves all tests to parseCompressed so that they test more
realistically how mappings are managed.
Then I renamed parseCompressed to parse given that this is the only alternative
anyway.
This change adds a Fixture class for use by gradle. A Fixture is an
external process that integration tests will use. It can be added as a
dependsOn for integTest, and will automatically be shutdown upon success
or failure, as well as relevant information dumped on failure. There is
also an example fixture in this change.
We have the Text API, which is essentially a wrapper around a String and a
BytesReference and then we have 3 implementations depending on whether the
String view should be cached, the BytesReference view should be cached, or both
should be cached.
This commit merges everything into a single Text that is essentially the old
StringAndBytesText impl.
Long term we should look into whether this API has any performance benefit or
if we could just use plain strings. This would greatly simplify all our other
APIs that currently use Text.
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.
When creating a metadata mapper for a new type, we reuse an existing
configuration from an existing type (if any) in order to avoid introducing
conflicts. However this field type that is provided is considered as both an
initial configuration and the default configuration. So at serialization time,
we might only serialize the difference between the current configuration and
this default configuration, which might be different to what is actually
considered the default configuration.
This does not cause bugs today because metadata mappers usually override the
toXContent method and compare the current field type with Defaults.FIELD_TYPE
instead of defaultFieldType() but I would still like to do this change to
avoid future bugs.
