It seemed confusing for users that our top-level mapping page still had a
prominent section named 'Mapping Type'. This PR reworks the docs to remove this
reference and adds a note about types removal (similar to the note we added to
other APIs like put mapping).
This PR makes the following updates:
* Update the supported query types to include `prefix` and `wildcard`.
* Specify that queries accept index aliases.
* Clarify that when querying on a remote index name, the separator `:` must be
present.
Currently we allow `_field_names` fields to be disabled explicitely, but since
the overhead is negligible now we decided to keep it turned on by default and
deprecate the `enable` option on the field type. This change adds a deprecation
warning whenever this setting is used, going forward we want to ignore and finally
remove it.
Closes#27239
* 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.
* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
* [DOCS] Rewords _field_names documentation
Corrects the language around when we write to `_field_names` and when you might want to disable it given that n recent versions it does not carry the indexing overhead it once did.

* Update wording following review
This adds a new `_ignored` meta field which indexes and stores fields that have
been ignored at index time because of the `ignore_malformed` option. It makes
malformed documents easier to identify by using `exists` or `term(s)` queries
on the `_ignored` field.
Closes#29494
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.
Closes#27750Closes#27751
* Remove the _all metadata field
This change removes the `_all` metadata field. This field is deprecated in 6
and cannot be activated for indices created in 6 so it can be safely removed in
the next major version (e.g. 7).
This commit adds back "id" as the key within a script to specify a
stored script (which with file scripts now gone is no longer ambiguous).
It also adds "source" as a replacement for "code". This is in an attempt
to normalize how scripts are specified across both put stored scripts and script usages, including search template requests. This also deprecates the old inline/stored keys.
This change removes the `postings` highlighter. This highlighter has been removed from Lucene master (7.x) because it behaves
exactly like the `unified` highlighter when index_options is set to `offsets`:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7815
It also makes the `unified` highlighter the default choice for highlighting a field (if `type` is not provided).
The strategy used internally by this highlighter remain the same as before, it checks `term_vectors` first, then `postings` and ultimately it re-analyzes the text.
Ultimately it rewrites the docs so that the options that the `unified` highlighter cannot handle are clearly marked as such.
There are few features that the `unified` highlighter is not able to handle which is why the other highlighters (`plain` and `fvh`) are still available.
I'll open separate issues for these features and we'll deprecate the `fvh` and `plain` highlighters when full support for these features have been added to the `unified`.
Currently global ordinals are documented under `fielddata`. It moves them to
their own file since they also work with doc values and fielddata is on the way
out.
Closes#23101
Now that indices have a single type by default, we can move to the next step
and identify documents using their `_id` rather than the `_uid`.
One notable change in this commit is that I made deletions implicitly create
types. This helps with the live version map in the case that documents are
deleted before the first type is introduced. Otherwise there would be no way
to differenciate `DELETE index/foo/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1` from
`DELETE index/bar/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1`, even though those are
different if versioning is involved.
This adds the `index.mapping.single_type` setting, which enforces that indices
have at most one type when it is true. The default value is true for 6.0+ indices
and false for old indices.

Since `_all` is now deprecated and cannot be set for new indices, we should also
disallow any field that has the `include_in_all` parameter set.
Resolves#22923
This change makes it possible for custom routing values to go to a subset of shards rather than
just a single shard. This enables the ability to utilize the spatial locality that custom routing can
provide while mitigating the likelihood of ending up with an imbalanced cluster or suffering
from a hot shard.
This is ideal for large multi-tenant indices with custom routing that suffer from one or both of
the following:
- The big tenants cannot fit into a single shard or there is so many of them that they will likely
end up on the same shard
- Tenants often have a surge in write traffic and a single shard cannot process it fast enough
Beyond that, this should also be useful for use cases where most queries are done under the context
of a specific field (e.g. a category) since it gives a hint at how the data can be stored to minimize
the number of shards to check per query. While a similar solution can be achieved with multiple
concrete indices or aliases per value today, those approaches breakdown for high cardinality fields.
A partitioned index enforces that mappings have routing required, that the partition size does not
change when shrinking an index (the partitions will shrink proportionally), and rejects mappings
that have parent/child relationships.
Closes#21585
This change disables the _all meta field by default.
Now that we have the "all-fields" method of query execution, we can save both
indexing time and disk space by disabling it.
_all can no longer be configured for indices created after 6.0.
