Today when we load the Netty plugins, we indirectly cause several Netty
classes to initialize. This is because we attempt to load some classes
by name, and loading these classes is done in a way that triggers a long
chain of class initializers within Netty. We should not do this, this
can lead to log messages before the logger is loader, and it leads to
initialization in cases when the classes would never be needed (for
example, Netty 3 class initialization is never needed if Netty 4 is
used, and vice versa). This commit avoids this early initialization of
these classes by removing the need for the early loading.

The `client/transport` project adds a new jar build project that
pulls in all dependencies and configures all required modules.
Preinstalled modules are:
* transport-netty
* lang-mustache
* reindex
* percolator
The `TransportClient` classes are still in core
while `TransportClient.Builder` has only a protected construcutor
such that users are redirected to use the new `TransportClientBuilder`
from the new jar.
Closes#19412
This commit renames the Netty 3 transport module from transport-netty to
transport-netty3. This is to make room for a Netty 4 transport module,
transport-netty4.
Relates #19439
Today `node.mode` and `node.local` serve almost the same purpose, they
are a shortcut for `discovery.type` and `transport.type`. If `node.local: true`
or `node.mode: local` is set elasticsearch will start in _local_ mode which means
only nodes within the same JVM are discovered and a non-network based transport
is used. The _local_ mode it only really used in tests or if nodes are embedded.
For both, embedding and tests explicit configuration via `discovery.type` and `transport.type`
should be preferred.
This change removes all the usage of these settings and by-default doesn't
configure a default transport implemenation since netty is now a module. Yet, to make
the user expericence flawless, plugins or modules can set a `http.type.default` and
`transport.type.default`. Plugins set this via `PluginService#additionalSettings()`
which enforces _set-once_ which prevents node startup if set multiple times. This means
that our distributions will just startup with netty transport since it's packaged as a
module unless `transport.type` or `http.transport.type` is explicitly set.
This change also found a bunch of bugs since several NamedWriteables were not registered if a
transport client is used. Now that we don't rely on the `node.mode` leniency which is inherited
instead of using explicit settings, `TransportClient` uses `AssertingLocalTransport` which detects these problems since it serializes all messages.
Closes#16234
Some tests still start http implicitly or miss configuring the transport clients correctly.
This commit fixes all remaining tests and adds a depdenceny to `transport-netty` from
`qa/smoke-test-http` and `modules/reindex` since they need an http server running on the nodes.
This also moves all required permissions for netty into it's module and out of core.
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)
Relates #18198
This commit enableds strict settings validation on node startup. All settings
passed to elasticsearch either through system properties, yaml files or any other
way to pass settings must be registered and valid. Settings that are unknown ie. due to
typos or due to deprecation or removal will cause the node to NOT start up. Plugins
have to declare all their settings on the `SettingsModule#registerSetting` and settings for
plugins that are not installed must be removed.
This commit also removes the ability to specify the nodes name via `-Des.name` or just `name` in the
configuration files. The node name must be prefixed with the node prexif like `node.name: Boom`. Left over
usage of `name` will also cause startup to fail.
The rest test framework, because it used to be tightly integrated with
ESIntegTestCase, currently expects the addresses for the test cluster to
be passed using the transport protocol port. However, it only uses this
to then find the http address.
This change makes ESRestTestCase extend from ESTestCase instead of
ESIntegTestCase, and changes the sysprop used to tests.rest.cluster,
which now takes the http address.
closes#15459
This change removes hardcoded ports from cluster formation. It passes
port 0 for http and transport, and then uses a special property to have
the node log the ports used for http and transport (just for tests).
This does not yet work for multi node tests. This brings us one step
closer to working with --parallel.
This change removes the leftover pom files. A couple files were left for
reference, namely in qa tests that have not yet been migrated (vagrant
and multinode). The deb and rpm assemblies also still exist for
reference when finishing their setup in gradle.
See #13930
There are three ways `@Test` was used. Way one:
```java
@Test
public void flubTheBlort() {
```
This way was always replaced with:
```java
public void testFlubTheBlort() {
```
Or, maybe with a better method name if I was feeling generous.
Way two:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
methodThatThrows();
}
```
This way of using `@Test` is actually pretty OK, but to get the tools to ban
`@Test` entirely it can't be used. Instead:
```java
public void testFoo() {
try {
methodThatThrows();
fail("Expected IllegalArgumentException");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e ) {
assertThat(e.getMessage(), containsString("something"));
}
}
```
This is longer but tests more than the old ways and is much more precise.
Compare:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
some();
copy();
and();
pasted();
methodThatThrows();
code(); // <---- This was left here by mistake and is never called
}
```
to:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
some();
copy();
and();
pasted();
try {
methodThatThrows();
fail("Expected IllegalArgumentException");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e ) {
assertThat(e.getMessage(), containsString("something"));
}
}
```
The final use of test is:
```java
@Test(timeout=1000)
public void testFoo() {
methodThatWasSlow();
}
```
This is the most insidious use of `@Test` because its tempting but tragically
flawed. Its flaws are:
1. Hard and fast timeouts can look like they are asserting that something is
faster and even do an ok job of it when you compare the timings on the same
machine but as soon as you take them to another machine they start to be
invalid. On a slow VM both the new and old methods fail. On a super-fast
machine the slower and faster ways succeed.
2. Tests often contain slow `assert` calls so the performance of tests isn't
sure to predict the performance of non-test code.
3. These timeouts are rude to debuggers because the test just drops out from
under it after the timeout.
Confusingly, timeouts are useful in tests because it'd be rude for a broken
test to cause CI to abort the whole build after it hits a global timeout. But
those timeouts should be very very long "backstop" timeouts and aren't useful
assertions about speed.
For all its flaws `@Test(timeout=1000)` doesn't have a good replacement __in__
__tests__. Nightly benchmarks like http://benchmarks.elasticsearch.org/ are
useful here because they run on the same machine but they aren't quick to check
and it takes lots of time to figure out the regressions. Sometimes its useful
to compare dueling implementations but that requires keeping both
implementations around. All and all we don't have a satisfactory answer to the
question "what do you replace `@Test(timeout=1000)`" with. So we handle each
occurrence on a case by case basis.
For files with `@Test` this also:
1. Removes excess blank lines. They don't help anything.
2. Removes underscores from method names. Those would fail any code style
checks we ever care to run and don't add to readability. Since I did this manually
I didn't do it consistently.
3. Make sure all test method names start with `test`. Some used to end in `Test` or start
with `verify` or `check` and they were picked up using the annotation. Without the
annotation they always need to start with `test`.
4. Organizes imports using the rules we generate for Eclipse. For the most part
this just removes `*` imports which is a win all on its own. It was "required"
to quickly remove `@Test`.
5. Removes unneeded casts. This is just a setting I have enabled in Eclipse and
forgot to turn off before I did this work. It probably isn't hurting anything.
6. Removes trailing whitespace. Again, another Eclipse setting I forgot to turn
off that doesn't hurt anything. Hopefully.
7. Swaps some tests override superclass tests to make them empty with
`assumeTrue` so that the reasoning for the skips is logged in the test run and
it doesn't "look like" that thing is being tested when it isn't.
8. Adds an oxford comma to an error message.
The total test count doesn't change. I know. I counted.
```bash
git checkout master && mvn clean && mvn install | tee with_test
git no_test_annotation master && mvn clean && mvn install | tee not_test
grep 'Tests summary' with_test > with_test_summary
grep 'Tests summary' not_test > not_test_summary
diff with_test_summary not_test_summary
```
These differ somewhat because some tests are skipped based on the random seed.
The total shouldn't differ. But it does!
```
1c1
< [INFO] Tests summary: 564 suites (1 ignored), 3171 tests, 31 ignored (31 assumptions)
---
> [INFO] Tests summary: 564 suites (1 ignored), 3167 tests, 17 ignored (17 assumptions)
```
These are the core unit tests. So we dig further:
```bash
cat with_test | perl -pe 's/\n// if /^Suite/;s/.*\n// if /IGNOR/;s/.*\n// if /Assumption #/;s/.*\n// if /HEARTBEAT/;s/Completed .+?,//' | grep Suite > with_test_suites
cat not_test | perl -pe 's/\n// if /^Suite/;s/.*\n// if /IGNOR/;s/.*\n// if /Assumption #/;s/.*\n// if /HEARTBEAT/;s/Completed .+?,//' | grep Suite > not_test_suites
diff <(sort with_test_suites) <(sort not_test_suites)
```
The four tests with lower test numbers are all extend `AbstractQueryTestCase`
and all have a method that looks like this:
```java
@Override
public void testToQuery() throws IOException {
assumeTrue("test runs only when at least a type is registered", getCurrentTypes().length > 0);
super.testToQuery();
}
```
It looks like this method was being double counted on master and isn't anymore.
Closes#14028
As we log a lot, we hit a default limit:
```
The test or suite printed 9450 bytes to stdout and stderr, even though the limit was set to 8192 bytes. Increase the limit with @Limit, ignore it completely with @SuppressSysoutChecks or run with -Dtests.verbose=true
```
(cherry picked from commit 0cb325d)
This commit adds a new smoke test for testing client as a end Java user.
It starts a cluster in `pre-integration-test` phase, then execute the client operations defined as JUnit tests within `integration-test` phase and then stop the external cluster in `post-integration-test` phase.
You can also run test classes from your IDE.
* Start an external node on your machine with `bin/elasticsearch` (note that you can test Java API regressions if you run an older or newer node version)
* Run the JUnit test. By default, it will run tests on `localhost:9300` but you can change this setting using system property `tests.cluster`. It also expects the default `cluster.name` (`elasticsearch`).
This commit also starts adding [snippets as defined by Maven](https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-snippet-macro.html) to help keeping automatically synchronized the Java reference guide with the current code.
Our documentation builder tool does not support snippets though but we will most likely support it at some point.
