With #19140 we started persisting the node ID across node restarts. Now that we have a "stable" anchor, we can use it to generate a stable default node name and make it easier to track nodes over a restarts. Sadly, this means we will not have those random fun Marvel characters but we feel this is the right tradeoff.
On the implementation side, this requires a bit of juggling because we now need to read the node id from disk before we can log as the node node is part of each log message. The PR move the initialization of NodeEnvironment as high up in the starting sequence as possible, with only one logging message before it to indicate we are initializing. Things look now like this:
```

Needless to say, settings `node.name` explicitly still works as before.
The commit also contains some clean ups to the relationship between Environment, Settings and Plugins. The previous code suggested the path related settings could be changed after the initial Environment was changed. This did not have any effect as the security manager already locked things down.

Remove `ParseField` constants used for names where there are no deprecated
names and just use the `String` version of the registration method instead.
This is step 2 in cleaning up the plugin interface for extending
search time actions. Aggregations are next.
This is breaking for plugins because those that register a new query should
now implement `SearchPlugin` rather than `onModule(SearchModule)`.
* Removed `Template` class and unified script & template parsing logic. Templates are scripts, so they should be defined as a script. Unless there will be separate template infrastructure, templates should share as much code as possible with scripts.
* Removed ScriptParseException in favour for ElasticsearchParseException
* Moved TemplateQueryBuilder to lang-mustache module because this query is hard coded to work with mustache only
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

Switches most search behavior extensions from push (`onModule(SearchModule)`)
to pull (`implements SearchPlugin`). This effort in general gives plugin
authors a much cleaner view of how to extend Elasticsearch and starts to
set up portions of Elasticsearch as "the plugin API". This commit in
particular does that for search-time behavior like customized suggesters,
highlighters, score functions, and significance heuristics.
It also switches most such customization to being done at search module
construction time which is much, much easier to reason about from a testing
perspective. It also helps significantly in the process of de-guice-ing
Elasticsearch's startup.
There are at least two major search time extensions that aren't covered in
this commit that will simply have to wait for the next commit on the topic
because this one has already grown large: custom aggregations and custom
queries. These will likely live in the same SearchPlugin interface as well.
If there are percolator queries containing `range` queries with ranges based on the current time then this can lead to incorrect results if the `percolate` query gets cached. These ranges are changing each time the `percolate` query gets executed and if this query gets cached then the results will be based on how the range was at the time when the `percolate` query got cached.
The ExtractQueryTermsService has been renamed `QueryAnalyzer` and now only deals with analyzing the query (extracting terms and deciding if the entire query is a verified match) . The `PercolatorFieldMapper` is responsible for adding the right fields based on the analysis the `QueryAnalyzer` has performed, because this is highly dependent on the field mappings. Also the `PercolatorFieldMapper` is responsible for creating the percolate query.
Today when a thread encounters a fatal unrecoverable error that
threatens the stability of the JVM, Elasticsearch marches on. This
includes out of memory errors, stack overflow errors and other errors
that leave the JVM in a questionable state. Instead, the Elasticsearch
JVM should die when these errors are encountered. This commit causes
this to be the case.

This change activates the doc_values on the _size field for indices created after 5.0.0-alpha4.
It also adds a note in the breaking changes that explain the situation and how to get around it.
Closes#18334
Node IDs are currently randomly generated during node startup. That means they change every time the node is restarted. While this doesn't matter for ES proper, it makes it hard for external services to track nodes. Another, more minor, side effect is that indexing the output of, say, the node stats API results in creating new fields due to node ID being used as keys.
The first approach I considered was to use the node's published address as the base for the id. We already [treat nodes with the same address as the same](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/discovery/zen/NodeJoinController.java#L387) so this is a simple change (see [here](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/compare/master...bleskes:node_persistent_id_based_on_address)). While this is simple and it works for probably most cases, it is not perfect. For example, if after a node restart, the node is not able to bind to the same port (because it's not yet freed by the OS), it will cause the node to still change identity. Also in environments where the host IP can change due to a host restart, identity will not be the same.
Due to those limitation, I opted to go with a different approach where the node id will be persisted in the node's data folder. This has the upside of connecting the id to the nodes data. It also means that the host can be adapted in any way (replace network cards, attach storage to a new VM). I
It does however also have downsides - we now run the risk of two nodes having the same id, if someone copies clones a data folder from one node to another. To mitigate this I changed the semantics of the protection against multiple nodes with the same address to be stricter - it will now reject the incoming join if a node exists with the same id but a different address. Note that if the existing node doesn't respond to pings (i.e., it's not alive) it will be removed and the new node will be accepted when it tries another join.
Last, and most importantly, this change requires that *all* nodes persist data to disk. This is a change from current behavior where only data & master nodes store local files. This is the main reason for marking this PR as breaking.
Other less important notes:
- DummyTransportAddress is removed as we need a unique network address per node. Use `LocalTransportAddress.buildUnique()` instead.
- I renamed `node.add_lid_to_custom_path` to `node.add_lock_id_to_custom_path` to avoid confusion with the node ID which is now part of the `NodeEnvironment` logic.
- I removed the `version` paramater from `MetaDataStateFormat#write` , it wasn't really used and was just in the way :)
- TribeNodes are special in the sense that they do start multiple sub-nodes (previously known as client nodes). Those sub-nodes do not store local files but derive their ID from the parent node id, so they are generated consistently.
Rename `fields` to `stored_fields` and add `docvalue_fields`
`stored_fields` parameter will no longer try to retrieve fields from the _source but will only return stored fields.
`fields` will throw an exception if the user uses it.
Add `docvalue_fields` as an adjunct to `fielddata_fields` which is deprecated. `docvalue_fields` will try to load the value from the docvalue and fallback to fielddata cache if docvalues are not enabled on that field.

As discussed at https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-azure/issues/91#issuecomment-229113595, we know that the current `discovery-azure` plugin only works with Azure Classic VMs / Services (which is somehow Legacy now).
The proposal here is to rename `discovery-azure` to `discovery-azure-classic` in case some users are using it.
And deprecate it for 5.0.
Closes#19144.
`RestHandler`s are highly tied to actions so registering them in the
same place makes sense.
Removes the need to for plugins to check if they are in transport client
mode before registering a RestHandler - `getRestHandlers` isn't called
at all in transport client mode.
This caused guice to throw a massive fit about the circular dependency
between NodeClient and the allocation deciders. I broke the circular
dependency by registering the actions map with the node client after
instantiation.
Instead of implementing onModule(ActionModule) to register actions,
this has plugins implement ActionPlugin to declare actions. This is
yet another step in cleaning up the plugin infrastructure.
While I was in there I switched AutoCreateIndex and DestructiveOperations
to be eagerly constructed which makes them easier to use when
de-guice-ing the code base.
This commit modifies TimeValue parsing to keep the input time unit. This
enables round-trip parsing from instances of String to instances of
TimeValue and vice-versa. With this, this commit removes support for the
unit "w" representing weeks, and also removes support for fractional
values of units (e.g., 0.5s).
Relates #19102
Instead of plugins calling `registerTokenizer` to extend the analyzer
they now instead have to implement `AnalysisPlugin` and override
`getTokenizer`. This lines up extending plugins in with extending
scripts. This allows `AnalysisModule` to construct the `AnalysisRegistry`
immediately as part of its constructor which makes testing anslysis
much simpler.
This also moves the default analysis configuration into `AnalysisModule`
which is how search is setup.
Like `ScriptModule`, `AnalysisModule` no longer extends `AbstractModule`.
Instead it is only responsible for building `AnslysisRegistry`. We still
bind `AnalysisRegistry` but we only do so in `Node`. This is means it
is available at module construction time so we slowly remove the need to
bind it in guice.
This commit moves template support out of the Search API to its own dedicated Search Template API in the lang-mustache module. It provides a new SearchTemplateAction that can be used to render templates before it gets delegated to the usual Search API. The current REST endpoint are identical, but the Render Search Template endpoint now uses the same Search Template API with a new "simulate" option. When this option is enabled, the Search Template API only renders template and returns immediatly, without executing the search.

The default similarity was set to `classic` which refers to TFIDF and has not been moved after the upgrade to Lucene 6.
Though moving to BM25 could have some downside for queries that relies on coordination factor (match_query, multi_match_query) ?

This commit adds a note to the breaking changes docs that since commit
da74323141, thread pool settings are no
longer cluster-level settings and thus not dynamically updatable.
The search preference _prefer_node allows specifying a single node to
prefer when routing a request. This functionality can be enhanced by
permitting multiple nodes to be preferred. This commit replaces the
search preference _prefer_node with the search preference _prefer_nodes
which supplants the former by specifying a single node and otherwise
adds functionality.

Previously Elasticsearch used $DATA_DIR/$CLUSTER_NAME/nodes for the path
where data is stored, this commit changes that to be $DATA_DIR/nodes.
On startup, if the old folder structure is detected it will be used.
This behavior will be removed in Elasticsearch 6.0
Resolves#17810
This commit refactors the handling of thread pool settings so that the
individual settings can be registered rather than registering the top
level group. With this refactoring, individual plugins must now register
their own settings for custom thread pools that they need, but a
dedicated API is provided for this in the thread pool module. This
commit also renames the prefix on the thread pool settings from
"threadpool" to "thread_pool". This enables a hard break on the settings
so that:
- some of the settings can be given more sensible names (e.g., the max
number of threads in a scaling thread pool is now named "max" instead
of "size")
- change the soft limit on the number of threads in the bulk and
indexing thread pools to a hard limit
- the settings names for custom plugins for thread pools can be
prefixed (e.g., "xpack.watcher.thread_pool.size")
- remove dynamic thread pool settings
