We now have a very useful annotation to mark features or parameters as
experimental. Let's use it! This commit replaces some custom text warnings with
this annotation and adds this annotation to some existing features/parameters:
- inner_hits (unreleased yet)
- terminate_after (released in 1.4)
- per-bucket doc count errors in the terms agg (released in 1.4)
I also tagged with this annotation settings which should either be not needed
(like the ability to evict entries from the filter cache based on time) or that
are too deep into the way that Elasticsearch works like the Directory
implementation or merge settings.
Close#9563
The `full` option and `FlushType.NEW_WRITER` only exists to allow
realtime changes to two settings (`index.codec` and `index.concurrency`).
Those settings are very expert and don't really need to be updateable
in realtime.
This adds a new boolean (index.merge.scheduler.auto_throttle) dynamic
setting, default true (matching Lucene), to adaptively set the IO rate
limit for merges over time.
This is more flexible than the previous fixed rate throttling because
it responds depending on the incoming merge rate, so search-heavy
applications that are not doing much indexing will see merges heavily
throttled while indexing-heavy cases will lighten the throttle so
merges can keep up within incoming indexing.
The fixed rate throttling is still available as a fallback if things
go horribly wrong.

additional element per segment.
This commit adds a verbose flag to the _segments api. Currently the
only additional information returned when set to true is the full
ram tree from lucene for each segment.
make the "es090" postings format read-only, just to support old segments. There is a test version that subclasses it with write-capability for testing.
Closes#8571
Fixes a bug where alias creation would allow `null` for index name, which thereby
applied the alias to _all_ indices. This patch makes the validator throw an
exception if the index is null.
```bash
POST /_aliases
{
"actions": [
{
"add": {
"alias": "empty-alias",
"index": null
}
}
]
}
```
```json
{
"error": "ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: Alias action [add]: [index] may not be null;]",
"status": 400
}
```
The reason this bug wasn't caught by the existing tests is because
the old test for nullness only validated against a cluster which had
zero indices. The null index is translated into "_all", and since
there are no indices, this fails because the index doesn't exist.
So the test passes.
However, as soon as you add an index, "_all" resolves and you get the
situation described in the original bug report: null index is
accepted by the alias, resolves to "_all" and gets applied to everything.
The REST tests, otoh, explicitly tested this bug as a real feature and therefore
passed. The REST tests were modified to change this behavior.
Fixes#7863
This commit adds the ability to enable / disable relocations
on an entire cluster or on individual indices for either:
* `primaries` - only primaries can rebalance
* `replica` - only replicas can rebalance
* `all` - everything can rebalance (default)
* `none` - all rebalances are disabled
similar to the allocation enable / disable functionality.

This commit does the following:
* Add the new API at the rest layer, being backed by the optimize API
with upgrade flag, and segments api to find upgrade status.
* Add `upgrade` flag to optimize API, and deprecate `force` flag (will
remove in master)
* Add test for both synchronous and async upgrade

Returns information about settings, aliases, warmers, and mappings. Basically returns the IndexMetadata. This new endpoint replaces the /{index}/_alias|_aliases|_mapping|_mappings|_settings|_warmer|_warmers and /_alias|_aliases|_mapping|_mappings|_settings|_warmer|_warmers endpoints whilst maintaining the same response formats. The only exception to this is on the /_alias|_aliases|_warmer|_warmers endpoint which will now return a section for 'aliases' or 'warmers' even if no aliases or warmers exist. This backwards compatibility change is documented in the reference docs.
Closes#4069
This change stores the index creation time in the index metadata when an index is created. The creation time cannot be changed but can be set as part of the create index request to allow for correct creation times for historical data.
Closes#7119
This documentation was dangerous because it felt like it was possible to gain
substantial performance by just switching the codec of the index.
However, non-default codecs are dangerous to use since they are not supported
in terms of backward compatibility, and most improvements that they bring have
been folded into the default codec anyway (for example, the default codec
"pulses" postings lists that contain a single document).
This commit adds the ability to force blocking on the flush operaition
to make sure all files have been written and synced to disk. Without
this option a flush might be executing at the same time causing the
current flush to fail and return before all files being synced.
Closes#6996
Previously if the user provided a non-conforming string, it would blow up with
`java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1`
which is not a *helpful* error message.
Also updated the documentation to make the possible setting values more clear.
Close#5752
This is an update for the _cat/recovery API documentation. The examples
have been updated. Removed the bottom paragraph explaining why there
could be values > 100%. This can no longer happen so that had to be
removed.
Closes#6159
The possibility of filtering for index templates in the cluster state API
had been introduced before there was a dedicated index templates API. This
commit removes this support from the cluster state API, as it was not really
clean, requiring you to specify the metadata and the index templates.
Closes#4954
Add an API endpoint at /_bench for submitting, listing, and aborting
search benchmarks. This API can be used for timing search requests,
subject to various user-defined settings.
Benchmark results provide summary and detailed statistics on such
values as min, max, and mean time. Values are reported per-node so that
it is easy to spot outliers. Slow requests are also reported.
Long running benchmarks can be viewed with a GET request, or aborted
with a POST request.
Benchmark results are optionally stored in an index for subsequent
analysis.
Closes#5407
Adds a new API endpoint at /_recovery as well as to the Java API. The
recovery API allows one to see the recovery status of all shards in the
cluster. It will report on percent complete, recovery type, and which
files are copied.
Closes#4637
