Previously these were only linked in a circuitous way rather than being
available from the top level API documentation and "Put Lifecycle" API docs.
This makes them slightly easier to find for a user.
RolloverStep previously had a name of "attempt_rollover", which was
inconsistent with all other step names due it its use of an underscore
instead of a dash.
The docs are not resilient to timing issues where the ILM metadata is not set on newly
created indices, so we shouldn't be so strict on the returned response
* [DOCS] ILM API Ref edits
* [DOCS] Fixed endpoint for DELETE policy.
* [DOCS] Removed comparison to setting index.lifecycle.name to null.
* [DOCS] Fixed xrefs to explain API.
The remove-ilm-from-index API was using the DELETE http method
to signify that something is being removed. Although, metadata
about ILM for the index is being deleted, no entity/resource
is being deleted during this operation. POST is more in line with
what this API is actually doing, it is modifying the metadata for
an index. As part of this change, `remove` is also appended to the path
to be more explicit about its actions.
This commit removes the Joda time usage from ILM and the HLRC components of ILM.
It also fixes an issue where using the `?human=true` flag could have caused the
parser not to work. These millisecond fields now follow the standard we use
elsewhere in the code, with additional fields added iff the `human` flag is
specified.
This is a breaking change for ILM, but since ILM has not yet been released, no
compatibility shim is needed.
This PR renames the CRUD APIS for ILM
GET _ilm/<policy>, _ilm -> _ilm/policy/<policy>, _ilm/policy
PUT _ilm/<policy> -> _ilm/policy/<policy>
DELETE _ilm/<policy> -> _ilm/policy/<policy>
