This change adds support for the 'include_type_name' parameter for the
indices.get API. This parameter, which defaults to `false` starting in 7.0,
changes the response to not include the indices type names any longer.
If the parameter is set in the request, we additionally emit a deprecation
warning since using the parameter should be only temporarily necessary while
adapting to the new response format and we will remove it with the next major
version.
* Enable parallel restore operations
* Add uuid to restore in progress entries to uniquely identify them
* Adjust restore in progress entries to be a map in cluster state
* Added tests for:
* Parallel restore from two different snapshots
* Parallel restore from a single snapshot to different indices to test uuid identifiers are correctly used by `RestoreService` and routing allocator
* Parallel restore with waiting for completion to test transport actions correctly use uuid identifiers
This commit adds deprecation warnings when using format specifiers with
joda data formats that will change with java time. It also adds the "8"
prefix which may be used to force the new java time format parsing.
This commit adds a rest endpoint for freezing and unfreezing an index.
Among other cleanups mainly fixing an issue accessing package private APIs
from a plugin that got caught by integration tests this change also adds
documentation for frozen indices.
Note: frozen indices are marked as `beta` and available as a basic feature.

Rollover should not swap aliases when `is_write_index` is set to `true`.
Instead, both the new and old indices should have the rollover alias,
with the newly created index as the new write index
Updates Rollover to leverage the ability to preserve aliases and swap which is the write index.
Historically, Rollover would swap which index had the designated alias for writing documents against. This required users to keep a separate read-alias that enabled reading against both rolled over and newly created indices, whiles the write-alias was being re-assigned at every rollover.
With the ability for aliases to designate a write index, Rollover can be a bit more flexible with its use of aliases.
Updates include:
- Rollover validates that the target alias has a write index (the index that is being rolled over). This means that the restriction that aliases only point to one index is no longer necessary.
- Rollover explicitly (and atomically) swaps which index is the write-index by explicitly assigning the existing index to have `is_write_index: false` and have the newly created index have its rollover alias as `is_write_index: true`. This is only done when `is_write_index: true` on the write index. Default behavior of removing the alias from the rolled over index stays when `is_write_index` is not explicitly set
Relevant things that are staying the same:
- Rollover is rejected if there exist any templates that match the newly-created index and configure the rollover-alias
- I think this existed to prevent the situation where an alias pointed to two indices for a short while. Although this can technically be relaxed, the specific cases that are safe are really particular and difficult to reason, so leaving the broad restriction sounds good

This commit adds the is-write-index flag for aliases.
It allows requests to set the flag, and responses to display the flag.
It does not validate and/or affect any indexing/getting/updating behavior
of Elasticsearch -- this will be done in a follow-up PR.
This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
We want copying settings to be the default behavior. This commit
deprecates not copying settings, and disallows explicitly not copying
settings. This gives users a transition path to the future default
behavior.
Today when an index is created from shrinking or splitting an existing
index, the target index inherits almost none of the source index
settings. This is surprising and a hassle for operators managing such
indices. Given this is the default behavior, we can not simply change
it. Instead, we start by introducing the ability to copy settings. This
flag can be set on the REST API or on the transport layer and it has the
behavior that it copies all settings from the source except non-copyable
settings (a property of a setting introduced in this
change). Additionally, settings on the request will always override.
This change is the first step in our adventure:
- this flag is added here in 7.0.0 and immediately deprecated
- this flag will be backported to 6.4.0 and remain deprecated
- then, we will remove the ability to set this flag to false in 7.0.0
- finally, in 8.0.0 we will remove this flag and the only behavior will
be for settings to be copied
Today when a resize operation is performed, we copy the analysis,
similarity, and sort settings from the source index. It is possible for
the resize request to include additional index settings including
analysis, similarity, and sort settings. We reject sort settings when
validating the request. However, we silently ignore analysis and
similarity settings on the request that are already set on the source
index. Since it is possible to change the analysis and similarity
settings on an existing index, this should be considered a bug and the
sort of leniency that we abhor. This commit addresses this bug by
allowing the request analysis/similarity settings to override the
existing analysis/similarity settings on the target.
This adds an `include_type_name` option to the `indices.create`,
`indices.get_mapping` and `indices.put_mapping` APIs, which defaults to `true`.
When set to `false`, then mappings will be returned directly in the body of
the `indices.get_mapping` API, without keying them by the type name, the
`indices.create` will expect mappings directly under the `mappings` key, and
the `indices.put_mapping` will use `_doc` as a type name and fail if a `type`
is provided explicitly.

As follow up to #28245 , this PR removes the logic for selecting the
right start commit from the Engine constructor in favor of explicitly
trimming them in the Store, before the engine is opened. This makes the
constructor in engine follow standard Lucene semantics and use the last
commit.

#28245 has introduced the utility class`EngineDiskUtils` with a set of methods to prepare/change
translog and lucene commit points. That util class bundled everything that's needed to create and
empty shard, bootstrap a shard from a lucene index that was just restored etc.
In order to safely do these manipulations, the util methods acquired the IndexWriter's lock. That
would sometime fail due to concurrent shard store fetching or other short activities that require the
files not to be changed while they read from them.
Since there is no way to wait on the index writer lock, the `Store` class has other locks to make
sure that once we try to acquire the IW lock, it will succeed. To side step this waiting problem, this
PR folds `EngineDiskUtils` into `Store`. Sadly this comes with a price - the store class doesn't and
shouldn't know about the translog. As such the logic is slightly less tight and callers have to do the
translog manipulations on their own.
This will reject mapping updates to the `_default_` mapping with 7.x indices
and still emit a deprecation warning with 6.x indices.

I have seen this question a couple times already, most recently at
https://twitter.com/dimosr7/status/973872744965332993
I tried to keep the explanation as simple as I could, which is not always easy
as this is a matter of trade-offs.
Currently we have a fairly complicated logic in the engine constructor logic to deal with all the
various ways we want to mutate the lucene index and translog we're opening.
We can:
1) Create an empty index
2) Use the lucene but create a new translog
3) Use both
4) Force a new history uuid in all cases.
This leads complicated code flows which makes it harder and harder to make sure we cover all the
corner cases. This PR tries to take another approach. Constructing an InternalEngine always opens
things as they are and all needed modifications are done by static methods directly on the
directory, one at a time.
The current docs on [Indices APIs: PUT Mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-put-mapping.html) suggests that a having number of different mapping types per index is still possible in elasticsearch versions > 6.0.0 although they have been [removed](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/removal-of-types.html). The console code has already been updated accordingly but notes (2) and (3) on the console code still name the `user` mapping type.
This PR updates the list with notes after the console code, as well as the first sentence of the docs
to avoid confusion. Also, I have removed the second command from the console code as it no
longer holds any value if the docs are solely on the `_doc` mapping.
Currently the Translog constructor is capable both of opening an existing translog and creating a
new one (deleting existing files). This PR separates these two into separate code paths. The
constructors opens files and a dedicated static methods creates an empty translog.
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.

Today we require users to prepare their indices for split operations.
Yet, we can do this automatically when an index is created which would
make the split feature a much more appealing option since it doesn't have
any 3rd party prerequisites anymore.
This change automatically sets the number of routinng shards such that
an index is guaranteed to be able to split once into twice as many shards.
The number of routing shards is scaled towards the default shard limit per index
such that indices with a smaller amount of shards can be split more often than
larger ones. For instance an index with 1 or 2 shards can be split 10x
(until it approaches 1024 shards) while an index created with 128 shards can only
be split 3x by a factor of 2. Please note this is just a default value and users
can still prepare their indices with `index.number_of_routing_shards` for custom
splitting.
NOTE: this change has an impact on the document distribution since we are changing
the hash space. Documents are still uniformly distributed across all shards but since
we are artificually changing the number of buckets in the consistent hashign space
document might be hashed into different shards compared to previous versions.
This is a 7.0 only change.
This change adds a new `_split` API that allows to split indices into a new
index with a power of two more shards that the source index. This API works
alongside the `_shrink` API but doesn't require any shard relocation before
indices can be split.
The split operation is conceptually an inverse `_shrink` operation since we
initialize the index with a _syntetic_ number of routing shards that are used
for the consistent hashing at index time. Compared to indices created with
earlier versions this might produce slightly different shard distributions but
has no impact on the per-index backwards compatibility. For now, the user is
required to prepare an index to be splittable by setting the
`index.number_of_routing_shards` at index creation time. The setting allows the
user to prepare the index to be splittable in factors of
`index.number_of_routing_shards` ie. if the index is created with
`index.number_of_routing_shards: 16` and `index.number_of_shards: 2` it can be
split into `4, 8, 16` shards. This is an intermediate step until we can make
this the default. This also allows us to safely backport this change to 6.x.
The `_split` operation is implemented internally as a DeleteByQuery on the
lucene level that is executed while the primary shards execute their initial
recovery. Subsequent merges that are triggered due to this operation will not be
executed immediately. All merges will be deferred unti the shards are started
and will then be throttled accordingly.
This change is intended for the 6.1 feature release but will not support pre-6.1
indices to be split unless these indices have been shrunk before. In that case
these indices can be split backwards into their original number of shards.
This commit reformats a paragraph in the template docs to fit in 80
columns as for the rest of the doc, and as-is a standard that we loosely
adhere to.
This commit clarifies the interaction between settings specified in a
create index request, and those that would come from any templates that
apply to the create index request.

Adds the wait_for_active_shards parameter to the index open command. Similar to the index creation command, the index open command will now, by default, wait until the primaries have been allocated.
Closes#20937
The new ops based recovery, introduce as part of #10708, is based on the assumption that all operations below the global checkpoint known to the replica do not need to be synced with the primary. This is based on the guarantee that all ops below it are available on primary and they are equal. Under normal operations this guarantee holds. Sadly, it can be violated when a primary is restored from an old snapshot. At the point the restore primary can miss operations below the replica's global checkpoint, or even worse may have total different operations at the same spot. This PR introduces the notion of a history uuid to be able to capture the difference with the restored primary (in a follow up PR).
The History UUID is generated by a primary when it is first created and is synced to the replicas which are recovered via a file based recovery. The PR adds a requirement to ops based recovery to make sure that the history uuid of the source and the target are equal. Under normal operations, all shard copies will stay with that history uuid for the rest of the index lifetime and thus this is a noop. However, it gives us a place to guarantee we fall back to file base syncing in special events like a restore from snapshot (to be done as a follow up) and when someone calls the truncate translog command which can go wrong when combined with primary recovery (this is done in this PR).
We considered in the past to use the translog uuid for this function (i.e., sync it across copies) and thus avoid adding an extra identifier. This idea was rejected as it removes the ability to verify that a specific translog really belongs to a specific lucene index. We also feel that having a history uuid will serve us well in the future.
