Today if system call filters fail to install on startup, we log a
message but otherwise march on. This might leave users without system
call filters installed not knowing that they have implicitly accepted
the additional risk. We should not be lenient like this, instead clearly
informing the user that they have to either fix their configuration or
accept the risk of not having system call filters installed. This commit
adds a bootstrap check that if system call filters are enabled, they
must successfully install.

The reference for the jvm.options docs recently changed from
es-java-opts to jvm-options. This commit fixes a broken reference that
arose as a result of this change.
Elasticsearch can be run in a few different ways:
- from the command line on Linux and Windows
- as a service on Linux and Windows
on both 32-bit client and 64-bit server VMs. We strive for a great
out-of-the-box experience any of these combinations but today it is
lacking on 32-bit client JVMs and on the Windows service. There are two
deficiencies that arise:
- on any 32-bit client JVM we fail to start out of the box because we
force the server JVM in jvm.options
- when installing the Windows service, the thread stack size must be
specified in jvm.options
This commit attempts to address these deficiencies.
We should continue to force the server JVM because there are systems
where the server JVM is not active by default (e.g., the 32-bit JDK on
Windows). This does mean that if a user tries to run with a client JVM
they will see a failure message at startup but this is the best that we
can do if we want to continue to force the server JVM. Thus, this commit
at least documents this situation.
To improve the situation with installing the Windows service, this
commit adds a default setting for the thread stack size. This default is
chosen based on the default thread stack size across all 64-bit server
JVMs. This means that if a user tries to run with a 32-bit JVM they
could otherwise see significantly higher memory usage (this situation is
complicated, it's really only on Windows where the extra memory usage is
egregious, but cutting into the 32-bit address space on any system is
bad). So this commit makes it so that the out-of-the-box experience is
improved for the Windows service on 64-bit server JVMs and we document
the need to adjust this setting on 32-bit JVMs.
Again, we are focusing on the out-of-the-box experience here and this
means optimizing for the best experience on any 64-bit server JVM as
this covers the vast majority of the user base. The users that are on
32-bit JVMs will suffer a little bit but at least now any user on any
64-bit server JVM can start Elasticsearch out of the box.
Finally, we fix some references to the jvm.options documentation.

During package install on systemd-based systems, we try to set
vm.max_map_count. On some systems (e.g., containers), users do not have
the ability to tune these parameters from within the container. This
commit provides an option for these users to skip setting such kernel
parameters.

We log deprecation events at "WARN", so setting it to `info` means the events
are still logged. It must be set to `error` in order to disable the logging.
The important settings docs previously referred to a section regarding
the node.max_local_storage_nodes setting. This section was removed, but
the link was not. This commit removes that link.
Previously node.max_local_storage_nodes defaulted to fifty, and this
permitted users to start multiple instances of Elasticsearch sharing the
same data folder. This can be dangerous, and usually it does not make
sense to run more than one instance of Elasticsearch on a single
server. Because of this, we had a note in the important settings docs
advising users to set this setting to one. However, we have since
changed the default value of this setting to one so this advise is no
longer needed.

On Windows the JDK uses `CreateFileW` which has a stupidly high
limit for the number of `Handle`s it can make - `16 * 1024 * 1024`.
So this isn't really a problem on Windows at all.
Closes#20732
This commit fixes the documentation for configuring the Java I/O temp
dir which incorrectly suggested using the -D flag as a parameter on the
command line; these flags have been removed and should now be specified
as arguments to the JVM using either the ES_JAVA_OPTS environment
variable or using the jvm.options configuration file.
Closes#20652
With the unified release process across the elastic stack, download
links for all products are changing. This change updates docs referring
to the old download and packages urls.
Note that this change also updates the plugin installation command as
the url for downloads is being changed to be consistent with that for
packages (both plural).
The serial collector is not suitable for running with a server
application like Elasticsearch and can decimate performance and lead to
cluster instability. This commit adds a bootstrap check to prevent usage
of the serial collector when Elasticsearch is running in production
mode.

Funny node names have been removed in #19456 and replaced by UUID. This commit removes these obsolete node names and replace them by real UUIDs in the documentation.

In 7560101ec7, the Elasticsearch logger
names were modified to be their fully-qualified class name (with some
exceptions for special loggers like the slow logs and the transport
tracer). This commit updates the docs accordingly.

This commit adds a -q/--quiet option to Elasticsearch so that it does not log anything in the console and closes stdout & stderr streams. This is useful for SystemD to avoid duplicate logs in both journalctl and /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log while still allows the JVM to print error messages in stdout/stderr if needed.
closes#17220
and be much more stingy about what we consider a console candidate.
* Add `// CONSOLE` to check-running
* Fix version in some snippets
* Mark groovy snippets as groovy
* Fix versions in plugins
* Fix language marker errors
* Fix language parsing in snippets
This adds support for snippets who's language is written like
`[source, txt]` and `["source","js",subs="attributes,callouts"]`.
This also makes language required for snippets which is nice because
then we can be sure we can grep for snippets in a particular language.
This commit configures the deprecation logs to be size-limited to 1 GB,
and compress these logs when they roll. The default configuration will
preserve up to four rolled logs.

The deprecation logger is an important way to make visible features of
Elasticsearch that are deprecated. Yet, the default logging makes the
log messages for the deprecation logger invisible. We want these log
messages to be visible, so the default logging for the deprecation
logger should enable these log messages. This commit changes the log
level of deprecation log message to warn, and configures the deprecation
logger so that these log messages are visible out of the box.

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.
