This is a tentative to revive #15939 motivated by elastic/beats#1941.
Half-floats are a pretty bad option for storing percentages. They would likely
require 2 bytes all the time while they don't need more than one byte.
So this PR exposes a new `scaled_float` type that requires a `scaling_factor`
and internally indexes `value*scaling_factor` in a long field. Compared to the
original PR it exposes a lower-level API so that the trade-offs are clearer and
avoids any reference to fixed precision that might imply that this type is more
accurate (actually it is *less* accurate).
In addition to being more space-efficient for some use-cases that beats is
interested in, this is also faster that `half_float` unless we can improve the
efficiency of decoding half-float bits (which is currently done using software)
or until Java gets first-class support for half-floats.
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.
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.
Closes#18943

They have been implemented in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7289.
Ranges are implemented so that the accuracy loss only occurs at index time,
which means that if you are searching for values between A and B, the query will
match exactly all documents whose value rounded to the closest half-float point
is between A and B.
`doc_values` for _type field are created but any attempt to load them throws an IAE.
This PR re-enables `doc_values` loading for _type, it also enables `fielddata` loading for indices created between 2.0 and 2.1 since doc_values were disabled during that period.
It also restores the old docs that gives example on how to sort or aggregate on _type field.
Remove the arbitrary limit on epoch_millis and epoch_seconds of 13 and 10
characters, respectively. Instead allow any character combination that can
be converted to a Java Long.
Update the docs to reflect this change.
* Docs: First pass at improving analyzer docs
I've rewritten the intro to analyzers plus the docs
for all analyzers to provide working examples.
I've also removed:
* analyzer aliases (see #18244)
* analyzer versions (see #18267)
* snowball analyzer (see #8690)
Next steps will be tokenizers, token filters, char filters
* Fixed two typos
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
* Added an extra `field` parameter to the `percolator` query to indicate what percolator field should be used. This must be an existing field in the mapping of type `percolator`.
* The `.percolator` type is now forbidden. (just like any type that starts with a `.`)
This only applies for new indices created on 5.0 and later. Indices created on previous versions the .percolator type is still allowed to exist.
The new `percolator` field type isn't active in such indices and the `PercolatorQueryCache` knows how to load queries from these legacy indices.
The `PercolatorQueryBuilder` will not enforce that the `field` parameter is of type `percolator`.
This makes all numeric fields including `date`, `ip` and `token_count` use
points instead of the inverted index as a lookup structure. This is expected
to perform worse for exact queries, but faster for range queries. It also
requires less storage.
Notes about how the change works:
- Numeric mappers have been split into a legacy version that is essentially
the current mapper, and a new version that uses points, eg.
LegacyDateFieldMapper and DateFieldMapper.
- Since new and old fields have the same names, the decision about which one
to use is made based on the index creation version.
- If you try to force using a legacy field on a new index or a field that uses
points on an old index, you will get an exception.
- IP addresses now support IPv6 via Lucene's InetAddressPoint and store them
in SORTED_SET doc values using the same encoding (fixed length of 16 bytes
and sortable).
- The internal MappedFieldType that is stored by the new mappers does not have
any of the points-related properties set. Instead, it keeps setting the index
options when parsing the `index` property of mappings and does
`if (fieldType.indexOptions() != IndexOptions.NONE) { // add point field }`
when parsing documents.
Known issues that won't fix:
- You can't use numeric fields in significant terms aggregations anymore since
this requires document frequencies, which points do not record.
- Term queries on numeric fields will now return constant scores instead of
giving better scores to the rare values.
Known issues that we could work around (in follow-up PRs, this one is too large
already):
- Range queries on `ip` addresses only work if both the lower and upper bounds
are inclusive (exclusive bounds are not exposed in Lucene). We could either
decide to implement it, or drop range support entirely and tell users to
query subnets using the CIDR notation instead.
- Since IP addresses now use a different representation for doc values,
aggregations will fail when running a terms aggregation on an ip field on a
list of indices that contains both pre-5.0 and 5.0 indices.
- The ip range aggregation does not work on the new ip field. We need to either
implement range aggs for SORTED_SET doc values or drop support for ip ranges
and tell users to use filters instead. #17700Closes#16751Closes#17007Closes#11513
The doc mentions match_path in one place but the correct syntax is path_match which is mentioned everywhere else. Using the wrong string leads to errors because the mapping becomes too greedy, and matches things it shouldn't.
This is to prevent mapping explosion when dynamic keys such as UUID are used as field names. index.mapping.total_fields.limit specifies the total number of fields an index can have. An exception will be thrown when the limit is reached. The default limit is 1000. Value 0 means no limit. This setting is runtime adjustable
Closes#11443
This commit updates the documentation for GeoPointField by removing all references to the coerce and doc_values parameters. DocValues are enabled in lucene GeoPointField by default (required for boundary filtering). The QueryBuilders are updated to automatically normalize points (ignoring the coerce parameter) for any index created onOrAfter version 2.2.
Warmers are now barely useful and will be removed in 3.0. Note that this only
removes the warmer API and query-based warmers. We still have warmers internally
for eg. global ordinals.

This commit adds the following:
* SpatialStrategy documentation to the geo-shape reference docs.
* Updates relation documentation to geo-shape-query reference docs.
* Updates GeoShapeFiledMapper to set points_only to true if TERM strategy is used (to be consistent with documentation)
Some users may already be familiar with column stores, so saying more explicitly
that doc values are a columnar representation of the data may help them better
and/or more quickly understand what doc values are about.
detect_noop is pretty cheap and noop updates compartively expensive so this
feels like a sensible default.
Also had to do some testing and documentation around how _ttl works with
detect_noop.
Closes#11282
This is much more fiddly than you'd expect it to be because of the way
position_offset_gap is applied in StringFieldMapper. Instead of setting
the default to 100 its simpler to make sure that all the analyzers default
to 100 and that StringFieldMapper doesn't override the default unless the
user specifies something different. Unless the index was created before
2.1, in which case the old default of 0 has to take.
Also postition_offset_gaps less than 0 aren't allowed at all.
New tests test that:
1. the new default doesn't match phrases across values with reasonably low
slop (5)
2. the new default doest match phrases across values with reasonably high
slop (50)
3. you can override the value and phrases work as you'd expect
4. if you leave the value undefined in the mapping and define it on a
custom analyzer the the value from the custom analyzer shines through
Closes#7268
This move the `murmur3` field to the `mapper-murmur3` plugin and fixes its
defaults so that values will not be indexed by default, as the only purpose
of this field is to speed up `cardinality` aggregations on high-cardinality
string fields, which only requires doc values.
I also removed the `rehash` option from the `cardinality` aggregation as it
doesn't bring much value (rehashing is cheap) and allowed to remove the
coupling between the `cardinality` aggregation and the `murmur3` field.

ignore_above is used to guard against the lucene limitation
that a term cannot exceed 32766 bytes.
However, the implementation just used the character count, which
doesn't take into account the fact that some characters have
multi-byte utf-8 encodings.
This commit updates the docs to make this relationship clear.

If you are using the default date or the named identifiers of dates,
the current implementation was allowed to read a year with only one
digit. In order to make this more strict, this fixes a year to be at
least 4 digits. Same applies for month, day, hour, minute, seconds.
Also the new default is `strictDateOptionalTime` for indices created
with Elasticsearch 2.0 or newer.
In addition a couple of not exposed date formats have been exposed, as they
have been mentioned in the documentation.
Closes#6158
The work around for resolving `now` doesn't need to be used for aliases, becuase alias filters are parsed at search time. However it can't be removed, because the percolator relies on it.
Parent/child can be specified again in alias filters, this now works again because alias filters are parsed at search time. Parent/child will also use the late query parse work around, to make sure to do the final preparations when the search context is around. This allows the aliases api to validate the parent/child queries without failing because there is no search context.
Closes#10485
In order to be backwards compatible, indices created before 2.x must support
indexing of a unix timestamp and its configured date format. Indices created
with 2.x must configure the `epoch_millis` date formatter in order to
support this.
Relates #10971
This is a follow up to #8143 and #6730 for _timestamp. It removes
support for `path`, as well as any field type settings, and
enables docvalues for _timestamp, for 2.0. Users who need to
adjust these settings can use a date field.
This fixes an issue to allow for negative unix timestamps.
An own printer for epochs instead of just having a parser has been added.
Added docs that only 10/13 length unix timestamps are supported
Added docs in upgrade documentation
Fixes#11478
This commit changes the date handling. First and foremost Elasticsearch
does not try to convert every date to a unix timestamp first and then
uses the configured date. This now allows for dates like `2015121212` to
be parsed correctly.
Instead it is now explicit by adding a `epoch_second` and `epoch_millis`
date format. This also means, that the default date format now is
`epoch_millis||dateOptionalTime` to remain backwards compatible.
Closes#5328

* Cut the `has_child` and `has_parent` queries over to use Lucene's query time global ordinal join. The main benefit of this change is that parent/child queries can now efficiently execute if parent/child queries are wrapped in a bigger boolean query. If the rest of the query only hit a few documents both has_child and has_parent queries don't need to evaluate all parent or child documents any more.
* Cut the `_parent` field over to use doc values. This significantly reduces the on heap memory footprint of parent/child, because the parent id values are never loaded into memory.
Breaking changes:
* The `type` option on the `_parent` field can only point to a parent type that doesn't exist yet, so this means that an existing type/mapping can't become a parent type any longer.
* The `has_child` and `has_parent` queries can no longer be use in alias filters.
All these changes, improvements and breaks in compatibility only apply for indices created with ES version 2.0 or higher. For indices creates with ES <= 2.0 the older implementation is used.
It is highly recommended to re-index all your indices with parent and child documents to benefit from all the improvements that come with this refactoring. The easiest way to achieve this is by using the scan and bulk apis using a simple script.
Closes#6107Closes#8134
This change unifies the way scripts and templates are specified for all instances in the codebase. It builds on the Script class added previously and adds request building and parsing support as well as the ability to transfer script objects between nodes.

This option is broken currently since it potentially interprets an incoming
binary value as compressed while it just happens that the first bytes are the
same as the LZF header.

QueryParser abstraction. This allowed to remove duplicate code that we had
for similar queries/filters such as `range`, `prefix` or `term`.

Regardless of the outcome of #8142, we should at least enforce that

If a user explicitly defined the tree_level or precision parameter in a geo_shape mapping their specification was always overridden by the default_error_pct parameter (even though our docs say this parameter is a 'hint'). This lead to unexpected accuracy problems in the results of a geo_shape filter. (example provided in issue #9691)
This simple patch fixes the unexpected behavior by setting the default distance_error_pct parameter to zero when the tree_level or precision parameters are provided by the user. Under the covers the quadtree will now use the tree level defined by the user. The docs will be updated to alert the user to exercise caution with these parameters. Specifying a precision of "1m" for an index using large complex shapes can quickly lead to OOM issues.

Related to #9049.
By default, the default value for `timestamp` is `now` which means the date the document was processed by the indexing chain.
You can now reject documents which not provide a `timestamp` value by setting `ignore_missing` to false (default to `true`):
```js
{
"tweet" : {
"_timestamp" : {
"enabled" : true,
"ignore_missing" : false
}
}
}
```
When you update the cluster to 1.5 or master, this index created with 1.4 we automatically migrate an index created with 1.4 to the 1.5 syntax.
Let say you have defined this in elasticsearch 1.4.x:
```js
DELETE test
PUT test
{
"settings": {
"number_of_shards": 1,
"number_of_replicas": 0
}
}
PUT test/type/_mapping
{
"type" : {
"_timestamp" : {
"enabled" : true,
"default" : null
}
}
}
```
After migration, the mapping become:
```js
{
"test": {
"mappings": {
"type": {
"_timestamp": {
"enabled": true,
"store": false,
"ignore_missing": false
},
"properties": {}
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#8882.
This feature adds an optional orientation parameter to the GeoJSON document and geo_shape mapping enabling users to explicitly define how they want Elasticsearch to interpret vertex ordering. The default uses the right-hand rule (counterclockwise for outer ring, clockwise for inner ring) complying with OGC Simple Feature Access standards. The parameter can be explicitly specified for an entire index using the geo_shape mapping by adding "orientation":{"left"|"right"|"cw"|"ccw"|"clockwise"|"counterclockwise"} and/or overridden on each insert by adding the same parameter to the GeoJSON document.
closes#8764
The setting `mapping.date.round_ceil` (and the undocumented setting
`index.mapping.date.parse_upper_inclusive`) affect how date ranges using
`lte` are parsed. In #8556 the semantics of date rounding were
solidified, eliminating the need to have different parsing functions
whether the date is inclusive or exclusive.
This change removes these legacy settings and improves the tests
for the date math parser (now at 100% coverage!). It also removes the
unnecessary function `DateMathParser.parseTimeZone` for which
the existing `DateTimeZone.forID` handles all use cases.
Any user previously using these settings can refer to the changed
semantics and change their query accordingly. This is a breaking change
because even dates without datemath previously used the different
parsing functions depending on context.

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).
Index process fails when having `_timestamp` enabled and `path` option is set.
It fails with a `TimestampParsingException[failed to parse timestamp [null]]` message.
Reproduction:
```
DELETE test
PUT test
{
"mappings": {
"test": {
"_timestamp" : {
"enabled" : "yes",
"path" : "post_date"
}
}
}
}
PUT test/test/1
{
"foo": "bar"
}
```
You can define a default value for when timestamp is not provided
within the index request or in the `_source` document.
By default, the default value is `now` which means the date the document was processed by the indexing chain.
You can disable that default value by setting `default` to `null`. It means that `timestamp` is mandatory:
```
{
"tweet" : {
"_timestamp" : {
"enabled" : true,
"default" : null
}
}
}
```
If you don't provide any timestamp value, indexation will fail.
You can also set the default value to any date respecting timestamp format:
```
{
"tweet" : {
"_timestamp" : {
"enabled" : true,
"format" : "YYYY-MM-dd",
"default" : "1970-01-01"
}
}
}
```
If you don't provide any timestamp value, indexation will fail.

Currently, boosting on `copy_to` is misleading and does not work as originally specified in #4520. Instead of boosting just the terms from the origin field, it boosts the whole destination field. If two fields copy_to a third field, one with a boost of 2 and another with a boost of 3, all the terms in the third field end up with a boost of 6. This was not the intention.
The alternative: to store the boost in a payload for every term, results in poor performance and inflexibility. Instead, users should either (1) query the common field AND the field that requires boosting, or (2) the multi_match query will soon be able to perform term-centric cross-field matching that will allow per-field boosting at query time (coming in 1.1).

When upgrading to ES 1.0 the existing mappings with a multi-field type automatically get replaced to a core field with the new `fields` option.
If a `multi_field` type-ed field doesn't have a main / default field, a default field will be chosen for the multi fields syntax. The new main field type
will be equal to the first `multi_field` fields' field or type string if no fields have been configured for the `multi_field` field and in both cases
the default index will not be indexed (`index=no` is set on the default field).
If a `multi_field` typed field has a default field, that field will replace the `multi_field` typed field.

This commit allows for using Lucene doc values as a backend for field data,
moving the cost of building field data from the refresh operation to indexing.
In addition, Lucene doc values can be stored on disk (partially, or even
entirely), so that memory management is done at the operating system level
(file-system cache) instead of the JVM, avoiding long pauses during major
collections due to large heaps.
So far doc values are supported on numeric types and non-analyzed strings
(index:no or index:not_analyzed). Under the hood, it uses SORTED_SET doc values
which is the only type to support multi-valued fields. Since the field data API
set is a bit wider than the doc values API set, some operations are not
supported:
- field data filtering: this will fail if doc values are enabled,
- field data cache clearing, even for memory-based doc values formats,
- getting the memory usage for a specific field,
- knowing whether a field is actually multi-valued.
This commit also allows for configuring doc-values formats on a per-field basis
similarly to postings formats. In particular the doc values format of the
_version field can be configured through its own field mapper (it used to be
handled in UidFieldMapper previously).
