Today we softly warn about running with the client VM. However, we
should really refuse to start in production mode if running with the
client VM as the performance of the client VM is too devastating for a
server application. This commit adds an option to jvm.options to ensure
that we are starting with the server VM (on all 32-bit non-Windows
platforms on server-class machines (2+ CPUs, 2+ GB physical RAM) this is
the default and on all 64-bit platforms this is the only option) and
adds a bootstrap check for the client VM.
Relates #18155
Today we specify the client option for the JVM when executing plugin
commands. Yet, this option does nothing on a 64-bit capable JDK as such
JDKs always select the Hotspot server VM. And for 32-bit JDKs, running
plugin commands with the server VM is okay. Thus, we should just remove
this unnecessary flag and just let the default VM be selected.
Relates #18142
This changes our packaging to be explicit about the permissions of files
and directories in the tar.gz, rpm, and deb packages. This is to protect
against a user having an incorrectly set umask when installing.
Additionally, plugins that are installed now have their permissions set
by the plugin installation so that plugins that may have been packaged
with incorrect permissions are secured.
Resolves#17634
In Elasticsearch 5.0.0, by default unquoted field names in JSON will be
rejected. This can cause issues, however, for documents that were
already indexed with unquoted field names. To alleviate this, a system
property has been added that can be enabled so migration can occur.
This system property will be removed in Elasticsearch 6.0.0
Resolves#17674
This commit simplifies the default JVM options that ship with
Elasticsearch. In particular, expert settings that were previously
configurable via environment variables have been removed from the
default configuration file. Further, the heap size settings have been
moved to the top of the file with a clearer message that is in
concordance with their importance.
Closes#17714
This commit sets the bad_env_var to a default value of 0 so that in case
no bad environment variables are encountered the variable is still
defined and does not later cause a parse error in the execution of these
batch files.
Relates #17675
JAVA_OPTS is not a built-in mechanism for passing options to the JVM but
many people think that it is. We do not respect JAVA_OPTS, but this
commit adds a warning if it is set in case the end-user thinks that it
will affect Elasticsearch.
This commit renames the function that parses JVM options in
bin/elasticsearch from jvm_options to parse_jvm_options. The reason for
the rename is because a for-loop variable was shadowing the name of this
function and changing the function name further clarifies the purpose of
the function.
This commit fixes the placement of a comment in bin/elasticsearch. The
comment was made out of place by the addition of a function definition
but order is restored.
This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and
simplify management of JVM options. This separates the configuration of
the JVM from the packaging scripts (bin/elasticsearch*, bin/service.bat,
and init.d/elasticsearch) simplifying end-user operational management of
custom JVM options.
This commit quotes the variable that contains the path to the java
binary. Without these quotes, when the arguments to eval are evaluated
the existing quotes will be removed leading to unquoted use of the path
to the java binary. If this path contains spaces, evaluation will fail.
This commit ensures that the data, logs, and config directories have the
proper ownership after the packages are installed. Additionally, this
commit ensures that the configs in /etc/elasticsearch are preserved
after removal of the RPM package.
This commit fixes the pidfile setting on systems that used systemd. The
issue is that the pidfile can only be set via the command line arguments
-p or --pidfile, and is no longer settable via a setting.
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
Enables the touching of all memory pages used by the JVM heap spaces
during initialization of the HotSpot VM, which commits all memory pages
at initialization time. By default, pages are committed only as they are
needed.
The plugin cli currently is extremely lenient, allowing most errors to
simply be logged. This can lead to either corrupt installations (eg
partially installed plugins), or confused users.
This change rewrites the plugin cli to have almost no leniency.
Unfortunately it was not possible to remove all leniency, due in
particular to how config files are handled.
The following functionality was simplified:
* The format of the name argument to install a plugin is now an official
plugin name, maven coordinates, or a URL.
* Checksum files are required, and only checked, for official plugins
and maven plugins. Checksums are also only SHA1.
* Downloading no longer uses a separate thread, and no longer has a timeout.
* Installation, and removal, attempts to be atomic. This only truly works
when no config or bin files exist.
* config and bin directories are verified before copying is attempted.
* Permissions and user/group are no longer set on config and bin files.
We rely on the users umask.
* config and bin directories must only contain files, no subdirectories.
* The code is reorganized so each command is a separate class. These
classes already existed, but were embedded in the plugin cli class, as
an extra layer between the cli code and the code running for each command.
This commit modifies the default setting for standard output in the
systemd configuration to the journal instead of /dev/null. This is to
address a user pain point where Elasticsearch would fail to start but
the error message would be sent to standard output and therefore
/dev/null leading to difficult-to-debug situations.
This makes some minor improvements (does not fix all problems!)
It reorders unicast disco in elasticsearch.yml to be right after the network host,
for better locality.
It removes the warning (unreleased) about publish addresses, lets try to really discourage setting
that unless you need to (behind a proxy server). Most people should be fine with `network.host`
Finally it reorganizes the network docs page a bit:
We add a table of 4 "basic" settings at the very beginning:
* network.host
* discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts
* http.port
* transport.tcp.port
The first two being the most important, which addresses to bind and talk to, and the other two
being the port numbers.
The rest of the stuff I tried to simplify and reorder under "advanced" headers.
This is just a quick stab, I still think we need more effort into this thing, but we gotta start somewhere.
This change removes the leftover pom files. A couple files were left for
reference, namely in qa tests that have not yet been migrated (vagrant
and multinode). The deb and rpm assemblies also still exist for
reference when finishing their setup in gradle.
See #13930
This commit fixes an issue where when starting Elasticsearch in
daemonized mode, a failed startup would not cause a non-zero exit code
to be returned. This can prevent the SysV init system from detecting
startup failures.
Closes#14163
It is rarely used and was not consistently handled by different distributions anyway.
This commit also adds a test for specifying CONF_DIR when installing plugins and
starting elasticsearch.

Fail hard on empty classpath elements.
This can happen easily, if somehow old 1.x shellscripts survive and try to launch 2.x code.
I have the feeling this happens maybe because of packaging upgrades or something.
Either way: we can just fail hard and clear in this situation, rather than the current situation
where CWD might be /, and we might traverse the entire filesystem until we hit an error...

Reasoning: When calling the plugin manager on java 7 with additional JAVA_OPTS
that change heap configuration compared to what is set at the plugin

This commit removes the JAVA_OPTS and ES_JAVA_OPTS from the plugin
manager call to prevent those settings.

This commit addresses several bugs that prevented the Windows
service from being started or stopped:
- Extra white space in the concatenation of java options in
elasticsearch.in.bat which tripped up Apache Commons Daemon
and caused ES to startup without any params, eventually leading
to the "path.home is not configured" exception.
- service.bat was not passing the start argument to ES
- The service could not be stopped gracefully via the stop command
because there wasn't a method for procrun to call.
Closes#13247Closes#13401
The `-Xloggc:filename.log` parameter has very strict filename semantics:
```
[A-Z][a-z][0-9]-_.%[p|t]
```
Our script specifies \" and \" to surround it, which makes Java think we
are sending: -Xloggc:"foo.log" and it fails with:
```
Invalid file name for use with -Xloggc: Filename can only contain the characters [A-Z][a-z][0-9]-_.%[p|t] but it has been "foo.log"
Note %p or %t can only be used once
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
```
We can't quote this, and we should not need to since the valid
characters don't include a space character, so we don't need to worry
about quoting.

Default to unicast discovery, with default host list of 127.0.0.1, [::1]
Systemd looks to be a bit less tolerant about $VAR than bash is. Replace
$VAR with ${VAR} in places in the systemd configuration file to get the
substitutions working.
Users with IPv6 preferred over IPv4 may have `localhost` resolve to
`::1` instead of `127.0.0.1`, so we should be explicit so they don't run
into issues.
the default classloader. It had all kinds of leniency in how the
classname was found, and simply cannot work with plugins having isolated
classloaders.
This change removes that method. Some of the uses of it were for custom
extension points, like custom repository or discovery types. A lot were
just there to plugin mock implementations for tests. For the settings
that were legitimate, all now support plugins adding the given setting
via onModule. For those that were specific to tests for mocks, they now
use Classes.loadClass (a helper around Class.forName). This is a
temporary measure until (in a future PR) tests can change the
implementation via package private statics.
I also removed a number of unnecessary intermediate modules, added a
"jvm-example" plugin that can be filled in in the future as a smoke test
for breaking plugins, and gave some documentation to "spawn" modules
interface.

Bats testing uncovered a useless systemctl check, that resulted in an
error, because the systemctl file was uninstalled, but we hoped to
check for an explicetely configured SystemExitCode.
In addition we did not reload the systemctl configuration when uninstalling
elasticsearch, which now is fixed as well.
Closes#12682
In order to ensure, we have the same experience across operating systems
and shells, this commit uses the java CLI parser instead of the shell
getopt parsing to parse arguments.
This also allows for support for paths, which contain spaces.
Also commons-cli depdency was upgraded to 1.3.1 and tests have been added.
Changes
* new exit code, OK_AND_EXIT, allowing to tell the caller to exit, as everything
went as expected (e.g. when running a version output)
BWC breaking:
* execute() returns an ExitStatus instead of an integer, otherwise there is no
possibility to signal by a command, if the JVM should be exited after a run.
This affects plugins, that have command line tools
* -v used to be version, but is a verbose flag by default in the current CLI infra,
must be -V or --version now
* -X has been removed - the current implementation was useless anyway, as
it prefixed those properties with "es.". You should use
ES_JAVA_OPTS/JAVA_OPTS for JVM configuration
This change creates a proper `distribution` modules in which we have today packaging for
all of our four current packages:
* zip
* tar.gz
* rpm
* deb
Licenes have moved into the distribution project as well. So have the config/ and the bin/ directory
from the core/ project.
The RPM package is now built, if rpmbuild exists.
The bats tests have been moved as well.
Also the zip distribution now executes the REST integration tests.
