The payload option was introduced with the new completion
suggester implementation in v5, as a stop gap solution
to return additional metadata with suggestions.
Now we can return associated documents with suggestions
(#19536) through fetch phase using stored field (_source).
The additional fetch phase ensures that we only fetch
the _source for the global top-N suggestions instead of
fetching _source of top results for each shard.
This commit enables completion suggester to return documents
associated with suggestions. Now the document source is returned
with every suggestion, which respects source filtering options.
In case of suggest queries spanning more than one shard, the
suggest is executed in two phases, where the last phase fetches
the relevant documents from shards, implying executing suggest
requests against a single shard is more performant due to the
document fetch overhead when the suggest spans multiple shards.
The completion suggester provides auto-complete/search-as-you-type functionality.
This is a navigational feature to guide users to relevant results as they are typing, improving search precision.
It is not meant for spell correction or did-you-mean functionality like the term or phrase suggesters.
The completions are indexed as a weighted FST (finite state transducer) to provide fast Top N prefix-based
searches suitable for serving relevant results as a user types.

The `analyzer` setting is now the base setting, and `search_analyzer`
is simply an override of the search time analyzer. When setting
`search_analyzer`, `analyzer` must be set.

The existing Note about the shorthand suggest syntax was poorly worded and confusing. Please check whether the way I've phrased it now is still correct as to what the shorthand form actually does and doesn't do: the original wording did not provide me enough information to be sure.
Thanks!
================
This commit extends the `CompletionSuggester` by context
informations. In example such a context informations can
be a simple string representing a category reducing the
suggestions in order to this category.
Three base implementations of these context informations
have been setup in this commit.
- a Category Context
- a Geo Context
All the mapping for these context informations are
specified within a context field in the completion
field that should use this kind of information.
Java Builder apis drop old “len” methods in favour of new “length”
Rest APIs support both old “len: and new “length” forms using new ParseField class to a) provide compiler-checked consistency between Builder and Parser classes and
b) a common means of handling deprecated syntax in the DSL.
Documentation and rest specs only document the new “*length” forms
Closes#4083
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.
Closes to #4521
A lot of different API's currently use different names for the
same logical parameter. Since lucene moved away from the notion
of a `similarity` and now uses an `fuzziness` we should generalize
this and encapsulate the generation, parsing and creation of these
settings across all queries.
This commit adds a new `Fuzziness` class that handles the renaming
and generalization in a backwards compatible manner.
This commit also added a ParseField class to better support deprecated
Query DSL parameters
The ParseField class allows specifying parameger that have been deprecated.
Those parameters can be more easily tracked and removed in future version.
This also allows to run queries in `strict` mode per index to throw
exceptions if a query is executed with deprected keys.
Closes#4082
This contribution is based on the feedback given in issue #4254 and
issue #4255, and should clear things up, when suggestions are being
removed and not displayed anymore after deletion of data.
* Minor alignments (like setter to ctor)
* FuzzySuggester has a unicode aware flag, which is not exposed in the fuzzy completion request parameters
* Made XAnalyzingSuggester flags (PAYLOAD_SEP, END_BYTE, SEP_LABEL) to be written into the postings format, so we can retain backwards compatibility
* The above change also implies, that these flags can be set per instantiated XAnalyzingSuggester
* CompletionPostingsFormatTest now uses a randomProvider for writing data to check for bwc
Restrict the size of the input length to a reasonable size otherwise very
long strings can cause StackOverflowExceptions deep down in lucene land.
Yet, this is simply a saftly limit set to `50` UTF-16 codepoints by default.
This limit is only present at index time and not at query time. If prefix
completions > 50 UTF-16 codepoints are expected / desired this limit should be raised.
Critical string sizes are beyone the 1k UTF-16 Codepoints limit.
