Adds a warning admonition stating that the `index_options` mapping
parameter is intended only for `text` fields.
Removes an outdated statement regarding default values for numeric
and other datatypes.
The way it was originally written, it sounds like
we are boosting at query time.
Of course, the effect is at query time,
but the point here is that boosting is done at index time
This PR adds per-field metadata that can be set in the mappings and is later
returned by the field capabilities API. This metadata is completely opaque to
Elasticsearch but may be used by tools that index data in Elasticsearch to
communicate metadata about fields with tools that then search this data. A
typical example that has been requested in the past is the ability to attach
a unit to a numeric field.
In order to not bloat the cluster state, Elasticsearch requires that this
metadata be small:
- keys can't be longer than 20 chars,
- values can only be numbers or strings of no more than 50 chars - no inner
arrays or objects,
- the metadata can't have more than 5 keys in total.
Given that metadata is opaque to Elasticsearch, field capabilities don't try to
do anything smart when merging metadata about multiple indices, the union of
all field metadatas is returned.
Here is how the meta might look like in mappings:
```json
{
"properties": {
"latency": {
"type": "long",
"meta": {
"unit": "ms"
}
}
}
}
```
And then in the field capabilities response:
```json
{
"latency": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggreggatable": true,
"meta": {
"unit": [ "ms" ]
}
}
}
}
```
When there are no conflicts, values are arrays of size 1, but when there are
conflicts, Elasticsearch includes all unique values in this array, without
giving ways to know which index has which metadata value:
```json
{
"latency": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggreggatable": true,
"meta": {
"unit": [ "ms", "ns" ]
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#33267
The `string` type (with option `analyzed`) has been replaced by `text` after `6.0`,
also the `annonated_text` field do not support doc values and should be mentioned.
The `ignore_malformed` setting only works on selected mapping types, otherwise
we throw an mapper_parsing_exception. We should add a list of all the mapping
types that support it, since the number of types not supporting it seems larger.
Closes#47166
Although they do not support eager_global_ordinals, ip fields use global
ordinals for certain aggregations like 'terms'.
This commit also corrects a reference to the sampler aggregation.
This commit updates the eager_global_ordinals documentation to give more
background on what global ordinals are and when they are used. The docs also now
mention that global ordinal loading may be expensive, and describes the cases
where in which loading them can be avoided.
Some small clarifications about force-merging and global ordinals, particularly
that global ordinals are cheap on a single-segment index and how this relates
to frozen indices.
Fixes#41687
It is possible for internal ML indices like `.data-frame-notifications-1` to leak,
causing other docs tests to fail when they accidentally search over these
indices. This PR updates the ignore_above tests to only search a specific index.
Together with types removal, any mention of "fields with the same name in the same index" doesn't make sense anymore.

This PR makes a few clarifications to the docs for the `enabled` setting:
- Replace references to 'mapping type' with 'mapping' or 'mapping definition'.
- In code examples, clarify that the disabled fields have type `object`.
- Add a section on how disabled fields can hold non-object data.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put mappings.
* Default include_type_name to false for get field mappings.
* Add a constant for the default include_type_name value.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put index templates.
* Default include_type_name to false for create index.
* Update create index calls in REST documentation to use include_type_name=true.
* Some minor clean-ups around the get index API.
* In REST tests, use include_type_name=true by default for index creation.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false'.
* Clarify the different IndexTemplateMetaData toXContent methods.
* Fix FullClusterRestartIT#testSnapshotRestore.
* Fix the ml_anomalies_default_mappings test.
* Fix GetFieldMappingsResponseTests and GetIndexTemplateResponseTests.
We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.
This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.
* Fix more REST tests.
* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.
* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.
* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.
* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false' in FullClusterRestartIT.
* Mention include_type_name in the REST templates docs.
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

This commit moves the documentation and examples for the `index_prefixes`
option on text fields to its own file, to bring it in line with other mapping
parameters, and expands a bit on both.
* Remove a tip about ignore_above that only makes sense with multiple types.
* Remove a line from the percolator documentation that refers to multiple types.
With this commit we remove a leftover in the docs about the `format`
field being updatable. This is not true since we removed support for
updates in #25285.

We used to set `maxScore` to `0` within `TopDocs` in situations where there is really no score as the size was set to `0` and scores were not even tracked. In such scenarios, `Float.Nan` is more appropriate, which gets converted to `max_score: null` on the REST layer. That's also more consistent with lucene which set `maxScore` to `Float.Nan` when merging empty `TopDocs` (see `TopDocs#merge`).
Currently docs don't explain how `ignore_above` behaves with arrays of
strings.
Clarify how `ignore_above` applies for arrays of strings and
also note that all string(s) will still be visible in the
`_source` field.
