* Introduce Spatial Plugin (#44389)
Introduce a skeleton Spatial plugin that holds new licensed features coming to
Geo/Spatial land!
* [GEO] Refactor DeprecatedParameters in AbstractGeometryFieldMapper (#44923)
Refactor DeprecatedParameters specific to legacy geo_shape out of
AbstractGeometryFieldMapper.TypeParser#parse.
* [SPATIAL] New ShapeFieldMapper for indexing cartesian geometries (#44980)
Add a new ShapeFieldMapper to the xpack spatial module for
indexing arbitrary cartesian geometries using a new field type called shape.
The indexing approach leverages lucene's new XYShape field type which is
backed by BKD in the same manner as LatLonShape but without the WGS84
latitude longitude restrictions. The new field mapper builds on and
extends the refactoring effort in AbstractGeometryFieldMapper and accepts
shapes in either GeoJSON or WKT format (both of which support non geospatial
geometries).
Tests are provided in the ShapeFieldMapperTest class in the same manner
as GeoShapeFieldMapperTests and LegacyGeoShapeFieldMapperTests.
Documentation for how to use the new field type and what parameters are
accepted is included. The QueryBuilder for searching indexed shapes is
provided in a separate commit.
* [SPATIAL] New ShapeQueryBuilder for querying indexed cartesian geometry (#45108)
Add a new ShapeQueryBuilder to the xpack spatial module for
querying arbitrary Cartesian geometries indexed using the new shape field
type.
The query builder extends AbstractGeometryQueryBuilder and leverages the
ShapeQueryProcessor added in the previous field mapper commit.
Tests are provided in ShapeQueryTests in the same manner as
GeoShapeQueryTests and docs are updated to explain how the query works.
Previously, the reindex examples did not include `_doc` as the destination type.
This would result in the reindex failing with the error "Rejecting mapping
update to [users] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc,
user]".
Relates to #43100.
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
Typically, dense vectors of both documents and queries must have the same
number of dimensions. Different number of dimensions among documents
or query vector indicate an error. This PR enforces that all vectors
for the same field have the same number of dimensions. It also enforces
that query vectors have the same number of dimensions.
A few places in the documentation had mentioned 6.7 as the version to
upgrade from, when doing an upgrade to 7.0. While this is technically
possible, this commit will replace all those mentions to 6.8, as this is
the latest version with the latest bugfixes, deprecation checks and
ugprade assistant features - which should be the one used for upgrades.

This commit merges the `object-fields` feature branch. The new 'flattened
object' field type allows an entire JSON object to be indexed into a field, and
provides limited search functionality over the field's contents.
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.
(cherry picked from commit c5190106cbd4c007945156249cce462956933326)
This PR updates the docs for `docvalue_fields` and `stored_fields` to clarify
that nested fields must be accessed through `inner_hits`. It also tweaks the
nested fields documentation to make this point more visible.
Addresses #23766.
* Previously, we mentioned multiple times that each nested object was indexed as its own document. This is repetitive, and is also a bit confusing in the context of `index.mapping.nested_fields.limit`, as that applies to the number of distinct `nested` types in the mappings, not the number of nested objects. We now just describe the issue once at the beginning of the section, to illustrate why `nested` types can be expensive.
* Reference the ongoing example to clarify the meaning of the two settings.
Addresses #28363.
The `path_match` and `path_unmatch` parameters in dynamic templates match on
object fields in addition to leaf fields. This is not obvious and can cause
surprising errors when a template is meant for a leaf field, but there are
object fields that match. This PR adds a note to the docs to describe the
current behavior.
We received some feedback that it is not completely clear why `_doc` is present
in the typeless document APIs:
> The new index APIs are PUT {index}/_doc/{id} in case of explicit ids and POST
{index}/_doc for auto-generated ids."_ Isn't this contradicting? Specifying
*types in requests is deprecated*, but we are supposed to still mention *_doc*
in write requests?
This PR updates the 'removal of types' documentation to try to clarify that
`_doc` now represents the endpoint name, as opposed to a type.
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.
Adds the search_as_you_type field type that acts like a text field optimized
for as-you-type search completion. It creates a couple subfields that analyze
the indexed terms as shingles, against which full terms are queried, and a
prefix subfield that analyze terms as the largest shingle size used and
edge-ngrams, against which partial terms are queried
Adds a match_bool_prefix query type that creates a boolean clause of a term
query for each term except the last, for which a boolean clause with a prefix
query is created.
The match_bool_prefix query is the recommended way of querying a search as you
type field, which will boil down to term queries for each shingle of the input
text on the appropriate shingle field, and the final (possibly partial) term
as a term query on the prefix field. This field type also supports phrase and
phrase prefix queries however
Currently if a field alias is updated, any percolator queries that contain the
alias will still refer to its old target. This PR documents the issue while we
look into addressing it.
Relates to #37212.
This adds a dedicated field mapper that supports nanosecond resolution -
at the price of a reduced date range.
When using the date field mapper, the time is stored as milliseconds since the epoch
in a long in lucene. This field mapper stores the time in nanoseconds
since the epoch - which means its range is much smaller, ranging roughly from
1970 to 2262.
Note that aggregations will still be in milliseconds.
However docvalue fields will have full nanosecond resolution

There are a two major features that are not yet supported by BKD Backed geo_shape: MultiPoint queries, and CONTAINS relation. It is important we are explicitly clear in the documentation that using the new approach may not work for users that depend on these features. This commit adds an IMPORTANT NOTE section to geo_shape docs that explicitly highlights these missing features and what should be done if they are an absolute necessity.
Currently if you mix typed templates and typeless index creation or typeless
templates and typed index creation then you will end up with an error because
Elasticsearch tries to create an index that has multiple types: `_doc` and
the explicit type name that you used.
This commit proposes to give precedence to the index creation call so that
the type from the template will be ignored if the index creation call is
typeless while the template is typed, and the type from the index creation
call will be used if there is a typeless template.
This is consistent with the fact that index creation already "wins" if a field
is defined differently in the index creation call and in a template: the
definition from the index creation call is used in such cases.
Closes#37773
Ranaming as follows:

The "include_type_name" parameter was temporarily introduced in #37285 to facilitate
moving the default parameter setting to "false" in many places in the documentation
code snippets. Most of the places can simply be reverted without causing errors.
In this change I looked for asciidoc files that contained the
"include_type_name=true" addition when creating new indices but didn't look
likey they made use of the "_doc" type for mappings. This is mostly the case
e.g. in the analysis docs where index creating often only contains settings. I
manually corrected the use of types in some places where the docs still used an
explicit type name and not the dummy "_doc" type.
* 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.

* [Geo] Expose BKDBackedGeoShapes as new VECTOR strategy
This commit exposes lucene's LatLonShape field as a new
strategy in GeoShapeFieldMapper. To use the new indexing
approach, strategy should be set to "vector" in the
geo_shape field mapper. If the tree parameter is set
the mapper will throw an IAE. Note the following:
When using vector strategy:
* geo_shape query does not support querying by POINT,
MULTIPOINT, or GEOMETRYCOLLECTION.
* LINESTRING and MULTILINESTRING queries do not support
WITHIN relation.
* CONTAINS relation is not supported.
* The tree, precision, tree_levels, distance_error_pct,
and points_only parameters will not throw an exception
but they have no effect and will be marked as
deprecated..
All other features are supported.
* revert change to PercolatorFieldMapper
* fix ExistsQuery for geo_shape vector strategy
* add deprecation logging for tree, precision, tree_levels, distance_error_pct, and points_only
* initial update to geoshape docs, including mapping migration updates
* initial support for GeoCollection queries
* fix docs and javadoc errors
* clean up geocollection queries
* set deprecated mapping tests to NOTCONSOLE
* fix geo-shape mapper asciidoc mapping and test warnings
* add support for point queries using LatLonShapeBoundingBoxQuery
* update GeoShapeQueryBuilderTests to include POINT queries for VECTOR strategy. Other comment cleanups
* add lucene geometry build testing to ShapeBuilder tests
* remove deprecated prefix tree mapping from geo-shape.asciidoc
* refactor GeoShapeFieldMapper into LegacyGeoShapeFieldMapper and GeoShapeFieldMapper
Both classes derive from BaseGeoShapeFieldMapper that provides shared parameters:
coerce, ignoreMalformed, ignore_z_value, orientation.
* update docs to remove vector strategy
* fix GeometryCollectionBuilder#buildLucene to return the object created by the shape builder
* fix LineLength failure in GeoJsonShapeParserTests
* ShapeMapper refactor changes from PR feedback

This commit exposes lucene's LatLonShape field as the
default type in GeoShapeFieldMapper. To use the new
indexing approach, simply set "type" : "geo_shape" in
the mappings without setting any of the strategy, precision,
tree_levels, or distance_error_pct parameters. Note the
following when using the new indexing approach:
* geo_shape query does not support querying by
MULTIPOINT.
* LINESTRING and MULTILINESTRING queries do not
yet support WITHIN relation.
* CONTAINS relation is not yet supported.
The tree, precision, tree_levels, distance_error_pct,
and points_only parameters are deprecated.
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.
We've decided that the bulk, delete, get, index, update, and search APIs should not
contain this request parameter, and we will instead accept both typed and typeless calls.
* 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.
* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
When a envelope that crosses the dateline is specified as a part of
geo_shape query is parsed it shouldn't have its left and right points
flipped.

New plugin for annotated_text field type.
Largely a copy of `text` field type but adds ability to include markdown-like syntax in the text.
The “AnnotatedText” class parses text+markup and converts into plain text and AnnotationTokens.
The annotation token values are injected unchanged alongside the regular text tokens to provide a
form of additional indexed overlay useful in positional searches and highlighting.
Annotated_text fields do not support fielddata as we want to phase this out.
Also includes a new "annotated" highlighter type that retains annotations and merges in search
hits as additional annotation markup.
Closes#29467
The main benefit of the upgrade for users is the search optimization for top scored documents when the total hit count is not needed. However this optimization is not activated in this change, there is another issue opened to discuss how it should be integrated smoothly.
Some comments about the change:
* Tests that can produce negative scores have been adapted but we need to forbid them completely: #33309Closes#32899
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.

The range docs had an introductory section that described how to set up
and index *and* a test setup section in `docs/build.gradle` that
duplicated that section. This is bad because these section can (and do)
drift from one another. This change removes the setup in build.gradle
and marks the introductor snippet with `// TESTSETUP` so it is used on
all the snippets.
A link to the ip_range datatype page provides a way for newer users to know
it exists if they land directly on the ip datatype page first via a search.
This field is similar to the `feature` field but is better suited to index
sparse feature vectors. A use-case for this field could be to record topics
associated with every documents alongside a metric that quantifies how well
the topic is connected to this document, and then boost queries based on the
topics that the logged user is interested in.

* [DOCS] Rewords _field_names documentation
Corrects the language around when we write to `_field_names` and when you might want to disable it given that n recent versions it does not carry the indexing overhead it once did.

* Update wording following review
Specifying `index_phrases: true` on a text field mapping will add a subsidiary
[field]._index_phrase field, indexing two-term shingles from the parent field.
The parent analysis chain is re-used, wrapped with a FixedShingleFilter.
At query time, if a phrase match query is executed, the mapping will redirect it
to run against the subsidiary field.
This should trade faster phrase querying for a larger index and longer indexing
times.

This change adds an option named `split_queries_on_whitespace` to the `keyword`
field type. When set to true full text queries (`match`, `multi_match`, `query_string`, ...) that target the field will split the input on whitespace to build the query terms. Defaults to `false`.
Closes#30393
Lucene has a new `FeatureField` which gives the ability to record numeric
features as term frequencies. Its main benefit is that it allows to boost
queries with the values of these features and efficiently skip non-competitive
documents at the same time using block-max WAND and indexed impacts.
This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
This adds a new `_ignored` meta field which indexes and stores fields that have
been ignored at index time because of the `ignore_malformed` option. It makes
malformed documents easier to identify by using `exists` or `term(s)` queries
on the `_ignored` field.
Closes#29494
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
This improves the way similarities are plugged in in order to:
- reject the classic similarity on 7.x indices and emit a deprecation
warning otherwise
- reject unkwown parameters on 7.x indices and emit a deprecation
warning otherwise
Even though this breaks the plugin API, I'd like to backport to 7.x so
that users can get deprecation warnings when they are doing something
that will become unsupported in the future.
Closes#23208Closes#29035
Today this part of the documentation just says that Geo queries are not 100%
accurate, but in fact we can be more precise about which kinds of queries see
which kinds of error. This commit clarifies this point.
At time of writing, GeoJSON did not enforce a specific ordering of vertices in
a polygon, but it now does. We occasionally get reports of Elasticsearch
rejecting apparently-valid GeoJSON because of badly oriented polygons, and it's
helpful to be able to point at this bit of the documentation when responding.
This enhancement adds Z value support (source only) to geo_shape fields. If vertices are provided with a third dimension, the third dimension is ignored for indexing but returned as part of source. Like beofre, any values greater than the 3rd dimension are ignored.

Currently the callouts for this section are below all the examples, making it
harder to relate them to the snippets. Instead they should be moved closer
to the examples.
This adds the ability to index term prefixes into a hidden subfield, enabling prefix queries to be run without multitermquery rewrites. The subfield reuses the analysis chain of its parent text field, appending an EdgeNGramTokenFilter. It can be configured with minimum and maximum ngram lengths. Query terms with lengths outside this min-max range fall back to using prefix queries against the parent text field.
The mapping looks like this:
"my_text_field" : {
"type" : "text",
"analyzer" : "english",
"index_prefix" : { "min_chars" : 1, "max_chars" : 10 }

extract all clauses from a conjunction query.
When clauses from a conjunction are extracted the number of clauses is
also stored in an internal doc values field (minimum_should_match field).
This field is used by the CoveringQuery and allows the percolator to
reduce the number of false positives when selecting candidate matches and
in certain cases be absolutely sure that a conjunction candidate match
will match and then skip MemoryIndex validation. This can greatly improve
performance.
Before this change only a single clause was extracted from a conjunction
query. The percolator tried to extract the clauses that was rarest in order
(based on term length) to attempt less candidate queries to be selected
in the first place. However this still method there is still a very high
chance that candidate query matches are false positives.
This change also removes the influencing query extraction added via #26081
as this is no longer needed because now all conjunction clauses are extracted.

Numeric fields no longer support the index_options parameter. This changes the parameter
to be rejected in numeric field types after it was deprecated in 6.0.
Closes#21475
The percolator will add a `_percolator_document_slot` field to all percolator
hits to indicate with what document it has matched. This number matches with
the order in which the documents have been specified in the percolate query.
Also improved the support for multiple percolate queries in a search request.
The `index.percolator.map_unmapped_fields_as_text` is a more better name, because unmapped fields are mapped to a text field with default settings
and string is no longer a field type (it is either keyword or text).
* Remove the _all metadata field
This change removes the `_all` metadata field. This field is deprecated in 6
and cannot be activated for indices created in 6 so it can be safely removed in
the next major version (e.g. 7).
The percolator field mapper doesn't need to extract all terms and ranges from a bool query with must or filter clauses.
In order to help to default extraction behavior, boost fields can be configured, so that fields that are known for not being
selective enough can be ignored in favor for other fields or clauses with specific fields can forcefully take precedence over other clauses.
This can help selecting clauses for fields that don't match with a lot of percolator queries over other clauses and thus improving performance of the percolate query.
For example a status like field is something that should configured as an ignore field.
Queries on this field tend to match with more documents and so if clauses for this fields
get selected as best clause then that isn't very helpful for the candidate query that the
percolate query generates to filter out percolator queries that are likely not going to match.
The Writeble representation is less heavy to parse and that will benefit percolate performance and throughput.
The query builder's binary format has now the same bwc guarentees as the xcontent format.
Added a qa test that verifies that percolator queries written in older versions are still readable by the current version.
