This adds the `bin/elasticsearch-translate` bin file that will be used
for CLI tasks pertaining to Elasticsearch. Currently it implements only
a single sub-command, `truncate-translog`, that creates a truncated
translog for a given folder.
Here's what running the tool looks like:
```
λ bin/elasticsearch-translog truncate -d data/nodes/0/indices/P45vf_YQRhqjfwLMUvSqDw/0/translog/

Today in the packaging removal scripts, we disable the service in
post-uninstall. Yet, this happens after service files have been
erased. On some systems, this can cause the service disable to fail
leaving behind state causing the service to be enabled on subsequent
installs. This commit moves the service disabling to the pre-uninstall
script to prevent this issue.

Unless explicitly disabled, the parallel new collector is enabled
automatically as soon as the CMS collector is enabled:
void Arguments::set_cms_and_parnew_gc_flags() {
assert(
!UseSerialGC && !UseParallelOldGC && !UseParallelGC,
"Error");
assert(UseConcMarkSweepGC, "CMS is expected to be on here");
// If we are using CMS, we prefer to UseParNewGC,
// unless explicitly forbidden.
if (FLAG_IS_DEFAULT(UseParNewGC)) {
FLAG_SET_ERGO(bool, UseParNewGC, true);
}
While it's fine to be explicit, the UseParNewGC flag is deprecatd in JDK
8 and produces warning messages in JDK 9:
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseParNewGC was
deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future
release.
Thus, we can and should just remove this flag from the default JVM
options.

The setting bootstrap.mlockall is useful on both POSIX-like systems
(POSIX mlockall) and Windows (Win32 VirtualLock). But mlockall is really
a POSIX only thing so the name should not be tied POSIX. This commit
renames the setting to "bootstrap.memory_lock".

The distributions had their own copies of these extra files, which was a
carry over from maven. This change removes the duplicate files and
copies them from the root of the project.

The default jvm.options file ships with the -server flag to force the
server VM on systems where the server VM is not the default. However,
the method of starting the JVM via the Windows service does not support
the command-line flags for selecting the VM because it starts from a
DLL that is specific to the server or client VM. Thus, we need to
filter these options from the jvm.options configuration file when
installing the Windows service.

Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

In the plugin script we set the setting default.path.conf to control the
path to the configuration file. But the default directory might not
exist in which case we can run into exceptions. This commit restores a
guard against this directory not existing.
This commit switches the command-line scripts to use bash instead of sh
so that we can take advantage of features that bash provides like
arrays.
Relates #18251
In 7d1fd17172 the parsing of command-line
properties in the plugin script was removed. That commit missed
additional parsing of the properties for es.default.path.conf. This
commit removes that parsing and also replaces the use of eval with exec.
Relates #18239
The plugin script parses command-line options looking for Java system
properties and extracts these arguments to pass to the java command when
starting the JVM. Since elasticsearch-plugin allows arbitrary user
arguments to the JVM via ES_JAVA_OPTS, this parsing is unnecessary. This
commit removes this unnecessary
Relates #18207
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.

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.
