Some build tasks require older JDKs. For example, the BWC build tasks
for older versions of Elasticsearch require older JDKs. It is onerous to
require these be configured when merely compiling Elasticsearch, the
requirement that they be strictly set to appropriate values should only
be enforced if these tasks are going to be executed. To address this, we
lazy configure these tasks.
Today we have JAVA_HOME for the compiler Java home and RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME
for the test Java home. However, when we compile BWC nodes and run them,
neither of these Java homes might be the version that was suitable for
that BWC node (e.g., 5.6 requires JDK 8 to compile and to run). This
commit adds support for the environment variables JAVA\d+_HOME and uses
the appropriate Java home based on the version of the node being
started. We even do this for reindex-from-old which requires JDK 7 for
these very old nodes. Note that these environment variables are not
required if not running BWC tests, and they are strictly required if
running BWC tests.
The BWC builds always fetch the latest from the elastic/elasticsearch
repository for the BWC branches. Yet, there are use-cases for using the
local checkout without fetching the latest. This commit enables these
use-cases by adding a tests.bwc.git.fetch.latest property to skip the
fetches.
Today we have a silent batch mode in the install plugin command when
standard input is closed or there is no tty. It appears that
historically this was useful when running tests where we want to accept
plugin permissions without having to acknowledge them. Now that we have
an explicit batch mode flag, this use-case is removed. The motivation
for removing this now is that there is another place where silent batch
mode arises and that is when a user attempts to install a plugin inside
a Docker container without keeping standard input open and attaching a
tty. In this case, the install plugin command will treat the situation
as a silent batch mode and therefore the user will never have the chance
to acknowledge the additional permissions required by a plugin. This
commit removes this silent batch mode in favor of using the --batch flag
when running tests and requiring the user to take explicit action to
acknowledge the additional permissions (either by leaving standard input
open and attaching a tty, or by passing the --batch flags themselves).
Note that with this change the user will now see a null pointer
exception when they try to install a plugin in a Docker container
without keeping standard input open and attaching a tty. This will be
addressed in an immediate follow-up, but because the implications of
that change are larger, they should be handled separately from this one.
This commit changes the sysprop for overriding the branch bwc builds use
to be branch specific. There are 3 different bwc branches built, but all
of them currently read the exact same sysprop. For example, with this change
and current branches, you can now specify eg `-Dtests.bwc.refspec.6.x=my_6x`
and it will build only next-minor-snapshot with that branch, while
next-bugfix-snapshot will continue to use 5.6.
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the error file path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to the root of the
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
error file path relative to this directory and default it to the logs
directory, similar to the package distributions.
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the heap dump path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to to the root of
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
heap dump path relative to this directory and default it to the data
directory, similar to the package distributions.
When upgrading via the RPM package, we can run into a problem where
the keystore fails to be created. This arises because the %post script
on RPM runs after the new package files are installed but before the
removal of the old package files. This means that the contents of the
lib folder can contain files from the old package and the new package
and thus running the create keystore tool can encounter JAR hell
issues and fail. To solve this, we move creating the keystore to the
%posttrans script which runs after the old package files are
removed. We only need to do this on the RPM package, so we add a
switch in the shared post-install script.
The cd command on Windows has an oddity regarding changing
directories. If the drive of the current directory is a different drive
than than of the directory that was passed to the cd command, cd acts in
query mode and does not change the current directory. Instead, a flag is
needed to put the cd command into set mode so that the directory
actually changes. This causes a problem when starting Elasticsearch from
a directory different than the one where it is installed and this commit
fixes the issue.
Today we allow any other method of starting Elastisearch to override
jvm.options via ES_JAVA_OPTS. Yet, for some settings in the Windows
service, we do not allow this. This commit removes this in favor of
being consistent with other packaging choices.
Provide more actionable error message when installing an offline plugin
in the plugins directory, and the `plugins` directory for the node
contains plugin distribution.
Closes#27401
This commit adds a JVM flag to ensure that the JVM fatal error logs land
in the default log directory. Users that wish to use an alternative
location should change the path configured here.
As we have factored Elasticsearch into smaller libraries, we have ended
up in a situation that some of the dependencies of Elasticsearch are not
available to code that depends on these smaller libraries but not server
Elasticsearch. This is a good thing, this was one of the goals of
separating Elasticsearch into smaller libraries, to shed some of the
dependencies from other components of the system. However, this now
means that simple utility methods from Lucene that we rely on are no
longer available everywhere. This commit copies IOUtils (with some small
formatting changes for our codebase) into the fold so that other
components of the system can rely on these methods where they no longer
depend on Lucene.
We no longer source the environment file in the packaging scripts yet we
had leftover references to variables defined by those environment
files. This commit cleans these up.
Previously we allowed a lot of customization of Elasticsearch during
package installation (e.g., the username and group). This customization
was achieved by sourcing the env script (e.g.,
/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch) during installation. Since we no longer
allow such flexibility, we do not need to source these env scripts
during package installation and removal.
This commit removes the ability to specify that a plugin requires the
keystore and instead creates the keystore on package installation or
when Elasticsearch is started for the first time. The reason that we opt
to create the keystore on package installation is to ensure that the
keystore has the correct permissions (the package installation scripts
run as root as opposed to Elasticsearch running as the elasticsearch
user) and to enable removing the keystore on package removal if the
keystore is not modified.
This commit removes running rest tests on the full zip and tar
distributions in favor of doing a simple extraction check like is done
for rpm and deb files. The rest tests are still run on the integ test
zip, at least for now (this should eventually be moved out to a different
location).
This commit moves the distribution specific tasks into the respective
archives and packages builds. The collocation of common and distribution
specific tasks make it much easier to reason about what is expected in a
particular distribution.
There is a bug in the for statement where we execute the JVM options
parser. The bug manfiests in the handling of paths with ) in the
name. The problem is this: we use a for statement to capture the output
of the JVM options parser. A for statement that executes a command
defers execution to cmd. There is this gem from the help:
1. If all of the following conditions are met, then quote characters
on the command line are preserved:
- no /S switch
- exactly two quote characters
- no special characters between the two quote characters,
where special is one of: &<>()@^|
- there are one or more whitespace characters between the
two quote characters
- the string between the two quote characters is the name
of an executable file.
2. Otherwise, old behavior is to see if the first character is
a quote character and if so, strip the leading character and
remove the last quote character on the command line, preserving
any text after the last quote character.
This means that the ) causes the quotes to be stripped which ruins
everything. This commit fixes this by delaying expansion of the paths.

Previously a user could set a custom config path to a relative directory
using ES_PATH_CONF. In a previous change related to enabling GC logging
by default, we forced the working directory for Elasticsearch to be
ES_HOME. This had the impact of causing all relative paths to be
relative to ES_HOME, against the intent of the user. This commit
addresses this by making ES_PATH_CONF absolute before we switch the
working directory to ES_HOME.

This commit adds intermediate gradle projects for archive based
distributions (zip, tar) and package based distributions (rpm, deb). The
grouping allows the common distribution build file to be considerably
shorter and clearly separated from the common zip/tar and rpm/deb
configuration.
The remote check previously validated both the remote name and the
repository as well, meaning that if someone passed in a repository that
was not a github URL, it would fail. This meant that it was not possible
to fully test bwc out with multiple branches without first pushing to a
remote. Removing the full check allows a user to pass in the origin
remote as its remote, which is already added as a file based remote to
each bwc snapshot build. This will allow changes to be made locally
across all bwc branches, tested, and then pushed simultaneously.
The build.snapshot flag used by the main build was being propagated down
into the bwc snapshot builds, which is not correct. The bwc subprojects
are always meant to be snapshot builds, or null if they do not
exist. Marking these builds as non snapshots threw the release off as it
was looking for -SNAPSHOT builds.

This commit moves the semantic validation (like which version a plugin
was built for or which java version it is compatible with) from reading
a plugin descriptor, leaving the checks on the format of the descriptor
intact.

This commit removes the extra layer of all plugin files existing under
"elasticsearch" within plugin zips. This simplifies building plugin zips
and removes the need for special logic of modules vs plugins.
When Elasticsearch is run as a service we should not use the console
logger otherwise we end up duplicating logging (to the Elasticsearch
logs and whereever standard output is captured). Previously we disabled
the console logger when started as a service using systemd (otherwise
the console logs are duplicated to the journal). This commit does the
same for the Windows service, starting Elasticsearch with the --quiet
flag to avoid standard output being written to the service stdout logs.

Generalizing BWC building so that there is less code to modify for a release. This ensures we do not
need to think about what major or minor version is in the gradle code. It follows the general rules of the
elastic release structure. For more information on the rules, see the VersionCollection's javadoc.
This also removes the additional bwc snapshots that will never be released, such as 6.0.2, which were
being built and tested against every time we ran bwc tests.
Additionally, it creates 4 new projects that correspond to the different types of snapshots that may exist
for a given version. Its possible to now run those individual tasks to work out bwc logic whereas
previously it was impossible and the entire suite of bwc tests had to be run to work out any logic
changes in the build tools' bwc project. Please note that if the project does not make sense for the
version that is current, that an error will be thrown from that individual project if an attempt is made to
run it.
This should allow for automating the version bumps as well, since it removes all the hardcoded version
logic from the configs.
When elasticsearch was originally moved to gradle, the "provided" equivalent in maven had to be done through a plugin. Since then, gradle added the "compileOnly" configuration. This commit removes the provided plugin and replaces all uses with compileOnly.
Plugin descriptors currently contain an elasticsearch version,
which the plugin was built against, and a java version, which the plugin
was built with. These versions are read and validated, but not stored.
This commit keeps them in PluginInfo so they can be used later.
While seeing the elasticsearch version is less interesting (since it is
enforced to match that of the running elasticsearc node), the java
version is interesting since we only validate the format, not the actual
version. This also makes PluginInfo have full parity with the plugin
properties file.
We now read the plugin descriptor when removing an old plugin. This is
to check if we are removing a plugin that is extended by another
plugin. However, when reading the descriptor we enforce that it is of
the same version that we are. This is not the case when a user has
upgraded Elasticsearch and is now trying to remove an old plugin. This
commit fixes this by skipping the version enforcement when reading the
plugin descriptor only when removing a plugin.

The `testMetaPluginPolicyConfirmation` needs to close the file streams it is
iterating over, otherwise some OSes (like Windows) might not be able to delete
all temporary folders, which in turn leads to test failures.
Closes#28415
This commit switches the internal format of the elasticsearch keystore
to no longer use java's KeyStore class, but instead encrypt the binary
data of the secrets using AES-GCM. The cipher key is generated using
PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512. Tests are also added for backcompat reading the v1
and v2 formats.
Currently meta plugins will ask for confirmation of security policy
exceptions for each bundled plugin. This commit collects the necessary
permissions of each bundled plugin, and asks for confirmation of all of
them at the same time.
In order to build a plugin that extends the painless whitelist, the spi
classes must be available to the plugin at compile time. This commit
moves the spi classes into a separate jar which will be published. Any
plugin authors whiching to extend painless through spi would then add a
compileOnly dependency on this jar.
Meta plugins move the unzipped plugin as is, but the inner plugins may
have a different directory name than their corresponding plugin
properties file specifies. This commit fixes installation to rename the
directory if necessary.
This commit modifies the build to require JDK 9 for
compilation. Henceforth, we will compile with a JDK 9 compiler targeting
JDK 8 as the class file format. Optionally, RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME can be set
as the runtime JDK used for running tests. To enable this change, we
separate the meaning of the compiler Java home versus the runtime Java
home. If the runtime Java home is not set (via RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME) then
we fallback to using JAVA_HOME as the runtime Java home. This enables:
- developers only have to set one Java home (JAVA_HOME)
- developers can set an optional Java home (RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME) to test
on the minimum supported runtime
- we can test compiling with JDK 9 running on JDK 8 and compiling with
JDK 9 running on JDK 9 in CI
* This change makes sure that we don't detect a file path containing a ':' as
a maven coordinate (e.g.: `file:C:\path\to\zip`)
* restore test muted on master
This change modifies the installation for a meta plugin,
the content of the config and bin directory inside each bundled plugins are now moved in the meta plugin directory.
So instead of `$configDir/meta-plugin-name/bundled_plugin/name/` the content of the config
for a bundled plugin is now in `$configDir/meta-plugin-name`. Same applies for the bin directory.
This commit adds the ability to package multiple plugins in a single zip.
The zip file for a meta plugin must contains the following structure:
|____elasticsearch/
| |____ <plugin1> <-- The plugin files for plugin1 (the content of the elastisearch directory)
| |____ <plugin2> <-- The plugin files for plugin2
| |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties <-- example contents below
The meta plugin properties descriptor is mandatory and must contain the following properties:
description: simple summary of the meta plugin.
name: the meta plugin name
The installation process installs each plugin in a sub-folder inside the meta plugin directory.
The example above would create the following structure in the plugins directory:
|_____ plugins
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
If the sub plugins contain a config or a bin directory, they are copied in a sub folder inside the meta plugin config/bin directory.
|_____ config
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
|_____ bin
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
The sub-plugins are loaded at startup like normal plugins with the same restrictions; they have a separate class loader and a sub-plugin
cannot have the same name than another plugin (or a sub-plugin inside another meta plugin).
It is also not possible to remove a sub-plugin inside a meta plugin, only full removal of the meta plugin is allowed.
Closes#27316
Otherwise newer versions of Gradle will see the outputs as stale and
remove the directory between having created the directory and copying
files into the directory (leading to the directory being created again,
this time missing some sub-directories).
This commit modifies the BWC build to invoke the Gradle wrapper. The
motivation for this is two-fold:
- BWC versions might be dependent on a different version of Gradle than
the current version of Gradle
- in a follow-up we are going to need to be able to set JAVA_HOME to a
different value than the current value of JAVA_HOME

This commit adds the infrastructure to plugin building and loading to
allow one plugin to extend another. That is, one plugin may extend
another by the "parent" plugin allowing itself to be extended through
java SPI. When all plugins extending a plugin are finished loading, the
"parent" plugin has a callback (through the ExtensiblePlugin interface)
allowing it to reload SPI.
This commit also adds an example plugin which uses as-yet implemented
extensibility (adding to the painless whitelist).
