When waiting indefinitely for a new cluster state in a test,
TestClusterService#add will throw a NullPointerException if the timeout
is null. Instead, TestClusterService#add should guard against a null
timeout and not even attempt to add a notification for the timeout
expiring. Note that the usage of null is the agreed upon contract for
specifying an indefinite wait from ClusterStateObserver.
DedicatedClusterSnapshotRestoreIT#testRestoreIndexWithMissingShards took ~1.5 min to finish
due to timeouts that are applied if not all shards are allocated. Now that the index that has
unallocated shareds is not refreshed the test is more reasonable and runs in 15 sec
Today we throttle recoveries only for incoming recoveries. Nodes that have a lot
of primaries can get overloaded due to too many recoveries. To still keep that at bay
we limit the number of threads that are sending files to the target to overcome this problem.
The right solution here is to also throttle the outgoing recoveries that are today unbounded on
the master and don't start the recovery until we have enough resources on both source and target nodes.
The concurrency aspects of the recovery source also added a lot of complexity and additional threadpools
that are hard to configure. This commit removes the concurrent streamns notion completely and sends files
in the thread that drives the recovery simplifying the recovery code considerably.
Outgoing recoveries are not throttled on the master via a allocation decider.
Today the logic to async - commit the translog is in every translog instance
itself. While the setting is a per index setting we manageing it per shard. This
polluts the translog code and can more easily be managed in IndexService.
Today we have two variants of translogs for indexing. We only recommend the buffered
one which also has a 20% advantage in indexing speed. This commit removes the option and defaults
to the buffered case. It also hard-wires the translog buffer to 8kb instead of 64kb. We used to
adjust that buffer based on if the shard is active or not, this code has also been removed and
instead we just keep an 8kb buffer arround.
This commit removes `index.translog.flush_threshold_ops` and `index.translog.disable_flush`
in favor of `index.translog.flush_threshold_size`. The number of operations is meaningless by itself and
can easily be turned into a size value with knowledge of the data. Disabling the flush is only useful in
tests and we can set the size value to a really high value. If users really need to do this they can
also apply a very high value like `1PB`.
This change adds a Fixture class for use by gradle. A Fixture is an
external process that integration tests will use. It can be added as a
dependsOn for integTest, and will automatically be shutdown upon success
or failure, as well as relevant information dumped on failure. There is
also an example fixture in this change.
