Changes:
* Moves `Retrieve selected fields` to its own page and adds a title abbreviation.
* Adds existing script and stored fields content to `Retrieve selected fields`
* Adds a xref for `Retrieve selected fields` to `Search your data`
* Adds related redirects and updates existing xrefs
Plugin discovery documentation contained information about installing
Elasticsearch 2.0 and installing an oracle JDK, both of which is no
longer valid.
While noticing that the instructions used cleartext HTTP to install
packages, this commit replaces HTTPs links instead of HTTP where possible.
In addition a few community links have been removed, as they do not seem
to exist anymore.

Moves the source filtering example snippets form the "Request body
search" API docs page to the "Return fields in a search" section of the
"Run a search" page.
Generally we don't advocate for using `stored_fields`, and we're interested in
eventually removing the need for this parameter. So it's best to avoid using
stored fields in our docs examples when it's not actually necessary.
Individual changes:
* Avoid using 'stored_fields' in our docs.
* When defining script fields in top-hits, de-emphasize stored fields.
Reworks the `from / size` content to `Paginate search results`.
Moves those docs from the request body search API page (slated for
deletion) to the `Run a search` tutorial docs.
Also adds some notes to the `from` and `size` param docs.

Customers occasionally discover a known behavior in Elasticsearch's pagination that does not appear to be documented. This warning is intended to educate customers of this behavior while still highlighting alternative solutions.
Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.
Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.
Moves the following API sections under the REST APIs navigations:
- API Conventions
- Document APIs
- Search APIs
- Index APIs (previously named Indices APIs)
- cat APIs
- Cluster APIs
Other supporting changes:
- Removes the previous index APIs page under REST APIs. Adds a redirect for the removed page.
- Removes several [partintro] macros so the docs build correctly.
- Changes anchors for pages that become sections of a parent page.
- Adds several redirects for existing pages that become sections of a parent page.
This commit re-applies changes from #44238. Changes from that PR were reverted due to broken links in several repos. This commit adds redirects for those broken links.
Adding notes to the existing docs about how using `preference` might increase
request cache utilization but also add warning about the downsides.
Closes#24278
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.
This change adds an option to convert a `date` field to nanoseconds resolution
and a `date_nanos` field to millisecond resolution when sorting.
The resolution of the sort can be set using the `numeric_type` option of the
field sort builder. The conversion is done at the shard level and is restricted
to dates from 1970 to 2262 for the nanoseconds resolution in order to avoid
numeric overflow.
This change adds an option to the `FieldSortBuilder` that allows to transform the type
of a numeric field into another. Possible values for this option are `long` that transforms
the source field into an integer and `double` that transforms the source field into a floating point.
This new option is useful for cross-index search when the sort field is mapped differently on some
indices. For instance if a field is mapped as a floating point in one index and as an integer in another
it is possible to align the type for both indices using the `numeric_type` option:
```
{
"sort": {
"field": "my_field",
"numeric_type": "double" <1>
}
}
```
<1> Ensure that values for this field are transformed to a floating point if needed.
Coalesces two calls into one in a scroll example so all callouts are at
the end of the line. This is the only sort of callouts that are
supported by asciidoctor and we'd like to start building our docs with
asciidoctor.
At present we don't have any mechanism to stop folks adding more inline
callouts but we ought to be able to have one in a few weeks. For now,
though, removing these inline callouts is a step in the right direction.
Relates to #38335
Doc-value fields now return a value that is based on the mappings rather than
the script implementation by default.
This deprecates the special `use_field_mapping` docvalue format which was added
in #29639 only to ease the transition to 7.x and it is not necessary anymore in
7.0.
