Currently there are two get aliases apis that both have the same functionality, but have a different response structure. The reason for having 2 apis is historic.
The GET _alias api was added in 0.90.x and is more efficient since it only sends the needed alias data from the cluster state between the master node and the node that received the request. In the GET _aliases api the complete cluster state is send to the node that received the request and then the right information is filtered out and send back to the client.
The GET _aliases api should be removed in favour for the alias api

* `ignore_unavailable` - Controls whether to ignore if any specified indices are unavailable, this includes indices that don't exist or closed indices. Either `true` or `false` can be specified.
* `allow_no_indices` - Controls whether to fail if a wildcard indices expressions results into no concrete indices. Either `true` or `false` can be specified. For example if the wildcard expression `foo*` is specified and no indices are available that start with `foo` then depending on this setting the request will fail. This setting is also applicable when `_all`, `*` or no index has been specified.
* `expand_wildcards` - Controls to what kind of concrete indices wildcard indices expression expand to. If `open` is specified then the wildcard expression if expanded to only open indices and if `closed` is specified then the wildcard expression if expanded only to closed indices. Also both values (`open,closed`) can be specified to expand to all indices.

This commits add doc values support to geo point using the exact same approach
as for numeric data: geo points for a given document are stored uncompressed
and sequentially in a single binary doc values field.
Close#4207
This commit allows to trade precision for memory when storing geo points.
This new field data impl accepts a `precision` parameter that controls the
maximum expected error for storing coordinates. This option can be updated on
a live index with the PUT mapping API.
Default precision is 1cm, which requires 8 bytes per geo-point (50% memory
saving compared to using 2 doubles).

Instead of using the '-f' parameter to start elasticsearch in the
foreground, this is now the default modus.
In order to start elasticsearch in the background, the '-d' parameter
can be used.
Closes#4392
The `text` query was replaced by the `match` query and has been
deprecated for quite a while.
The `field` query should be replaced by a `query_string` query with
the `default_field` specified.
Fixes#4033
This commit changes field data configuration updates so that they are
immediately taken into account for loading new segments. The way it works
is that field data configuration is now cached separately from the field
data cache, meaning that it is now possible to clear the field data
configuration from IndexFieldDataService while the cache will stay around. On
the next time that Elasticsearch will reload field data configuration, it will
check if there is already a cache entry, and reuse it if it exists.
To disable field data loading, all that is required is to change the field
data format to "none" (supported by all field data types) using the update
mapping API. Elasticsearch will then refuse to load field data on any new
segment, but field data which has been loaded on the previous segments will
remain available. So you need to clear the field data cache in order to
reclaim memory (otherwise memory will be reclaimed slower, as segments get
merged).

When the ValuesSource has ordinals, terms ordinals are used as a cache key to
bucket ordinals. This can make terms aggregations on String terms significantly
faster.

The percolator uses this option to deal with the fact that the MemoryIndex doesn't support stored fields,
this is possible b/c the _source of the document being percolated is always present.
Closes#4348
This adds support for Lucene's SimpleQueryParser by adding a new type
of query called the `simple_query_string`. The `simple_query_string`
query is designed to be able to parse human-entered queries without
throwing any exceptions.
Resolves#4159
In order to be sure that memory mapped lucene directories are working
one can configure the kernel about how many memory mapped areas
a process may have. This setting ensure for the debian and redhat initscripts
as well as the systemd startup, that this setting is set high enough.
Closes#4397
This contribution is based on the feedback given in issue #4254 and
issue #4255, and should clear things up, when suggestions are being
removed and not displayed anymore after deletion of data.
The Fast Vector Highlighter can combine matches on multiple fields to
highlight a single field using `matched_fields`. This is most
intuitive for multifields that analyze the same string in different
ways. Example:
{
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "content.plain:running scissors",
"fields": ["content"]
}
},
"highlight": {
"order": "score",
"fields": {
"content": {
"matched_fields": ["content", "content.plain"],
"type" : "fvh"
}
}
}
}
