The posix_spawn method of launching a process from Java
goes via an intermediate process called jspawnhelper
which lives in the lib directory rather than the bin
directory and hence got missed by the original chmod
loop. This change adds jspawnhelper as a special case.
It's the only program that's in the lib directory in a
macOS JDK 11.
* Bundle java in distributions
Setting up a jdk is currently a required external step when installing
elasticsearch. This is particularly problematic for the rpm/deb packages
as installing a jdk in the same package installation command does not
guarantee any order, so must be done in separate steps. Additionally,
JAVA_HOME must be set and often causes problems in selecting a correct
jdk when, for example, the system java is an older unsupported version.
This commit bundles platform specific openjdks into each distribution.
In addition to eliminating the issues above, it also presents future
possible improvements like using jlink to build jdk images only
containing modules that elasticsearch uses.

* Back port build changes from #39102
This back-ports how versions are determined and bwc test are set up from
#39102 without enabling the bwc from current version tests so it's
easier/possible to backmerge future buld changes.
It's expected that the tets are lacking many of the required fixes in
this version to enable them.
The integ tests currently use the raw zip project name as the
distribution type. This commit simplifies this specification to be
"default" or "oss". Whether zip or tar is used should be an internal
implementation detail of the integ test setup, which can (in the future)
be platform specific.
* Remove BouncyCastle dependency from runtime
This commit introduces a new gradle project that contains
the classes that have a dependency on BouncyCastle. For
the default distribution, It builds a jar from those and
in puts it in a subdirectory of lib
(/tools/security-cli) along with the BouncyCastle jars.
This directory is then passed in the
ES_ADDITIONAL_CLASSPATH_DIRECTORIES of the CLI tools
that use these classes.
BouncyCastle is removed as a runtime dependency (remains
as a compileOnly one) from x-pack core and x-pack security.
The java version checker requires being written with java 7 APIs.
In order to use java 8 apis in other launcher utilities, this commit
moves the java version checker back to its own jar.
This commit moves the default location of the full dependencies report
to be under the reports directory to align it with the location for the
dependenciesInfo task output.
A previous commit tried to add task dependencies for the
:distribution:generateDependenciesReport task so that a user did not
have to run "dependenciesInfo
:distribution:generateDependenciesReport". However this method did not
reliably add all task dependencies due to task ordering issues in
previous versions of Gradle and our build. This commit removes this for
now and a user will continue to have to run "dependenciesInfo
:distribution:generateDependenciesReport".
The goal of this commit is to address unknown licenses when producing
the dependencies info report. We have two different checks that we run
on licenses. The first check is whether or not we have stashed a copy of
the license text for a dependency in the repository. The second is to
map every dependency to a license type (e.g., BSD 3-clause). The problem
here is that the way we were handling licenses in the second check
differs from how we handle licenses in the first check. The first check
works by finding a license file with the name of the artifact followed
by the text -LICENSE.txt. Yet in some cases we allow mapping an artifact
name to another name used to check for the license (e.g., we map
lucene-.* to lucene, and opensaml-.* to shibboleth. The second check
understood the first way of looking for a license file but not the
second way. So in this commit we teach the second check about the
mappings from artifact names to license names. We do this by copying the
configuration from the dependencyLicenses task to the dependenciesInfo
task and then reusing the code from the first check in the second
check. There were some other challenges here though. For example,
dependenciesInfo was checking too many dependencies. For now, we should
only be checking direct dependencies and leaving transitive dependencies
from another org.elasticsearch artifact to that artifact (we want to do
this differently in a follow-up). We also want to disable
dependenciesInfo for projects that we do not publish, users only care
about licenses they might be exposed to if they use our assembled
products. With all of the changes in this commit we have eliminated all
unknown licenses. A follow-up will enforce that when we add a new
dependency it does not get mapped to unknown, these will be forbidden in
the future. Therefore, with this change and earlier changes are left
having no unknown licenses and two custom licenses; custom here means it
does not map to an SPDX license type. Those two licenses are xz and
ldapsdk. A future change will not allow additional custom licenses
unless they are explicitly whitelisted. This ensures that if a new
dependency is added it is mapped to an SPDX license or mapped to custom
because it does not have an SPDX license.
We sign our official plugins yet this is not well-advertised and not at
all consumed during plugin installation. For plugins that are installed
over the intertubes, verifying that the downloaded artifact is signed by
our signing key would establish both integrity and validity of the
downloaded artifact. The chain of trust here is simple: our installable
artifacts (archive and package distributions) so that if a user trusts
our packages via their signatures, and our plugin installer (which would
be executing trusted code) verifies the downloaded plugin, then the user
can trust the downloaded plugin too. This commit adds verification of
official plugins downloaded during installation. We do not add
verification for offline plugin installs; a user can download our
signatures and verify the artifacts themselves.
This commit also needs to solve a few interesting challenges. One of
these is that we want the bouncy castle JARs on the classpath only for
the plugin installer, but not for the runtime
Elasticsearch. Additionally, we want these JARs to not be present for
the JAR hell checks. To address this, we shift these JARs into a
sub-directory of lib (lib/tools/plugin-cli) that is only loaded for the
plugin installer, and in the plugin installer we filter any JARs in this
directory from the JAR hell check.
If you have an unusual umask (e.g., 0002) and clone the GitHub
repository then files that we stick into our packages like the
README.textile and the license will have a file mode of 0664 on disk yet
we expect them to be 0644. Additionally, the same thing happens with
compiled artifacts like JARs. We try to set a default file mode yet it
does not seem to take everywhere. This commit adds explicit file modes
in some places that we were relying on the defaults to ensure that the
built artifacts have a consistent file mode regardless of the underlying
build host.
This commit removes xpack from being a meta-plugin-as-a-module.
It also fixes a couple tests which were missing task dependencies, which
failed once the gradle execution order changed.
With the opening of xpack, we still retained a run task within
:x-pack:plugin. However, the root level run task also runs with the
default distribution. This change removes the extra run task inside
xpack in favor of using the root level task, and moves the
license/configuration code for run into the main run configuration.
Adds tasks that check that the all jars that we build have LICENSE.txt
and NOTICE.txt files and that the files are correct. Sets check to
depend on these task.
This is mostly there for extra parnoia because we automatically
configure all Jar tasks to include the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt
files anyway. But it is quite possible to add configuration to those
tasks that would override either file.
This causes check to depend on several more things than it used to.
Take, for example, javadoc:
check depends on the new verifyJavadocJarNotice which depends on
extractJavadocJar which depends on javadocJar which depends on
javadoc, this check now depends on javadoc.
This commit adds some build time checks that the archive distributions
and package distributions contain the appropriate license and notice
files, and the package distributions contain the appropriate license
metadata.
This commit adds the distribution type to the startup scripts so that we
can discern from log output and the main response the type of the
distribution (deb/rpm/tar/zip).
This commit moves the apache and elastic license files into a new
root level `licenses` directory and rewrites the top level LICENSE.txt
to clarify the repository has a mix of apache and elastic licensed code.
This commit adds license metadata to rpm and deb packages. Additionally,
it makes the copyright file for deb files follow the machine readable
specification, and sets the correct license text based on the oss vs
default deb packages.
This commit adds the distribution flavor (default versus oss) to the
build process which is passed through the startup scripts to
Elasticsearch. This change will be used to customize the message on
attempting to install/remove x-pack based on the distribution flavor.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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).
* Adds task dependenciesInfo to BuildPlugin to generate a CSV file with dependencies information (name,version,url,license)
* Adds `ConcatFilesTask.groovy` to concatenates multiple files into one
* Adds task `:distribution:generateDependenciesReport` to concatenate `dependencies.csv` files into a single file (`es-dependencies.csv` by default)
# Examples:
$ gradle dependenciesInfo :distribution:generateDependenciesReport
## Use `csv` system property to customize the output file path
$ gradle dependenciesInfo :distribution:generateDependenciesReport -Dcsv=/tmp/elasticsearch-dependencies.csv
## When branch is not master, use `build.branch` system property to generate correct licenses URLs
$ gradle dependenciesInfo :distribution:generateDependenciesReport -Dbuild.branch=6.x -Dcsv=/tmp/elasticsearch-dependencies.csv
We have tests that manually unpackage the RPM and Debian package
distributions and start a cluster manually (not from the service) and
run a basic suite of integration tests against them. This is problematic
because it is not how the packages are intended to be used (instead,
they are intended to be installed using the package installation tools,
and started as services) and so violates assumptions that we make about
directory paths. This commit removes these integration tests, instead
relying on the packaging tests to ensure the packages are not
broken. Additionally, we add a sanity check that the package
distributions can be unpackaged. Finally, with this change we can remove
some leniency from elasticsearch-env about checking for the existence of
the environment file which the leniency was there solely for these
integration tests.

JDK 9 has removed JVM options that were valid in JDK 8 (e.g., GC logging
flags) and replaced them with new flags that are not available in JDK
8. This means that a single JVM options file can no longer apply to JDK
8 and JDK 9, complicating development, complicating our packaging story,
and complicating operations. This commit extends the JVM options syntax
to specify the range of versions the option applies to. If the running
JVM matches the range of versions, the flag will be used to start the
JVM otherwise the flag will be ignored.
We implement this parser in Java for simplicity, and with this we start
our first step towards a Java launcher.

For too long we have been groping around in the dark when faced with GC
issues because we rarely have GC logs at our disposal. This commit
enables GC logging by default out of the box.

The JVM defaults to dumping the heap to the working directory of
Elasticsearch. For the RPM and Debian packages, this location is
/usr/share/elasticsearch. This directory is not writable by the
elasticsearch user, so by default heap dumps in this situation are
lost. This commit modifies the packaging for the RPM and Debian packages
to set the heap dump path to /var/lib/elasticsearch as the default
location for dumping the heap. This location is writable by the
elasticsearch user by default. We add documentation of this important
setting if /var/lib/elasticsearch is not suitable for receiving heap
dumps.

The environment variable CONF_DIR was previously inconsistently used in
our packaging to customize the location of Elasticsearch configuration
files. The importance of this environment variable has increased
starting in 6.0.0 as it's now used consistently to ensure Elasticsearch
and all secondary scripts (e.g., elasticsearch-keystore) all use the
same configuration. The name CONF_DIR is there for legacy reasons yet
it's too generic. This commit renames CONF_DIR to ES_PATH_CONF.

Today our shell scripts march on if they encounter an error during
execution. One place that this actually causes a problem is with the
Java version checker. What can happen is this: if the user botches their
installation so that the JavaVersionChecker can not be found on the
classpath, when we attempt to run the Java version checker, first an
error message that the class can not be found is displayed, and then we
print a message that their version of Java is not compatible; this
happens even if they are using a Java 8 installation. The problem is
that we should have immediately aborted when the class could not be
loaded. Since we do not exit when the shell script encounters an error,
we end up conflating failue to run the version check with a failed
version check. Instead, we really should abort the moment that one of
our scripts encounters an error. To do this, we make the following
changes:
- enable set -e and set -o pipefail
- make the Java version checker responsible for printing the error
message to the console
- remove the exit status check from the scripts
- actually on Windows, we still have to check the exit status because
there is no equivalent of set -e
- when we check for daemonization, we can no longer check the exit
status from grep because a failed grep will abort the script;
instead, we move the grep execution to be the condition for the if as
this does not trip the set -e failure conditions
- we should source elasticsearch-env before doing anything, so we move
the definition of parse_jvm_options below sourcing elasticsearch-env
- we make consistent all places where we use a subshell to use
backticks

This commit introduces the elasticsearch-env script. The purpose of this
script is threefold:
- vastly simplify the various scripts used in Elasticsearch
- provide a script that can be included in other scripts in the
Elasticsearch ecosystem (e.g., plugins)
- correctly establish the environment for all scripts (e.g., so that
users can run `elasticsearch-keystore` from a package distribution
without having to worry about setting `CONF_DIR` first, otherwise the
keystore would be created in the wrong location)

This commit changes the default heap size to 1 GB. Experimenting with
elasticsearch is often done on laptops, and 1 GB is much friendlier to
laptop memory. It does put more pressure on the gc, but the tradeoff is
a smaller default footprint. Users running in production can (and
should) adjust the heap size as necessary for their usecase.
This commit removes the default path settings for data and logs. With
this change, we now ship the packages with these settings set in the
elasticsearch.yml configuration file rather than going through the
default.path.data and default.path.logs dance that we went through in
the past.

Removes the `distribution:bwc` project in favor of
`distribution:bwc-release-snapshot` and
`distribution:bwc-stable-snapshot`.
`distribution:bwc-release-snapshot` builds a snapshot of the
latest release branch (5.4 now) if needed for backwards
compatibility. `distribution:bwc-stable-snapshot` builds a
snapshot of the latest stable branch (5.x now) if needed for
backwards compatibility.
Some packaging tests depend on snapshot versions of packaging
distributions yet the build does not use a repository that includes such
distributions. While we could add such a repository, a better strategy
is to follow our approach for other BWC tests where we depend on a
locally-compiled archive distribution. This commit adds a local
compilation of packaging artifacts and substitutes these anywhere that
we would otherwise depend on a snapshot of these artifacts.
