To support the `_recovery` API, the recovery process keeps track of current progress in a class called RecoveryState. This class currently have some issues, mostly around concurrency (see #6644 ). This PR cleans it up as well as other issues around it:
- Make the Index subsection API cleaner:
- remove redundant information - all calculation is done based on the underlying file map
- clearer definition of what is what: total files, vs reused files (local files that match the source) vs recovered files (copied over). % based progress is reported based on recovered files only.
- cleaned up json response to match other API (sadly this breaks the structure). We now properly report human values for dates and other units.
- Add more robust unit testing
- Detail flag was passed along as state (it's now a ToXContent param)
- State lookup during reporting is now always done via the IndexShard , no more fall backs to many other classes.
- Cleanup APIs around time and move the little computations to the state class as opposed to doing them out of the API
I also improved error messages out of the REST testing infra for things I run into.
Closes#6644Closes#9811
Adds a new API endpoint at /_recovery as well as to the Java API. The
recovery API allows one to see the recovery status of all shards in the
cluster. It will report on percent complete, recovery type, and which
files are copied.
Closes#4637
