When we implemented `refresh=wait_for` I added a test with the wrong
name. This caused us to not run it. The test asserted that running
several operations with `refresh=wait_for` did not fail if the index was
`_close`d while the operations were waiting. But to be honest, failure
here isn't that bad. The index being waited on is closed. You can't do
anything with it any way. The most important thing is actually that
these operations don't hang forever. Because hanging forever means that
the resources used by the operations aren't freed.
Anyway, when I noticed the error I reenabled the test. But they don't
pass consistently because *sometimes* the operations being tested fail.
They don't seem to hang and they always fail with "this index is closed
so you can't do anything with it" sorts of messages.
When the test started failing we disabled it again. This reenables the
test but causes it to ignore these "index is closed" failures. We'd
prefer they not happen at all but in the grand scheme of things they are
fine and making sure these operations don't hang is much more important.
This also updates the test to bring it more in line with my current
understanding of the "right" way to use the low level rest client.
Changes the default of the `node.name` setting to the hostname of the
machine on which Elasticsearch is running. Previously it was the first 8
characters of the node id. This had the advantage of producing a unique
name even when the node name isn't configured but the disadvantage of
being unrecognizable and not being available until fairly late in the
startup process. Of particular interest is that it isn't available until
after logging is configured. This forces us to use a volatile read
whenever we add the node name to the log.
Using the hostname is available immediately on startup and is generally
recognizable but has the disadvantage of not being unique when run on
machines that don't set their hostname or when multiple elasticsearch
processes are run on the same host. I believe that, taken together, it
is better to default to the hostname.
1. Running multiple copies of Elasticsearch on the same node is a fairly
advanced feature. We do it all the as part of the elasticsearch build
for testing but we make sure to set the node name then.
2. That the node.name defaults to some flavor of "localhost" on an
unconfigured box feels like it isn't going to come up too much in
production. I expect most production deployments to at least set the
hostname.
As a bonus, production deployments need no longer set the node name in
most cases. At least in my experience most folks set it to the hostname
anyway.
I created a test a few days ago and declared a package that doesn't line
up with the directory structure. Oops. I a little surprised nothing
complained. But this fixes it.
I disabled one branch a few hours ago because it failed in CI. It looks
like other branches can also fail so I'll disable them as well and look
more closely on Monday.
Change the logging infrastructure to handle when the node name isn't
available in `elasticsearch.yml`. In that case the node name is not
available until long after logging is configured. The biggest change is
that the node name logging no longer fixed at pattern build time.
Instead it is read from a `SetOnce` on every print. If it is unset it is
printed as `unknown` so we have something that fits in the pattern.
On normal startup we don't log anything until the node name is available
so we never see the `unknown`s.
In #29623 we added `Request` object flavored requests to the low level
REST client and in #30315 we deprecated the old `performRequest`s. This
changes all calls in the `client` and `distribution` projects to use
the new versions.

This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
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.
