This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).
Relates #33028
This commit adds a new single value metric aggregation that calculates
the statistic called median absolute deviation, which is a measure of
variability that works on more types of data than standard deviation
Our calculation of MAD is approximated using t-digests. In the collect
phase, we collect each value visited into a t-digest. In the reduce
phase, we merge all value t-digests, then create a t-digest of
deviations using the first t-digest's median and centroids
When combine_script and reduce_script were made into required
parameters for Scripted Metric aggregations in #33452, the docs were
not updated to reflect that. This marks those parameters as required
in the documentation.
* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
The main benefit of the upgrade for users is the search optimization for top scored documents when the total hit count is not needed. However this optimization is not activated in this change, there is another issue opened to discuss how it should be integrated smoothly.
Some comments about the change:
* Tests that can produce negative scores have been adapted but we need to forbid them completely: #33309Closes#32899
Adds a new single-value metrics aggregation that computes the weighted
average of numeric values that are extracted from the aggregated
documents. These values can be extracted from specific numeric
fields in the documents.
When calculating a regular average, each datapoint has an equal "weight"; it
contributes equally to the final value. In contrast, weighted averages
scale each datapoint differently. The amount that each datapoint contributes
to the final value is extracted from the document, or provided by a script.
As a formula, a weighted average is the `∑(value * weight) / ∑(weight)`
A regular average can be thought of as a weighted average where every value has
an implicit weight of `1`.
Closes#15731
* Migrate scripted metric aggregation scripts to ScriptContext design #29328
* Rename new script context container class and add clarifying comments to remaining references to params._agg(s)
* Misc cleanup: make mock metric agg script inner classes static
* Move _score to an accessor rather than an arg for scripted metric agg scripts
This causes the score to be evaluated only when it's used.
* Documentation changes for params._agg -> agg
* Migration doc addition for scripted metric aggs _agg object change
* Rename "agg" Scripted Metric Aggregation script context variable to "state"
* Rename a private base class from ...Agg to ...State that I missed in my last commit
* Clean up imports after merge
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).
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.
Closes#27750Closes#27751
Also include _type and _id for parent/child hits inside inner hits.
In the case of top_hits aggregation the nested search hits are
directly returned and are not grouped by a root or parent document, so
it is important to include the _id and _index attributes in order to know
to what documents these nested search hits belong to.
Closes#27053
Today we require users to prepare their indices for split operations.
Yet, we can do this automatically when an index is created which would
make the split feature a much more appealing option since it doesn't have
any 3rd party prerequisites anymore.
This change automatically sets the number of routinng shards such that
an index is guaranteed to be able to split once into twice as many shards.
The number of routing shards is scaled towards the default shard limit per index
such that indices with a smaller amount of shards can be split more often than
larger ones. For instance an index with 1 or 2 shards can be split 10x
(until it approaches 1024 shards) while an index created with 128 shards can only
be split 3x by a factor of 2. Please note this is just a default value and users
can still prepare their indices with `index.number_of_routing_shards` for custom
splitting.
NOTE: this change has an impact on the document distribution since we are changing
the hash space. Documents are still uniformly distributed across all shards but since
we are artificually changing the number of buckets in the consistent hashign space
document might be hashed into different shards compared to previous versions.
This is a 7.0 only change.
Due to a change happened via #26102 to make the nested source consistent
with or without source filtering, the _source of a nested inner hit was
always wrapped in the parent path. This turned out to be not ideal for
users relying on the nested source, as it would require additional parsing
on the client side. This change fixes this, the _source of nested inner hits
is now no longer wrapped by parent json objects, irregardless of whether
the _source is included as is or source filtering is used.
Internally source filtering and highlighting relies on the fact that the
_source of nested inner hits are accessible by its full field path, so
in order to now break this, the conversion of the _source into its binary
form is performed in FetchSourceSubPhase, after any potential source filtering
is performed to make sure the structure of _source of the nested inner hit
is consistent irregardless if source filtering is performed.

This commit adds back "id" as the key within a script to specify a
stored script (which with file scripts now gone is no longer ambiguous).
It also adds "source" as a replacement for "code". This is in an attempt
to normalize how scripts are specified across both put stored scripts and script usages, including search template requests. This also deprecates the old inline/stored keys.
Currently we don't write the count value to the geo_centroid aggregation rest response,
but it is provided via the java api and the count() method in the GeoCentroid interface.
We should add this parameter to the rest output and also provide it via the getProperty()
method.
We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.
Some notes about the change:
- it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
- it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
- two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
Turns the top example in each of the geo aggregation docs into a working
example that can be opened in CONSOLE. Subsequent examples can all also
be opened in console and will work after you've run the first example.
All examples are tested as part of the build.
This adds the `COPY AS CURL` and `VIEW IN CONSOLE` buttons to the
docs and makes the build execute the snippets as part of `docs:check`.
Relates to #18160
Add unit tests for `TopHitsAggregator` and convert some snippets in
docs for `top_hits` aggregation to `// CONSOLE`.
Relates to #22278
Relates to #18160
Adds the `VIEW IN CONSOLE` and `COPY AS CURL` links to the snippets
in the `value_count` docs and causes the build to execute the snippets
for testing.
