This PR adds a new thread pool type: `fixed_auto_queue_size`. This thread pool
behaves like a regular `fixed` threadpool, except that every
`auto_queue_frame_size` operations (default: 10,000) in the thread pool,
[Little's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little's_law) is calculated and
used to adjust the pool's `queue_size` either up or down by 50. A minimum and
maximum is taken into account also. When the min and max are the same value, a
regular fixed executor is used instead.
The `SEARCH` threadpool is changed to use this new type of thread pool. However,
the min and max are both set to 1000, meaning auto adjustment is opt-in rather
than opt-out.
Resolves#3890
In scripts (at least some of the languages), the terms dictionary and
postings can be access with the special _index variable. This is for
very advanced use cases which want to do their own scoring. The problem
is segment level statistics must be recomputed for every document.
Additionally, this is not friendly to the terms index caching as the
order of looking up terms should be controlled by lucene.
This change removes _index from scripts. Anyone using it can and should
instead write a Similarity plugin, which is explicitly designed to allow
doing the calculations needed for a relevance score.
closes#19359
Today when an index is `read-only` the index is also blocked from
being deleted which sometimes is undesired since in-order to make
changes to a cluster indices must be deleted to free up space. This is
a likely scenario in a hosted environment when disk-space is limited to switch
indices read-only but allow deletions to free up space.
This commit documents how to write a `ScriptEngine` in order to use
expert internal apis, such as using Lucene directly to find index term
statistics. These documents prepare the way to remove both native
scripts and IndexLookup.
The example java code is actually compiled and tested under a new gradle
subproject for example plugins. This change does not yet breakup
jvm-example into the new examples dir, which should be done separately.

Currently, the get snapshots API (e.g. /_snapshot/{repositoryName}/_all)
provides information about snapshots in the repository, including the
snapshot state, number of shards snapshotted, failures, etc. In order
to provide information about each snapshot in the repository, the call
must read the snapshot metadata blob (`snap-{snapshot_uuid}.dat`) for
every snapshot. In cloud-based repositories, this can be expensive,
both from a cost and performance perspective. Sometimes, all the user
wants is to retrieve all the names/uuids of each snapshot, and the
indices that went into each snapshot, without any of the other status
information about the snapshot. This minimal information can be
retrieved from the repository index blob (`index-N`) without needing to
read each snapshot metadata blob.
This commit enhances the get snapshots API with an optional `verbose`
parameter. If `verbose` is set to false on the request, then the get
snapshots API will only retrieve the minimal information about each
snapshot (the name, uuid, and indices in the snapshot), and only read
this information from the repository index blob, thereby giving users
the option to retrieve the snapshots in a repository in a more
cost-effective and efficient manner.

Adds CONSOLE to cross-cluster-search docs but skips them for testing
because we don't have a second cluster set up. This gets us the
`VIEW IN CONSOLE` and `COPY AS CURL` links and makes sure that they
are valid yaml (not json, technically) but doesn't get testing.
Which is better than we had before.
Adds CONSOLE to the dynamic templates docs and ingest-node docs.
The ingest-node docs contain a *ton* of non-console snippets. We
might want to convert them to full examples later, but that can be

This commit enforces the requirement of Content-Type for the REST layer and removes the deprecated methods in transport
requests and their usages.
While doing this, it turns out that there are many places where *Entity classes are used from the apache http client
libraries and many of these usages did not specify the content type. The methods that do not specify a content type
explicitly have been added to forbidden apis to prevent more of these from entering our code base.

This commit brings the snapshot documentation in conformity
with the CONSOLE format, and fixes the docs so that the documentation
tests can be run against them.
Painless uses Ruby-like method dispatch (reciever type, method name,
and arity) rather than Java-like (reciever type, method name, and
argument compile time types) or Groovy-like method dispatch (receiver
type, method name, and argument run time types). We do this for
mostly good reasons but we never documented it.

Today either all nodes in the cluster connect to remote clusters of only nodes
that have remote clusters configured in their node config. To allow global remote
cluster configuration but restrict connections to a set of nodes in the cluster
this change adds a new setting `search.remote.connect` (defaults to `true`) to allow
to disable remote cluster connections on a per node basis.
This change adds a strict mode for xcontent parsing on the rest layer. The strict mode will be off by default for 5.x and in a separate commit will be enabled by default for 6.0. The strict mode, which can be enabled by setting `http.content_type.required: true` in 5.x, will require that all incoming rest requests have a valid and supported content type header before the request is dispatched. In the non-strict mode, the Content-Type header will be inspected and if it is not present or not valid, we will continue with auto detection of content like we have done previously.
The content type header is parsed to the matching XContentType value with the only exception being for plain text requests. This value is then passed on with the content bytes so that we can reduce the number of places where we need to auto-detect the content type.
As part of this, many transport requests and builders were updated to provide methods that
accepted the XContentType along with the bytes and the methods that would rely on auto-detection have been deprecated.
In the non-strict mode, deprecation warnings are issued whenever a request with body doesn't provide the Content-Type header.

Implemented by wrapping an array of reused `ModuleDateTime`s that

Also improves the error message returned when attempting to modify
the `ScriptdocValues`, removes a couple of allocations, and documents
that the date functions are available in Painless.

Currently, stored scripts use a namespace of (lang, id) to be put, get, deleted, and executed. This is not necessary since the lang is stored with the stored script. A user should only have to specify an id to use a stored script. This change makes that possible while keeping backwards compatibility with the previous namespace of (lang, id). Anywhere the previous namespace is used will log deprecation warnings.
The new behavior is the following:
When a user specifies a stored script, that script will be stored under both the new namespace and old namespace.
Take for example script 'A' with lang 'L0' and data 'D0'. If we add script 'A' to the empty set, the scripts map will be ["A" -- D0, "A#L0" -- D0]. If a script 'A' with lang 'L1' and data 'D1' is then added, the scripts map will be ["A" -- D1, "A#L1" -- D1, "A#L0" -- D0].
When a user deletes a stored script, that script will be deleted from both the new namespace (if it exists) and the old namespace.
Take for example a scripts map with {"A" -- D1, "A#L1" -- D1, "A#L0" -- D0}. If a script is removed specified by an id 'A' and lang null then the scripts map will be {"A#L0" -- D0}. To remove the final script, the deprecated namespace must be used, so an id 'A' and lang 'L0' would need to be specified.
When a user gets/executes a stored script, if the new namespace is used then the script will be retrieved/executed using only 'id', and if the old namespace is used then the script will be retrieved/executed using 'id' and 'lang'
Adds "Appending B. Painless API Reference", a reference of all classes
and methods available from Painless. Removes links to java packages
because they contain methods that we don't expose and don't contain
methods that we do expose (the ones in Augmentation). Instead this
generates a list of every class and every exposed method using the same
type information available to the
interpreter/compiler/whatever-we-call-it. From there you can jump to
the relevant docs.
Right now you build all the asciidoc files by running
```
gradle generatePainlessApi
```
These files are expected to be committed because we build the docs
without running `gradle`.
Also changes the output of `Debug.explain` so that it is easy to
search for the class in the generated reference documentation.
You can also run it in an IDE safely if you pass the path to the
directory in which to generate the docs as the first parameter. It'll
blow away the entire directory an recreate it from scratch so be careful.
And then you can build the docs by running something like:
```
../docs/build_docs.pl --out ../built_docs/ --doc docs/reference/index.asciidoc --open
```
That is, if you have checked out https://github.com/elastic/docs in
`../docs`. Wait a minute or two and your browser will pop open in with
all of Elasticsearch's reference documentation. If you go to
`http://localhost:8000/painless-api-reference.html` you can see this
list. Or you can get there by following the links to `Modules` and
`Scripting` and `Painless` and then clicking the link in the paragraphs
below titled `Appendix B. Painless API Reference`.
I like having these in asciidoc because we can deep link to them from the
rest of the guide with constructs like
`<<painless-api-reference-Object-hashCode-0>>` and
`<<painless-api-reference->>` and we get link checking. Then the only
brittle link maintenance bit is the link generation for javadoc. Which
sucks. But I think it is important that we link to the methods directly
so they are easy to find.

Today when you do not specify a port for an entry in
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts, the default port is the value of the
setting transport.profiles.default.port and falls back to the value of
transport.tcp.port if this is not set. For a node that is explicitly
bound to a different port than the default port, this means that the
default port will be equal to this explicitly bound port. Yet, the docs
say that we fall back to 9300 here. This commit corrects the docs.

Instead of `search.remote.seeds.${clustername}` we now specify the seeds as:
`search.remote.${clustername}.seeds` which is a real list setting compared to an unvalidated
group setting before.
The `Script source settings` section currently states that `false` means scripting is ENABLED.
The other sections seem to indicate that `false` means scripting is DISABLED.
If the current documentation is correct, that would imply that `inline` and `stored` scripting are ENABLED by default, which seems to conflict with all the other sections in the document.
Sends the `error_trace` parameter with all requests sent by the
yaml test framework, including the doc snippet tests. This can be
overridden by settings `error_trace: false`. While this drift's
core's handling of the yaml tests from the client's slightly this
should only be a problem for tests that rely on the default value,
both of which I've fixed by setting the value explicitly.
This also escapes `\n` and `\t` in the `Stash dump on failure` so
the `stack_trace` is more readable.
Also fixes `RestUpdateSettingsAction` to not think of the `error_trace`
parameter as a setting.
Elasticsearch can be run in a few different ways:
- from the command line on Linux and Windows
- as a service on Linux and Windows
on both 32-bit client and 64-bit server VMs. We strive for a great
out-of-the-box experience any of these combinations but today it is
lacking on 32-bit client JVMs and on the Windows service. There are two
deficiencies that arise:
- on any 32-bit client JVM we fail to start out of the box because we
force the server JVM in jvm.options
- when installing the Windows service, the thread stack size must be
specified in jvm.options
This commit attempts to address these deficiencies.
We should continue to force the server JVM because there are systems
where the server JVM is not active by default (e.g., the 32-bit JDK on
Windows). This does mean that if a user tries to run with a client JVM
they will see a failure message at startup but this is the best that we
can do if we want to continue to force the server JVM. Thus, this commit
at least documents this situation.
To improve the situation with installing the Windows service, this
commit adds a default setting for the thread stack size. This default is
chosen based on the default thread stack size across all 64-bit server
JVMs. This means that if a user tries to run with a 32-bit JVM they
could otherwise see significantly higher memory usage (this situation is
complicated, it's really only on Windows where the extra memory usage is
egregious, but cutting into the 32-bit address space on any system is
bad). So this commit makes it so that the out-of-the-box experience is
improved for the Windows service on 64-bit server JVMs and we document
the need to adjust this setting on 32-bit JVMs.
Again, we are focusing on the out-of-the-box experience here and this
means optimizing for the best experience on any 64-bit server JVM as
this covers the vast majority of the user base. The users that are on
32-bit JVMs will suffer a little bit but at least now any user on any
64-bit server JVM can start Elasticsearch out of the box.
Finally, we fix some references to the jvm.options documentation.

* Scripting: Remove groovy scripting language
Groovy was deprecated in 5.0. This change removes it, along with the
legacy default language infrastructure in scripting.
Today we eagerly resolve unicast hosts. This means that if DNS changes,
we will never find the host at the new address. Moreover, a single host
failng to resolve causes startup to abort. This commit introduces lazy
resolution of unicast hosts. If a DNS entry changes, there is an
opportunity for the host to be discovered. Note that under the Java
security manager, there is a default positive cache of infinity for
resolved hosts; this means that if a user does want to operate in an
environment where DNS can change, they must adjust
networkaddress.cache.ttl in their security policy. And if a host fails
to resolve, we warn log the hostname but continue pinging other
configured hosts.
When doing DNS resolutions for unicast hostnames, we wait until the DNS
lookups timeout. This appears to be forty-five seconds on modern JVMs,
and it is not configurable. If we do these serially, the cluster can be
blocked during ping for a lengthy period of time. This commit introduces
doing the DNS lookups in parallel, and adds a user-configurable timeout
for these lookups.

You can use `Debug.explain(someObject)` in painless to throw an

Closes#20263
Implements a null coalescing operator in painless that looks like `?:`. This form was chosen to emulate Groovy's `?:` operator. It is different in that it only coalesces null values, instead of Groovy's `?:` operator which coalesces all falsy values. I believe that makes it the same as Kotlin's `?:` operator. In other languages this operator looks like `??` (C#) and `COALESCE` (SQL) and `:-` (bash).
This operator is lazy, meaning the right hand side is only evaluated at all if the left hand side is null.
This change was reverted after it caused random test failures. This was
due to a copy/paste error in the original PR which caused the mock
version of ClusterInfoService to be used whenever the mock *ZenPing* was
used, and the real ClusterInfoService to be used when MockZenPing was
not used.
Null safe dereferences make handling null or missing values shorter.
Compare without:
```
if (ctx._source.missing != null && ctx._source.missing.foo != null) {
ctx._source.foo_length = ctx.source.missing.foo.length()
}
```
To with:
```
Integer length = ctx._source.missing?.foo?.length();
if (length != null) {
ctx._source.foo_length = length
}
```
Combining this with the as of yet unimplemented elvis operator allows
for very concise defaults for nulls:
```
ctx._source.foo_length = ctx._source.missing?.foo?.length() ?: 0;
```
Since you have to start somewhere, we started with null safe dereferenes.
Anyway, this is a feature borrowed from groovy. Groovy allows writing to
null values like:
```
def v = null
v?.field = 'cat'
```
And the writes are simply ignored. Painless doesn't support this at this
point because it'd be complex to implement and maybe not all that useful.
There is no runtime cost for this feature if it is not used. When it is
used we implement it fairly efficiently, adding a jump rather than a
temporary variable.
This should also work fairly well with doc values.
Refactored ScriptType to clean up some of the variable and method names. Added more documentation. Deprecated the 'in' ParseField in favor of 'stored' to match the indexed scripts being replaced by stored scripts.
Adds support for indexing into lists and arrays with negative
indexes meaning "counting from the back". So for if
`x = ["cat", "dog", "chicken"]` then `x[-1] == "chicken"`.
This adds an extra branch to every array and list access but
some performance testing makes it look like the branch predictor
successfully predicts the branch every time so there isn't a
in execution time for this feature when the index is positive.
When the index is negative performance testing showed the runtime
is the same as writing `x[x.length - 1]`, again, presumably thanks
to the branch predictor.
Those performance metrics were calculated for lists and arrays but
`def`s get roughly the same treatment though instead of inlining
the test they need to make a invoke dynamic so we don't screw up
maps.

>However, the version of the new cluster should be the same or newer than the cluster that was
Afaik, you can't restore a snapshot to a newer cluster that is not consecutively newer (i.e. can't restore 1.x snapshot to a 5.x cluster). This is to clarify the statement above moving forward.
When compiling many dynamically changing scripts, parameterized
scripts (<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/modules-scripting-using.html#prefer-params>)
should be preferred. This enforces a limit to the number of scripts that

This also fixes a bug in `ScriptService` where requests being executed
concurrently on a single node could cause a script to be compiled
multiple times (many in the case of a powerful node with many shards)
due to no synchronization between checking the cache and compiling the
script. There is now synchronization so that a script being compiled
will only be compiled once regardless of the number of concurrent
searches on a node.

The find operator (=~) returns a boolean that is the result of building
a matcher on the lhs with the Pattern on the RHS and calling `find` on
it. Use it like this:
```
if (ctx._source.last =~ /b/)
```
The match operator (==~) returns boolean like find but instead of calling
`find` on the Matcher it calls `matches`.
```
if (ctx._source.last ==~ /[^aeiou].*[aeiou]/)

Finally, if you want the actual matcher you do:
```
Matcher m = /[aeiou]/.matcher(ctx._source.last)

Thread pool settings are no longer dynamically updatable since
da74323141. This commit removes a leftover
note from the thread pool module docs that incorrectly states that
thread pool settings are dynamically updatable.
This commit refactors the handling of thread pool settings so that the
individual settings can be registered rather than registering the top
level group. With this refactoring, individual plugins must now register
their own settings for custom thread pools that they need, but a
dedicated API is provided for this in the thread pool module. This
commit also renames the prefix on the thread pool settings from
"threadpool" to "thread_pool". This enables a hard break on the settings
so that:
- some of the settings can be given more sensible names (e.g., the max
number of threads in a scaling thread pool is now named "max" instead
of "size")
- change the soft limit on the number of threads in the bulk and
indexing thread pools to a hard limit
- the settings names for custom plugins for thread pools can be
prefixed (e.g., "xpack.watcher.thread_pool.size")
- remove dynamic thread pool settings

This removes all the mentions of the sandbox from the script engine
services and permissions model. This means that the following settings
are no longer supported:
```yaml
script.inline: sandbox
script.stored: sandbox
```
Instead, only a `true` or `false` value can be specified.
Since this would otherwise break the default-allow parameter for
languages like expressions, painless, and mustache, all script engines
have been updated to have individual settings, for instance:
```yaml
script.engine.groovy.inline: true
```
Would enable all inline scripts for groovy. (they can still be
overridden on a per-operation basis).
Expressions, Painless, and Mustache all default to `true` for inline,
file, and stored scripts to preserve the old scripting behavior.

Remove performance hack for accessing a document's fields, its not needed.
Add support for accessing is-getter methods like List.isEmpty() as .empty
Closes#18201
This gives better coverage and consistency with the scripting APIs, by
whitelisting the primary search scripting API classes and using them instead
of only Map and List methods.
For example, accessing fields can now be done with `.value` instead of `.0`
because `getValue()` is whitelisted. For now, access to a document's fields in
this way (loads) are fast-pathed in the code, to avoid dynamic overhead.
Access to geo fields and geo distance functions is now supported.
TODO: date support (e.g. whitelist ReadableDateTime methods as a start)
TODO: improve docs (like expressions and groovy have for document's fields)
TODO: remove fast-path hack

Painless: add fielddata accessors (.value/.values/.distance()/etc)
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
* Reorganize scripting documentation
* Further changes to tidy up scripting docs
Closes#18116
* Add note about .lat/lon potentially returning null
* Added .value to expressions example
* Fixed two bad ASCIIDOC links
With this commit we compress HTTP responses provided the client
supports it (as indicated by the HTTP header 'Accept-Encoding').
We're also able to process compressed HTTP requests if needed.
The default compression level is lowered from 6 to 3 as benchmarks
have indicated that this reduces query latency with a negligible
increase in network traffic.
Closes#7309
This commit actually bounds the size of the generic thread pool. The
generic thread pool was of type cached, a thread pool with an unbounded
number of workers and an unbounded work queue. With this commit, the
generic thread pool is now of type scaling. As such, the cached thread
pool type has been removed. By default, the generic thread pool is
constructed with a core pool size of four, a max pool size of 128 and
idle workers can be reaped after a keep-alive time of thirty seconds
expires. The work queue for this thread pool remains unbounded.
With this commit we limit the size of all in-flight requests on
transport level. The size is guarded by a circuit breaker and is
based on the content size of each request.
By default we use 100% of available heap meaning that the parent
circuit breaker will limit the maximum available size. This value
can be changed by adjusting the setting
network.breaker.inflight_requests.limit

This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and
simplify management of JVM options. This separates the configuration of
the JVM from the packaging scripts (bin/elasticsearch*, bin/service.bat,
and init.d/elasticsearch) simplifying end-user operational management of
custom JVM options.
We currently have a `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_client` setting that control whether their ping responses are ignored for master election (which is the current default). With the push to treat client nodes as normal nodes (and promote the transport/rest clients for client work), this should be changed. This commit remove this setting and it's companion `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_data` setting (currently defaulting to false) in favor of singe `discovery.zen.master_election.ignore_non_master_pings` setting with more intuitive name (defaulting to false).

In #17198, we removed suggest transport action, which
used the `suggest` threadpool to execute requests. Now
`suggest` threadpool is unused and suggest requests are
executed on the `search` threadpool.
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
Currently we suggesting users create a Node (using NodeBuilder in 2.x) to have a client that is capable of keeping up-to-date information. This is generally a bad idea as it means elasticsearch has no control over eg max heap size or gc settings, and is also problematic for users because they must deal with dependency collisions (and in 2.x+ dependencies of elasticsearch itself).
A better alternative, and what we should document, is to run a local elasticsearch server using bin/elasticsearch, and then use the transport client to connect to that local node. This local connection is virtually free, and allows the client code to be completely isolated from the elasticsearch process. Plugins are then also easy to deal with: just install them in elasticsearch as usual.

2.x has show so far that running with security manager is the way to go.
This commit make this non-optional. Users that need to pass their own rules
can still do this via the system configuration for the security manager. They
can even opt out of all security that way.
