Adds a 'text analysis overview' page to the analysis topic docs.
The goals of this page are:
* Concisely summarize the analysis process while avoiding in-depth concepts, tutorials, or API examples
* Explain why analysis is important, largely through highlighting problems with full-text searches missing analysis
* Highlight how analysis can be used to improve search results
The Analysis docs mention including a default analyzer in the index settings. However, no example snippet is included.
This adds an example snippet that users can easily copy and adjust.
This PR adds per-field metadata that can be set in the mappings and is later
returned by the field capabilities API. This metadata is completely opaque to
Elasticsearch but may be used by tools that index data in Elasticsearch to
communicate metadata about fields with tools that then search this data. A
typical example that has been requested in the past is the ability to attach
a unit to a numeric field.
In order to not bloat the cluster state, Elasticsearch requires that this
metadata be small:
- keys can't be longer than 20 chars,
- values can only be numbers or strings of no more than 50 chars - no inner
arrays or objects,
- the metadata can't have more than 5 keys in total.
Given that metadata is opaque to Elasticsearch, field capabilities don't try to
do anything smart when merging metadata about multiple indices, the union of
all field metadatas is returned.
Here is how the meta might look like in mappings:
```json
{
"properties": {
"latency": {
"type": "long",
"meta": {
"unit": "ms"
}
}
}
}
```
And then in the field capabilities response:
```json
{
"latency": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggreggatable": true,
"meta": {
"unit": [ "ms" ]
}
}
}
}
```
When there are no conflicts, values are arrays of size 1, but when there are
conflicts, Elasticsearch includes all unique values in this array, without
giving ways to know which index has which metadata value:
```json
{
"latency": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggreggatable": true,
"meta": {
"unit": [ "ms", "ns" ]
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#33267
#43007 restructured the SQL REST API docs so they display across several pages.
This updates up a reference that assumes a single page in the "Paginating through a large response" section. It also reformats a tip for the Kibana console.
Closes#50688
The docs/reference/redirects.asciidoc file stores a list of relocated or
deleted pages for the Elasticsearch Reference documentation.
This prunes several older redirects that are no longer needed.
If `geo_point fields` are multi-valued, using `geo_centroid` as a
sub-agg to `geohash_grid` could result in centroids outside of bucket
boundaries.
This adds a related warning to the geo_centroid agg docs.
Adds a `force` parameter to the delete data frame analytics
request. When `force` is `true`, the action force-stops the
jobs and then proceeds to the deletion. This can be used in
order to delete a non-stopped job with a single request.

Backport of #50553
This intervals source will return terms that are similar to an input term, up to
an edit distance defined by fuzziness, similar to FuzzyQuery.

* Docs: Refine note about `after_key`
I was curious about composite aggregations, specifically I wanted to
know how to write a composite aggregation that had all of its buckets
filtered out so you *had* to use the `after_key`. Then I saw that we've
declared composite aggregations not to work with pipelines in #44180. So
I'm not sure you *can* do that any more. Which makes the note about
`after_key` inaccurate. This rejiggers that section of the docs a little
so it is more obvious that you send the `after_key` back to us. And so
it is more obvious that you should *only* use the `after_key` that we
give you rather than try to work it out for yourself.

The cat nodes API performs a `ClusterStateAction` then a `NodesInfoAction`.
Today it accepts the `?local` parameter and passes this to the
`ClusterStateAction` but this parameter has no effect on the `NodesInfoAction`.
This is surprising, because `GET _cat/nodes?local` looks like it might be a
completely local call but in fact it still depends on every node in the
cluster.
This commit deprecates the `?local` parameter on this API so that it can be
removed in 8.0.
Relates #50088
PR #44238 changed several links related to the Elasticsearch search request body API. This updates several places still using outdated links or anchors.
This will ultimately let us remove some redirects related to those link changes.
The docs/reference/redirects.asciidoc file stores a list of relocated or
deleted pages for the Elasticsearch Reference documentation.
This prunes several older redirects that are no longer needed and
don't require work to fix broken links in other repositories.
Percentile aggregations are non-deterministic. A percentile aggregation
can produce different results even when using the same data.
Based on [this discuss post][0], the non-deterministic property stems
from processes in Lucene that can affect the order in which docs are
provided to the aggregation.
This adds a warning stating that the aggregation is non-deterministic
and what that means.

File scripts were removed in 6.0 with #24627.
This removes an outdated file scripts reference from the conditional clauses section of the search templates docs.
* Add ILM histore store index (#50287)
* Add ILM histore store index
This commit adds an ILM history store that tracks the lifecycle
execution state as an index progresses through its ILM policy. ILM
history documents store output similar to what the ILM explain API
returns.
An example document with ALL fields (not all documents will have all
fields) would look like:
```json
{
"@timestamp": 1203012389,
"policy": "my-ilm-policy",
"index": "index-2019.1.1-000023",
"index_age":123120,
"success": true,
"state": {
"phase": "warm",
"action": "allocate",
"step": "ERROR",
"failed_step": "update-settings",
"is_auto-retryable_error": true,
"creation_date": 12389012039,
"phase_time": 12908389120,
"action_time": 1283901209,
"step_time": 123904107140,
"phase_definition": "{\"policy\":\"ilm-history-ilm-policy\",\"phase_definition\":{\"min_age\":\"0ms\",\"actions\":{\"rollover\":{\"max_size\":\"50gb\",\"max_age\":\"30d\"}}},\"version\":1,\"modified_date_in_millis\":1576517253463}",
"step_info": "{... etc step info here as json ...}"
},
"error_details": "java.lang.RuntimeException: etc\n\tcaused by:etc etc etc full stacktrace"
}
```
These documents go into the `ilm-history-1-00000N` index to provide an
audit trail of the operations ILM has performed.
This history storage is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting
`index.lifecycle.history_index_enabled` to `false.`
Resolves#49180
* Make ILMHistoryStore.putAsync truly async (#50403)
This moves the `putAsync` method in `ILMHistoryStore` never to block.
Previously due to the way that the `BulkProcessor` works, it was possible
for `BulkProcessor#add` to block executing a bulk request. This was bad
as we may be adding things to the history store in cluster state update
threads.
This also moves the index creation to be done prior to the bulk request
execution, rather than being checked every time an operation was added
to the queue. This lessens the chance of the index being created, then
deleted (by some external force), and then recreated via a bulk indexing
request.
