A voting-only master-eligible node is a node that can participate in master elections but will not act
as a master in the cluster. In particular, a voting-only node can help elect another master-eligible
node as master, and can serve as a tiebreaker in elections. High availability (HA) clusters require at
least three master-eligible nodes, so that if one of the three nodes is down, then the remaining two
can still elect a master amongst them-selves. This only requires one of the two remaining nodes to
have the capability to act as master, but both need to have voting powers. This means that one of
the three master-eligible nodes can be made as voting-only. If this voting-only node is a dedicated
master, a less powerful machine or a smaller heap-size can be chosen for this node. Alternatively, a
voting-only non-dedicated master node can play the role of the third master-eligible node, which
allows running an HA cluster with only two dedicated master nodes.

Today our OS information returned in node stats only returns a
high-level name of the OS (e.g., "Linux"). Yet, for some uses this is
too high-level and knowing at a finer level of granularity the
underlying OS can be useful. This commit extracts the pretty name on
Linux from /etc/os-release. This pretty name usually includes the Linux
vendor and the Linux vendor version number (e.g., Fedora 28).
Expands and clarifies exactly what is and isn't allowed when specifying a
subset of the nodes as targets of a cluster API, and adds missing links to this
from the hot threads and cluster stats API docs.

* Make cluster stats response contain cluster UUID
* Updating constructor usage in Monitoring tests
* Adding cluster_uuid field to Cluster Stats API reference doc
* Adding rest api spec test for expecting cluster_uuid in cluster stats response
* Adding missing newline
* Indenting do section properly
* Missed a spot!
* Fixing the test cluster ID
This switches the docs tests from the `oss-zip` distribution to the
`zip` distribution so they have xpack installed and configured with the
default basic license. The goal is to be able to merge the
`x-pack/docs` directory into the `docs` directory, marking the x-pack
docs with some kind of marker. This is the first step in that process.
This also enables `-Dtests.distribution` support for the `docs`
directory so you can run the tests against the `oss-zip` distribution
with something like
```
./gradlew -p docs check -Dtests.distribution=oss-zip
```
We can set up Jenkins to run both.
Relates to #30665
The example output for node info and cluster stats was outdated w.r.t.
to the information that is shown for plugins. With this commit we
updated the example output and update the explanation of the respective
fields.
The mem section was buggy in cluster stats and removed. It is now added back with the same structure as in node stats, containing total memory, available memory, used memory and percentages. All the values are the sum of all the nodes across the cluster (or at least the ones that we were able to get the values from).
The cluster stats api now returns counts for each node role. The `master_data`, `master_only`, `data_only` and `client` fields have been removed from the response in favour of `master`, `data`, `ingest` and `coordinating_only`. The same node can have multiple roles, hence contribute to multiple roles counts. Every node is implicitly a coordinating node, so whenever a node has no explicit roles, it will be counted as coordinating only.
we currently don't expose this.
This adds the following to the OS section of `_nodes`:
```
"os": {
"name": "Mac OS X",
...
}
```
and the following to the OS section of `_cluster/stats`:
```
"os": {
...
"names": [
{
"name": "Mac OS X",
"count": 1
}
],
...
},
```
Closes#11807
Also changes the response format of that section to:
```
"open_file_descriptors": {
"min": 200,
"max": 346,
"avg": 273
}
```
Closes#4681
