We have had various reports of problems caused by the maxRetryTimeout
setting in the low-level REST client. Such setting was initially added
in the attempts to not have requests go through retries if the request
already took longer than the provided timeout.
The implementation was problematic though as such timeout would also
expire in the first request attempt (see #31834), would leave the
request executing after expiration causing memory leaks (see #33342),
and would not take into account the http client internal queuing (see #25951).
Given all these issues, it seems that this custom timeout mechanism
gives little benefits while causing a lot of harm. We should rather rely
on connect and socket timeout exposed by the underlying http client
and accept that a request can overall take longer than the configured
timeout, which is the case even with a single retry anyways.
This commit removes the `maxRetryTimeout` setting and all of its usages.
Elasticsearch has long [supported](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html#index-versioning) compare and set (a.k.a optimistic concurrency control) operations using internal document versioning. Sadly that approach is flawed and can sometime do the wrong thing. Here's the relevant excerpt from the resiliency status page:
> When a primary has been partitioned away from the cluster there is a short period of time until it detects this. During that time it will continue indexing writes locally, thereby updating document versions. When it tries to replicate the operation, however, it will discover that it is partitioned away. It won’t acknowledge the write and will wait until the partition is resolved to negotiate with the master on how to proceed. The master will decide to either fail any replicas which failed to index the operations on the primary or tell the primary that it has to step down because a new primary has been chosen in the meantime. Since the old primary has already written documents, clients may already have read from the old primary before it shuts itself down. The version numbers of these reads may not be unique if the new primary has already accepted writes for the same document
We recently [introduced](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.x/optimistic-concurrency-control.html) a new sequence number based approach that doesn't suffer from this dirty reads problem.
This commit removes support for internal versioning as a concurrency control mechanism in favor of the sequence number approach.

X-Pack security supports built-in authentication service
`token-service` that allows access tokens to be used to
access Elasticsearch without using Basic authentication.
The tokens are generated by `token-service` based on
OAuth2 spec. The access token is a short-lived token
(defaults to 20m) and refresh token with a lifetime of 24 hours,
making them unsuitable for long-lived or recurring tasks where
the system might go offline thereby failing refresh of tokens.
This commit introduces a built-in authentication service
`api-key-service` that adds support for long-lived tokens aka API
keys to access Elasticsearch. The `api-key-service` is consulted
after `token-service` in the authentication chain. By default,
if TLS is enabled then `api-key-service` is also enabled.
The service can be disabled using the configuration setting.
The API keys:-
- by default do not have an expiration but expiration can be
configured where the API keys need to be expired after a
certain amount of time.
- when generated will keep authentication information of the user that
generated them.
- can be defined with a role describing the privileges for accessing
Elasticsearch and will be limited by the role of the user that
generated them
- can be invalidated via invalidation API
- information can be retrieved via a get API
- that have been expired or invalidated will be retained for 1 week
before being deleted. The expired API keys remover task handles this.
Following are the API key management APIs:-
1. Create API Key - `PUT/POST /_security/api_key`
2. Get API key(s) - `GET /_security/api_key`
3. Invalidate API Key(s) `DELETE /_security/api_key`
The API keys can be used to access Elasticsearch using `Authorization`
header, where the auth scheme is `ApiKey` and the credentials, is the
base64 encoding of API key Id and API key separated by a colon.
Example:-
```
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey YXBpLWtleS1pZDphcGkta2V5" http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health
```
Closes#34383
Added deprecation warnings for use of include_type_name in put/get index templates.
HLRC changes:
GetIndexTemplateRequest has a new client-side class which is a copy of server's GetIndexTemplateResponse but modified to be typeless.
PutIndexTemplateRequest has a new client-side counterpart which doesn't use types in the mappings
Relates to #35190
This commit modifies the put follow index action to use a
CcrRepository when creating a follower index. It routes
the logic through the snapshot/restore process. A
wait_for_active_shards parameter can be used to configure
how long to wait before returning the response.
From previous PRs, we've already added support for include_type_name to
the get mapping API. We had also taken an approach to the HLRC where the
server-side `GetMappingResponse#fromXContent` could only handle typeless
input.
This PR updates the HLRC for 'get mapping' to be in line with our new approach:
* Add a typeless 'get mappings' method to the Java HLRC, that accepts new
client-side request and response objects. This new response only handles
typeless mapping definitions.
* Switch the old version of `GetMappingResponse` back to expecting typed
mappings, and deprecate the corresponding method on the HLRC.
Finally, the PR also does some small, related clean-up around 'get field mappings'.
From #29453 and #37285, the include_type_name parameter was already present and defaulted to false. This PR makes the following updates:
* Add deprecation warnings to RestCreateIndexAction, plus tests in RestCreateIndexActionTests.
* Add a typeless 'create index' method to the Java HLRC, and deprecate the old typed version. To do this cleanly, I created new CreateIndexRequest and CreateIndexResponse objects that differ from the existing server ones.
The EmptyResponse is essentially the same as returning a boolean, which
is done in other places. This commit deprecates all the existing
EmptyResponse methods and creates new boolean methods that have method
params reordered so they can exist with the deprecated methods. A
followup PR in master will remove the existing deprecated methods, fix
the parameter ordering and deprecate the incorrectly ordered parameter
methods.

- Add deprecation warning to RestGetFieldMappingAction
- Add two new java HRLC classes GetFieldMappingsRequest and
GetFieldMappingsResponse. These classes use new typeless forms
of a request and response, and differ in that from the server
versions.

From #29453 and #37285, the `include_type_name` parameter was already present and defaulted to false. This PR makes the following updates:
- Add deprecation warnings to `RestPutMappingAction`, plus tests in `RestPutMappingActionTests`.
- Add a typeless 'put mappings' method to the Java HLRC, and deprecate the old typed version. To do this cleanly, I opted to create a new `PutMappingRequest` object that differs from the existing server one.
This change adds deprecation warning to the indices.get_mapping API in case the
"inlcude_type_name" parameter is set to "true" and changes the parsing code in
GetMappingsResponse to parse the type-less response instead of the one
containing types. As a consequence the HLRC client doesn't need to force
"include_type_name=true" any more and the GetMappingsResponseTests can be
adapted to the new format as well. Also removing some "include_type_name"
parameters in yaml test and docs where not necessary.
Update the scroll example ascii and Java docs, so it is more clear when to
consume the scroll documents. Before this change the user could loose
the first results if one uses copy & paste.
Added warnings checks to existing tests
Added “defaultTypeIfNull” to DocWriteRequest interface so that Bulk requests can override a null choice of document type with any global custom choice.

Add a more detailed section about what exceptions to expect from the blocking
calls in this class and removing the mostly redundant mentions of the
IOExceptions from each method javadoc since it doesn't give much details about
the expected exceptions anyway.
