This PR removes all leniency in the conversion of Strings to booleans: "true"
is converted to the boolean value `true`, "false" is converted to the boolean
value `false`. Everything else raises an error.
This change makes it possible for custom routing values to go to a subset of shards rather than
just a single shard. This enables the ability to utilize the spatial locality that custom routing can
provide while mitigating the likelihood of ending up with an imbalanced cluster or suffering
from a hot shard.
This is ideal for large multi-tenant indices with custom routing that suffer from one or both of
the following:
- The big tenants cannot fit into a single shard or there is so many of them that they will likely
end up on the same shard
- Tenants often have a surge in write traffic and a single shard cannot process it fast enough
Beyond that, this should also be useful for use cases where most queries are done under the context
of a specific field (e.g. a category) since it gives a hint at how the data can be stored to minimize
the number of shards to check per query. While a similar solution can be achieved with multiple
concrete indices or aliases per value today, those approaches breakdown for high cardinality fields.
A partitioned index enforces that mappings have routing required, that the partition size does not
change when shrinking an index (the partitions will shrink proportionally), and rejects mappings
that have parent/child relationships.

* Grammatical correction
* Add note for legacy string mapping type
* Update truncate token filter to not mention the keyword tokenizer
The advice predates the existence of the keyword field
Closes#22650
This change disables the _all meta field by default.
Now that we have the "all-fields" method of query execution, we can save both
indexing time and disk space by disabling it.
_all can no longer be configured for indices created after 6.0.

This adds a new `normalizer` property to `keyword` fields that pre-processes the
field value prior to indexing, but without altering the `_source`. Note that
only the normalization components that work on a per-character basis are
applied, so for instance stemming filters will be ignored while lowercasing or
ascii folding will be applied.
Closes#18064
Our `float`/`double` fields generally assume that `-0` compares less than `+0`,
except when bounds are exclusive: an exclusive lower bound on `-0` excludes
`+0` and an exclusive upper bound on `+0` excludes `-0`.
Closes#22167
Lucene 6.2 added index and query support for numeric ranges. This commit adds a new RangeFieldMapper for indexing numeric (int, long, float, double) and date ranges and creating appropriate range and term queries. The design is similar to NumericFieldMapper in that it uses a RangeType enumerator for implementing the logic specific to each type. The following range types are supported by this field mapper: int_range, float_range, long_range, double_range, date_range.
Lucene does not provide a DocValue field specific to RangeField types so the RangeFieldMapper implements a CustomRangeDocValuesField for handling doc value support.
When executing a Range query over a Range field, the RangeQueryBuilder has been enhanced to accept a new relation parameter for defining the type of query as one of: WITHIN, CONTAINS, INTERSECTS. This provides support for finding all ranges that are related to a specific range in a desired way. As with other spatial queries, DISJOINT can be achieved as a MUST_NOT of an INTERSECTS query.
This changes only the query parsing behavior to be strict when searching on
boolean values. We continue to accept the variety of values during index time,
but searches will only be parsed using `"true"` or `"false"`.
Resolves#21545
* Allows for an array of index template patterns to be provided to an
index template, and rename the field from 'template' to 'index_pattern'.

With the cut over to LatLonPoint the geohash, geohash_precision, lat_lon, and geohash_prefix parameters have been removed. This commit fixes the doc build by removing the remaining dangling references to these removed parameters.
This includes:
- All regular numeric types such as int, long, scaled-float, double, etc
- IP addresses
- Dates
- Geopoints and Geoshapes

This changes Elasticsearch to automatically downgrade `text` and
`keyword` fields into appropriate `string` fields when changing the
mapping of indexes imported from 2.x. This allows users to use the
modern, documented syntax against 2.x indexes. It also makes it clear
that reindexing in order to recreate the index in 5.0 is required for
any long lived indexes. This change is useful for the times when you
can't (cluster is just starting, not stable enough for reindex) or
shouldn't (index will only live 90 days or something).
Fix field examples to make documents actually visible
This commit adds refresh calls to field examples an removes not working
`_routing` and `_field_names` script access.

Adds `warnings` syntax to the yaml test that allows you to expect
a `Warning` header that looks like:
```
- do:
warnings:
- '[index] is deprecated'
- quotes are not required because yaml
- but this argument is always a list, never a single string
- no matter how many warnings you expect
get:
index: test
type: test
id: 1
```
These are accessible from the docs with:
```
// TEST[warning:some warning]
```
This should help to force you to update the docs if you deprecate
something. You *must* add the warnings marker to the docs or the build
will fail. While you are there you *should* update the docs to add
deprecation warnings visible in the rendered results.
This is a tentative to revive #15939 motivated by elastic/beats#1941.
Half-floats are a pretty bad option for storing percentages. They would likely
require 2 bytes all the time while they don't need more than one byte.
So this PR exposes a new `scaled_float` type that requires a `scaling_factor`
and internally indexes `value*scaling_factor` in a long field. Compared to the
original PR it exposes a lower-level API so that the trade-offs are clearer and
avoids any reference to fixed precision that might imply that this type is more
accurate (actually it is *less* accurate).
In addition to being more space-efficient for some use-cases that beats is
interested in, this is also faster that `half_float` unless we can improve the
efficiency of decoding half-float bits (which is currently done using software)
or until Java gets first-class support for half-floats.
