Native scripts have been replaced in documentation by implementing
a ScriptEngine and they were deprecated in 5.5.0. This commit
removes the native script infrastructure for 6.0.

This commit adds gcs credential settings to the elasticsearch keystore.
The setting name follows the same pattern as the s3 client settings,
beginning with `gcs.client.`, followed by the client name, and then the
setting name, in this case, `credentials_file`. Using the legacy service
file setting is also deprecated.
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.
Our strong recommendation is disabling swap over any other alternative
to avoid the JVM from landing on disk. This commit clarifies the docs in
this regard.
* Add parent-join module
This change adds a new module named `parent-join`.
The goal of this module is to provide a replacement for the `_parent` field but as a first step this change only moves the `has_child`, `has_parent` queries and the `children` aggregation to this module.
These queries and aggregations are no longer in core but they are deployed by default as a module.

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.

This commit adds support for histogram and date_histogram agg compound order by refactoring and reusing terms agg order code. The major change is that the Terms.Order and Histogram.Order classes have been replaced/refactored into a new class BucketOrder. This is a breaking change for the Java Transport API. For backward compatibility with previous ES versions the (date)histogram compound order will use the first order. Also the _term and _time aggregation order keys have been deprecated; replaced by _key.
Relates to #20003: now that all these aggregations use the same order code, it should be easier to move validation to parse time (as a follow up PR).
Relates to #14771: histogram and date_histogram aggregation order will now be validated at reduce time.
Closes#23613: if a single BucketOrder that is not a tie-breaker is added with the Java Transport API, it will be converted into a CompoundOrder with a tie-breaker.
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.
Closes#24288
Adds a new "icu_collation" field type that exposes lucene's
ICUCollationDocValuesField. ICUCollationDocValuesField is the replacement
for ICUCollationKeyFilter which has been deprecated since Lucene 5.
Now that indices have a single type by default, we can move to the next step
and identify documents using their `_id` rather than the `_uid`.
One notable change in this commit is that I made deletions implicitly create
types. This helps with the live version map in the case that documents are
deleted before the first type is introduced. Otherwise there would be no way
to differenciate `DELETE index/foo/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1` from
`DELETE index/bar/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1`, even though those are
different if versioning is involved.
This commit adds support for indexing and searching a new ip_range field type. Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are supported. Tests are updated and docs are added.
`_search_shards`API today only returns aliases names if there is an alias
filter associated with one of them. Now it can be useful to see which aliases
have been expanded for an index given the index expressions. This change also includes non-filtering aliases even without a filtering alias being present.
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
a separate thing.

I originally wrote this file when we first added snippets testing
and a lot has changed. We've grown quite fond of the
`// TESTRESPONSE[s/foo/bar/]` construct, for example, but the docs
discouraged its use.
Relates to #18160
Rewrites most of the snippets in the `innert_hits` docs to be
complete examples and enables `VIEW IN CONSOLE`, `COPY AS CURL`,
and automatic testing of the snippets.
Today we go to heroic lengths to workaround bugs in the JDK or around
issues like BSD jails to get information about the underlying file
store. For example, we went to lengths to work around a JDK bug where
the file store returned would incorrectly report whether or not a path
is writable in certain situations in Windows operating
systems. Another bug prevented getting file store information on
Windows on a virtual drive on Windows. We no longer need to work
around these bugs, we could simply try to write to disk and let an I/O
exception arise if we could not write to the disk or take advantage of
the fact that these bugs are fixed in recent releases of the JDK
(e.g., the file store bug is fixed since 8u72). Additionally, we
collected information about all file stores on the system which meant
that if the user had a stale NFS mount, Elasticsearch could hang and
fail on startup if that mount point was not available. Finally, we
collected information through Lucene about whether or not a disk was a
spinning disk versus an SSD, information that we do not need since we
assume SSDs by default. This commit takes into consideration that we
simply do not need this heroic effort, we do not need information
about all file stores, and we do not need information about whether or
not a disk spins to greatly simplfy file store handling.

Added missing permissions required for authenticating with Kerberos to HDFS. Also implemented
code to support authentication in the form of using a Kerberos keytab file. In order to support
HDFS authentication, users must install a Kerberos keytab file on each node and transfer it to the
configuration directory. When a user specifies a Kerberos principal in the repository settings the
plugin automatically enables security for Hadoop and begins the login process. There will be a
separate PR and commit for the testing infrastructure to support these changes.
