The current setting of 20MB/sec seems to be too conservative given
the capabilities of modern hardware. Even on cloud infrastructure this
seems to be too lowish. A 50MB default should provide better out of the box
performance
Currently we use 5k operations as a flush threshold. Indexing 5k documents
per second is rather common which would cause the index to be committed on
the lucene level each time the flush logic runs which is 5 seconds by default.
We should rather use a size based threshold similar to the lucene index writer
that doesn't cause such agressive commits which can slow down indexing significantly
especially since they cause the underlying devices to fsync their data.
Load tests showed that SerialMS has problems to keep up with
the merges under high load. We should switch back to CMS
until we have a better story to balance merge
threads / efforts across shards on a single node.
Closes#5817
Add an API endpoint at /_bench for submitting, listing, and aborting
search benchmarks. This API can be used for timing search requests,
subject to various user-defined settings.
Benchmark results provide summary and detailed statistics on such
values as min, max, and mean time. Values are reported per-node so that
it is easy to spot outliers. Slow requests are also reported.
Long running benchmarks can be viewed with a GET request, or aborted
with a POST request.
Benchmark results are optionally stored in an index for subsequent
analysis.
Closes#5407
The default precision was way too exact and could lead people to
think that geo context suggestions are not working. This patch now
requires you to set the precision in the mapping, as elasticsearch itself
can never tell exactly, what the required precision for the users
suggestions are.
Closes#5621
The `field_value_factor` function uses the value of a field in the
document to influence the score.
A query that looks like:
{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"query": {"match": { "body": "foo" }},
"functions": [
{
"field_value_factor": {
"field": "popularity",
"factor": 1.1,
"modifier": "square"
}
}
],
"score_mode": "max",
"boost_mode": "sum"
}
}
}
Would have the score modified by:
square(1.1 * doc['popularity'].value)
Closes#5519
allow to configure on the index level which blocks can optionally be applied using tribe.blocks.indices prefix settings.
allow to control what will be done when a conflict is detected on index names coming from several clusters using the tribe.on_conflict setting. Defaults remains "any", but now support also "drop" and "prefer_[tribeName]".
