This commit removes xpack dependencies of many xpack qa modules.
(for some qa modules this will require some more work)
The reason behind this change is that qa rest modules should not depend
on the x-pack plugins, because the plugins are an implementation detail and
the tests should only know about the rest interface and qa cluster that is
being tested.
Also some qa modules rely on xpack plugins and hlrc (which is a valid
dependency for rest qa tests) creates a cyclic dependency and this is
something that we should avoid. Also Eclipse can't handle gradle cyclic
dependencies (see #41064).
* don't copy xpack-core's plugin property into the test resource of qa
modules. Otherwise installing security manager fails, because it tries
to find the XPackPlugin class.
This commit does the following:
- renames index-lifecycle plugin to ilm
- modifies the endpoints to ilm instead of index_lifecycle
- drops _xpack from the endpoints
- drops a few duplicate endpoints
Resolving wildcards in aliases expression is challenging as we may end
up with no aliases to replace the original expression with, but if we
replace with an empty array that means _all which is quite the opposite.
Now that we support and serialize the original requested aliases,
whenever aliases are replaced we will be able to know what was
initially requested. `MetaData#findAliases` can then be updated to not
return anything in case it gets empty aliases, but the original aliases
were not empty. That means that empty aliases are interpreted as _all
only if they were originally requested that way.
Relates to #31516
This creates a YAML test "features" that indices if the cluster being
tested has xpack installed (`xpack`) or if it does *not* have xpack
installed (`no_xpack`). It uses those features to centralize skipping
a few tests that fail if xpack is installed.
The plan is to use this in a followup to skip docs tests that require
xpack when xpack is not installed. We *plan* to use the declaration
of required license level on the docs page to generate the required
`skip`.
Closes#30933.
We currently have a specific REST action to retrieve all aliaes, which
uses internally the get index API. This doesn't seem to be required
anymore though as the existing RestGetAliaesAction could as well take
the requests with no indices and aliases specified.
This commit removes the RestGetAllAliasesAction in favour of using
RestGetAliasesAction also for requests that don't specify indices nor
aliases. Similar to #31129.
The core REST tests with security currently use a hardcoded username and
password. This is not amenable to running these tests in scenarios where
the user controls the creation of the cluster and owns the credentials
for this cluster. This commit enables running the core REST tests with
security with a custom username and password.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
