The `random_score` function produces values between 0 (inclusive) and 1
(exclusive) and documented it with fancy methematical range notation. It
is so fancy I thought it was a typo. This changes the documentation to
use words.

* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
The original statement "Runs a match_phrase query on each field and combines the _score from each field." for the phrase type is a but misleading. The phrase type behaves like the best_fields type and does not combine the scores of each fields.
Stating that the Fuzzy Query generates "all possible" matching terms is misleading, given that the query's default behavior is to generate a maximum of 50 matching terms.

This field is similar to the `feature` field but is better suited to index
sparse feature vectors. A use-case for this field could be to record topics
associated with every documents alongside a metric that quantifies how well
the topic is connected to this document, and then boost queries based on the
topics that the logged user is interested in.

By default span_multi query will limit term expansions = boolean max clause.
This will limit high heap usage in case of high cardinality term
expansions. This applies only if top_terms_N is not used in inner multi
query.
* Fix index prefixes to work with span_multi
Text fields that use `index_prefixes` can rewrite `prefix` queries into
`term` queries internally. This commit fix the handling of this rewriting
in the `span_multi` query.
This change also copies the index options of the text field into the
prefix field in order to be able to run positional queries. This is mandatory
for `span_multi` to work but this could also be useful to optimize `match_phrase_prefix`
queries in a follow up. Note that this change can only be done on indices created
after 6.3 since we set the index options to doc only in this version.
Fixes#31056
Treats geohashes as grid cells instead of just points when the
geohashes are used to specify the edges in the geo_bounding_box
query. For example, if a geohash is used to specify the top_left
corner, the top left corner of the geohash cell will be used as the
corner of the bounding box.
Closes#25154
The current documentation isn't very clear about how incomplete dates are
treated when specifying custom formats in a `range` query. This change adds a
note explaining how missing month or year coordinates translate to dates that
have the missings slots filled with unix time start date (1970-01-01)
Closes#30634
Lucene has a new `FeatureField` which gives the ability to record numeric
features as term frequencies. Its main benefit is that it allows to boost
queries with the values of these features and efficiently skip non-competitive
documents at the same time using block-max WAND and indexed impacts.
The geo_bounding_box query might produce false positives alongside
the right and upper edges and false negatives alongside left and
bottom edges. This commit documents the behavior and defines the
maximum error.
Closes#29196
This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
This commit removes some parameters deprecated in 6.x (or 5.x):
`use_dismax`, `split_on_whitespace`, `all_fields` and `lowercase_expanded_terms`.
Closes#25551
* Clarifies how the query_string splits textual part to build a query
Whitespaces are not considered as operators anymore in 6x but the documentation is not clear about it.
This commit changes the example in the documentation and adds a note regarding whitespaces and operators.

* Reject regex search if regex string is too long (#28344)

The `terms` query is really designed for filtering and highlighting it might
cause performance issues if it wraps many terms, so I am documenting

Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.
Closes#27750Closes#27751
Today we require users to prepare their indices for split operations.
Yet, we can do this automatically when an index is created which would
make the split feature a much more appealing option since it doesn't have
any 3rd party prerequisites anymore.
This change automatically sets the number of routinng shards such that
an index is guaranteed to be able to split once into twice as many shards.
The number of routing shards is scaled towards the default shard limit per index
such that indices with a smaller amount of shards can be split more often than
larger ones. For instance an index with 1 or 2 shards can be split 10x
(until it approaches 1024 shards) while an index created with 128 shards can only
be split 3x by a factor of 2. Please note this is just a default value and users
can still prepare their indices with `index.number_of_routing_shards` for custom
splitting.
NOTE: this change has an impact on the document distribution since we are changing
the hash space. Documents are still uniformly distributed across all shards but since
we are artificually changing the number of buckets in the consistent hashign space
document might be hashed into different shards compared to previous versions.
This is a 7.0 only change.
* Make fields optional in multi_match query and rely on index.query.default_field by default
This commit adds the ability to send `multi_match` query without providing any `fields`.
When no fields are provided the `multi_match` query will use the fields defined in the index setting `index.query.default_field`
(which in turns defaults to `*`).
The same behavior is already implemented in `query_string` and `simple_query_string` so this change just applies
the heuristic to `multi_match` queries.
Relying on `index.query.default_field` rather than `*` is safer for big mappings that break the 1024 field expansion limit added in 7.0 for all
text queries. For these kind of mappings the admin can change the `index.query.default_field` in order to make sure that exploratory queries using
`multi_match`, `query_string` or `simple_query_string` do not throw an exception.
This query returns documents that match with at least one ore more
of the provided terms. The number of terms that must match varies
per document and is either controlled by a minimum should match
field or computed per document in a minimum should match script.
Closes#26915
Add fuzzy_transpositions parameter to multi_match and query_string queries.
Add fuzzy_transpositions, fuzzy_prefix_length and fuzzy_max_expansions
parameters to simple_query_string query.
In 5.x pure wildcard queries `*` in `query_string` are rewritten to `exists` query for efficiency.
Though this introduced a change in the document that match such queries because
`exists` query also return documents with an empty value for the field.
This change clarifies this behavior for 5.x and beyond.
Closes#26801
* review
The `fielddata` field and the use of the `_name` field in the short syntax of the range
query have been deprecated in 5.0 and can be removed.
The same goes for the deprecated `score_mode` field in HasParentQueryBuilder,
the deprecated `like_text`, `ids` and `docs` parameter in the `more_like_this` query,
the deprecated query name in the short version of the `regexp` query, and several
deprecated alternative field names in other query builders.
Removing several occurrences of this typo in the docs and javadocs, seems to be
a common mistake. Corrections turn up once in a while in PRs, better to correct
some of this in one sweep.
* Limit the number of expanded fields it query_string and simple_query_string
This limits the number of automatically expanded fields for the "all fields"
mode (`"default_field": "*"`) for the `query_string` and `simple_query_string`
queries to 1024 fields.
Resolves#25105
* Add blurb about limit to the docs
The percolator will add a `_percolator_document_slot` field to all percolator
hits to indicate with what document it has matched. This number matches with
the order in which the documents have been specified in the percolate query.
Also improved the support for multiple percolate queries in a search request.
Adding a check to QueryStringQueryBuilderTests that checks the override
behaviour of `quote_analyzer`, also adding documentation explaining the use of
this parameter in `query_string` query.
Closes#25417
* Remove the _all metadata field
This change removes the `_all` metadata field. This field is deprecated in 6
and cannot be activated for indices created in 6 so it can be safely removed in
the next major version (e.g. 7).
* Accept an array of field names and boosts in the index.query.default_field setting
This commit allows to define an array of field names and boosts for the index setting `index.query.default_field`.
The format is equivalent to the `fields` options of the full text search queries (e.g. field_name^boost).
This commit also makes this setting dynamically updatable.
Fixes#25946
This change is a continuation of #25726 that aligns field expansions for the simple_query_string with the query_string and multi_match query.
The main changes are:
* For exact field name, the new behavior is to rewrite to a matchnodocs query when the field name is not found in the mapping.
* For partial field names (with * suffix), the expansion is done only on keyword, text, date, ip and number field types. Other field types are simply ignored.
* For all fields (*), the expansion is done on accepted field types only (see above) and metadata fields are also filtered.
The use_all_fields option is deprecated in this change and can be replaced by setting `*` in the fields parameter.
This commit also changes how text fields are analyzed. Previously the default search analyzer (or the provided analyzer) was used to analyze every text part
, ignoring the analyzer set on the field in the mapping. With this change, the field analyzer is used instead unless an analyzer has been forced in the parameter of the query.
Finally now that all full text queries can handle the special "*" expansion (`all_fields` mode), the `index.query.default_field` is now set to `*` for indices created in 6.
* Add support for auto_generate_synonyms_phrase_query in match_query, multi_match_query, query_string and simple_query_string
This change adds a new parameter called auto_generate_synonyms_phrase_query (defaults to true).
This option can be used in conjunction with synonym_graph token filter to generate phrase queries
when multi terms synonyms are encountered.
For example, a synonym like "ny, new york" would produce the following boolean query when "ny city" is parsed:
((ny OR "new york") AND city)
Note how the multi terms synonym "new york" produces a phrase query.
This commit changes the way we handle field expansion in `match`, `multi_match` and `query_string` query.
The main changes are:
- For exact field name, the new behavior is to rewrite to a matchnodocs query when the field name is not found in the mapping.
- For partial field names (with `*` suffix), the expansion is done only on `keyword`, `text`, `date`, `ip` and `number` field types. Other field types are simply ignored.
- For all fields (`*`), the expansion is done on accepted field types only (see above) and metadata fields are also filtered.
- The `*` notation can also be used to set `default_field` option on`query_string` query. This should replace the needs for the extra option `use_all_fields` which is deprecated in this change.
This commit also rewrites simple `*` query to matchalldocs query when all fields are requested (Fixes#25556).
The same change should be done on `simple_query_string` for completeness.
`use_all_fields` option in `query_string` is also deprecated in this change, `default_field` should be set to `*` instead.
Relates #25551
We currently use fielddata on the `_id` field which is trappy, especially as we
do it implicitly. This changes the `random_score` function to use doc ids when
no seed is provided and to suggest a field when a seed is provided.
For now the change only emits a deprecation warning when no field is supplied
but this should be replaced by a strict check on 7.0.
Closes#25240
This change removes the leniency of having a `null` index to fetch
terms from in 6.0 onwards. This feature will be deprecated in the 5.x series
and 6.0 nodes will require the index to be set.
Closes#25750
This change refactors the query_string query to analyze the query text around logical operators of the query string the same way than a match_query/multi_match_query.
It also adds a type parameter that can be used to change the way multi fields query are built the same way than a multi_match query does.
Now that these queries share the same behavior regarding text analysis, some parameters are obsolete and have been deprecated:
split_on_whitespace: This setting is now ignored with a deprecation notice
if it is used explicitely. With this PR The query_string always splits on logical operator.
It simplifies the understanding of the other parameters that can have different meanings
depending on the value of split_on_whitespace.
auto_generate_phrase_queries: This setting is now ignored with a deprecation notice
if it is used explicitely. This setting only makes sense when the parser splits on whitespace.
use_dismax: This setting is now ignored with a deprecation notice
if it is used explicitely. The tie_breaker parameter is sufficient to handle best_fields/most_fields.
Fixes#25574
Today if we search across a large amount of shards we hit every shard. Yet, it's quite
common to search across an index pattern for time based indices but filtering will exclude
all results outside a certain time range ie. `now-3d`. While the search can potentially hit
hundreds of shards the majority of the shards might yield 0 results since there is not document
that is within this date range. Kibana for instance does this regularly but used `_field_stats`
to optimize the indexes they need to query. Now with the deprecation of `_field_stats` and it's upcoming removal a single dashboard in kibana can potentially turn into searches hitting hundreds or thousands of shards and that can easily cause search rejections even though the most of the requests are very likely super cheap and only need a query rewriting to early terminate with 0 results.
This change adds a pre-filter phase for searches that can, if the number of shards are higher than a the `pre_filter_shard_size` threshold (defaults to 128 shards), fan out to the shards
and check if the query can potentially match any documents at all. While false positives are possible, a negative response means that no matches are possible. These requests are not subject to rejection and can greatly reduce the number of shards a request needs to hit. The approach here is preferable to the kibana approach with field stats since it correctly handles aliases and uses the correct threadpools to execute these requests. Further it's completely transparent to the user and improves scalability of elasticsearch in general on large clusters.
The created and found fields in index and delete responses became obsolete after the introduction of the result field in index, update and delete responses (#19566).
After deprecating the created and found fields in 5.x (#19633), now they are removed.
Fixes#19630
The `document_type` parameter is no longer required to be specified,
because by default from 6.0 only a single type is allowed. (`index.mapping.single_type` defaults to `true`)
This snapshot has faster range queries on range fields (LUCENE-7828), more
accurate norms (LUCENE-7730) and the ability to use fake term frequencies
(LUCENE-7854).
This commit adds back "id" as the key within a script to specify a
stored script (which with file scripts now gone is no longer ambiguous).
It also adds "source" as a replacement for "code". This is in an attempt
to normalize how scripts are specified across both put stored scripts and script usages, including search template requests. This also deprecates the old inline/stored keys.
This adds the `index.mapping.single_type` setting, which enforces that indices
have at most one type when it is true. The default value is true for 6.0+ indices
and false for old indices.

Docs: rewrite description of `bool`'s `should`
Rewrites the description of the `bool` query's `should`
clauses so it is (hopefully) more clear what the defaults
for `minimum_should_match` are.
There is still an `[IMPORTANT]` section about `minimum_should_match`
in a filter context. I think it is worth keeping because it is, well,
important.
Closes#23831
We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.
Some notes about the change:
- it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
- it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
- two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
I managed to push the last one without testing it because I'd changed
the way I run tests locally and hadn't picked it up. Ooops. This one
works better.
All the docs for the `exists` query that aren't marked as `CONSOLE`
aren't actually `CONSOLE`-worthy so this marks them as `NOTCONSOLE`.
It also rewrites the text around `missing` query. Since it was
removed in 5.0 we don't need to talk about it in the 6.0 docs.

These need to be CONSOLEified *now* because we're starting to
require Content-Type headers and they didn't have any.
* cluster/reroute: Marked as CONSOLE but skipped because the docs
build runs with a single node.

either examples or `curl` commands. Fixed the `curl` command to
include the `Content-Type` header.
* query-dsl/terms-query: Marked as CONSOLE.
* search/request/rescore: Marked as CONSOLE. Fixed deprecated
syntax.

GeoDistance query, sort, and scripts make use of a crazy GeoDistance enum for handling 4 different ways of computing geo distance: SLOPPY_ARC, ARC, FACTOR, and PLANE. Only two of these are necessary: ARC, PLANE. This commit removes SLOPPY_ARC, and FACTOR and cleans up the way Geo distance is computed.
When we decided to deprecate and remove fuzzy query in #15760, we didn't realize we would take away the possibililty for uses to use a fuzzy query as part of a span query, which is not possible using match query. This means we have to go back and un-deprecate fuzzy query, which will not be removed.
Closes#15760
Currently, the `terms` query is just syctactic sugar for a `bool` query when
used in a query context. This change proposes to always generate the same query
in query and filter contexts, which is less confusing.
These query names were all deprecated in 5.0.0:
- in is removed in favour of terms
- geo_bbox is removed in favour of geo_bounding_box
- mlt is removed in favour of more_like_this
- fuzzy_match and match_fuzzy are removed in favour of match

This commit introduces a new execution mode for the
`simple_query_string` query, which is intended down the road to be a
replacement for the current _all field.
It now does auto-field-expansion and auto-leniency when the following criteria
are ALL met:
The _all field is disabled
No default_field has been set in the index settings
No fields are specified in the request
Additionally, a user can force the "all-like" execution by setting the
all_fields parameter to true.
When executing in all field mode, the `simple_query_string` query will
look at all the fields in the mapping that are not metafields and can be
searched, and automatically expand the list of fields that are going to
be queried.
Relates to #20925, which is the `query_string` version of this work.
This is basically the same behavior, but for the `simple_query_string`
query.

Lucene 6.2 introduces the new `Analyzer.normalize` API, which allows to apply
only character-level normalization such as lowercasing or accent folding, which
is exactly what is needed to process queries that operate on partial terms such
as `prefix`, `wildcard` or `fuzzy` queries. As a consequence, the
`lowercase_expanded_terms` option is not necessary anymore. Furthermore, the
`locale` option was only needed in order to know how to perform the lowercasing,
so this one can be removed as well.
Closes#9978
This change adds an option called `split_on_whitespace` which prevents the query parser to split free text part on whitespace prior to analysis. Instead the queryparser would parse around only real 'operators'. Default to true.
For instance the query `"foo bar"` would let the analyzer of the targeted field decide how the tokens should be splitted.
Some options are missing in this change but I'd like to add them in a follow up PR in order to be able to simplify the backport in 5.x. The missing options (changes) are:
* A `type` option which similarly to the `multi_match` query defines how the free text should be parsed when multi fields are defined.
* Simple range query with additional tokens like ">100 50" are broken when `split_on_whitespace` is set to false. It should be possible to preserve this syntax and make the parser aware of this special syntax even when `split_on_whitespace` is set to false.
* Since all this options would make the `query_string_query` very similar to a match (multi_match) query we should be able to share the code that produce the final Lucene query.
Refactored ScriptType to clean up some of the variable and method names. Added more documentation. Deprecated the 'in' ParseField in favor of 'stored' to match the indexed scripts being replaced by stored scripts.
Hi all,
I was trying to run the percolate examples, but I figured that because of the "type":"keyword" , the code wasn't working.
In the saerch query the "message" : "A new bonsai tree in the office" is a pure string.
I changed it to "text".
- Using log() to indicate natural log can add some confusion when trying to further adjust/tweak scores. Other parts of the API (field_value_factor on this same page) use 'ln' and 'log', so this change should be more consistent
- Fixes#20027
- I generated the images using http://latex2png.com/ at a resolution of 150 which seemed to be about the same size as before
