Previously, ShrinkAction would fail if
it was executed on an index that had
the same number of shards as the target
shrunken number.
This PR introduced a new BranchingStep that
is used inside of ShrinkAction to branch which
step to move to next, depending on the
shard values. So no shrink will occur if the
shard count is unchanged.
This commit modifies the put follow index action to use a
CcrRepository when creating a follower index. It routes
the logic through the snapshot/restore process. A
wait_for_active_shards parameter can be used to configure
how long to wait before returning the response.
We inject an Unfollow action before Shrink because the Shrink action
cannot be safely used on a following index, as it may not be fully
caught up with the leader index before the "original" following index is
deleted and replaced with a non-following Shrunken index. The Unfollow
action will verify that 1) the index is marked as "complete", and 2) all
operations up to this point have been replicated from the leader to the
follower before explicitly disconnecting the follower from the leader.
Injecting an Unfollow action before the Rollover action is done mainly
as a convenience: This allow users to use the same lifecycle policy on
both the leader and follower cluster without having to explictly modify
the policy to unfollow the index, while doing what we expect users to
want in most cases.
* Use ILM for Watcher history deletion
This commit adds an index lifecycle policy for the `.watch-history-*` indices.
This policy is automatically used for all new watch history indices.
This does not yet remove the automatic cleanup that the monitoring plugin does
for the .watch-history indices, and it does not touch the
`xpack.watcher.history.cleaner_service.enabled` setting.

Some steps, such as steps that delete, close, or freeze an index, may fail due to a currently running snapshot of the index. In those cases, rather than move to the ERROR step, we should retry the step when the snapshot has completed.
This change adds an abstract step (`AsyncRetryDuringSnapshotActionStep`) that certain steps (like the ones I mentioned above) can extend that will automatically handle a situation where a snapshot is taking place. When a `SnapshotInProgressException` is received by the listener wrapper, a `ClusterStateObserver` listener is registered to wait until the snapshot has completed, re-running the ILM action when no snapshot is occurring.
This also adds integration tests for these scenarios (thanks to @talevy in #37552).

The integ tests currently use the raw zip project name as the
distribution type. This commit simplifies this specification to be
"default" or "oss". Whether zip or tar is used should be an internal
implementation detail of the integ test setup, which can (in the future)
be platform specific.
This change adds the unfollow action for CCR follower indices.
This is needed for the shrink action in case an index is a follower index.
This will give the follower index the opportunity to fully catch up with
the leader index, pause index following and unfollow the leader index.
After this the shrink action can safely perform the ilm shrink.
The unfollow action needs to be added to the hot phase and acts as
barrier for going to the next phase (warm or delete phases), so that
follower indices are being unfollowed properly before indices are expected
to go in read-only mode. This allows the force merge action to execute
its steps safely.
The unfollow action has three steps:
* `wait-for-indexing-complete` step: waits for the index in question
to get the `index.lifecycle.indexing_complete` setting be set to `true`
* `wait-for-follow-shard-tasks` step: waits for all the shard follow tasks
for the index being handled to report that the leader shard global checkpoint
is equal to the follower shard global checkpoint.
* `pause-follower-index` step: Pauses index following, necessary to unfollow
* `close-follower-index` step: Closes the index, necessary to unfollow
* `unfollow-follower-index` step: Actually unfollows the index using
the CCR Unfollow API
* `open-follower-index` step: Reopens the index now that it is a normal index
* `wait-for-yellow` step: Waits for primary shards to be allocated after
reopening the index to ensure the index is ready for the next step
In the case of the last two steps, if the index in being handled is
a regular index then the steps acts as a no-op.

This commit adds a set_priority action to the hot, warm, and cold
phases for an ILM policy. This action sets the `index.priority`
on the managed index to allow different priorities between the
hot, warm, and cold recoveries.
This commit also includes the HLRC and documentation changes.

* Tests: Add ElasticsearchAssertions.awaitLatch method
Some tests are using assertTrue(latch.await(...)) in their code. This
leads to an assertion error without any error message. This adds a
method which has a nicer error message and can be used in tests.
* fix forbidden apis
* fix spaces
the testFullPolicy and testMoveToRolloverStep tests
are very important tests, but they sometimes timeout
beyond the default 10sec wait for shrink to occur.
This commit increases one of the assertBusys to
20 seconds
Leaving `index.lifecycle.indexing_complete` in place when removing the
lifecycle policy from an index can cause confusion, as if a new policy
is associated with the policy, rollover will be silently skipped.
Removing that setting when removing the policy from an index makes
associating a new policy with the index more involved, but allows ILM to
fail loudly, rather than silently skipping operations which the user may
assume are being performed.
* Adjust order of checks in WaitForRolloverReadyStep
This allows ILM to error out properly for indices that have a valid
alias, but are not the write index, while still handling
`indexing_complete` on old-style aliases and rollover (that is, those
which only point to a single index at a time with no explicit write
index)
* WaitForRolloverReadyStepTests#mutateInstance sometimes did not mutate the instance
correctly
* 40_explain_lifecycle#"Test new phase still has phase_time" is not really a necessary
integration test. In addition to this, it is flaky due to the asynchronous nature of
ILM metadata population
* add read_ilm cluster privilege
Although managing ILM policies is best done using the
"manage" cluster privilege, it is useful to have read-only
views.
* adds `read_ilm` cluster privilege for viewing policies and status
* adds Explain API to the `view_index_metadata` index privilege
* add manage_ilm privileges
The error message used when attempting to delete a lifecycle policy that
is in use previously only included one index which was using the policy.
It now includes all indices using that policy.
Adds a setting that indicates that an index is done indexing, set by ILM
when the Rollover action completes. This indicates that the Rollover
action should be skipped in any future invocations, as long as the index
is no longer the write index for its alias.
This enables 1) an index with a policy that involves the Rollover action
to have the policy removed and switched to another one without use of
the move-to-step API, and 2) integrations with Beats and CCR.
RolloverStep previously had a name of "attempt_rollover", which was
inconsistent with all other step names due it its use of an underscore
instead of a dash.
RolloverAction will now periodically check the rollover conditions using
the Rollover API with the dry_run option as an AsyncWaitStep, then run
the rollover itself by calling the Rollover API with no conditions,
which will always roll over, as an AsyncActionStep. This will resolve
race condition issues in policies using RolloverAction.
Before, moving to a failed step would only change the step info
to be that of the failed step. This means two things.
1. Async Steps would never be triggered to execute
2. If there are inherent problems with the action definition that can
be fixed with a policy update, these changes were not being reflected
by the new execution info.
Changes now
1. Async steps are executed after the move to the failed step in cluster state
2. the lifecycle execution info's phase definition is updated from the current
latest policy definition, even though the index isn't moving to a new phase.
Closes#35397.
With this change, `Version` no longer carries information about the qualifier,
we still need a way to show the "display version" that does have both
qualifier and snapshot. This is now stored by the build and red from `META-INF`.
The remove-ilm-from-index API was using the DELETE http method
to signify that something is being removed. Although, metadata
about ILM for the index is being deleted, no entity/resource
is being deleted during this operation. POST is more in line with
what this API is actually doing, it is modifying the metadata for
an index. As part of this change, `remove` is also appended to the path
to be more explicit about its actions.
If the Rollover step would fail due to the next index in sequence
already existing, just skip to the next step instead of going to the
Error step.
This prevents spurious `ResourceAlreadyExistsException`s created by
simultaneous RolloverStep executions from causing ILM to error out
unnecessarily.
This commit removes the Joda time usage from ILM and the HLRC components of ILM.
It also fixes an issue where using the `?human=true` flag could have caused the
parser not to work. These millisecond fields now follow the standard we use
elsewhere in the code, with additional fields added iff the `human` flag is
specified.
This is a breaking change for ILM, but since ILM has not yet been released, no
compatibility shim is needed.
Previously, testRunStateChangePolicyWithNextStep asserted that the
ClusterState before and after running the steps were equal. The test
only passed due to a race condition: The latch would be triggered by the
step execution, but the cluster state update thread would continue
running before committing the change to the cluster state. This allowed
the test to read the old cluster state and pass the equality check about
99.99% of the time.
The test now waits for the new cluster state to be committed before
checking that it is _not_ equal to the old cluster state.
This commit does a few things
- moves ILM-specifc rest yaml tests into plugin/ilm/qa, and creates special
:plugin:ilm:qa:rest module to test them
- removes the with-security tests of the yaml tests since they are covered in
the rest tests now
- moves ChangePolicyforIndexIT into the qa/multi-node project since that test is
not currently running in main ilm since integTest is disabled
This PR renames the CRUD APIS for ILM
GET _ilm/<policy>, _ilm -> _ilm/policy/<policy>, _ilm/policy
PUT _ilm/<policy> -> _ilm/policy/<policy>
DELETE _ilm/<policy> -> _ilm/policy/<policy>
closes#34929.
Previously, if ClusterStateActionSteps or ClusterStateWaitSteps threw an
exception executing, the exception would only be caught and logged by
the generic ClusterStateUpdateTask machinery and the index would become
stuck on that step.
Now, exceptions thrown in these steps will be caught and the index will
be moved to the Error step.
The Move To Step API now checks to see if the target step is an
AsyncActionStep, and if so, runs it.
Previously, AsyncActionSteps would only be run when they are entered by
executing the previous step, so if an AsyncActionStep was entered via
the Move To Step API, ILM would never touch that index again.
ILM would return a resource-not-found exception when requesting policies
while the IndexLifecycleMetaData is not initialized. The behavior here
should not be as extreme since it is not the user's fault.
This commit changes the behavior so that it succeeds and returns no policies
when no policy names are explicitely specified, otherwise keep the same behavior
of throwing an exception
With the introduction of _ilm/stop and _ilm/start APIs, the
use cases where one would only target a select group
of indices to start/stop has been reduced. Since there is no
strong use-case for skipping specific indices, it is best to
remove this functionality and only adding if later desired, with the
hopes of keeping things more simple.
through randomization, there is a chance that the mutateInstance
for PolicyStatsTests does not actually mutate the original object.
This PR aims to fix this
* Adds usage data for ILM
* Adds tests for IndexLifecycleFeatureSetUsage and friends
* Adds tests for IndexLifecycleFeatureSet
* Fixes merge errors
* Add number of indices managed to usage stats
Also adds more tests
* Addresses Review comments
* Removes Set Policy API in favour of setting index.lifecycle.name
directly
* Reinstates matcher that will still be used
* Cleans up code after rebase
* Adds test to check changing policy with ndex settings works
* Fixes TimeseriesLifecycleActionsIT after API removal
* Fixes docs tests
* Fixes case on close where lifecycle service was never created
Since there's no transition into the "new" phase it wasn't set until the "hot"
phase, so now we initialize it when initializing the policy context.
Resolves#34277
Having integration tests separated from the unit tests in the qa
directory works much more smoothly with our testing infrastructure,
matches what other plugins do, and tests in a more "real" deployment
scenario by having all plugins installed.
