* [ML] adding prediction_field_type to inference config (#55128)
Data frame analytics dynamically determines the classification field type. This field type then dictates the encoded JSON that is written to Elasticsearch.
Inference needs to know about this field type so that it may provide the EXACT SAME predicted values as analytics.
Here is added a new field `prediction_field_type` which indicates the desired type. Options are: `string` (DEFAULT), `number`, `boolean` (where close_to(1.0) == true, false otherwise).
Analytics provides the default `prediction_field_type` when the model is created from the process.
Updates the supported upgrade path table in [Upgrade Elasticsearch][0]
to include a new row for maintenance releases. For example, this row
covers upgrading from 7.6.0 to 7.6.2.
The new table row only displays for releases greater than n.x.0. For
example, the new row will display for the 7.7.1 release but not the
7.7.0 release.

Provides basic repository-level stats that will allow us to get some insight into how many
requests are actually being made by the underlying SDK. Currently only tracks GET and LIST
calls for S3 repositories. Most of the code is unfortunately boiler plate to add a new endpoint
that will help us better understand some of the low-level dynamics of searchable snapshots.
With this change, when a task is canceled, the task manager will cancel
not only its direct child tasks but all also its descendant tasks.
Closes#50990
Adds support for filters to T-Test aggregation. The filters can be used to
select populations based on some criteria and use values from the same or
different fields.
Closes#53692
The secure_settings_password was never taken into consideration in
the ReloadSecureSettings API. This commit fixes that and adds
necessary REST layer testing. Doing so, it also:
- Allows TestClusters to have a password protected keystore
so that it can be set for tests.
- Adds a parameter to the run task so that elastisearch can
be run with a password protected keystore from source.
The usage of local parameter for GetFieldMappingRequest has been removed from the underlying transport action since v2.0.
This PR deprecates the parameter from rest layer. It will be removed in next major version.
Changes boilerplate sentence of "If using a field as the argument, this
parameter only supports..." to "...this parameter supports only...".
The latter is a bit more clear and readable.
Some of these characters are special to Asciidoctor and they ruin the
rendering on this page. Instead, we use a macro to passthrough these
characters without Asciidoctor applying any subtitutions to them. This
commit then addresses some rendering issues in the thread pool docs.

We found some problems during the test.
Data: 200Million docs, 1 shard, 0 replica
hits | avg | sum | value_count |
----------- | ------- | ------- | ----------- |
20,000 | .038s | .033s | .063s |
200,000 | .127s | .125s | .334s |
2,000,000 | .789s | .729s | 3.176s |
20,000,000 | 4.200s | 3.239s | 22.787s |
200,000,000 | 21.000s | 22.000s | 154.917s |
The performance of `avg`, `sum` and other is very close when performing
statistics, but the performance of `value_count` has always been poor,
even not on an order of magnitude. Based on some common-sense knowledge,
we think that `value_count` and sum are similar operations, and the time
consumed should be the same. Therefore, we have discussed the agg
of `value_count`.
The principle of counting in es is to traverse the field of each
document. If the field is an ordinary value, the count value is
increased by 1. If it is an array type, the count value is increased
by n. However, the problem lies in traversing each document and taking
out the field, which changes from disk to an object in the Java
language. We summarize its current problems with Elasticsearch as:
- Number cast to string overhead, and GC problems caused by a large
number of strings
- After the number type is converted to string, sorting and other
unnecessary operations are performed
Here is the proof of type conversion overhead.
```
// Java long to string source code, getChars is very time-consuming.
public static String toString(long i) {
int size = stringSize(i);
if (COMPACT_STRINGS) {
byte[] buf = new byte[size];
getChars(i, size, buf);
return new String(buf, LATIN1);
} else {
byte[] buf = new byte[size * 2];
StringUTF16.getChars(i, size, buf);
return new String(buf, UTF16);
}
}
```
test type | average | min | max | sum
------------ | ------- | ---- | ----------- | -------
double->long | 32.2ns | 28ns | 0.024ms | 3.22s
long->double | 31.9ns | 28ns | 0.036ms | 3.19s
long->String | 163.8ns | 93ns | 1921 ms | 16.3s
particularly serious.
Our optimization code is actually very simple. It is to manage different
types separately, instead of uniformly converting to string unified
processing. We added type identification in ValueCountAggregator, and
made special treatment for number and geopoint types to cancel their
type conversion. Because the string type is reduced and the string
constant is reduced, the improvement effect is very obvious.

- The results are more in line with common sense. `value_count` is about
the same as `avg`, `sum`, etc., or even lower than these. Previously,
`value_count` was much larger than avg and sum, and it was not even an
order of magnitude when the amount of data was large.
- When calculating numeric types such as `double` and `long`, the
performance is improved by about 8 to 9 times; when calculating the
`geo_point` type, the performance is improved by 18 to 20 times.
The use of available processors, the terminology, and the settings
around it have evolved over time. This commit cleans up some places in
the codes and in the docs to adjust to the current terminology.
Creates a reusable template for token filter reference documentation.
Contributors can make a copy of this template and customize it when
documenting new token filters.

In 7.x, an index template will fail to apply if it contains a `_default_`
mapping. Several users have expressed confusion over the fact that loading the
template doesn't show any default mappings. This docs change clarifies that in
order to see all mappings in the template, you must pass `include_type_name`.
Adds a detailed example to the "Avoid scripts" section of the "Tune
for search speed" docs. The detail outlines how a script used to
transform indexed data can be moved to ingest.
The update also removes an outdated reference to supported script
languages.
This commit adds a new point field that is able to index arbitrary pair of values (x/y)
in the cartesian space. It only supports filtering using shape queries at the moment.
This is a backport of #54803 for 7.x.
This pull request cherry picks the squashed commit from #54803 with the additional commits:

Adds t_test metric aggregation that can perform paired and unpaired two-sample
t-tests. In this PR support for filters in unpaired is still missing. It will
be added in a follow-up PR.

Today when canceling a task we broadcast ban/unban requests to all nodes
in the cluster. This strategy does not scale well for hierarchical
cancellation. With this change, we will track outstanding child requests
and broadcast the cancellation to only nodes that have outstanding child
tasks. This change also prevents a parent task from sending child
requests once it got canceled.

Looking into #50237 I realized that two of the examples given in the
documentation around date math rounding for range queries on date fields using
`gt` and `lt` is slightly off by a nanosecond. This PR changes this to the
bounds that are currently parsed using these parameters.

In #33933 we disallowed changing the `enabled` parameter in object mappings.
However, the fix didn't cover the root object mapper. This PR adjusts the change
to also include the root mapper and clarifies the error message.
The `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec` recovery bandwidth limit can differ
between nodes if it is not set dynamically, but today this is not obvious. This
commit adds a paragraph to its documentation clarifying how to set different
bandwidth limits on each node.

* [ML] add new inference_config field to trained model config (#54421)
A new field called `inference_config` is now added to the trained model config object. This new field allows for default inference settings from analytics or some external model builder.
The inference processor can still override whatever is set as the default in the trained model config.
* fixing for backport
* [ML] prefer secondary authorization header for data[feed|frame] authz (#54121)
Secondary authorization headers are to be used to facilitate Kibana spaces support + ML jobs/datafeeds.
Now on PUT/Update/Preview datafeed, and PUT data frame analytics the secondary authorization is preferred over the primary (if provided).

* [ML] add num_matches and preferred_to_categories to category defintion objects (#54214)
This adds two new fields to category definitions.
- `num_matches` indicating how many documents have been seen by this category
- `preferred_to_categories` indicating which other categories this particular category supersedes when messages are categorized.
These fields are only guaranteed to be up to date after a `_flush` or `_close`

This commit corrects the description for the request URI index for the Multi Get (mget) API.
The index can only be a single index name (multiple or wildcard expressions not supported),
and acts as the index to use when "ids" are specified, or a document in the "docs" array does
not specify an index.

This commit adds a top-level link to the autoscaling API reference page
to the API docs. Additionally, we add a conditional guard on the API
pages to only include them in development builds of the docs.
EQL functions are an easy way for users to transform indexed data
at search time. However, using multiple functions can make
queries difficult to write and slows search speeds.
Users can circumvent this by indexing fields containing the transformed
data, but that usually slows index speeds.
This adds a related tip and example covering these tradeoffs.
This commit is the first in a series of commits that introduces
autoscaling policies, and APIs for working with them. For now, we
introduce the basic infrastructure, and a single API for putting an
autoscaling policy. We will follow in rapid succession with APIs for
getting, and deleting autoscaling policies.
This is a simple naming change PR, to fix the fact that "metadata" is a
single English word, and for too long we have not followed general
naming conventions for it. We are also not consistent about it, for
example, METADATA instead of META_DATA if we were trying to be
consistent with MetaData (although METADATA is correct when considered
in the context of "metadata"). This was a simple find and replace across
the code base, only taking a few minutes to fix this naming issue
forever.
The anchor ID for the snapshot repository plugins section in the docs
was recently changes from `_repository_plugins` to
`snapshots-repository-plugins`.
This adds a corresponding redirect so no links are broken.
Remove mention of the `yellow` and `red` starting
health status from the rolling upgrade docs.
Instead, we should emphasize that users wait
for the node to recover with a health status of
`green` rather than the starting status.
