The environment variable CONF_DIR was previously inconsistently used in
our packaging to customize the location of Elasticsearch configuration
files. The importance of this environment variable has increased
starting in 6.0.0 as it's now used consistently to ensure Elasticsearch
and all secondary scripts (e.g., elasticsearch-keystore) all use the
same configuration. The name CONF_DIR is there for legacy reasons yet
it's too generic. This commit renames CONF_DIR to ES_PATH_CONF.

In reindex APIs, when using the `slices` parameter to choose the number of slices, adds the option to specify `slices` as "auto" which will choose a reasonable number of slices. It uses the number of shards in the source index, up to a ceiling. If there is more than one source index, it uses the smallest number of shards among them.
This gives users an easy way to use slicing in these APIs without having to make decisions about how to configure it, as it provides a good-enough configuration for them out of the box. This may become the default behavior for these APIs in the future.
The percolator field mapper doesn't need to extract all terms and ranges from a bool query with must or filter clauses.
In order to help to default extraction behavior, boost fields can be configured, so that fields that are known for not being
selective enough can be ignored in favor for other fields or clauses with specific fields can forcefully take precedence over other clauses.
This can help selecting clauses for fields that don't match with a lot of percolator queries over other clauses and thus improving performance of the percolate query.
For example a status like field is something that should configured as an ignore field.
Queries on this field tend to match with more documents and so if clauses for this fields
get selected as best clause then that isn't very helpful for the candidate query that the
percolate query generates to filter out percolator queries that are likely not going to match.
With this commit we remove the following three previously unused
(and undocumented) Netty 4 related settings:
* transport.netty.max_cumulation_buffer_capacity,
* transport.netty.max_composite_buffer_components and
* http.netty.max_cumulation_buffer_capacity
from Elasticsearch.
* 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.
The goal of this similarity is to help users who would like to keep the
functionality of the `tf-idf` similarity that we want to remove, or to allow
for specific usec-cases (disabling idf, disabling tf, disabling length norm,
etc.) to not have to build a custom plugin and familiarize with the low-level
Lucene API.

On non-Windows platforms, we ignore the environment variable
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS (this is an environment variable that the JVM respects
by default for picking up extra JVM options). The primary reason that we
ignore this because of the Jayatana agent on Ubuntu; a secondary reason
is that it produces an annoying "Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: ..."
output message. When the elasticsearch-env batch script was introduced
for Windows, ignoring this environment variable was deliberately not
carried over as the primary reason does not apply on Windows. However,
after additional thinking, it seems that we should simply be consistent
to the extent possible here (and also avoid that annoying "Picked up
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: ..." on Windows too). This commit causes the Windows
version of elasticsearch-env to also ignore JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS.

The Writeble representation is less heavy to parse and that will benefit percolate performance and throughput.

Added a qa test that verifies that percolator queries written in older versions are still readable by the current version.
The example output for node info and cluster stats was outdated w.r.t.
to the information that is shown for plugins. With this commit we

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.

This commit adds the min wire/index compat versions to the main action
output. Not only will this make the compatility expected more
transparent, but it also allows to test which version others think the
compat versions are, similar to how we test the lucene version.
When a node tries to join a cluster, it goes through a validation step to make sure the node is compatible with the cluster. Currently we validation that the node can read the cluster state and that it is compatible with the indexes of the cluster. This PR adds validation that the joining node's version is compatible with the versions of existing nodes. Concretely we check that:
1) The node's min compatible version is higher or equal to any node in the cluster (this prevents a too-new node from joining)
2) The node's version is higher or equal to the min compat version of all cluster nodes (this prevents a too old join where, for example, the master is on 5.6, there's another 6.0 node in the cluster and a 5.4 node tries to join).
3) The node's major version is at least as higher as the lowest node in the cluster. This is important as we use the minimum version in the cluster to stop executing bwc code for operations that require multiple nodes. If the nodes are already operating in "new cluster mode", we should prevent nodes from the previous major to join (even if they are wire level compatible). This does mean that if you have a very unlucky partition during the upgrade which partitions all old nodes which are also a minority / data nodes only, the may not be able to re-join the cluster. We feel this edge case risk is well worth the simplification it brings to BWC layers only going one way. This restriction only holds if the cluster state has been recovered (i.e., the cluster has properly formed).
Also, the node join validation can now selectively fail specific nodes (previously the entire batch was failed). This is an important preparation for a follow up PR where we plan to have a rejected joining node die with dignity.
Also has updates to ScriptMetaData for allowing the old namespace format to be loaded all the way back through 5.0; however, it will throw an exception if two scripts share the same id but different languages.
Today we enable users to customize the environment through the use of
ES_INCLUDE. This made sense for legacy reasons when we did not have

need from a dedicated environment script. This commit removes support
for ES_INCLUDE as a first step towards a dedicated include script.

This commit expands on the migration note regarding the removal of
default.path.data and default.path.logs to include a note that users
that were relying on the defaults (the common case for path.logs), and
they carry over their previous elasticsearch.yml configruation file,
then they must add explicit values for path.data and path.logs.
403 can be confused with security. If an API doesn't support working against closed indices and closed indices are referred to in a request, that is a bad request, hence 400 is more appropriate.
Currently the `to` and `from` parameter in the `date_range` aggregation is not
parsed with the correct date field format from the mappings or the aggregation
if the argument is numeric, but always treated as a long value specifying
`epoch_millis`. This leads to problems e.g. when the format is `epoch_second`,
but the `to` and `from` are currently treated as millis.
With this change, we interpret these parameters according to the `format` of the target field.
If the `format` in the mappings is not compatible with numeric input values,
a compatible `format` (e.g. `epoch_millis`, `epoch_second`) must be specified in
the `date_range` aggregation itself, otherwise an error is thrown.

The Filtered Query has been deprecated in favour of the Bool Query with a filter context. However, this deleted page for the Filtered Query is often ranked highly in search results when searching for documentation on "filtered queries". Often people just copy the first code snippet they see, which in this case is the INCORRECT syntax (the correct syntax follows). I think reordering the examples would help avoid a lot of confusion (I have seen people make this same mistake 3 times now)
Adding a comment to indicate that the first example shouldn't be used
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.
This commit enables management of the main Elasticsearch log files

Requests that execute a stored script will no longer be allowed to specify the lang of the script. This information is stored in the cluster state making only an id necessary to execute against. Putting a stored script will still require a lang.
Indexing a join field on a document requires a value of type "object" and two sub fields "name"
and "parent". The "parent" field is only required on child documents, but the "name" field which
denotes the name of the relation is always needed. Previously, only the short-hand version of the
join field was documented. This adds documentation for the long-hand join field data, and
explicitly points out that just specifying the name of the relation for the field value is a
convenience shortcut.
This is a protection mechanism to prevent a single search request from
hitting a large number of shards in the cluster concurrently. If a search is
executed against all indices in the cluster this can easily overload the cluster
causing rejections etc. which is not necessarily desirable. Instead this PR adds
a per request limit of `max_concurrent_shard_requests` that throttles the number of
concurrent initial phase requests to `256` by default. This limit can be increased per request
and protects single search requests from overloading the cluster. Subsequent PRs can introduces
addiontional improvemetns ie. limiting this on a `_msearch` level, making defaults a factor of
the number of nodes or sort shards iters such that we gain the best concurrency across nodes.

Today when we run out of disk all kinds of crazy things can happen
and nodes are becoming hard to maintain once out of disk is hit.
While we try to move shards away if we hit watermarks this might not
be possible in many situations. Based on the discussion in #24299
this change monitors disk utilization and adds a flood-stage watermark
that causes all indices that are allocated on a node hitting the flood-stage
mark to be switched read-only (with the option to be deleted). This allows users to react on the low disk
situation while subsequent write requests will be rejected. Users can switch
individual indices read-write once the situation is sorted out. There is no
automatic read-write switch once the node has enough space. This requires
user interaction.
The flood-stage watermark is set to `95%` utilization by default.

With #23997 we have introduced a new internal index option that allows to resolve index expressions only against concrete indices while ignoring aliases. Such index option was applied to IndicesAliasesRequest, so that the index part of alias actions would only be resolved against concrete indices.
Same is done in this commit with delete index request. Deleting aliases has always been confusing as some users expect it to only remove the alias from the index (which has its own specific API). Even worse, in case of filtered aliases, deleting an alias may leave users with the expectation that only the documents that match the filter are deleted, which was never the case. To address all this confusion, delete index api works now only against concrete indices. WIldcard expressions will be only resolved against concrete index, as if aliases didn't exist. If one tries to delete against an alias, an IndexNotFoundException will be thrown regardless of whether the alias exists or not, as a concrete index with such a name doesn't exist.

This change removes the `postings` highlighter. This highlighter has been removed from Lucene master (7.x) because it behaves
exactly like the `unified` highlighter when index_options is set to `offsets`:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7815
It also makes the `unified` highlighter the default choice for highlighting a field (if `type` is not provided).
The strategy used internally by this highlighter remain the same as before, it checks `term_vectors` first, then `postings` and ultimately it re-analyzes the text.
Ultimately it rewrites the docs so that the options that the `unified` highlighter cannot handle are clearly marked as such.
There are few features that the `unified` highlighter is not able to handle which is why the other highlighters (`plain` and `fvh`) are still available.
I'll open separate issues for these features and we'll deprecate the `fvh` and `plain` highlighters when full support for these features have been added to the `unified`.

This commit refactors the query phase in order to be able
to automatically detect queries that can be early terminated.
If the index sort matches the query sort, the top docs collection is early terminated
on each segment and the computing of the total number of hits that match the query is delegated to a simple TotalHitCountCollector.
This change also adds a new parameter to the search request called `track_total_hits`.
It indicates if the total number of hits that match the query should be tracked.
If false, queries sorted by the index sort will not try to compute this information and
and will limit the collection to the first N documents per segment.
Aggregations are not impacted and will continue to see every document
even when the index sort matches the query sort and `track_total_hits` is false.

During package install on systemd-based systems, some sysctl settings
should be set (e.g. vm.max_map_count).
In some environments, changing sysctl settings plainly does not work;
previously a global environment variable named
ES_SKIP_SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS was introduced to skip calling sysctl, but
this causes trouble for:
- configuration management systems, which usually cannot apply an env
var when running a package manager
- package upgrades, which will not have the env var set any more, and
thus leaving the package management system in a bad state (possibly
half-way upgraded, can be very hard to recover)
This removes the env var again and instead of calling systemd-sysctl
manually, tells systemd to restart the wrapper unit - which itself can
be masked by system administrators or management tools if it is known
that sysctl does not work in a given environment.
The restart is not silent on systems in their default configuration, but
is ignored if the unit is masked.

Some response classes in the java api expose both `getTook()` which returns a `TimeValue` and `getTookInMillis` which returns a `long` value. `getTook()` is enough as one can do `getTook().millis()` to obtain the same result as `getTookInMillis()`, which can be removed.
* Adds nodes usage API to monitor usages of actions
The nodes usage API has 2 main endpoints
/_nodes/usage and /_nodes/{nodeIds}/usage return the usage statistics
for all nodes and the specified node(s) respectively.
At the moment only one type of usage statistics is available, the REST
actions usage. This records the number of times each REST action class is
called and when the nodes usage api is called will return a map of rest
action class name to long representing the number of times each of the action
classes has been called.
Still to do:
* [x] Create usage service to store usage statistics
* [x] Record usage in REST layer
* [x] Add Transport Actions
* [x] Add REST Actions
* [x] Tests
* [x] Documentation
* Rafactors UsageService so counts are done by the handlers
* Fixing up docs tests
* Adds a name to all rest actions
* Addresses review comments
This commit adds a new bg_count field to the REST response of
SignificantTerms aggregations. Similarly to the bg_count that already
exists in significant terms buckets, this new bg_count field is set at
the aggregation level and is populated with the superset size value.
Currently global ordinals are documented under `fielddata`. It moves them to
their own file since they also work with doc values and fielddata is on the way
out.
Closes#23101
This commit adds a `doc_count` field to the response body of Matrix
Stats aggregation. It exposes the number of documents involved in
the computation of statistics, a value that can already be retrieved using
the method MatrixStats.getDocCount() in the Java API.
* SignificantText aggregation - like significant_terms but doesn’t require fielddata=true, recommended used with `sampler` agg to limit expense of tokenizing docs and takes optional `filter_duplicate_text`:true setting to avoid stats skew from repeated sections of text in search results.
Closes#23674
Adds a "magic" key to the yaml testing stash mostly for use with
documentation tests. When unstashing an object, `$_path` is the
path into the current position in the object you are unstashing.
This means that in docs tests you can use
`// TESTRESPONSEs/somevalue/$body.${_path}/` to mean "replace
`somevalue` with whatever is the response in the same position."
Compare how you must carefully mock out all the numbers in the profile
response without this change:
```

Currently a `delete document` request against a non-existing index actually **creates** this index.
With this change the `delete document` no longer creates the previously non-existing index and throws an `index_not_found` exception instead.
However as discussed in https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/15451#issuecomment-165772026, if an external version is explicitly used, the current behavior is preserved and the index is still created and the document is marked for deletion.
Fixes#15425
Native scripts have been replaced in documentation by implementing
a ScriptEngine and they were deprecated in 5.5.0. This commit
removes the native script infrastructure for 6.0.
closes#19966
This PR adds a new thread pool type: `fixed_auto_queue_size`. This thread pool
behaves like a regular `fixed` threadpool, except that every
`auto_queue_frame_size` operations (default: 10,000) in the thread pool,
[Little's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little's_law) is calculated and
used to adjust the pool's `queue_size` either up or down by 50. A minimum and
maximum is taken into account also. When the min and max are the same value, a
regular fixed executor is used instead.
The `SEARCH` threadpool is changed to use this new type of thread pool. However,
the min and max are both set to 1000, meaning auto adjustment is opt-in rather
than opt-out.
Resolves#3890
In scripts (at least some of the languages), the terms dictionary and
postings can be access with the special _index variable. This is for
very advanced use cases which want to do their own scoring. The problem
is segment level statistics must be recomputed for every document.
Additionally, this is not friendly to the terms index caching as the
order of looking up terms should be controlled by lucene.
This change removes _index from scripts. Anyone using it can and should
instead write a Similarity plugin, which is explicitly designed to allow
doing the calculations needed for a relevance score.
closes#19359
Today when an index is `read-only` the index is also blocked from
being deleted which sometimes is undesired since in-order to make
changes to a cluster indices must be deleted to free up space. This is
a likely scenario in a hosted environment when disk-space is limited to switch
indices read-only but allow deletions to free up space.
Our strong recommendation is disabling swap over any other alternative
to avoid the JVM from landing on disk. This commit clarifies the docs in
this regard.
This commit documents how to write a `ScriptEngine` in order to use
expert internal apis, such as using Lucene directly to find index term
statistics. These documents prepare the way to remove both native
scripts and IndexLookup.
The example java code is actually compiled and tested under a new gradle
subproject for example plugins. This change does not yet breakup
jvm-example into the new examples dir, which should be done separately.

This commit adds support for histogram and date_histogram agg compound order by refactoring and reusing terms agg order code. The major change is that the Terms.Order and Histogram.Order classes have been replaced/refactored into a new class BucketOrder. This is a breaking change for the Java Transport API. For backward compatibility with previous ES versions the (date)histogram compound order will use the first order. Also the _term and _time aggregation order keys have been deprecated; replaced by _key.
Relates to #20003: now that all these aggregations use the same order code, it should be easier to move validation to parse time (as a follow up PR).
Relates to #14771: histogram and date_histogram aggregation order will now be validated at reduce time.
Closes#23613: if a single BucketOrder that is not a tie-breaker is added with the Java Transport API, it will be converted into a CompoundOrder with a tie-breaker.
Currently, the get snapshots API (e.g. /_snapshot/{repositoryName}/_all)
provides information about snapshots in the repository, including the
snapshot state, number of shards snapshotted, failures, etc. In order
to provide information about each snapshot in the repository, the call
must read the snapshot metadata blob (`snap-{snapshot_uuid}.dat`) for
every snapshot. In cloud-based repositories, this can be expensive,
both from a cost and performance perspective. Sometimes, all the user
wants is to retrieve all the names/uuids of each snapshot, and the
indices that went into each snapshot, without any of the other status
information about the snapshot. This minimal information can be
retrieved from the repository index blob (`index-N`) without needing to
read each snapshot metadata blob.
This commit enhances the get snapshots API with an optional `verbose`
parameter. If `verbose` is set to false on the request, then the get
snapshots API will only retrieve the minimal information about each
snapshot (the name, uuid, and indices in the snapshot), and only read
this information from the repository index blob, thereby giving users
the option to retrieve the snapshots in a repository in a more
cost-effective and efficient manner.
Closes#24288
Now that indices have a single type by default, we can move to the next step
and identify documents using their `_id` rather than the `_uid`.
One notable change in this commit is that I made deletions implicitly create
types. This helps with the live version map in the case that documents are
deleted before the first type is introduced. Otherwise there would be no way
to differenciate `DELETE index/foo/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1` from
`DELETE index/bar/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1`, even though those are
different if versioning is involved.
This commit adds support for indexing and searching a new ip_range field type. Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are supported. Tests are updated and docs are added.
`_search_shards`API today only returns aliases names if there is an alias
filter associated with one of them. Now it can be useful to see which aliases
have been expanded for an index given the index expressions. This change also includes non-filtering aliases even without a filtering alias being present.
Adds CONSOLE to cross-cluster-search docs but skips them for testing
because we don't have a second cluster set up. This gets us the
`VIEW IN CONSOLE` and `COPY AS CURL` links and makes sure that they
are valid yaml (not json, technically) but doesn't get testing.
Which is better than we had before.
Adds CONSOLE to the dynamic templates docs and ingest-node docs.
The ingest-node docs contain a *ton* of non-console snippets. We
might want to convert them to full examples later, but that can be
a separate thing.
Relates to #18160
Rewrites most of the snippets in the `innert_hits` docs to be
complete examples and enables `VIEW IN CONSOLE`, `COPY AS CURL`,
and automatic testing of the snippets.
Today we go to heroic lengths to workaround bugs in the JDK or around
issues like BSD jails to get information about the underlying file
store. For example, we went to lengths to work around a JDK bug where
the file store returned would incorrectly report whether or not a path
is writable in certain situations in Windows operating
systems. Another bug prevented getting file store information on
Windows on a virtual drive on Windows. We no longer need to work
around these bugs, we could simply try to write to disk and let an I/O
exception arise if we could not write to the disk or take advantage of
the fact that these bugs are fixed in recent releases of the JDK
(e.g., the file store bug is fixed since 8u72). Additionally, we
collected information about all file stores on the system which meant
that if the user had a stale NFS mount, Elasticsearch could hang and
fail on startup if that mount point was not available. Finally, we
collected information through Lucene about whether or not a disk was a
spinning disk versus an SSD, information that we do not need since we
assume SSDs by default. This commit takes into consideration that we
simply do not need this heroic effort, we do not need information
about all file stores, and we do not need information about whether or
not a disk spins to greatly simplfy file store handling.

Open/Close index api have allow_no_indices set to false by default, while delete index has it set to true. The flag controls where a wildcard expression that matches no indices will be ignored or an error will be thrown instead. This commit aligns open/close default behaviour to that of delete index.
Add info about the base image used and the github repo of
elasticsearch-docker.
Clarify that setting `memlock=-1:-1` is only a requirement when
`bootstrap_memory_lock=true` and the alternatives we document
elsewhere in docs for disabling swap are valid for Docker as well.
Additionally, with latest versions of docker-ce shipping with
unlimited (or high enough) defaults for `nofile` and `nproc`, clarify
that explicitly setting those per ES container is not required, unless
they are not defined in the Docker daemon.
Finally simplify production `docker-compose.yml` example by removing
unneeded options.

This change makes the request builder code-path same as `Client#execute`. The request builder used to return a `ListenableActionFuture` when calling execute, which allows to associate listeners with the returned future. For async execution though it is recommended to use the `execute` method that accepts an `ActionListener`, like users would do when using `Client#execute`.

The _cat/shards docs asserted that one of the columns looked like
a propery byte size but used a regex like `\d+\.\d+.*` which doesn't
match `0b` which is a possible value. Instead this uses
`\d(\.\d+)?[kmg]?b`.
The response is attempting to illustrate the sync_id marker, but in
the test the index is too "fresh" to have a sync marker. So the test
needs to execute a sync flush behind the scenes so that the marker
is present
Currently we don't write the count value to the geo_centroid aggregation rest response,
but it is provided via the java api and the count() method in the GeoCentroid interface.
We should add this parameter to the rest output and also provide it via the getProperty()
method.
The alias parameter was documented as a list in our rest-spec, yet only the first value out of a list was getting read and processed. This commit adds support for multiple aliases to _cat/aliases
Closes#23661
This adds the `index.mapping.single_type` setting, which enforces that 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
This commit adds a link to the minimum master nodes section of the
important settings docs from the Zen discovery docs to clarify the
meaning and importance of setting minimum master nodes to a quorum of
master-eligible nodes.
Relates #24311
The `count` value in the stats aggregation represents a simple doc count
that doesn't require a formatted version. We didn't render an "as_string"
version for count in the rest response, so the method should also be
removed in favour of just using String.valueOf(getCount()) if a string
version of the count is needed.
Closes#24287
I just spent ages debugging a script I wrote after following the documentation. It was not clear to me that _index is not defined when using painless; if it was mentioned on this page I would have saved myself a lot of time.
For the Windows service, JAVA_HOME should be set to the path to the
JDK. We should make this clear in the docs to help users avoid
frustrating startup problems.

Add option "enable_position_increments" with default value true.

This commit rewords the note on whitespace in Log4j settings to not
refer to only of the examples on the page, but instead be clear that the
note applies to all the examples on the page.
A confusing thing that can happen when configuring Log4j is that
extraneous whitespace throws off its configuration parsing yet the error
messages that arise give no indication that this is the problem. This
commit adds a note to the docs.

This commit removes the deprecated cloud.aws.* settings. It also removes
backcompat for specifying `discovery.type: ec2`, and unused aws signer
code which was removed in a previous PR.
This change adds an index setting to define how the documents should be sorted inside each Segment.
It allows any numeric, date, boolean or keyword field inside a mapping to be used to sort the index on disk.
It is not allowed to use a `nested` fields inside an index that defines an index sorting since `nested` fields relies on the original sort of the index.
This change does not add early termination capabilities in the search layer. This will be added in a follow up.

Elasticsearch runs as user elasticsearch with uid:gid 1000:1000 inside
the Docker container. Clarify that bind mounted local directories need
to be accessible by this user.
Relates #24092
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
The docs don't clearly explain that the deleted doc count also comes from lucene.
IMHO, it is worth highlighting this information separately, as a Note.
Apart from that, there should be an official recommended alternative as well.
Today Elasticsearch allows default settings to be used only if the
actual setting is not set. These settings are trappy, and the complexity
invites bugs. This commit removes support for default settings with the
exception of default.path.data, default.path.conf, and default.path.logs
which are maintainted to support packaging. A follow-up will remove
support for these as well.

Now that we have incremental reduce functions for topN and aggregations
we can set the default for `action.search.shard_count.limit` to unlimited.
This still allows users to restrict these settings while by default we executed
