This PR adds deprecation warnings when accessing System Indices via the REST layer. At this time, these warnings are only enabled for Snapshot builds by default, to allow projects external to Elasticsearch additional time to adjust their access patterns.
Deprecation warnings will be triggered by all REST requests which access registered System Indices, except for purpose-specific APIs which access System Indices as an implementation detail a few specific APIs which will continue to allow access to system indices by default:
- `GET _cluster/health`
- `GET {index}/_recovery`
- `GET _cluster/allocation/explain`
- `GET _cluster/state`
- `POST _cluster/reroute`
- `GET {index}/_stats`
- `GET {index}/_segments`
- `GET {index}/_shard_stores`
- `GET _cat/[indices,aliases,health,recovery,shards,segments]`
Deprecation warnings for accessing system indices take the form:
```
this request accesses system indices: [.some_system_index], but in a future major version, direct access to system indices will be prevented by default
```
This commit removes the documentation for some specific Searchable Snapshot REST APIs:
- clear cache
- searchable snapshot stats
- repository stats
These APIs are low-level and are useful to investigate the behavior of snapshot
backed indices but we expect them to be removed in the future or to appear in
a different form.
This pull request adds a new set of APIs that allows tracking the number of requests performed
by the different registered repositories.
In order to avoid losing data, the repository statistics are archived after the repository is closed for
a configurable retention period `repositories.stats.archive.retention_period`. The API exposes the
statistics for the active repositories as well as the modified/closed repositories.
Backport of #60371
Plugin discovery documentation contained information about installing
Elasticsearch 2.0 and installing an oracle JDK, both of which is no
longer valid.
While noticing that the instructions used cleartext HTTP to install
packages, this commit replaces HTTPs links instead of HTTP where possible.
In addition a few community links have been removed, as they do not seem
to exist anymore.

Corrects the `requests_per_second` query parameter used in the reindex,
delete by query, and update by query API docs.
The parameter defaults to `-1` (no throttle). `0` is not an allowed value.
* Adding new `require_alias` option to indexing requests (#58917)
This commit adds the `require_alias` flag to requests that create new documents.
This flag, when `true` prevents the request from automatically creating an index. Instead, the destination of the request MUST be an alias.
When the flag is not set, or `false`, the behavior defaults to the `action.auto_create_index` settings.
This is useful when an alias is required instead of a concrete index.

This commit adds data stream info to the `/_xpack` and `/_xpack/usage` APIs. Currently the usage is
pretty minimal, returning only the number of data streams and the number of indices currently
abstracted by a data stream:
```
...
"data_streams" : {
"available" : true,
"enabled" : true,
"data_streams" : 3,
"indices_count" : 17
}
...
```
This commit adds conditional logic to the docs to avoid including any
docs on searchable snapshots in released versions.
Rework of #58556 which was reverted.
Changes:
* Updates 'Data streams' intro page to focus on problem solution and
benefits.
* Adds 'Data streams overview' page to cover conceptual information,
based on existing content in the 'Data streams' intro.
* Adds diagrams for data streams and search/indexing request examples.
* Moves API jump list and API docs to a new 'Data streams APIs' section.
Links to these APIs will be available through tutorials.
* Add xrefs to existing docs for concepts like generation, write index,
and append-only.
Cleans up the reference documentation for the following
search API parameters:
* `_source` query parameter
* `_source_excludes` query parameter
* `_source_includes` query parameter
* `_source` request body parameter
* `hits._source` response property
This commit adds the `expand_wildcards` parameter documentation to the
`_cat/indices` and `_cat/aliases` docs, as those APIs now support
`expand_wildcards`. Additionally, clarifies the `expand_wildcards` docs with
respect to hidden indices.
* [Transform] add support for terms agg in transforms (#56696)
This adds support for `terms` and `rare_terms` aggs in transforms.
The default behavior is that the results are collapsed in the following manner:
`<AGG_NAME>.<BUCKET_NAME>.<SUBAGGS...>...`
Or if no sub aggs exist
`<AGG_NAME>.<BUCKET_NAME>.<_doc_count>`
The mapping is also defined as `flattened` by default. This is to avoid field explosion while still providing (limited) search and aggregation capabilities.
Today we report some statistics in terms of Lucene-level documents, which
differ from Elasticsearch-level documents in a number of ways and include
things like document tombstones which users cannot directly observe. This
commit clarifies the internal nature of these statistics.
Closes#56497
* [DOCS] Promote cron expressions info from Watcher to a separate topic.
* Fix table error
* Fixed xref
* Apply suggestions from code review

This has no practical impact on users since frozen indices are the only
throttled indices today. However this has an impact on upcoming features
that would use search throttling.
Filtering out throttled indices made sense a couple years ago, but as
we're now improving support for slow requests with `_async_search` and
exploring ways to reduce storage costs, this feature has most likely
become a trap, that we'd like to not have with upcoming features that
would use search throttling.

Documents several parameters missing from the bulk API's response body
docs. Also moves several response-related chunks of text to the response
body section.

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.
Fixing the naming of the HLRC values to match the ToXContent field names (i.e. the field names returned from an API call).
Also fixes the names in the _cat API as well.
