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
```
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.

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
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.
Relates #54058
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.
Relates to #55237
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.
closes#53946
This change introduces a new feature for indices so that they can be
hidden from wildcard expansion. The feature is referred to as hidden
indices. An index can be marked hidden through the use of an index
setting, `index.hidden`, at creation time. One primary use case for
this feature is to have a construct that fits indices that are created
by the stack that contain data used for display to the user and/or
intended for querying by the user. The desire to keep them hidden is
to avoid confusing users when searching all of the data they have
indexed and getting results returned from indices created by the
system.
Hidden indices have the following properties:
* API calls for all indices (empty indices array, _all, or *) will not
return hidden indices by default.
* Wildcard expansion will not return hidden indices by default unless
the wildcard pattern begins with a `.`. This behavior is similar to
shell expansion of wildcards.
* REST API calls can enable the expansion of wildcards to hidden
indices with the `expand_wildcards` parameter. To expand wildcards
to hidden indices, use the value `hidden` in conjunction with `open`
and/or `closed`.
* Creation of a hidden index will ignore global index templates. A
global index template is one with a match-all pattern.
* Index templates can make an index hidden, with the exception of a
global index template.
* Accessing a hidden index directly requires no additional parameters.
