* [ILM] Add documentation for error handling in ILM
This adds some initial documentation for error handling and retrying failed
steps for index lifecycle management
* [DOCS] ILM API Ref edits
* [DOCS] Fixed endpoint for DELETE policy.
* [DOCS] Removed comparison to setting index.lifecycle.name to null.
* [DOCS] Fixed xrefs to explain API.
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.
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.
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>
