This adds an API for force merging lucene segments. The `/_optimize` API is now
deprecated and replaced by the `/_forcemerge` API, which has all the same flags
and action, just a different name.
* Removed the docs for `index.compound_format` and `index.compound_on_flush` - these are expert settings which should probably be removed (see https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/10778)
* Removed the docs for `index.index_concurrency` - another expert setting
* Labelled the segments verbose output as experimental
* Marked the `compression`, `precision_threshold` and `rehash` options as experimental in the cardinality and percentile aggs
* Improved the experimental text on `significant_terms`, `execution_hint` in the terms agg, and `terminate_after` param on count and search
* Removed the experimental flag on the `geobounds` agg
* Marked the settings in the `merge` and `store` modules as experimental, rather than the modules themselves
Closes#10782
Issue #9566 raises the point that setting the number of shards on a closed index can lead to this index not beeing able to open again. This change in documentation is ment to warn the user about this issue.
We now have a very useful annotation to mark features or parameters as
experimental. Let's use it! This commit replaces some custom text warnings with
this annotation and adds this annotation to some existing features/parameters:
- inner_hits (unreleased yet)
- terminate_after (released in 1.4)
- per-bucket doc count errors in the terms agg (released in 1.4)
I also tagged with this annotation settings which should either be not needed
(like the ability to evict entries from the filter cache based on time) or that
are too deep into the way that Elasticsearch works like the Directory
implementation or merge settings.
Close#9563
make the "es090" postings format read-only, just to support old segments. There is a test version that subclasses it with write-capability for testing.
Closes#8571
This commit adds the ability to enable / disable relocations
on an entire cluster or on individual indices for either:
* `primaries` - only primaries can rebalance
* `replica` - only replicas can rebalance
* `all` - everything can rebalance (default)
* `none` - all rebalances are disabled
similar to the allocation enable / disable functionality.
Relates to #7288
This documentation was dangerous because it felt like it was possible to gain
substantial performance by just switching the codec of the index.
However, non-default codecs are dangerous to use since they are not supported
in terms of backward compatibility, and most improvements that they bring have
been folded into the default codec anyway (for example, the default codec
"pulses" postings lists that contain a single document).
Previously if the user provided a non-conforming string, it would blow up with
`java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1`
which is not a *helpful* error message.
Also updated the documentation to make the possible setting values more clear.
Close#5752
`allocation.disable_new_allocation`, `allocation.disable_allocation`, `allocation.disable_replica_allocation`,
in favour for the enable allocation decider which has a single option `allocation.enable` wich can be set to the following values:
`none`, `new_primaries`, `primaries` and `all` (default).
