The shard preference _primary, _replica and its variants were useful
for the asynchronous replication. However, with the current impl, they
are no longer useful and should be removed.
Closes#26335
It is the exciting return of the global checkpoint background
sync. Long, long ago, in snapshot version far, far away we had and only
had a global checkpoint background sync. This sync would fire
periodically and send the global checkpoint from the primary shard to
the replicas so that they could update their local knowledge of the
global checkpoint. Later in time, as we sped ahead towards finalizing
the initial version of sequence IDs, we realized that we need the global
checkpoint updates to be inline. This means that on a replication
operation, the primary shard would piggy back the global checkpoint with
the replication operation to the replicas. The replicas would update
their local knowledge of the global checkpoint and reply with their
local checkpoint. However, this could allow the global checkpoint on the
primary to advance again and the replicas would fall behind in their
local knowledge of the global checkpoint. If another replication
operation never fired, then the replicas would be permanently behind. To
account for this, we added one more sync that would fire when the
primary shard fell idle. However, this has problems:
- the shard idle timer defaults to five minutes, a long time to wait
for the replicas to learn of the new global checkpoint
- if a replica missed the sync, there was no follow-up sync to catch
them up
- there is an inherent race condition where the primary shard could
fall idle mid-operation (after having sent the replication request to
the replicas); in this case, there would never be a background sync
after the operation completes
- tying the global checkpoint sync to the idle timer was never natural
To fix this, we add two additional changes for the global checkpoint to
be synced to the replicas. The first is that we add a post-operation
sync that only fires if there are no operations in flight and there is a
lagging replica. This gives us a chance to sync the global checkpoint to
the replicas immediately after an operation so that they are always kept
up to date. The second is that we add back a global checkpoint
background sync that fires on a timer. This timer fires every thirty
seconds, and is not configurable (for simplicity). This background sync
is smarter than what we had previously in the sense that it only sends a
sync if the global checkpoint on at least one replica is lagging that of
the primary. When the timer fires, we can compare the global checkpoint
on the primary to its knowledge of the global checkpoint on the replicas
and only send a sync if there is a shard behind.

At current, we do not feel there is enough of a reason to shade the low
level rest client. It caused problems with commons logging and IDE's
during the brief time it was used. We did not know exactly how many
users will need this, and decided that leaving shading out until we
gather more information is best. Users can still shade the jar
themselves. For information and feeback, see issue #26366.

By making RestHighLevelClient Closeable, its close method will close the internal low-level REST client instance by default, which simplifies the way most users interact with the high-level client.
Its constructor accepts now a RestClientBuilder, which clarifies that the low-level REST client is internally created and managed.
It is still possible to provide an already built `RestClient` instance, but that can only be done by subclassing `RestHighLevelClient` and calling the protected constructor that accepts a `RestClient`. In such case a consumer has also to be provided, which controls what has to be done when the high-level client gets done.
Closes#26086
This commit updates the version for master to 7.0.0-alpha1. It also adds
the 6.1 version constant, and fixes many tests, as well as marking some
as awaits fix.
Closes#25893Closes#25870
This commit removes all external dependencies from the rest client jar
and shades them in an 'org.elasticsearch.client' package within the jar
using shadowJar gradle plugin. All projects that depended on the
existing jar have been converted to using the 'org.elasticsearch.client'
package prefixes to interact with the rest client.
Closes#25208
In the past global checkpoint syncing was done in the background based an interval set by an index setting. In order to set that setting something reasonable for a test, the master needed to know about the setting. Therefore the test didn't check global checkpoints if the master was old. These days the global checkpoint sync is inlined with indexing operations and that restriction is not needed.
This removes the remaining usage of `mapping.single_type` from the parent join
module and moves it's bwc test to the mixed cluster tests

This commit adds a gradle project, set inside the root build.gradle,
which controls all our bwc tests. This allows for seamless (ie no errant
CI failures) backporting of behavior.
Removes the need for the `_UNRELEASED` suffix on versions by detecting if a version should be unreleased or not based on the versions around it. This should make it simpler to automate the task of adding a new version label.
This commit renames the backwards-5.0 qa test to mixed-cluster and
creates a test within the project per wire compat version. Like with
rolling upgrade tests, the integTest task will run against the most
recent version, while all versions will be tested with the bwcTest task.
