During master election each node pings in order to discover other nodes and validate the liveness of existing nodes. Based on this information the node either discovers an existing master or, if enough nodes are found (based on `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes>>) a new master will be elected.
Currently, the node that is elected as master will currently update it the cluster state to indicate the result of the election. Other nodes will submit a join request to the newly elected master node. Instead of immediately processing the election result, the elected master
node should wait for the incoming joins from other nodes, thus validating the elections result is properly applied. As soon as enough nodes have sent their joins request (based on the `minimum_master_nodes` settings) the cluster state is modified.
Note that if `minimum_master_nodes` is not set, this change has no effect.
Closes#12161
Require urls for URL repository to be listed in repositories.url.allowed_urls setting. This change ensures that only authorized URLs can be accessed by elasticsearch
Plugin Manager can now use another simplified form when a user wants to install an official plugin hosted at elasticsearch download service.
The form we use is:
```sh
bin/plugin install pluginname
```
As plugins share now the same version as elasticsearch, we can automatically guess what is the exact current version of the plugin manager script.
Also, download service will now use `/org.elasticsearch.plugins/pluginName/pluginName-version.zip` URL path to download a plugin.
If the older form is provided (`user/plugin/version` or `user/plugin`), we will still use:
* elasticsearch download service at `/user/plugin/plugin-version.zip`
* maven central with groupIp=user, artifactId=plugin and version=version
* github with user=user, repoName=plugin and tag=version
* github with user=user, repoName=plugin and branch=master if no version is set
Note that community plugin providers can use other download services by using `--url` option.
If you try to use the new form with a non core elasticsearch plugin, the plugin manager will reject
it and will give you all known core plugins.
```
Usage:
-u, --url [plugin location] : Set exact URL to download the plugin from
-i, --install [plugin name] : Downloads and installs listed plugins [*]
-t, --timeout [duration] : Timeout setting: 30s, 1m, 1h... (infinite by default)
-r, --remove [plugin name] : Removes listed plugins
-l, --list : List installed plugins
-v, --verbose : Prints verbose messages
-s, --silent : Run in silent mode
-h, --help : Prints this help message
[*] Plugin name could be:
elasticsearch-plugin-name for Elasticsearch 2.0 Core plugin (download from download.elastic.co)
elasticsearch/plugin/version for elasticsearch commercial plugins (download from download.elastic.co)
groupId/artifactId/version for community plugins (download from maven central or oss sonatype)
username/repository for site plugins (download from github master)

In order to be more consistent with what they do, the query cache has been
renamed to request cache and the filter cache has been renamed to query
cache.
A known issue is that package/logger names do no longer match settings names,
please speak up if you think this is an issue.
Here are the settings for which I kept backward compatibility. Note that they
are a bit different from what was discussed on #11569 but putting `cache` before
the name of what is cached has the benefit of making these settings consistent
with the fielddata cache whose size is configured by
`indices.fielddata.cache.size`:
* index.cache.query.enable -> index.requests.cache.enable
* indices.cache.query.size -> indices.requests.cache.size
* indices.cache.filter.size -> indices.queries.cache.size
Close#11569
Today, we disable CORS by default, but if a user simply enables CORS their instance of
elasticsearch will allow cross origin requests from anywhere, as the default value for allowed
origins is `*`.
This changes the default to be `null` so that no origins are allowed and the user must explicitly
specify the origins they wish to allow requests from. The documentation also mentions that there
is a security risk in using `*` as the value.
Closes#11169
Information about in-progress snapshot and restore processes is not really metadata and should be represented as a part of the cluster state similar to discovery nodes, routing table, and cluster blocks. Since in-progress snapshot and restore information is no longer part of metadata, this refactoring also enables us to handle cluster blocks in more consistent manner and allow creation of snapshots of a read-only cluster.
Closes#8102
While we had initially planned to keep rivers around in 2.0 to ease migration,
keeping support for rivers is challenging as it conflicts with other important
changes that we want to bring to 2.0 like synchronous dynamic mappings updates.
Nothing impossible to fix, but it would increase the complexity of how we
deal with dynamic mappings updates and manage rivers, while handling dynamic
mappings updates correctly is important for resiliency and rivers are on the go.
So removing rivers in 2.0 may well be a better trade-off.
The ResourceWatcher used settings prefixed `watcher.`, which
potentially could clash with the watcher plugin.
In order to prevent confusion, the settings have been renamed to
`resource.reload` prefixes.
This also uses the deprecation logging infrastructure introduced
in #11033 to log deprecated settings and their alternative at
startup.
Closes#11175
This change unifies the way scripts and templates are specified for all instances in the codebase. It builds on the Script class added previously and adds request building and parsing support as well as the ability to transfer script objects between nodes. It also adds a Template class which aims to provide the same functionality for template APIs
Closes#11091
Added infrastructure to allow basic member methods in the expressions
language to be called. The methods must have a signature with no arguments. Also
added the following member methods for date fields (and it should be easy to add more)
* getYear
* getMonth
* getDayOfMonth
* getHourOfDay
* getMinutes
* getSeconds
Allow fields to be accessed without using the member variable [value].
(Note that both ways can be used to access fields for back-compat.)
closes#10890
Groovy sandboxing was disabled by default from 1.4.3 on though since we found out that it could be worked around, so it makes little sense to keep it and maintain it.
Closes#10156Closes#10480
* 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
* In code, we mark `River`, `AbstractRiverComponent`, `RiverComponent` and `RiverName` classes as deprecated
* We log that information when a cluster is still using it
* We add this information in the plugins list as well
Plugins can now define multiple operations/contexts that they use scripts for. Fine-grained settings can then be used to enable/disable scripts based on each single registered context.
Also added a new generic category called `plugin`, which will be used as a default when the context is not specified. This allows us to restore backwards compatibility for plugins on `ScriptService` by restoring the old methods that don't require the script context and making them internally use the `plugin` context, as they can only be called from plugins.
Closes#10347Closes#10419
Now that fine-grained script settings are supported (#10116) we can remove support for the script.disable_dynamic setting.
Same result as `script.disable_dynamic: false` can be obtained as follows:
```
script.inline: on
script.indexed: on
```
An exception is thrown at startup when the old setting is set, so we make sure we tell users they have to change it rather than ignoring the setting.
Closes#10286
Allow to on/off scripting based on their source (where they get loaded from), the operation that executes them and their language.
The settings cover the following combinations:
- mode: on, off, sandbox
- source: indexed, dynamic, file
- engine: groovy, expressions, mustache, etc
- operation: update, search, aggs, mapping
The following settings are supported for every engine:
script.engine.groovy.indexed.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.mapping: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.mapping: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.mapping: sandbox/on/off
For ease of use, the following more generic settings are supported too:
script.indexed: sandbox/on/off
script.dynamic: sandbox/on/off
script.file: sandbox/on/off
script.update: sandbox/on/off
script.search: sandbox/on/off
script.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.mapping: sandbox/on/off
These will be used to calculate the more specific settings, using the stricter setting of each combination. Operation based settings have precedence over conflicting source based ones.
Note that the `mustache` engine is affected by generic settings applied to any language, while native scripts aren't as they are static by definition.
Also, the previous `script.disable_dynamic` setting can now be deprecated.
