Simon Willnauer bd7efa908a Add ability to split shards (#26931)
This change adds a new `_split` API that allows to split indices into a new
index with a power of two more shards that the source index.  This API works
alongside the `_shrink` API but doesn't require any shard relocation before
indices can be split.

The split operation is conceptually an inverse `_shrink` operation since we
initialize the index with a _syntetic_ number of routing shards that are used
for the consistent hashing at index time. Compared to indices created with
earlier versions this might produce slightly different shard distributions but
has no impact on the per-index backwards compatibility.  For now, the user is
required to prepare an index to be splittable by setting the
`index.number_of_routing_shards` at index creation time.  The setting allows the
user to prepare the index to be splittable in factors of
`index.number_of_routing_shards` ie. if the index is created with
`index.number_of_routing_shards: 16` and `index.number_of_shards: 2` it can be
split into `4, 8, 16` shards. This is an intermediate step until we can make
this the default. This also allows us to safely backport this change to 6.x.

The `_split` operation is implemented internally as a DeleteByQuery on the
lucene level that is executed while the primary shards execute their initial
recovery. Subsequent merges that are triggered due to this operation will not be
executed immediately. All merges will be deferred unti the shards are started
and will then be throttled accordingly.

This change is intended for the 6.1 feature release but will not support pre-6.1
indices to be split unless these indices have been shrunk before. In that case
these indices can be split backwards into their original number of shards.

Simon Willnauer 502a775a7c Add primitive to shrink an index into a single shard (#18270)
This adds a low level primitive operations to shrink an existing
index into a new index with a single shard. This primitive expects
all shards of the source index to allocated on a single node. Once the target index is initializing on the shrink node it takes a snapshot of the source index shards and copies all files into the target indices data folder. An [optimization](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7300) coming in Lucene 6.1 will also allow for optional constant time copy if hard-links are supported by the filesystem. All mappings are merged into the new indexes metadata once the snapshots have been taken on the merge node.

To shrink an existing index all shards must be moved to a single node (one instance of each shard) and the index must be read-only:

```BASH
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/logs/_settings' -d '{
    "settings" : {
        "index.routing.allocation.require._name" : "shrink_node_name",
        "index.blocks.write" : true 
    }
}
```
once all shards are started on the shrink node. the new index can be created via:

```BASH
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/logs/_shrink/logs_single_shard' -d '{
    "settings" : {
        "index.codec" : "best_compression",
        "index.number_of_replicas" : 1
    }
}'
```

This API will perform all needed check before the new index is created and selects the shrink node based on the allocation of the source index. This call returns immediately, to monitor shrink progress the recovery API should be used since all copy operations are reflected in the recovery API with byte copy progress etc.

The shrink operation does not modify the source index, if a shrink operation should
be canceled or if the shrink failed, the target index can simply be deleted and
all resources are released.

Adrien Grand 67d233cecd Remove warmers and the warmer API.
Warmers are now barely useful and will be removed in 3.0. Note that this only
removes the warmer API and query-based warmers. We still have warmers internally
for eg. global ordinals.

Britta Weber a031232c48 [doc] remove reference to seal, was removed in #11336 2015-05-29 11:40:34 +02:00
Boaz Leskes b376a3fbfb Move index sealing terminology to synced flush
#10032 introduced the notion of sealing an index by marking it with a special read only marker, allowing for a couple of optimization to happen. The most important one was to speed up recoveries of shards where we know nothing has changed since they were online by skipping the file based sync phase. During the implementation we came up with a light notion which achieves the same recovery benefits but without the read only aspects which we dubbed synced flush. The fact that it was light weight and didn't put the index in read only mode, allowed us to do it automatically in the background which has great advantage. However we also felt the need to allow users to manually trigger this operation.

 The implementation at #11179 added the sync flush internal logic and the manual (rest) rest API. The name of the API was modeled after the sealing terminology which may end up being confusing. This commit changes the API name to match the internal synced flush naming, namely `{index}/_flush/synced'.

  On top of that it contains a couple other changes:
   - Remove all java client API. This feature is not supposed to be called programtically by applications but rather by admins.
   - Improve rest responses making structure similar to other (flush) API
   - Change IndexShard#getOperationsCount to exclude the internal +1 on open shard . it's confusing to get 1 while there are actually no ongoing operations
   - Some minor other clean ups

Ryan Ernst 693d91e41c Mappings: Remove delete mapping API
Deleting a type from an index is inherently dangerous because
the type can be recreated with new mappings which may conflict
with existing segments still using the old mappings. This
removes the ability to delete a type (similar to how deleting
fields within a type is not allowed, for the same reason).

Colin Goodheart-Smithe 5fe782b784 Indices API: Added GET Index API
Returns information about settings, aliases, warmers, and mappings. Basically returns the IndexMetadata. This new endpoint replaces the /{index}/_alias|_aliases|_mapping|_mappings|_settings|_warmer|_warmers and /_alias|_aliases|_mapping|_mappings|_settings|_warmer|_warmers endpoints whilst maintaining the same response formats.  The only exception to this is on the /_alias|_aliases|_warmer|_warmers endpoint which will now return a section for 'aliases' or 'warmers' even if no aliases or warmers exist. This backwards compatibility change is documented in the reference docs.

Closes #4069

Andrew Selden 89e45fde9c Recovery API
Adds a new API endpoint at /_recovery as well as to the Java API. The
recovery API allows one to see the recovery status of all shards in the
cluster. It will report on percent complete, recovery type, and which
files are copied.

Closes #4637

Boaz Leskes 8819f91d47 Add a GetFieldMapping API
This new API allows to get the mapping for a specific set of fields rather than get the whole index mapping and traverse it.
The fields to be retrieved can be specified by their full path, index name and field name and will be resolved in this order.
In case multiple field match, the first one will be returned.

Since we are now generating the output (rather then fall back to the stored mapping), you can specify `include_defaults`=true on the request to have default values returned.
