We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.
This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.
* Fix more REST tests.
* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.
* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.
* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.
* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false' in FullClusterRestartIT.
* Mention include_type_name in the REST templates docs.
* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
Rollover should not swap aliases when `is_write_index` is set to `true`.
Instead, both the new and old indices should have the rollover alias,
with the newly created index as the new write index
Updates Rollover to leverage the ability to preserve aliases and swap which is the write index.
Historically, Rollover would swap which index had the designated alias for writing documents against. This required users to keep a separate read-alias that enabled reading against both rolled over and newly created indices, whiles the write-alias was being re-assigned at every rollover.
With the ability for aliases to designate a write index, Rollover can be a bit more flexible with its use of aliases.
Updates include:
- Rollover validates that the target alias has a write index (the index that is being rolled over). This means that the restriction that aliases only point to one index is no longer necessary.
- Rollover explicitly (and atomically) swaps which index is the write-index by explicitly assigning the existing index to have `is_write_index: false` and have the newly created index have its rollover alias as `is_write_index: true`. This is only done when `is_write_index: true` on the write index. Default behavior of removing the alias from the rolled over index stays when `is_write_index` is not explicitly set
Relevant things that are staying the same:
- Rollover is rejected if there exist any templates that match the newly-created index and configure the rollover-alias
- I think this existed to prevent the situation where an alias pointed to two indices for a short while. Although this can technically be relaxed, the specific cases that are safe are really particular and difficult to reason, so leaving the broad restriction sounds good
This commit adds the is-write-index flag for aliases.
It allows requests to set the flag, and responses to display the flag.
It does not validate and/or affect any indexing/getting/updating behavior
of Elasticsearch -- this will be done in a follow-up PR.
While removing an index isn't actually an alias action, if we add
an alias action that deletes an index then we can delete and index
and add an alias with the same name as the index atomically, in
the same cluster state update.
Closes#20064
In the example there was a alias removed and then a different alias created for the same index, but I think actually swapping a index by another one for the same alias would make more sense as an example here.
Resolves conflicts between parent routing and alias routing with the following rule:
* The parent routing is ignored if there is an alias routing that matches the request.
Closes#3068
This PR is a simple doc patch to explicitly mention with an example of
how to create an alias using a glob pattern. This comes up from
time-to-time with our customers and in the community and although
mentioned in the documentation already, is not obvious.
Also mention that the alias will not auto-update as indices matching the
glob change.
Closes#12175Closes#12176
Fixes a bug where alias creation would allow `null` for index name, which thereby
applied the alias to _all_ indices. This patch makes the validator throw an
exception if the index is null.
```bash
POST /_aliases
{
"actions": [
{
"add": {
"alias": "empty-alias",
"index": null
}
}
]
}
```
```json
{
"error": "ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: Alias action [add]: [index] may not be null;]",
"status": 400
}
```
The reason this bug wasn't caught by the existing tests is because
the old test for nullness only validated against a cluster which had
zero indices. The null index is translated into "_all", and since
there are no indices, this fails because the index doesn't exist.
So the test passes.
However, as soon as you add an index, "_all" resolves and you get the
situation described in the original bug report: null index is
accepted by the alias, resolves to "_all" and gets applied to everything.
The REST tests, otoh, explicitly tested this bug as a real feature and therefore
passed. The REST tests were modified to change this behavior.
Fixes#7863
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
It is now possible to specify aliases during index creation:
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test' -d '
{
"aliases" : {
"alias1" : {},
"alias2" : {
"filter" : { "term" : {"field":"value"}}
}
}
}'
Closes#4920

PUT options for _mapping:
Single type can now be added with
`[PUT|POST] {index|_all|*|regex|blank}/[_mapping|_mappings]/type`
and
`[PUT|POST] {index|_all|*|regex|blank}/type/[_mapping|_mappings]`
PUT options for _warmer:
PUT with a single warmer can now be done with
`[PUT|POST] {index|_all|*|prefix*|blank}/{type|_all|*|prefix*|blank}/[_warmer|_warmers]/warmer_name`
PUT options for _alias:
Single alias can now be PUT with
`[PUT|POST] {index|_all|*|prefix*|blank}/[_alias|_aliases]/alias`
DELETE options _mapping:
Several mappings can be deleted at once by defining several indices and types with
`[DELETE] /{index}/{type}`
`[DELETE] /{index}/{type}/_mapping`
`[DELETE] /{index}/_mapping/{type}`
where
`index= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
`type= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
Alternatively, the keyword `_mapings` can be used.
DELETE options for _warmer:
Several warmers can be deleted at once by defining several indices and names with
`[DELETE] /{index}/_warmer/{type}`
where
`index= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
`type= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
Alternatively, the keyword `_warmers` can be used.
DELETE options for _alias:
Several aliases can be deleted at once by defining several indices and names with
`[DELETE] /{index}/_alias/{type}`
where
`index= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
`type= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
Alternatively, the keyword `_aliases` can be used.
Currently there are two get aliases apis that both have the same functionality, but have a different response structure. The reason for having 2 apis is historic.
The GET _alias api was added in 0.90.x and is more efficient since it only sends the needed alias data from the cluster state between the master node and the node that received the request. In the GET _aliases api the complete cluster state is send to the node that received the request and then the right information is filtered out and send back to the client.
The GET _aliases api should be removed in favour for the alias api

* `ignore_unavailable` - Controls whether to ignore if any specified indices are unavailable, this includes indices that don't exist or closed indices. Either `true` or `false` can be specified.
* `allow_no_indices` - Controls whether to fail if a wildcard indices expressions results into no concrete indices. Either `true` or `false` can be specified. For example if the wildcard expression `foo*` is specified and no indices are available that start with `foo` then depending on this setting the request will fail. This setting is also applicable when `_all`, `*` or no index has been specified.
* `expand_wildcards` - Controls to what kind of concrete indices wildcard indices expression expand to. If `open` is specified then the wildcard expression if expanded to only open indices and if `closed` is specified then the wildcard expression if expanded only to closed indices. Also both values (`open,closed`) can be specified to expand to all indices.
