All document scores are positive 32-bit floating point numbers. However, this
wasn't previously documented.
This can result in surprising behavior, such as precision loss, for users when
customizing scores using the function score query.
This commit updates an existing admonition in the function score query docs to
document the 32-bits precision limit. It also updates the search API reference
docs to note that `_score` is a 32-bit float.
Currently the `token_chars` setting in both `edgeNGram` and `ngram` tokenizers
only allows for a list of predefined character classes, which might not fit
every use case. For example, including underscore "_" in a token would currently
require the `punctuation` class which comes with a lot of other characters.
This change adds an additional "custom" option to the `token_chars` setting,
which requires an additional `custom_token_chars` setting to be present and
which will be interpreted as a set of characters to inlcude into a token.
Closes#25894
Previously, DATEDIFF for minutes and hours was doing a
rounding calculation using all the time fields (secs, msecs/micros/nanos).
Instead it should first truncate the 2 dates to the respective field (mins or hours)
zeroing out all the more detailed time fields and then make the subtraction.
(cherry picked from commit 124cd18e20429e19d52fd8dc383827ea5132d428)
The `string` type (with option `analyzed`) has been replaced by `text` after `6.0`,
also the `annonated_text` field do not support doc values and should be mentioned.
Backport of #47573.
Closes#43603. Allow environment variables to be passed to ES in a Docker
container via a file, by setting an environment variable with the `_FILE`
suffix that points to the file with the intended value of the env var.
Backport of #47468 to 7.x
This PR adds a new metric aggregation called string_stats that operates on string terms of a document and returns the following:
min_length: The length of the shortest term
max_length: The length of the longest term
avg_length: The average length of all terms
distribution: The probability distribution of all characters appearing in all terms
entropy: The total Shannon entropy value calculated for all terms
This aggregation has been implemented as an analytics plugin.
Makes a few changes to better align the update license API docs with
the [API reference template][0].
Changes:
* Replaces POST with PUT in several snippet examples.
While both are valid, PUT is a bit more RESTful.
* Removes leading slashes (/) from all snippets.
* Relocates and retitles the 'Authorization' section to 'Prerequisites'.
* Replaces explicit titles with the appropriate API reference template
attributes.
* Replaces unneeded `[float]` tags with explicit anchors.
Closes#35341

The `edge_ngram` tokenizer limits tokens to the `max_gram` character
length. Autocomplete searches for terms longer than this limit return
no results.
To prevent this, you can use the `truncate` token filter to truncate
tokens to the `max_gram` character length. However, this could return irrelevant results.
This commit adds some advisory text to make users aware of this limitation and outline the tradeoffs for each approach.
Closes#48956.
This PR makes the following two fixes around updating flattened fields:
* Make sure that the new value for ignore_above is immediately taken into
affect. Previously we recorded the new value but did not use it when parsing
documents.
* Allow depth_limit to be updated dynamically. It seems plausible that a user
might want to tweak this setting as they encounter more data.
* [ML] Add new geo_results.(actual_point|typical_point) fields for `lat_long` results (#47050)
