The plugin script parses command-line options looking for Java system
properties and extracts these arguments to pass to the java command when
starting the JVM. Since elasticsearch-plugin allows arbitrary user
arguments to the JVM via ES_JAVA_OPTS, this parsing is unnecessary. This
commit removes this unnecessary

We should prevent highlighting if a field is anything but a text or keyword field.
However, someone might implement a custom field type that has text and still want to
highlight on that. We cannot know in advance if the highlighter will be able to
highlight such a field and so we do the following:
If the field is only highlighted because the field matches a wildcard we assume
it was a mistake and do not process it.
If the field was explicitly given we assume that whoever issued the query knew
what they were doing and try to highlight anyway.
closes#17537
The `ip` field uses a binary representation internally. This breaks when
rendering sort values in search responses since elasticsearch tries to write a
binary byte[] as an utf8 json string. This commit extends the `DocValueFormat`
API in order to give fields a chance to choose how to render values.
Closes#6077
QueryBuilder has generics, but those are never used: all call sites use
`QueryBuilder<?>`. Only `AbstractQueryBuilder` needs generics so that the base
class can contain a default implementation for setters that returns `this`.
This gives better coverage and consistency with the scripting APIs, by
whitelisting the primary search scripting API classes and using them instead
of only Map and List methods.
For example, accessing fields can now be done with `.value` instead of `.0`
because `getValue()` is whitelisted. For now, access to a document's fields in
this way (loads) are fast-pathed in the code, to avoid dynamic overhead.
Access to geo fields and geo distance functions is now supported.

Painless: add fielddata accessors (.value/.values/.distance()/etc)
The snippet in the docs creates and index and uses it with the
_analyze api. The trouble is that if the index hasn't been created
fully the _analyze API will fail. This adds a
GET _cluster/health?wait_for_status=yellow
which fixes the issue.
While this does make the docs more cluttered, it also makes the snippets
actually runnable.
Closes#18165
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.

With this commit we compress HTTP responses provided the client
supports it (as indicated by the HTTP header 'Accept-Encoding').
We're also able to process compressed HTTP requests if needed.
The default compression level is lowered from 6 to 3 as benchmarks

increase in network traffic.

Fix a limitation that prevent from hierarchical inner hits be defined in query dsl.
Removed the nested_path, parent_child_type and query options from inner hits dsl. These options are only set by ES
upon parsing the has_child, has_parent and nested queries are using their respective query builders.
These options are still used internally, when these options are set a new private copy is created based on the
provided InnerHitBuilder and configuring either nested_path or parent_child_type and the inner query of the query builder
being used.

* Add isSearchable and isAggregatable (collapsed to true if any of the instances of that field are searchable or aggregatable).
* Accept wildcards in field names.
* Add a section named conflicts for fields with the same name but with incompatible types (instead of throwing an exception).
This commit actually bounds the size of the generic thread pool. The
generic thread pool was of type cached, a thread pool with an unbounded
number of workers and an unbounded work queue. With this commit, the
generic thread pool is now of type scaling. As such, the cached thread
pool type has been removed. By default, the generic thread pool is
constructed with a core pool size of four, a max pool size of 128 and
idle workers can be reaped after a keep-alive time of thirty seconds
expires. The work queue for this thread pool remains unbounded.
The getting started docs use dynamic mappings. With the recent change to
string split into text and keyword, text lost the default ability to do
aggs. This was added back in #17188. This change updates the getting
started examples to use the keyword multi field added to dynamically
mapped text fields.

In Elasticsearch 5.0.0, by default unquoted field names in JSON will be
rejected. This can cause issues, however, for documents that were
already indexed with unquoted field names. To alleviate this, a system
property has been added that can be enabled so migration can occur.
This system property will be removed in Elasticsearch 6.0.0
Resolves#17674
* Added an extra `field` parameter to the `percolator` query to indicate what percolator field should be used. This must be an existing field in the mapping of type `percolator`.
* The `.percolator` type is now forbidden. (just like any type that starts with a `.`)
This only applies for new indices created on 5.0 and later. Indices created on previous versions the .percolator type is still allowed to exist.
The new `percolator` field type isn't active in such indices and the `PercolatorQueryCache` knows how to load queries from these legacy indices.
The `PercolatorQueryBuilder` will not enforce that the `field` parameter is of type `percolator`.
We advertise in our documentation that byte units are like `kb`, `mb`... But we actually only support the simple notation `k` or `m`.
This commit adds support for the documented form and keeps the non documented options to avoid any breaking change.
It also adds support for `micros`, `nanos` and `d` as a time unit in `_cat` API.
Remove the support for `b` as a SizeValue unit. Actually, for numbers, when using raw numbers without unit, there is no text to add/parse after the number. For example, you don't write `10` as `10b`. We support option like `size=` in `_cat` API which means that we want to display raw data without unit (singles).
Documentation updated accordingly.
Add test for the empty size option.
Fix missing TimeValues options for some cat APIs
This makes all numeric fields including `date`, `ip` and `token_count` use
points instead of the inverted index as a lookup structure. This is expected
to perform worse for exact queries, but faster for range queries. It also
requires less storage.
Notes about how the change works:
- Numeric mappers have been split into a legacy version that is essentially
the current mapper, and a new version that uses points, eg.
LegacyDateFieldMapper and DateFieldMapper.
- Since new and old fields have the same names, the decision about which one
to use is made based on the index creation version.
- If you try to force using a legacy field on a new index or a field that uses
points on an old index, you will get an exception.
- IP addresses now support IPv6 via Lucene's InetAddressPoint and store them
in SORTED_SET doc values using the same encoding (fixed length of 16 bytes
and sortable).
- The internal MappedFieldType that is stored by the new mappers does not have
any of the points-related properties set. Instead, it keeps setting the index
options when parsing the `index` property of mappings and does
`if (fieldType.indexOptions() != IndexOptions.NONE) { // add point field }`
when parsing documents.
Known issues that won't fix:
- You can't use numeric fields in significant terms aggregations anymore since
this requires document frequencies, which points do not record.
- Term queries on numeric fields will now return constant scores instead of
giving better scores to the rare values.
Known issues that we could work around (in follow-up PRs, this one is too large
already):
- Range queries on `ip` addresses only work if both the lower and upper bounds
are inclusive (exclusive bounds are not exposed in Lucene). We could either
decide to implement it, or drop range support entirely and tell users to
query subnets using the CIDR notation instead.
- Since IP addresses now use a different representation for doc values,
aggregations will fail when running a terms aggregation on an ip field on a
list of indices that contains both pre-5.0 and 5.0 indices.
- The ip range aggregation does not work on the new ip field. We need to either
implement range aggs for SORTED_SET doc values or drop support for ip ranges
and tell users to use filters instead. #17700Closes#16751Closes#17007Closes#11513
The change adds a new option to the geo_* queries: ignore_unmapped. If this option is set to false, the toQuery method on the QueryBuilder will throw an exception if the field specified in the query is unmapped. If the option is set to true, the toQuery method on the QueryBuilder will return a MatchNoDocsQuery. The default value is false so the queries work how they do today (throwing an exception on unmapped field)
The change adds a new option to the `nested`, `has_parent`, `has_children` and `parent_id` queries: `ignore_unmapped`. If this option is set to false, the `toQuery` method on the QueryBuilder will throw an exception if the type/path specified in the query is unmapped. If the option is set to true, the `toQuery` method on the QueryBuilder will return a MatchNoDocsQuery. The default value is `false`so the queries work how they do today (throwing an exception on unmapped paths/types)
With this commit we limit the size of all in-flight requests on
transport level. The size is guarded by a circuit breaker and is
based on the content size of each request.
By default we use 100% of available heap meaning that the parent
circuit breaker will limit the maximum available size. This value
can be changed by adjusting the setting
network.breaker.inflight_requests.limit

This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and
simplify management of JVM options. This separates the configuration of
the JVM from the packaging scripts (bin/elasticsearch*, bin/service.bat,
and init.d/elasticsearch) simplifying end-user operational management of
custom JVM options.
The doc mentions match_path in one place but the correct syntax is path_match which is mentioned everywhere else. Using the wrong string leads to errors because the mapping becomes too greedy, and matches things it shouldn't.
Now the `match` query has been split out into `match`, `match_phrase` and `match_phrase_prefix` we need to update the docs to remove the deprecated syntax
Closes#17513
The current example in the documentation for Index Templates lacks any properties values. This is helpful to many devs that aren't sure how to take a regular Index Mapping and convert it to a template.
IMHO the original text here was incomplete. Adding the simple words 'in the index mapping' makes this sentence more clear. Perhaps a be more clear to make this a link.
* [TEST] check registered queries one by one in SearchModuleTests
* Switch to using ParseField to parse query names
If we have a deprecated query name, at the moment we don't have a way to log any deprecation warning nor fail when we are in strict mode. With this change we use ParseField, which will take care of the camel casing that we currently do manually (so that one day we can remove it more easily). This also means, that each query will have a unique preferred name, and all the other names are deprecated.
Terms query "in" synonym is now formally deprecated, as well as fuzzy_match, match_fuzzy, match_phrase and match_phrase_prefix for match query, mlt for more_like_this and geo_bbox for geo_bounding_box. All these will be removed in 6.0.
Every QueryParser holds now a ParseField constant called QUERY_NAME_FIELD that holds the name for it. The first name is the preferred one, all the others are deprecated. The first name is taken from the NAME constant already present in each query builder object, so that we somehow keep the serialization constant separated from ParseField. This change also allowed us to remove the names method from the QueryParser interface.
apart from locahost typo, the issue is that localhost is not 100% safe
for all distros with IPv6.
For example fedora23 defines localhost4 and localhost6 (among other
aliases) so `curl localhost:9200` doesn't work.
For this reason, I think it's safer to replace localhost with 127.0.0.1
By default, tasks are grouped by node. However, task execution in elasticsearch can be quite complex and an individual task that runs on a coordinating node can have many subtasks running on other nodes in the cluster. This commit makes it possible to list task grouped by common parents instead of by node. When this option is enabled all subtask are grouped under the coordinating node task that started all subtasks in the group. To group tasks by common parents, use the following syntax:
GET /tasks?group_by=parents
This commit adds the new `action.search.shard_count.limit` setting which
configures the maximum number of shards that can be queried in a single search
request. It has a default value of 1000.
Both top level and inline inner hits are now covered by InnerHitBuilder.
Although there are differences between top level and inline inner hits,
they now make use of the same builder logic.
The parsing of top level inner hits slightly changed to be more readable.
Before the nested path or parent/child type had to be specified as encapsuting
json object, now these settings are simple fields. Before this was required
to allow streaming parsing of inner hits without missing contextual information.
Once some issues are fixed with inline inner hits (around multi level hierachy of inner hits),
top level inner hits will be deprecated and removed in the next major version.
Today the basic node settings like `node.data` and `node.master` can't really be fully validated
since we allow to specify custom user attributes on the node level. We have to, in order to
support that, add a wildcard setting for `node.*` to let these setting pass validation.
Instead we should require a more contraint prefix like `node.attr.` that defines a namespace
that is reserved for user attributes.
This commit adds a new namespace for attributes in `node.attr`.
Closes#17280
This is to prevent mapping explosion when dynamic keys such as UUID are used as field names. index.mapping.total_fields.limit specifies the total number of fields an index can have. An exception will be thrown when the limit is reached. The default limit is 1000. Value 0 means no limit. This setting is runtime adjustable
Closes#11443
This adds a new `/_cluster/allocation/explain` API that explains why a
shard can or cannot be allocated to nodes in the cluster. Additionally,
it will show where the master *desires* to put the shard, according to
the `ShardsAllocator`.
It looks like this:
```
GET /_cluster/allocation/explain?pretty
{
"index": "only-foo",
"shard": 0,
"primary": false
}
```
Though, you can optionally send an empty body, which means "explain the
allocation for the first unassigned shard you find".
The output when a shard is unassigned looks like this:
```

"index_uuid" : "KnW0-zELRs6PK84l0r38ZA",

Only "NO" decisions are returned by default, but all decisions can be
shown by specifying the `?include_yes_decisions=true` parameter in the
request.
Resolves#14593
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/17288 added a check to enforce that the `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes` configuration is set when nodes have the `host`, `port`, or `bind_host` set in either `transport` or general `network` configuration sections. This was documented incorrectly as "nodes that are bound to a non-loopback interface", which lead to confusion as I set `network.host: "localhost"` and the check was still failing.
This change updates the docs to detail the actual check. I think it also highlights how complex the check is and the need for a simpler solution.
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes is the single most important setting to set on a production cluster. We have no way of supplying a good default so it must be set by the user. Binding a node to a public IP (as opposed to the default local host) is a good enough indication that a node will be part of a production cluster cluster and thus it's a good tradeoff to enforce the settings. Note that nothing prevent users from setting it to 1 in a single node cluster.
Closes#17288
We currently have a `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_client` setting that control whether their ping responses are ignored for master election (which is the current default). With the push to treat client nodes as normal nodes (and promote the transport/rest clients for client work), this should be changed. This commit remove this setting and it's companion `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_data` setting (currently defaulting to false) in favor of singe `discovery.zen.master_election.ignore_non_master_pings` setting with more intuitive name (defaulting to false).

The available memory metric was always set to `0` since 2.0.beta1 (bug). was left behind but never set. Turns out the section wasn't that useful, as it would only output the total memory available throughout all nodes in the cluster. We decided to remove the section then.
In #17198, we removed suggest transport action, which
used the `suggest` threadpool to execute requests. Now
`suggest` threadpool is unused and suggest requests are
executed on the `search` threadpool.
Currently if you run an `exists` query on an object, it will resolve all sub
fields and create a disjunction for all those fields. However the `_field_names`
mapper indexes paths for objects so we could query object paths directly.
I also changed the query parser to reject `exists` queries if the `_field_names`
field is disabled since it would be a big performance trap.
In 5.0 we don't allow index settings to be specified on the node level ie.
in yaml files or via commandline argument. This can cause problems during
upgrade if this was used extensively. For instance if analyzers where
specified on a node level this might cause the index to be closed when
imported (see #17187). In such a case all indices relying on this
must be updated via `PUT /${index}/_settings`. Yet, this API has slightly
different semantics since it overrides existing settings. To make this less
painful this change adds a `preserve_existing` parameter on that API to ensure
we have the same semantics as if the setting was applied on the node level.
This change also adds a better error message and a change to the migration guide
to ensure upgrades are smooth if index settings are specified on the node level.
If a index setting is detected this change fails the node startup and prints a message
like this:
```
*************************************************************************************
Found index level settings on node level configuration.
Since elasticsearch 5.x index level settings can NOT be set on the nodes
configuration like the elasticsearch.yaml, in system properties or command line
arguments.In order to upgrade all indices the settings must be updated via the
/${index}/_settings API. Unless all settings are dynamic all indices must be closed
in order to apply the upgradeIndices created in the future should use index templates
to set default values.

Also replaced the PercolatorQueryRegistry with the new PercolatorQueryCache.
The PercolatorFieldMapper stores the rewritten form of each percolator query's xcontext
in a binary doc values field. This make sure that the query rewrite happens only during
indexing (some queries for example fetch shapes, terms in remote indices) and
the speed up the loading of the queries in the percolator query cache.
Because the percolator now works inside the search infrastructure a number of features
(sorting fields, pagination, fetch features) are available out of the box.
The following feature requests are automatically implemented via this refactoring:

Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
This commit adds fields bytes_recovered and files_recovered to the cat
recovery API. These fields, respectively, indicate the total number of
bytes and files recovered. Additionally, for consistency, some totals
fields and translog recovery fields have been renamed.

Enables the touching of all memory pages used by the JVM heap spaces
during initialization of the HotSpot VM, which commits all memory pages
at initialization time. By default, pages are committed only as they are
needed.
The ingest stats include the following statistics:
* `ingest.total.count`- The total number of document ingested during the lifetime of this node
* `ingest.total.time_in_millis` - The total time spent on ingest preprocessing documents during the lifetime of this node
* `ingest.total.current` - The total number of documents currently being ingested.
* `ingest.total.failed` - The total number ingest preprocessing operations failed during the lifetime of this node
Also these stats are returned on a per pipeline basis.
This commit updates the documentation for GeoPointField by removing all references to the coerce and doc_values parameters. DocValues are enabled in lucene GeoPointField by default (required for boundary filtering). The QueryBuilders are updated to automatically normalize points (ignoring the coerce parameter) for any index created onOrAfter version 2.2.
Internally the put pipeline API uses this information in node info API to validate if all specified processors in a pipeline exist on all nodes in the cluster.
The cluster stats api now returns counts for each node role. The `master_data`, `master_only`, `data_only` and `client` fields have been removed from the response in favour of `master`, `data`, `ingest` and `coordinating_only`. The same node can have multiple roles, hence contribute to multiple roles counts. Every node is implicitly a coordinating node, so whenever a node has no explicit roles, it will be counted as coordinating only.
_cat/nodes used to return `c` for client node or `d` for data node as part of the node.role column. This commit changes it to return `m` for master eligible, `d` for data and/or `i` for ingest. A node with no explicit roles will be a coordinating only node and marked with `-`. A node can obviously have multiple roles. The master column has been adapted to return only whether a node is the current master (`*`) or not (`-`).
The field name is a required argument for all suggesters, but
it was specified via a field() setter in SuggestionBuilder so far.
This changes field name to being a mandatory constructor argument
and lets suggestion builders throw an error if field name is missing
or the empty string.
Use 'includeSegmentFileSizes' as the flag name to report disk usage.
Added test that verifies reported segment disk usage is growing accordingly after adding a document.
Documentation: Reference the new parameter as part of indices stats.
Currently we suggesting users create a Node (using NodeBuilder in 2.x) to have a client that is capable of keeping up-to-date information. This is generally a bad idea as it means elasticsearch has no control over eg max heap size or gc settings, and is also problematic for users because they must deal with dependency collisions (and in 2.x+ dependencies of elasticsearch itself).
A better alternative, and what we should document, is to run a local elasticsearch server using bin/elasticsearch, and then use the transport client to connect to that local node. This local connection is virtually free, and allows the client code to be completely isolated from the elasticsearch process. Plugins are then also easy to deal with: just install them in elasticsearch as usual.

ba5be0332d removed support for degrading
to slf4j and j.u.l but didn't document this as a breaking change because
it is only breaking for folks using Elasticsearch's jar as a java client.
People do that so this counts as a breaking change.
Also, if anyone was brave enough to try and replace log4j on an installed
version of Elasticsearch that will no longer work and this documents that
as well. It doens't get a full heading and instead lives with the java
client notes. Mostly because I can't imagine it worked consistently enough
for anyone to actually do it in the first place. We just never tested it
well enough to make sure we didn't break it after it was implemented.
This commit adds a note to the migration docs regarding the reduction of
the Groovy dependencies from the groovy-all artifact to the groovy
artifact that was previously done in
180ab2493e.

This commit removes the system property "es.useLinkedTransferQueue" that
defaulted to false and was used to control the queue implementation used
in a few places.
Closes#16786
Java NIO has the notion of gathering writes. These are writes that
gather data from multiple buffers into a single channel. These gathering
writes in Netty have been enabled by default with the possibility to
disable them using "es.netty.gathering". This flag was added in case
having gathering writes on by default did not work out. We have not
published this ability and sufficient time has passed to render
judgement that using gathering writes is okay.

Elasticsearch should reject ids that are this long, to ensure a document
always remains retrievable for clients that impose a maximum URI length
Closes#16034
This commit removes the es.max-open-files flag as the same information
can be obtained from the cluster nodes info API, and is warn logged on
startup if it's set too low anyway.
