This commit changes dynamic mappings updates so that they are synchronous on the
entire cluster and their validity is checked by the master node. There are some
important consequences of this commit:
- a failing index request on a non-existing type does not implicitely create
the type anymore
- dynamic mappings updates cannot create inconsistent mappings on different
shards
- indexing requests that introduce new fields might induce latency spikes
because of the overhead to update the mappings on the master node
Close#8688
This fix ensures that calls to the GET alias/mappings/settings/warmers APIs return the aliases/mappings/settings/warmers object even if there is no content within them.. This make them consistent with the GET Index API docs and the breaking changes in 1.4 docs
Closes#9148
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
This change means that the default settings for expand_wildcards are only applied if the expand_wildcards parameter is not specified rather than being set upfront. It also adds the none and all options to the parameter to allow the user to specify no expansion and expansion to all indexes (equivalent to 'open,closed')
Closes#7258
* Made GET mappings consistent, supporting
* /{index}/_mappings/{type}
* /{index}/_mapping/{type}
* /_mapping/{type}
* Added "mappings" in the JSON response to align it with other responses
* Made GET warmers consistent, support /{index}/_warmers/{type} and /_warmer, /_warner/{name}
as well as wildcards and _all notation
* Made GET aliases consistent, support /{index}/_aliases/{name} and /_alias, /_aliases/{name}
as well as wildcards and _all notation
* Made GET settings consistent, added /{index}/_setting/{name}, /_settings/{name}
as well as supportings wildcards in settings name
* Returning empty JSON instead of a 404, if a specific warmer/
setting/alias/type is missing
* Added a ton of spec tests for all of the above
* Added a couple of more integration tests for several features
Relates #4071
* Fixed error in `skip` explanation for "get type" test
* Separated the tests for getting index/type mapping
I vote for removing the "get type" test entirely, since it just tests ancient versions.
