Today when a resize operation is performed, we copy the analysis,
similarity, and sort settings from the source index. It is possible for
the resize request to include additional index settings including
analysis, similarity, and sort settings. We reject sort settings when
validating the request. However, we silently ignore analysis and
similarity settings on the request that are already set on the source
index. Since it is possible to change the analysis and similarity
settings on an existing index, this should be considered a bug and the
sort of leniency that we abhor. This commit addresses this bug by
allowing the request analysis/similarity settings to override the
existing analysis/similarity settings on the target.
A previous change modified the output of the thread pool info contained
in the nodes info API. This commit adds a note to the migration docs for
this change.
A NullPointerException is thrown when trying to create or delete
a snapshot in a repository that has been written to by an older
Elasticsearch after writing to it with a newer Elasticsearch version.
This is because the way snapshots are formatted in the repository
snapshots index file changed in #24477.
This commit changes the parsing of the repository index file so that
it now detects a corrupted index file and fails early the snapshot
operation.

We already had *some* documentation of the batch nature of `reindex` and
friends but it wasn't super obvious how it interacted with the
`failures` element in the response. This adds some more documentation
the `failures` element.
Clearing the cache indices can be done via GET and POST. As GET should
only support read only operations, this removes the support for using
GET for clearing the indices caches.

This metric previously existed for backwards compatibility reasons
although the suggest stats were folded into search stats. This metric
was deprecated in 6.3.0 and this commit removes them for 7.0.0.
This commit adds the distribution type to the startup scripts so that we
can discern from log output and the main response the type of the
distribution (deb/rpm/tar/zip).
This commit adds the distribution flavor (default versus oss) to the
build process which is passed through the startup scripts to
Elasticsearch. This change will be used to customize the message on
attempting to install/remove x-pack based on the distribution flavor.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
The suggest stats were folded into the search stats as part of the
indices stats API in 5.0.0. However, the suggest metric remained as a
synonym for the search metric for BWC reasons. This commit deprecates
usage of the suggest metric on the indices stats API.
Similarly, due to the changes to fold the suggest stats into the search
stats, requesting the suggest index metric on the indices metric on the
nodes stats API has produced an empty object as the response since
5.0.0. This commit deprecates this index metric on the indices metric on
the nodes stats API.
The name of the bulk thread pool was renamed to "write" with "bulk" as a
fallback name. This change was made in 6.x for BWC reasons yet in 7.0.0
we are removing this fallback. This commit removes this fallback for the
write thread pool.
This commit renames the bulk thread pool to the write thread pool. This
is to better reflect the fact that the underlying thread pool is used to
execute any document write request (single-document index/delete/update
requests, and bulk requests).
With this change, we add support for fallback settings
thread_pool.bulk.* which will be supported until 7.0.0.
We also add a system property so that the display name of the thread
pool remains as "bulk" if needed to avoid breaking users.
Added an api that allows to execute an arbitrary script and a result to be returned.
```
POST /_scripts/painless/_execute
{
"script": {
"source": "params.var1 / params.var2",
"params": {
"var1": 1,
"var2": 1
}

Now that single-document indexing requests are executed on the bulk
thread pool the index thread pool is no longer needed. This commit
removes this thread pool from Elasticsearch.
As part of adding support for new API to the high-level REST client,
we added support for the `flat_settings` parameter to some of our
request classes. We added documentation that such flag is only ever
read by the high-level REST client, but the truth is that it doesn't
do anything given that settings are always parsed back into a `Settings`
object, no matter whether they are returned in a flat format or not.
It was a mistake to add support for this flag in the context of the
high-level REST client, hence this commit removes it.
We want to remove the index thread pool as it is no longer needed since
single-document indexing requests are executed as bulk requests
now. Analyze requests are also executed on the index thread pool though
and they need a thread pool to execute on. The bulk thread does not seem
like the right thread pool, let us keep that thread pool conceptually
for bulk requests and free for bulk requests. None of the existing
thread pools make sense for analyze requests either. The generic thread
pool would be a terrible choice since it has an unbounded queue and that
is a bad idea for user-facing APIs. This commit introduces a small by
default (size=1, queue_size=16) thread pool for analyze requests.
CRUD: Parsing changes for UpdateRequest (#29293)
Use `ObjectParser` to parse `UpdateRequest` so we reject unknown fields
and drop support for the `_fields` parameter because it was deprecated
in 5.x.
Control max size and count of warning headers
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_count" to control the maximum number of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_size" to control the maximum total size of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
With every warning header that exceeds these limits,
a message will be logged in the main ES log,
and any more warning headers for this response will be
ignored.
Historically, the bootstrap checks used 2048 as the minimum limit for
the maximum number of threads. This limit was guided by the fact that
the number of processors was artificially capped at 32. This limit was
removed in 6.0.0 and the minimum limit was raised to 4096 to accommodate
this. However, the docs were not updated and this commit addresses that
miss.
This adds an `include_type_name` option to the `indices.create`,
`indices.get_mapping` and `indices.put_mapping` APIs, which defaults to `true`.
When set to `false`, then mappings will be returned directly in the body of
the `indices.get_mapping` API, without keying them by the type name, the
`indices.create` will expect mappings directly under the `mappings` key, and
the `indices.put_mapping` will use `_doc` as a type name and fail if a `type`
is provided explicitly.

Closes#28995
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
From 7.0 on, using `delimited_payload_filter` should throw an error.
It was deprecated in 6.2 in favour of `delimited_payload` (#26625).
Relates to #27704
Today we report thread pool info using a common object. This means that
we use a shared set of terminology that is not consistent with the
terminology used to the configure thread pools. This holds in particular
for the minimum and maximum number of threads in the thread pool where
we use the following terminology:
thread pool info | fixed | scaling
min core size
max max size
A previous change addressed this for the nodes info API. This commit
changes the display of thread pool info in the cat thread pool API too
to be dependent on the type of the thread pool so that we can align the
terminology in the output of thread pool info with the terminology used
to configure a thread pool.
This improves the way similarities are plugged in in order to:
- reject the classic similarity on 7.x indices and emit a deprecation
warning otherwise
- reject unkwown parameters on 7.x indices and emit a deprecation
warning otherwise
Even though this breaks the plugin API, I'd like to backport to 7.x so
that users can get deprecation warnings when they are doing something
that will become unsupported in the future.

I am not sure why we have this leniency for HTTP max content length, it
has been there since the beginning
(5ac51ee93f) with no explanation of its
source. That said, our philosophy today is different than the philosophy
of the past where Elasticsearch would be quite lenient in its handling
of settings and today we aim for predictability for both users and
us. This commit removes leniency in the parsing of
http.max_content_length.
Today this part of the documentation just says that Geo queries are not 100%
accurate, but in fact we can be more precise about which kinds of queries see
which kinds of error. This commit clarifies this point.
At time of writing, GeoJSON did not enforce a specific ordering of vertices in
a polygon, but it now does. We occasionally get reports of Elasticsearch
rejecting apparently-valid GeoJSON because of badly oriented polygons, and it's
helpful to be able to point at this bit of the documentation when responding.
As follow up to #28245 , this PR removes the logic for selecting the
right start commit from the Engine constructor in favor of explicitly
trimming them in the Store, before the engine is opened. This makes the
constructor in engine follow standard Lucene semantics and use the last
commit.
Relates #28245
Relates #29156
#28245 has introduced the utility class`EngineDiskUtils` with a set of methods to prepare/change
translog and lucene commit points. That util class bundled everything that's needed to create and
empty shard, bootstrap a shard from a lucene index that was just restored etc.
In order to safely do these manipulations, the util methods acquired the IndexWriter's lock. That
would sometime fail due to concurrent shard store fetching or other short activities that require the
files not to be changed while they read from them.
Since there is no way to wait on the index writer lock, the `Store` class has other locks to make
sure that once we try to acquire the IW lock, it will succeed. To side step this waiting problem, this
PR folds `EngineDiskUtils` into `Store`. Sadly this comes with a price - the store class doesn't and
shouldn't know about the translog. As such the logic is slightly less tight and callers have to do the
translog manipulations on their own.
This change refactors the composite aggregation to add an execution mode that visits documents in the order of the values
present in the leading source of the composite definition. This mode does not need to visit all documents since it can early terminate
the collection when the leading source value is greater than the lowest value in the queue.
Instead of collecting the documents in the order of their doc_id, this mode uses the inverted lists (or the bkd tree for numerics) to collect documents
in the order of the values present in the leading source.
For instance the following aggregation:
```
"composite" : {
"sources" : [
{ "value1": { "terms" : { "field": "timestamp", "order": "asc" } } }
],
"size": 10
}
```
... can use the field `timestamp` to collect the documents with the 10 lowest values for the field instead of visiting all documents.
For composite aggregation with more than one source the execution can early terminate as soon as one of the 10 lowest values produces enough
composite buckets. For instance if visiting the first two lowest timestamp created 10 composite buckets we can early terminate the collection since it
is guaranteed that the third lowest timestamp cannot create a composite key that compares lower than the one already visited.
This mode can execute iff:
* The leading source in the composite definition uses an indexed field of type `date` (works also with `date_histogram` source), `integer`, `long` or `keyword`.
* The query is a match_all query or a range query over the field that is used as the leading source in the composite definition.
* The sort order of the leading source is the natural order (ascending since postings and numerics are sorted in ascending order only).
If these conditions are not met this aggregation visits each document like any other agg.
The rank_eval documentation was missing an explanation of the parameter
`k` that controls the number of top hits that are used in the ranking evaluation.
Closes#29205
Adds docs for `HighLevelRestClient#multiSearch`. Unlike the `multiGet`

This commit adds a new setting `cluster.persistent_tasks.allocation.enable`
that can be used to enable or disable the allocation of persistent tasks.
The setting accepts the values `all` (default) or `none`. When set to
none, the persistent tasks that are created (or that must be reassigned)
won't be assigned to a node but will reside in the cluster state with
a no "executor node" and a reason describing why it is not assigned:
```
"assignment" : {
"executor_node" : null,
"explanation" : "persistent task [foo/bar] cannot be assigned [no
persistent task assignments are allowed due to cluster settings]"
}
```
This will reject mapping updates to the `_default_` mapping with 7.x indices
and still emit a deprecation warning with 6.x indices.

Update allocation awareness docs

whole combination of values is considered as a single entity when

reformats some paragraphs to the right width.
Fixes#29105
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the error file path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to the root of the
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
error file path relative to this directory and default it to the logs
directory, similar to the package distributions.
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the heap dump path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to to the root of
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
heap dump path relative to this directory and default it to the data
directory, similar to the package distributions.
Adds support for triple quoted strings to the documentation test
generator. Kibana's CONSOLE tool has supported them for a year but we
were unable to use them in Elasticsearch's docs because the process that
converts example snippets into tests couldn't handle this. This change
adds code to convert them into standard JSON so we can pass them to
Elasticsearch.
I have seen this question a couple times already, most recently at

as this is a matter of trade-offs.
Additionally:
* Included the existing update by query java api docs in java-api docs.
(for some reason it was never included, it needed some tweaking and
then it was good to go)

The Java API documentation for index administration currenty is wrong because
the PutMappingRequestBuilder#setSource(Object... source) an
CreateIndexRequestBuilder#addMapping(String type, Object... source) methods
delegate to methods that check that the input arguments are valid key/value
pairs. This changes the docs so the java api code examples are included from
documentation integration tests so we detect compile and runtime issues earlier.
Closes#28131
By the time the master branch is released the deprecated url
parameters in the `/_cache/clear` API will have been deprecated
for a couple of minor releases. Since master will be the next
major release we are fine with removing these parameters.
Currently we have a fairly complicated logic in the engine constructor logic to deal with all the
various ways we want to mutate the lucene index and translog we're opening.
We can:
1) Create an empty index
2) Use the lucene but create a new translog
3) Use both
4) Force a new history uuid in all cases.
This leads complicated code flows which makes it harder and harder to make sure we cover all the
corner cases. This PR tries to take another approach. Constructing an InternalEngine always opens
things as they are and all needed modifications are done by static methods directly on the
directory, one at a time.
We today support a global `indexed_chars` processor parameter. But in some cases, users would like to set this limit depending on the document itself.
It used to be supported in mapper-attachments plugin by extracting the limit value from a meta field in the document sent to indexation process.
We add an option which reads this limit value from the document itself
by adding a setting named `indexed_chars_field`.
Which allows running:
```
PUT _ingest/pipeline/attachment
{
"description" : "Extract attachment information. Used to parse pdf and office files",
"processors" : [
{
"attachment" : {
"field" : "data",
"indexed_chars_field" : "size"
}
}
]
}
```
Then index either:
```
PUT index/doc/1?pipeline=attachment
{
"data": "BASE64"
}
```
Which will use the default value (or the one defined by `indexed_chars`)
Or
```
PUT index/doc/2?pipeline=attachment
{
"data": "BASE64",
"size": 1000
}
```

The current docs on [Indices APIs: PUT Mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-put-mapping.html) suggests that a having number of different mapping types per index is still possible in elasticsearch versions > 6.0.0 although they have been [removed](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/removal-of-types.html). The console code has already been updated accordingly but notes (2) and (3) on the console code still name the `user` mapping type.
This PR updates the list with notes after the console code, as well as the first sentence of the docs
to avoid confusion. Also, I have removed the second command from the console code as it no
longer holds any value if the docs are solely on the `_doc` mapping.
The docs state that `_gce_` is recommended but the code sample states
that `_gce:hostname_` is recommended. This aligns the code sample with
the documentation. Also replace `type` with `zen.hosts_provider` as
discovery.type was removed in #25080.

Similarly to what has been done for s3 and azure, this commit removes
the repository settings `application_name` and `connect/read_timeout`
in favor of client settings. It introduce a GoogleCloudStorageClientSettings
class (similar to S3ClientSettings) and a bunch of unit tests for that,
it aligns the documentation to be more coherent with the S3 one, it
documents the connect/read timeouts that were not documented at all and
also adds a new client setting that allows to define a custom endpoint.
We previously specified the -server flag to force the JVM to use the
server JVM. This is the default on all the systems that we support when
using a 64-bit JVM (and we no longer support 32-bit JVMs). There was
some trouble with this flag for the Windows service since procrun did
not understand what to do with it; as such, we had to filter this flag
out in the service. When we migrated to parsing JVM options in Java (via
the JVM options parser) we simplified this situation and removed
specifying the -server flag. This commit removes a leftover statement
that we are forcing the server JVM.
