During master election each node pings in order to discover other nodes and validate the liveness of existing nodes. Based on this information the node either discovers an existing master or, if enough nodes are found (based on `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes>>) a new master will be elected.
Currently, the node that is elected as master will currently update it the cluster state to indicate the result of the election. Other nodes will submit a join request to the newly elected master node. Instead of immediately processing the election result, the elected master
node should wait for the incoming joins from other nodes, thus validating the elections result is properly applied. As soon as enough nodes have sent their joins request (based on the `minimum_master_nodes` settings) the cluster state is modified.
Note that if `minimum_master_nodes` is not set, this change has no effect.

Require urls for URL repository to be listed in repositories.url.allowed_urls setting. This change ensures that only authorized URLs can be accessed by elasticsearch
Lucene deprecated this in 4.0 and we only try best effort to support it.
Folks should only use edit distance rather than some length based
similarity. Yet the formular is simple enough such that users can
still do it in the client if they really need to.
Closes#10638
Change the default delayed allocation timeout from 0 (no delayed allocation) to 1m. The value came from a test of having a node with 50 shards being indexed into (so beefy translog requiring flush on shutdown), then shutting it down and starting it back up and waiting for it to join the cluster. This took, on a slow machine, about 30s.
The value is conservatively low and does not try to address a virtual machine / OS restart for now, in order to not have the affect of node going away and users being concerned that shards are not being allocated to the rest of the cluster as a result of that. The setting can always be changed in order to increase the delayed allocation if needed.

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.

ignore_above is used to guard against the lucene limitation
that a term cannot exceed 32766 bytes.
However, the implementation just used the character count, which
doesn't take into account the fact that some characters have
multi-byte utf-8 encodings.
This commit updates the docs to make this relationship clear.

Add support for retrieving fields in bulk updates
This commit adds support to retrieve fields when using the bulk update API. This functionality was previously available for the update API
but not for the bulk update API.

Fixed documentation since the default rewrite method for fuzzy queries is to
select top terms, fixed usage of the fuzzy rewrite method, and removed unused
`rewrite` parameter.
Close#6932
This rewrite method is interesting because it computes scores as if all terms
had the same frequencies, which avoids disappointments with ranking when a fuzzy
query ranks typos first given that they are less frequent than the correct term.
Plugin Manager can now use another simplified form when a user wants to install an official plugin hosted at elasticsearch download service.
The form we use is:
```sh
bin/plugin install pluginname
```
As plugins share now the same version as elasticsearch, we can automatically guess what is the exact current version of the plugin manager script.
Also, download service will now use `/org.elasticsearch.plugins/pluginName/pluginName-version.zip` URL path to download a plugin.
If the older form is provided (`user/plugin/version` or `user/plugin`), we will still use:
* elasticsearch download service at `/user/plugin/plugin-version.zip`
* maven central with groupIp=user, artifactId=plugin and version=version
* github with user=user, repoName=plugin and tag=version
* github with user=user, repoName=plugin and branch=master if no version is set
Note that community plugin providers can use other download services by using `--url` option.
If you try to use the new form with a non core elasticsearch plugin, the plugin manager will reject
it and will give you all known core plugins.
```
Usage:
-u, --url [plugin location] : Set exact URL to download the plugin from
-i, --install [plugin name] : Downloads and installs listed plugins [*]
-t, --timeout [duration] : Timeout setting: 30s, 1m, 1h... (infinite by default)
-r, --remove [plugin name] : Removes listed plugins
-l, --list : List installed plugins
-v, --verbose : Prints verbose messages
-s, --silent : Run in silent mode
-h, --help : Prints this help message
[*] Plugin name could be:
elasticsearch-plugin-name for Elasticsearch 2.0 Core plugin (download from download.elastic.co)
elasticsearch/plugin/version for elasticsearch commercial plugins (download from download.elastic.co)
groupId/artifactId/version for community plugins (download from maven central or oss sonatype)
username/repository for site plugins (download from github master)
Elasticsearch Core plugins:
- elasticsearch-analysis-icu
- elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji
- elasticsearch-analysis-phonetic
- elasticsearch-analysis-smartcn
- elasticsearch-analysis-stempel
- elasticsearch-cloud-aws
- elasticsearch-cloud-azure
- elasticsearch-cloud-gce
- elasticsearch-delete-by-query
- elasticsearch-lang-javascript
- elasticsearch-lang-python

This pipeline aggregation runs a script on each bucket in the parent aggregation to determine whether the bucket is kept in the final aggregation tree. If the script returns true the bucket is retained, if it returns false the bucket is dropped
If you are using the default date or the named identifiers of dates,
the current implementation was allowed to read a year with only one
digit. In order to make this more strict, this fixes a year to be at
least 4 digits. Same applies for month, day, hour, minute, seconds.
Also the new default is `strictDateOptionalTime` for indices created
with Elasticsearch 2.0 or newer.
In addition a couple of not exposed date formats have been exposed, as they
have been mentioned in the documentation.
Closes#6158
The work around for resolving `now` doesn't need to be used for aliases, becuase alias filters are parsed at search time. However it can't be removed, because the percolator relies on it.
Parent/child can be specified again in alias filters, this now works again because alias filters are parsed at search time. Parent/child will also use the late query parse work around, to make sure to do the final preparations when the search context is around. This allows the aliases api to validate the parent/child queries without failing because there is no search context.
Closes#10485
