This commit adds the `expand_wildcards` parameter documentation to the
`_cat/indices` and `_cat/aliases` docs, as those APIs now support
`expand_wildcards`. Additionally, clarifies the `expand_wildcards` docs with
respect to hidden indices.
Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.
Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.
This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
All of the snippets in our docs marked with `// TESTRESPONSE` are
checked against the response from Elasticsearch but, due to the
way they are implemented they are actually parsed as YAML instead
of JSON. Luckilly, all valid JSON is valid YAML! Unfurtunately
that means that invalid JSON has snuck into the exmples!
This adds a step during the build to parse them as JSON and fail
the build if they don't parse.
But no! It isn't quite that simple. The displayed text of some of
these responses looks like:
```
{
...
"aggregations": {
"range": {
"buckets": [
{
"to": 1.4436576E12,
"to_as_string": "10-2015",
"doc_count": 7,
"key": "*-10-2015"
},
{
"from": 1.4436576E12,
"from_as_string": "10-2015",
"doc_count": 0,
"key": "10-2015-*"
}
]
}
}
}
```
Note the `...` which isn't valid json but we like it anyway and want
it in the output. We use substitution rules to convert the `...`
into the response we expect. That yields a response that looks like:
```
{
"took": $body.took,"timed_out": false,"_shards": $body._shards,"hits": $body.hits,
"aggregations": {
"range": {
"buckets": [
{
"to": 1.4436576E12,
"to_as_string": "10-2015",
"doc_count": 7,
"key": "*-10-2015"
},
{
"from": 1.4436576E12,
"from_as_string": "10-2015",
"doc_count": 0,
"key": "10-2015-*"
}
]
}
}
}
```
That is what the tests consume but it isn't valid JSON! Oh no! We don't
want to go update all the substitution rules because that'd be huge and,
ultimately, wouldn't buy much. So we quote the `$body.took` bits before
parsing the JSON.
Note the responses that we use for the `_cat` APIs are all converted into
regexes and there is no expectation that they are valid JSON.
Closes#26233
The docs don't clearly explain that the deleted doc count also comes from lucene.
IMHO, it is worth highlighting this information separately, as a Note.
Apart from that, there should be an official recommended alternative as well.
This failure is due to the fact that we sort on store size, which is cached. So
it might happen that the store size that is taken into account is not the right
one, which makes the indices sorted in the wrong order. This changes the doc
example to sort on the number of docs instead.
Closes#21062
Moves the `_flush` in the `_cat/indices` snippets testing framework
to the very first test. We need to flush super early because index
size is cached for a few seconds so we really need to read a
consistent size on the first read so we can sort by it properly.
Closes#21062
Converts docs for `_cat/segments`, `_cat/plugins` and `_cat/repositories`
from `curl` to `// CONSOLE` so they are tested as part of the build and
are cleaner to use in Console. They should work fine with `curl` with
the `COPY AS CURL` link.
Also swaps the `source` type of the response from `js` to `txt` because
that is more correct. The syntax highlighter doesn't care. It looks at
the text to figure out the language. So it looks a little funny for `_cat`
responses regardless.

Relates to #18160
Uses the new sorting (#20658) in the `_cat` API to support all use
cases natively. We can still resort to piping things through `sort`
if we need to, but we don't have to for basic stuff like sorting!
This commit adds a health status parameter to the cat indices API for
filtering on indices that match the specified status (green|yellow|red).
Relates #20393
This patch adds to `_cat/indices` information about memory usage per index by adding memory used by FieldData, IdCache, Percolate, Segments (memory, index writer, version map).
