By default the number of searches msearch executes is capped by the number of
nodes multiplied with the default size of the search threadpool. This default can be
overwritten by using the newly added `max_concurrent_searches` parameter.
Before the msearch api would concurrently execute all searches concurrently. If many large
msearch requests would be executed this could lead to some searches being rejected
while other searches in the msearch request would succeed.
The goal of this change is to avoid this exhausting of the search TP.

API:
```
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search?scroll=1m' -d '{
"slice": {
"field": "_uid", <1>
"id": 0, <2>
"max": 10 <3>
},
"query": {
"match" : {
"title" : "elasticsearch"
}
}
}
```
<1> (optional) The field name used to do the slicing (_uid by default)
<2> The id of the slice
By default the splitting is done on the shards first and then locally on each shard using the _uid field
with the following formula:
`slice(doc) = floorMod(hashCode(doc._uid), max)`
For instance if the number of shards is equal to 2 and the user requested 4 slices then the slices 0 and 2 are assigned
to the first shard and the slices 1 and 3 are assigned to the second shard.
Each scroll is independent and can be processed in parallel like any scroll request.
Closes#13494
Two of the snippets in validate weren't working properly so they are
marked as skip and linked to this:
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/18254
We didn't properly handle empty parameter values. We were sending
them as the literal string "null". Now we do better and send them
as the empty string.
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
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.
Closes#11118
* 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).
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.
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.
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:
