In Lucene 8 searches can skip non-competitive hits if the total hit count is not requested.
It is also possible to track the number of hits up to a certain threshold. This is a trade off to speed up searches while still being able to know a lower bound of the total hit count. This change adds the ability to set this threshold directly in the track_total_hits search option. A boolean value (true, false) indicates whether the total hit count should be tracked in the response. When set as an integer this option allows to compute a lower bound of the total hits while preserving the ability to skip non-competitive hits when enough matches have been collected.

Today it's very difficult to see which indices are frozen or rather
throttled via the commonly used monitoring APIs. This change adds
a cell to the `_cat/indices` API to render if an index is `search.throttled`

Adds an example on translating geohashes returned by geohashgrid
agg as bucket keys into geo bounding box filters in elasticsearch as well
as 3rd party applications.

Enhance error message for the case that the 2nd argument of PERCENTILE
and PERCENTILE_RANK is not a foldable, as it doesn't make sense to have
a dynamic value coming from a field.
Fixes: #36903
Types can be used both in the source and dest section of the body which will
be translated to search and index requests respectively. Adding a deprecation warning
for those cases and removing examples using more than one type in reindex since
support for this is going to be removed.
There are a handful of examples in the ILM documentation that could result in
rolling over indices more quickly than we might normally recommend,
contributing to over-sharding in cases where the examples are copied without
modification. This change makes some numbers bigger to try and avoid this.
With this commit we rename `node.store.allow_mmapfs` to
`node.store.allow_mmap`. Previously this setting has controlled whether
`mmapfs` could be used as a store type. With the introduction of
`hybridfs` which also relies on memory-mapping,
`node.store.allow_mmapfs` also applies to `hybridfs` and thus we rename
it in order to convey that it is actually used to allow memory-mapping
but not a specific store type.

When executing terms aggregations we set the shard_size, meaning the
number of buckets to collect on each shard, to a value that's higher than
the number of requested buckets, to guarantee some basic level of
precision. We have an optimization in place so that we leave shard_size
set to size whenever we are searching against a single shard, in which
case maximum precision is guaranteed by definition.
Such optimization requires us access to the total number of shards that
the search is executing against. In the context of cross-cluster search,
once we will introduce multiple reduction steps (one per cluster) each
cluster will only know the number of local shards, which is problematic
as we should only optimize if we are searching against a single shard in a
single cluster. It could be that we are searching against one shard per cluster
in which case the current code would optimize number of terms causing
a loss of precision.
While discussing how to address the CCS scenario, we decided that we do
not want to introduce further complexity caused by this single shard
optimization, as it benefits only a minority of cases, especially when
the benefits are not so great.
This commit removes the single shard optimization, meaning that we will
always have heuristic enabled on how many number of buckets to collect
on the shards, even when searching against a single shard.
This will cause more buckets to be collected when searching against a single
shard compared to before. If that becomes a problem for some users, they
can work around that by setting the shard_size equal to the size.

With this commit we introduce a new store type `hybridfs` that is a
hybrid between `mmapfs` and `niofs`. This store type chooses different
strategies to read Lucene files based on the read access pattern (random
or linear) in order to optimize performance.
This store type has been available in earlier versions of Elasticsearch
as `default_fs`. We have chosen a different name now in order to convey
the intent of the store type instead of tying it to the fact whether it
is the default choice.

This commit fixes some cross-doc links from the old ingest plugins page
to the new ingest processor pages that arose after converting
ingest-geoip and ingest-user-agent to modules.
This commit adds a placeholder ingest-geoip plugin page as there are
other components in the Elastic Stack that still refer to these
pages. These docs would be broken without this placeholder page forcing
teams responsible for those docs to scramble to fix the build over the
weekend before a holiday period. Instead, we add a placeholder page so
the docs build continues to function, and those teams can fix their docs
without the constraint of a broken build. We also cleanup a few minor
docs issues that were missed during the initial changes to convert
ingest-geoip to a module.
This extra scenario describes the case where an updated
policy increases the current phase's `min_age`. Now, the
docs explicitly describe this scenario as to what is
expected -- old min_age is used.
Closes#35356.
* Added Limitations page
* Made the aggregations page follow the common template for functions
* Modified all tables to have the first row's cells content centered
* Polishing in other various sections
This is a follow-up to some discussions around #36399. Currently we have
relatively confusing compression behavior where compression can be
configured for requests based on transport.compress or a specific
setting for a remote cluster. However, we can only compress responses
based on transport.compress as we do not know where a request is
coming from (currently).
This commit modifies the behavior to NEVER compress responses based on
settings. Instead, a response will only be compressed if the request was
compressed. This commit also updates the documentation to more clearly
described transport level compression.
Allow scripts to correctly reference grouping functions
Fix bug in translation of date/time functions mixed with histograms.

This commit breaks the single ingest docs file into multiple files,
factoring out the processor docs into a documentation file per
processor. This will help make this content easier to maintain.
This commit overhauls the documentation of discovery and cluster coordination,
removing mention of the Zen Discovery module and replacing it with docs for the
new cluster coordination mechanism introduced in 7.0.

Leaving `index.lifecycle.indexing_complete` in place when removing the
lifecycle policy from an index can cause confusion, as if a new policy
is associated with the policy, rollover will be silently skipped.
Removing that setting when removing the policy from an index makes
associating a new policy with the index more involved, but allows ILM to
fail loudly, rather than silently skipping operations which the user may
assume are being performed.
* Adjust order of checks in WaitForRolloverReadyStep
This allows ILM to error out properly for indices that have a valid
alias, but are not the write index, while still handling
`indexing_complete` on old-style aliases and rollover (that is, those
which only point to a single index at a time with no explicit write
index)
