The `top_metrics` agg is kind of like `top_hits` but it only works on
doc values so it *should* be faster.
At this point it is fairly limited in that it only supports a single,
numeric sort and a single, numeric metric. And it only fetches the "very
topest" document worth of metric. We plan to support returning a
configurable number of top metrics, requesting more than one metric and
more than one sort. And, eventually, non-numeric sorts and metrics. The
trick is doing those things fairly efficiently.

The method parameter is not used in the percentile aggs, instead
the method is determined by the presence of `hdr` or `tdigest`
objects.
Relates to #8324
If `geo_point fields` are multi-valued, using `geo_centroid` as a
sub-agg to `geohash_grid` could result in centroids outside of bucket
boundaries.
This adds a related warning to the geo_centroid agg docs.
Percentile aggregations are non-deterministic. A percentile aggregation
can produce different results even when using the same data.
Based on [this discuss post][0], the non-deterministic property stems
from processes in Lucene that can affect the order in which docs are
provided to the aggregation.
This adds a warning stating that the aggregation is non-deterministic
and what that means.

The example snippets in the percentile rank agg docs use a test dataset
named `latency`, which is generated from docs/gradle.build.
At some point the dataset and example snippets were updated, but the
text surrounding the snippets was not. This means the text and the
example snippets shown no longer match up.
This corrects that by changing the snippets using /TESTRESPONSE magic comments.
Backport of #47468 to 7.x
This PR adds a new metric aggregation called string_stats that operates on string terms of a document and returns the following:
min_length: The length of the shortest term
max_length: The length of the longest term
avg_length: The average length of all terms
distribution: The probability distribution of all characters appearing in all terms
entropy: The total Shannon entropy value calculated for all terms
This aggregation has been implemented as an analytics plugin.
* Update the top-level 'getting started' guide.
* Remove custom types from the painless getting started documentation.
* Fix an incorrect references to '_doc' in the cardinality query docs.
* Update the _update docs to use the typeless API format.
Users may require the sequence number and primary terms to perform optimistic concurrency control operations. Currently, you can get the sequence number via the `docvalues_fields` API but the primary term is not accessible because it is maintained by the `SeqNoFieldMapper` and the infrastructure can't find it.
This commit adds a dedicated sub fetch phase to return both numbers that is connected to a new `seq_no_primary_term` parameter.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put mappings.
* Default include_type_name to false for get field mappings.
* Add a constant for the default include_type_name value.
* Default include_type_name to false for get and put index templates.
* Default include_type_name to false for create index.
* Update create index calls in REST documentation to use include_type_name=true.
* Some minor clean-ups around the get index API.
* In REST tests, use include_type_name=true by default for index creation.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false'.
* Clarify the different IndexTemplateMetaData toXContent methods.
* Fix FullClusterRestartIT#testSnapshotRestore.
* Fix the ml_anomalies_default_mappings test.
* Fix GetFieldMappingsResponseTests and GetIndexTemplateResponseTests.
We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.
This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.
* Fix more REST tests.
* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.
* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.
* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.
* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.
* Make sure to use 'expression == false' in FullClusterRestartIT.
* Mention include_type_name in the REST templates docs.
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).
Relates #33028
This commit adds a new single value metric aggregation that calculates
the statistic called median absolute deviation, which is a measure of
variability that works on more types of data than standard deviation
Our calculation of MAD is approximated using t-digests. In the collect
phase, we collect each value visited into a t-digest. In the reduce
phase, we merge all value t-digests, then create a t-digest of
deviations using the first t-digest's median and centroids
When combine_script and reduce_script were made into required
parameters for Scripted Metric aggregations in #33452, the docs were
not updated to reflect that. This marks those parameters as required
in the documentation.
* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
The main benefit of the upgrade for users is the search optimization for top scored documents when the total hit count is not needed. However this optimization is not activated in this change, there is another issue opened to discuss how it should be integrated smoothly.
Some comments about the change:
* Tests that can produce negative scores have been adapted but we need to forbid them completely: #33309Closes#32899
Adds a new single-value metrics aggregation that computes the weighted
average of numeric values that are extracted from the aggregated
documents. These values can be extracted from specific numeric
fields in the documents.
When calculating a regular average, each datapoint has an equal "weight"; it
contributes equally to the final value. In contrast, weighted averages
scale each datapoint differently. The amount that each datapoint contributes
to the final value is extracted from the document, or provided by a script.
As a formula, a weighted average is the `∑(value * weight) / ∑(weight)`
A regular average can be thought of as a weighted average where every value has
an implicit weight of `1`.
Closes#15731
* Migrate scripted metric aggregation scripts to ScriptContext design #29328
* Rename new script context container class and add clarifying comments to remaining references to params._agg(s)
* Misc cleanup: make mock metric agg script inner classes static
* Move _score to an accessor rather than an arg for scripted metric agg scripts
This causes the score to be evaluated only when it's used.
* Documentation changes for params._agg -> agg
* Migration doc addition for scripted metric aggs _agg object change
* Rename "agg" Scripted Metric Aggregation script context variable to "state"
* Rename a private base class from ...Agg to ...State that I missed in my last commit
* Clean up imports after merge
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).
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.
Closes#27750Closes#27751
Also include _type and _id for parent/child hits inside inner hits.
In the case of top_hits aggregation the nested search hits are
directly returned and are not grouped by a root or parent document, so
it is important to include the _id and _index attributes in order to know
to what documents these nested search hits belong to.
Closes#27053
Today we require users to prepare their indices for split operations.
Yet, we can do this automatically when an index is created which would
make the split feature a much more appealing option since it doesn't have
any 3rd party prerequisites anymore.
This change automatically sets the number of routinng shards such that
an index is guaranteed to be able to split once into twice as many shards.
The number of routing shards is scaled towards the default shard limit per index
such that indices with a smaller amount of shards can be split more often than
larger ones. For instance an index with 1 or 2 shards can be split 10x
(until it approaches 1024 shards) while an index created with 128 shards can only
be split 3x by a factor of 2. Please note this is just a default value and users
can still prepare their indices with `index.number_of_routing_shards` for custom
splitting.
NOTE: this change has an impact on the document distribution since we are changing
the hash space. Documents are still uniformly distributed across all shards but since
we are artificually changing the number of buckets in the consistent hashign space
document might be hashed into different shards compared to previous versions.
This is a 7.0 only change.
