Adds a secure and reloadable SECURE_AUTH_PASSWORD setting to allow keystore entries in the form "xpack.monitoring.exporters.*.auth.secure_password" to securely supply passwords for monitoring HTTP exporters. Also deprecates the insecure `AUTH_PASSWORD` setting.
The changes are to help users prepare for migration to next major
release (v8.0.0) regarding to the break change of realm order config.
Warnings are added for when:
* A realm does not have an order config
* Multiple realms have the same order config
The warning messages are added to both deprecation API and loggings.
The main reasons for doing this are: 1) there is currently no automatic relay
between the two; 2) deprecation API is under basic and we need logging
for OSS.
* Rename ILM history index enablement setting
The previous setting was `index.lifecycle.history_index_enabled`, this commit changes it to
`indices.lifecycle.history_index_enabled` to indicate this is not an index-level setting (it's node
level).
* [DOCS] Rewrite analysis intro. Move index/search analysis content.
* Rewrites 'Text analysis' page intro as high-level definition.
Adds guidance on when users should configure text analysis
* Rewrites and splits index/search analysis content:
* Conceptual content -> 'Index and search analysis' under 'Concepts'
* Task-based content -> 'Specify an analyzer' under 'Configure...'
* Adds detailed examples for when to use the same index/search analyzer
and when not.
* Adds new example snippets for specifying search analyzers
* clarifications
* Add toc. Decrement headings.
* Reword 'When to configure' section
* Remove sentence from tip
Previously, if YEAR() was used as and ORDER BY argument without being
wrapped with another scalar (e.g. YEAR(birth_date) + 10), no script
ordering was used but instead the underlying field (e.g. birth_date)
was used instead as a performance optimisation. This works correctly if
YEAR() is the only ORDER BY arg but if further args are used as tie
breakers for the ordering wrong results are produced. This is because
2 rows with the different birth_date but on the same year are not tied
as the underlying ordering is on birth_date and not on the
YEAR(birth_date), and the following ORDER BY args are ignored.
Remove this optimisation for YEAR() to avoid incorrect results in
such cases.
As a consequence another bug is revealed: scalar functions on top
of nested fields produce scripted sorting/filtering which is not yet
supported. In such cases no error was thrown but instead all values for
such nested fields were null and were passed to the script implementing
the sorting/filtering, producing incorrect results.
Detect such cases and throw a validation exception.

The timeout.tcp_read AD/LDAP realm setting, despite the low-level
allusion, controls the time interval the realms wait for a response for
a query (search or bind). If the connection to the server is synchronous
(un-pooled) the response timeout is analogous to the tcp read timeout.
But the tcp read timeout is irrelevant in the common case of a pooled
connection (when a Bind DN is specified).
The timeout.tcp_read qualifier is hereby deprecated in favor of
timeout.response.
In addition, the default value for both timeout.tcp_read and
timeout.response is that of timeout.ldap_search, instead of the 5s (but
the default for timeout.ldap_search is still 5s). The
timeout.ldap_search defines the server-controlled timeout of a search
request. There is no practical use case to have a smaller tcp_read
timeout compared to ldap_search (in this case the request would time-out
on the client but continue to be processed on the server). The proposed
change aims to simplify configuration so that the more common
configuration change, adjusting timeout.ldap_search up, has the expected
result (no timeout during searches) without any additional
modifications.
Closes#46028
This commit deprecates the creation of dot-prefixed index names (e.g.
.watches) unless they are either 1) a hidden index, or 2) registered by
a plugin that extends SystemIndexPlugin. This is the first step
towards more thorough protections for system indices.
This commit also modifies several plugins which use dot-prefixed indices
to register indices they own as system indices, and adds a plugin to
register .tasks as a system index.
The docs tests have recently been running much slower than before (see #49753).
The gist here is that with ILM/SLM we do a lot of unnecessary setup / teardown work on each
test. Compounded with the slightly slower cluster state storage mechanism, this causes the
tests to run much slower.
In particular, on RAMDisk, docs:check is taking

Changes the find_file_structure response to include a CSV
ingest processor in the ingest pipeline it suggests.
Previously the Kibana file upload functionality parsed CSV
in the browser, but by parsing CSV in the ingest pipeline
it makes the Kibana file upload functionality more easily
interchangable with Filebeat such that the configurations
it creates can more easily be used to import data with the
same structure repeatedly in production.
* Reload secure settings with password (#43197)
If a password is not set, we assume an empty string to be
compatible with previous behavior.
Only allow the reload to be broadcast to other nodes if TLS is
enabled for the transport layer.
* Add passphrase support to elasticsearch-keystore (#38498)
This change adds support for keystore passphrases to all subcommands
of the elasticsearch-keystore cli tool and adds a subcommand for
changing the passphrase of an existing keystore.
The work to read the passphrase in Elasticsearch when
loading, which will be addressed in a different PR.
Subcommands of elasticsearch-keystore can handle (open and create)
passphrase protected keystores
When reading a keystore, a user is only prompted for a passphrase
only if the keystore is passphrase protected.
When creating a keystore, a user is allowed (default behavior) to create one with an
empty passphrase
Passphrase can be set to be empty when changing/setting it for an
existing keystore
Relates to: #32691
Supersedes: #37472
* Restore behavior for force parameter (#44847)
Turns out that the behavior of `-f` for the add and add-file sub
commands where it would also forcibly create the keystore if it
didn't exist, was by design - although undocumented.
This change restores that behavior auto-creating a keystore that
is not password protected if the force flag is used. The force
OptionSpec is moved to the BaseKeyStoreCommand as we will presumably
want to maintain the same behavior in any other command that takes
a force option.
* Handle pwd protected keystores in all CLI tools (#45289)
This change ensures that `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` and
`elasticsearch-saml-metadata` can handle a password protected
elasticsearch.keystore.
For setup passwords the user would be prompted to add the
elasticsearch keystore password upon running the tool. There is no
option to pass the password as a parameter as we assume the user is
present in order to enter the desired passwords for the built-in
users.
For saml-metadata, we prompt for the keystore password at all times
even though we'd only need to read something from the keystore when
there is a signing or encryption configuration.
* Modify docs for setup passwords and saml metadata cli (#45797)
Adds a sentence in the documentation of `elasticsearch-setup-passwords`
and `elasticsearch-saml-metadata` to describe that users would be
prompted for the keystore's password when running these CLI tools,
when the keystore is password protected.

* Elasticsearch keystore passphrase for startup scripts (#44775)
This commit allows a user to provide a keystore password on Elasticsearch
startup, but only prompts when the keystore exists and is encrypted.
The entrypoint in Java code is standard input. When the Bootstrap class is
checking for secure keystore settings, it checks whether or not the keystore
is encrypted. If so, we read one line from standard input and use this as the
password. For simplicity's sake, we allow a maximum passphrase length of 128
characters. (This is an arbitrary limit and could be increased or eliminated.
It is also enforced in the keystore tools, so that a user can't create a
password that's too long to enter at startup.)
In order to provide a password on standard input, we have to account for four
different ways of starting Elasticsearch: the bash startup script, the Windows
batch startup script, systemd startup, and docker startup. We use wrapper
scripts to reduce systemd and docker to the bash case: in both cases, a
wrapper script can read a passphrase from the filesystem and pass it to the
bash script.
In order to simplify testing the need for a passphrase, I have added a
has-passwd command to the keystore tool. This command can run silently, and
exit with status 0 when the keystore has a password. It exits with status 1 if
the keystore doesn't exist or exists and is unencrypted.
A good deal of the code-change in this commit has to do with refactoring
packaging tests to cleanly use the same tests for both the "archive" and the
"package" cases. This required not only moving tests around, but also adding
some convenience methods for an abstraction layer over distribution-specific
commands.
* Adjust docs for password protected keystore (#45054)
This commit adds relevant parts in the elasticsearch-keystore
sub-commands reference docs and in the reload secure settings API
doc.
* Fix failing Keystore Passphrase test for feature branch (#50154)
One problem with the passphrase-from-file tests, as written, is that
they would leave a SystemD environment variable set when they failed,
and this setting would cause elasticsearch startup to fail for other
tests as well. By using a try-finally, I hope that these tests will fail
more gracefully.
It appears that our Fedora and Ubuntu environments may be configured to
store journald information under /var rather than under /run, so that it
will persist between boots. Our destructive tests that read from the
journal need to account for this in order to avoid trying to limit the
output we check in tests.
* Run keystore management tests on docker distros (#50610)
* Add Docker handling to PackagingTestCase
Keystore tests need to be able to run in the Docker case. We can do this
by using a DockerShell instead of a plain Shell when Docker is running.
* Improve ES startup check for docker
Previously we were checking truncated output for the packaged JDK as
an indication that Elasticsearch had started. With new preliminary
password checks, we might get a false positive from ES keystore
commands, so we have to check specifically that the Elasticsearch
class from the Bootstrap package is what's running.
* Test password-protected keystore with Docker (#50803)
This commit adds two tests for the case where we mount a
password-protected keystore into a Docker container and provide a
password via a Docker environment variable.
We also fix a logging bug where we were logging the identifier for an
array of strings rather than the contents of that array.
* Add documentation for keystore startup prompting (#50821)
When a keystore is password-protected, Elasticsearch will prompt at
startup. This commit adds documentation for this prompt for the archive,
systemd, and Docker cases.

* Warn when unable to upgrade keystore on debian (#51011)
For Red Hat RPM upgrades, we warn if we can't upgrade the keystore. This
commit brings the same logic to the code for Debian packages. See the
posttrans file for gets executed for RPMs.
* Restore handling of string input
Adds tests that were mistakenly removed. One of these tests proved
we were not handling the the stdin (-x) option correctly when no
input was added. This commit restores the original approach of
reading stdin one char at a time until there is no more (-1, \r, \n)
instead of using readline() that might return null
* Apply spotless reformatting
* Use '--since' flag to get recent journal messages
When we get Elasticsearch logs from journald, we want to fetch only log
messages from the last run. There are two reasons for this. First, if
there are many logs, we might get a string that's too large for our
utility methods. Second, when we're looking for a specific message or
error, we almost certainly want to look only at messages from the last
execution.
Previously, we've been trying to do this by clearing out the physical
files under the journald process. But there seems to be some contention
over these directories: if journald writes a log file in between when
our deletion command deletes the file and when it deletes the log
directory, the deletion will fail.
It seems to me that we might be able to use journald's "--since" flag to
retrieve only log messages from the last run, and that this might be
less likely to fail due to race conditions in file deletion.
Unfortunately, it looks as if the "--since" flag has a granularity of
one-second. I've added a two-second sleep to make sure that there's a
sufficient gap between the test that will read from journald and the
test before it.

* Creates a top-level page for EQL in the ES reference.
This page contains a high-level introduction and will include a nav for other EQL docs pages as they're built.
* Creates a requirements page.
This page outlines the fields needed to use EQL in ES.
In 2bb31fe (v0.6.0!) we added DEBUG-level logging to the default config of
action loggers "for easier debugging". This change to the default config lives
on to this day. It does not obviously make debugging any easier any more, but
it does result in a good deal of log noise sometimes. This commit removes this
special case from the default config.
Closes#51198
The way it was originally written, it sounds like
we are boosting at query time.
Of course, the effect is at query time,
but the point here is that boosting is done at index time
* [ML][Inference] add tags url param to GET (#51330)
Adds a new URL parameter, `tags` to the GET _ml/inference/<model_id> endpoint.
This parameter allows the list of models to be further reduced to those who contain all the provided tags.
The regex for the response to `GET _cat/health?v` in `getting-started.asciidoc`
requires `max_task_wait_time` to match `(-|\\d+(micros|ms|s))`, which doesn't
match times such as `3.9ms` that contain a decimal point. This commit adjusts
the regex to match times formatted like this too.
Fixes#47537
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
Add the character position of a scripting error to error responses.
The contents of the `position` field are experimental and subject to
change. Currently, `offset` refers to the character location where the
error was encountered, `start` and `end` define a range of characters
that contain the error.
eg.
```
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "script_exception",
"reason": "runtime error",
"script_stack": [
"y = x;",
" ^---- HERE"
],
"script": "def x = new ArrayList(); Map y = x;",
"lang": "painless",
"position": {
"offset": 33,
"start": 29,
"end": 35
}
}
```

Since autoscaling is currently only under development, this commit
causes the autoscaling docs to be excluded any time that release docs
are being built.
* REST PreparedStatement-like query parameters are now supported in the form of an array of non-object, non-array values where ES SQL parser will try to infer the data type of the value being passed as parameter.
