Deleting expired data can take a long time leading to timeouts if there
are many jobs. Often the problem is due to a few large jobs which
prevent the regular maintenance of the remaining jobs. This change adds
a job_id parameter to the delete expired data endpoint to help clean up
those problematic jobs.
Throttling nightly cleanup as much as we do has been over cautious.
Night cleanup should be more lenient in its throttling. We still
keep the same batch size, but now the requests per second scale
with the number of data nodes. If we have more than 5 data nodes,
we don't throttle at all.
Additionally, the API now has `requests_per_second` and `timeout` set.
So users calling the API directly can set the throttling.
This commit also adds a new setting `xpack.ml.nightly_maintenance_requests_per_second`.
This will allow users to adjust throttling of the nightly maintenance.
