Clinton Gormley 40bf2c206c Add placeholder to the docs to distinguish released from unreleased from prerelease versions (#20644)

Nik Everett 2b3760f78b File descriptors limit doesn't apply to Windows
On Windows the JDK uses `CreateFileW` which has a stupidly high
limit for the number of `Handle`s it can make - `16 * 1024 * 1024`.
So this isn't really a problem on Windows at all.

Closes #20732

Jason Tedor a7c777f58a Fix documentation for setting Java I/O temp dir
This commit fixes the documentation for configuring the Java I/O temp
dir which incorrectly suggested using the -D flag as a parameter on the
command line; these flags have been removed and should now be specified
as arguments to the JVM using either the ES_JAVA_OPTS environment
variable or using the jvm.options configuration file.

Ryan Ernst b77c16086c Convert old download links to unified release urls (#20574)
With the unified release process across the elastic stack, download
links for all products are changing. This change updates docs referring
to the old download and packages urls.

Note that this change also updates the plugin installation command as
the url for downloads is being changed to be consistent with that for
packages (both plural).

Jason Tedor 05b4e0c0e3 Add serial collector bootstrap check
The serial collector is not suitable for running with a server
application like Elasticsearch and can decimate performance and lead to
cluster instability. This commit adds a bootstrap check to prevent usage
of the serial collector when Elasticsearch is running in production
mode.

Jason Tedor 412c61c402 Update logger names in docs
In 7560101ec7, the Elasticsearch logger
names were modified to be their fully-qualified class name (with some

Tanguy Leroux 6090c51fc5 Add quiet option to disable console logging (#20422)
This commit adds a -q/--quiet option to Elasticsearch so that it does not log anything in the console and closes stdout & stderr streams. This is useful for SystemD to avoid duplicate logs in both journalctl and /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log while still allows the JVM to print error messages in stdout/stderr if needed.

Nik Everett 5cff2a046d Remove most of the need for `// NOTCONSOLE`
and be much more stingy about what we consider a console candidate.

* Add `// CONSOLE` to check-running
* Fix version in some snippets
* Mark groovy snippets as groovy
* Fix versions in plugins
* Fix language marker errors
* Fix language parsing in snippets

  This adds support for snippets who's language is written like
  `[source, txt]` and `["source","js",subs="attributes,callouts"]`.

  This also makes language required for snippets which is nice because
  then we can be sure we can grep for snippets in a particular language.

Jason Tedor 1a805bb675 Increase visibility of deprecation logger
The deprecation logger is an important way to make visible features of
Elasticsearch that are deprecated. Yet, the default logging makes the
log messages for the deprecation logger invisible. We want these log
messages to be visible, so the default logging for the deprecation
logger should enable these log messages. This commit changes the log
level of deprecation log message to warn, and configures the deprecation
logger so that these log messages are visible out of the box.

Boaz Leskes cd596772ee Persistent Node Names (#19456)
With #19140 we started persisting the node ID across node restarts. Now that we have a "stable" anchor, we can use it to generate a stable default node name and make it easier to track nodes over a restarts. Sadly, this means we will not have those random fun Marvel characters but we feel this is the right tradeoff.

On the implementation side, this requires a bit of juggling because we now need to read the node id from disk before we can log as the node node is part of each log message. The PR move the initialization of NodeEnvironment as high up in the starting sequence as possible, with only one logging message before it to indicate we are initializing. Things look now like this:

```
[2016-07-15 19:38:39,742][INFO ][node                     ] [_unset_] initializing ...

```

Needless to say, settings `node.name` explicitly still works as before.

The commit also contains some clean ups to the relationship between Environment, Settings and Plugins. The previous code suggested the path related settings could be changed after the initial Environment was changed. This did not have any effect as the security manager already locked things down.

Jason Tedor e86aa29f67 Die with dignity
Today when a thread encounters a fatal unrecoverable error that
threatens the stability of the JVM, Elasticsearch marches on. This
includes out of memory errors, stack overflow errors and other errors
that leave the JVM in a questionable state. Instead, the Elasticsearch
JVM should die when these errors are encountered. This commit causes
this to be the case.

Jason Tedor e94408c0d2 Bootstrap check for OnError and seccomp
This commit adds a bootstrap check for the JVM option OnError being in
use and seccomp being enabled. These two options are incompatible
because OnError allows the user to specify an arbitrary program to fork
when the JVM encounters an fatal error, and seccomp enables system call
filters that prevents forking.

Jason Tedor 9695caa3fb Bootstrap check for OnOutOfMemoryError and seccomp
This commit adds a bootstrap check for the JVM option OnOutOfMemoryError

incompatible because OnOutOfMemoryError allows the user to specify an
arbitrary program to fork when the JVM encounters an
OutOfMemoryError, and seccomp enables system call filters that prevents
forking.

This commit also adds support for bootstrap checks that are always
enforced, whether or not Elasticsearch is in production mode.

The setting bootstrap.mlockall is useful on both POSIX-like systems

a POSIX only thing so the name should not be tied POSIX. This commit

Jason Tedor 56a07f70f7 Add note regarding thread stack size on Windows
This commit adds a note to the Windows service docs regarding the thread
stack size setting for the Windows service installer. As the Apache
Commons procrun daemon requires that this setting be explicitly set, we
need a value to be set when the service is installed. The right place
for this setting is the jvm.options file. We do not want to ship with a
hard-coded value here because we do not want to override the default
setting on other platforms, and the right default depends on whether or
not the end-user is on a 32-bit versus a 64-bit Windows system.

Nik Everett 4b1c116461 Generate and run tests from the docs
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.

By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.

Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.

See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.

Closes #12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
