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
This commit adds back "id" as the key within a script to specify a
stored script (which with file scripts now gone is no longer ambiguous).
It also adds "source" as a replacement for "code". This is in an attempt
to normalize how scripts are specified across both put stored scripts and script usages, including search template requests. This also deprecates the old inline/stored keys.
* Replace _suggest endpoint to _search in docs
In 5.0, the _suggest endpoint is just sugar for _search
with suggestions specified. Users should move away from
using the _suggest endpoint, as it is marked as deprecated in 5.x and
will be removed in 6.0
* update docs to use _search endpoint instead of _suggest
* Add deprecation logging to RestSuggestAction
* Use search endpoint instead of suggest endpoint in rest tests
The first changed referred to an example of the 2.4 documentation. I removed the no longer relevant parts. We should consider adding a little more here.
The second change was just then->than in the suggest_mode popular section
Currently both `PUT` and `POST` can be used to create indices. This commit
removes support for `POST index_name` so that we can use it to index documents
with auto-generated ids once types are removed.
Relates #15613
Previously, collate feature would be executed on all shards of an index using the client,
this leads to a deadlock when concurrent collate requests are run from the _search API,
due to the fact that both the external request and internal collate requests use the
same search threadpool.
As phrase suggestions are generated from the terms of the local shard, in most cases the
generated suggestion, which does not yield a hit for the collate query on the local shard
would not yield a hit for collate query on non-local shards.
Instead of using the client for collating suggestions, collate query is executed against
the ContextIndexSearcher. This PR removes the ability to specify a preference for a collate
query, as the collate query is only run on the local shard.
closes#9377
A new option `prune` has been added to allow users to control phrase suggestion pruning when `collate`
is set. If the new option is set, the phrase suggestion option will contain a boolean `collate_match`
indicating whether the respective result had hits in collation.
CLoses#6927
The newly added collate option will let the user provide a template query/filter which will be executed for every phrase suggestions generated to ensure that the suggestion matches at least one document for the filter/query.
The user can also add routing preference `preference` to route the collate query/filter and additional `params` to inject into the collate template.
Closes#3482
Java Builder apis drop old “len” methods in favour of new “length”
Rest APIs support both old “len: and new “length” forms using new ParseField class to a) provide compiler-checked consistency between Builder and Parser classes and
b) a common means of handling deprecated syntax in the DSL.
Documentation and rest specs only document the new “*length” forms
Closes#4083
