* Add documentation for the new parent-join field
This commit adds the docs for the new parent-join field.
It explains how to define, index and query this new field.
Relates #20257
This snapshot has faster range queries on range fields (LUCENE-7828), more
accurate norms (LUCENE-7730) and the ability to use fake term frequencies
(LUCENE-7854).
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.
This change removes the `postings` highlighter. This highlighter has been removed from Lucene master (7.x) because it behaves
exactly like the `unified` highlighter when index_options is set to `offsets`:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7815
It also makes the `unified` highlighter the default choice for highlighting a field (if `type` is not provided).
The strategy used internally by this highlighter remain the same as before, it checks `term_vectors` first, then `postings` and ultimately it re-analyzes the text.
Ultimately it rewrites the docs so that the options that the `unified` highlighter cannot handle are clearly marked as such.
There are few features that the `unified` highlighter is not able to handle which is why the other highlighters (`plain` and `fvh`) are still available.
I'll open separate issues for these features and we'll deprecate the `fvh` and `plain` highlighters when full support for these features have been added to the `unified`.
Now that indices have a single type by default, we can move to the next step
and identify documents using their `_id` rather than the `_uid`.
One notable change in this commit is that I made deletions implicitly create
types. This helps with the live version map in the case that documents are
deleted before the first type is introduced. Otherwise there would be no way
to differenciate `DELETE index/foo/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1` from
`DELETE index/bar/1` followed by `PUT index/foo/1`, even though those are
different if versioning is involved.
Rewrites most of the snippets in the `innert_hits` docs to be
complete examples and enables `VIEW IN CONSOLE`, `COPY AS CURL`,
and automatic testing of the snippets.
This commit clarifies the preference docs regarding the explanation of
how operations are routed by default. In particular, the previous use of
"shard replicas" was confusing as it could imply an operation would only
be routed to replicas by default.

* Add support for fragment_length in the unified highlighter
This commit introduce a new break iterator (a BoundedBreakIterator) designed for the unified highlighter
that is able to limit the size of fragments produced by generic break iterator like `sentence`.
The `unified` highlighter now supports `boundary_scanner` which can `words` or `sentence`.
The `sentence` mode will use the bounded break iterator in order to limit the size of the sentence to `fragment_length`.
When sentences bigger than `fragment_length` are produced, this mode will break the sentence at the next word boundary **after**
`fragment_length` is reached.
This commit adds a boundary_scanner property to the search highlight
request so the user can specify different boundary scanners:
* `chars` (default, current behavior)
* `word` Use a WordBreakIterator
* `sentence` Use a SentenceBreakIterator
This commit also adds "boundary_scanner_locale" to define which locale
should be used when scanning the text.
This changes removes the SearchResponseListener that was used by the ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener to expand collapsed hits.
The removal of SearchResponseListener is not a breaking change because it was never released.
This change also replace the blocking call in ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener by a single asynchronous multi search request. The parallelism of the expand request can be set via CollapseBuilder#max_concurrent_group_searches
Closes#23048
These need to be CONSOLEified *now* because we're starting to
require Content-Type headers and they didn't have any.
* cluster/reroute: Marked as CONSOLE but skipped because the docs
build runs with a single node.
* docs/bulk: Marked as NOTCONSOLE because the snippets describe
either examples or `curl` commands. Fixed the `curl` command to
include the `Content-Type` header.
* query-dsl/terms-query: Marked as CONSOLE.
* search/request/rescore: Marked as CONSOLE. Fixed deprecated
syntax.

GeoDistance query, sort, and scripts make use of a crazy GeoDistance enum for handling 4 different ways of computing geo distance: SLOPPY_ARC, ARC, FACTOR, and PLANE. Only two of these are necessary: ARC, PLANE. This commit removes SLOPPY_ARC, and FACTOR and cleans up the way Geo distance is computed.
* Integrate UnifiedHighlighter
This change integrates the Lucene highlighter called "unified" in the list of supported highlighters for ES.
This highlighter can extract offsets from either postings, term vectors, or via re-analyzing text.
The best strategy is picked automatically at query time and depends on the field and the query to highlight.
* Add top hits collapsing to search request
The field collapsing is done with a custom top docs collector that "collapse" search hits with same field value.
The distributed aspect is resolve using the two passes that the regular search uses. The first pass "collapse" the top hits, then the coordinating node merge/collapse the top hits from each shard.
```
GET _search
{
"collapse": {
"field": "category",
}
}
```
This change also adds an ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener that intercepts the search response and expands collapsed hits using the CollapseBuilder#innerHit} options.
The retrieval of each inner_hits is done by sending a query to all shards filtered by the collapse key.
```
GET _search
{
"collapse": {
"field": "category",
"inner_hits": {
"size": 2
}
}
}
```
This change allows specifying alias/wildcard expression in indices_boost.
And added another format for specifying indices_boost. It accepts array of index name and boost pair.
If an index is included in multiple aliases/wildcard expressions, the first match will be used.
With new format, old format is marked as deprecated.
Closes#4756
The shards preference on a search request enables specifying a list of
shards to hit, and then a secondary preference (e.g., "_primary") can be
added. Today, the separator between the shards list and the secondary
preference is ';'. Unfortunately, this is also a valid separtor for URL
query parameters. This means that a preference like "_shards:0;_primary"
will be parsed into two URL parameters: "_shards:0" and "_primary". With
the recent change to strict URL parsing, the second parameter will be
rejected, "_primary" is not a valid URL parameter on a search
request. This means that this feature has never worked (unless the ';'
is escaped, but no one does that because our docs do not that, and there
was no indication from Elasticsearch that this did not work). This
commit changes the separator to '|'.

Previously, this doc was using a field called "content". This is
confusing, especially when the doc starts talking about the content of
the content field. This change makes the field name "comment" which
is less ambiguous and also changes some related field names in the doc
to make a consistent example theme of editing docs around blog posts.
This causes the snippets to be tested during the build and gives
helpful links to the reader to open the docs in console or copy them
as curl commands.

Surprise! You can use sliced scroll to easily parallelize reindex
and friend. They support it because they use the same infrastructure
as a regular search to parse the search request. While we would like
to make an "automatic" option for parallelizing reindex, this manual
option works right now and is pretty convenient!
`profile.asciidoc` now runs all of its command but it doesn't validate
all of the results. Writing the validation is time consuming so I only
did some of it.
* Update rescoring docs in respect to sort
If sort is present in a query the rescore query is not executed. As long as this feature is neither implemented (see discussion in #6788) nor the combination of sort and rescoring raises an error, we should warn the user in the documentation about this.
* Missed a dot
This change replaces the fields parameter with stored_fields when it makes sense.
This is dictated by the renaming we made in #18943 for the search API.
The following list of endpoint has been changed to use `stored_fields` instead of `fields`:
* get
* mget
* explain
The documentation and the rest API spec has been updated to cope with the changes for the following APIs:
* delete_by_query
* get
* mget
* explain
The `fields` parameter has been deprecated for the following APIs (it is replaced by _source filtering):
* update: the fields are extracted from the _source directly.
* bulk: the fields parameter is used but fields are extracted from the source directly so it is allowed to have non-stored fields.
Some APIs still have the `fields` parameter for various reasons:
* cat.fielddata: the fields paramaters relates to the fielddata fields that should be printed.
* indices.clear_cache: used to indicate which fielddata fields should be cleared.
* indices.get_field_mapping: used to filter fields in the mapping.
* indices.stats: get stats on fields (stored or not stored).
* termvectors: fields are retrieved from the stored fields if possible and extracted from the _source otherwise.
* mtermvectors:
* nodes.stats: the fields parameter is used to concatenate completion_fields and fielddata_fields so it's not related to stored_fields at all.
Fixes#20155
This change adds a special field named _none_ that allows to disable the retrieval of the stored fields in a search request or in a TopHitsAggregation.
To completely disable stored fields retrieval (including disabling metadata fields retrieval such as _id or _type) use _none_ like this:
````
POST _search
{
"stored_fields": "_none_"
}
````
