Lucene 8.0 includes a [change](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8635)
that moves the terms index off-heap for all fields but ID fields. I'm
including this in the migration notes so that users who have queries that match
lots of terms won't be surprised in case of slowdown.
This change forbids negative field boost in the `query_string`, `simple_query_string`
and `multi_match` queries.
Negative boosts are not allowed in Lucene 8 (scores must be positive).
The backport of this change to 6x will turn the error into a deprecation warning
in order to raise the awareness of this breaking change in 7.0.
Closes#33309
Doc-value fields now return a value that is based on the mappings rather than
the script implementation by default.
This deprecates the special `use_field_mapping` docvalue format which was added
in #29639 only to ease the transition to 7.x and it is not necessary anymore in
7.0.
This commit changes the default for the `track_total_hits` option of the search request
to `10,000`. This means that by default search requests will accurately track the total hit count
up to `10,000` documents, requests that match more than this value will set the `"total.relation"`
to `"gte"` (e.g. greater than or equals) and the `"total.value"` to `10,000` in the search response.
Scroll queries are not impacted, they will continue to count the total hits accurately.
The default is set back to `true` (accurate hit count) if `rest_total_hits_as_int` is set in the search request.
I choose `10,000` as the default because that's also the number we use to limit pagination. This means that users will be able to know how far they can jump (up to 10,000) even if the total number of hits is not accurate.
Closes#33028
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

When building a query Lucene distinguishes two cases, queries that require to produce a score and queries that only need to match. We cloned this mechanism in the QueryBuilders in order to be able to produce different queries based on whether they need to produce a score or not. However the only case in es that require this distinction is the BoolQueryBuilder that sets a different minimum_should_match when a `bool` query is built in a filter context..
This behavior doesn't seem right because it makes the matching of `should` clauses different when the score is not required.
Closes#35293
* Forbid negative scores in functon_score query

When a envelope that crosses the dateline is specified as a part of
geo_shape query is parsed it shouldn't have its left and right points
flipped.
Fixes#34418
The `term` and `phrase` suggesters have different options to filter candidates
based on their frequencies. The `popular` mode for instance filters candidate
terms that occur in less docs than the original term. However when we compute this threshold
we use the total term frequency of a term instead of the document frequency. This is not inline
with the actual filtering which is always based on the document frequency. This change fixes
this discrepancy and clarifies the meaning of the different frequencies in use in the suggesters.
It also ensures that the threshold doesn't overflow the maximum allowed value (Integer.MAX_VALUE).
Closes#34282
This change disallows negative query boosts. Negative scores are not allowed in Lucene 8 so
it is easier to just disallow negative boosts entirely. We should also deprecate negative boosts
in 6x in order to ensure that users are aware when they'll upgrade to ES 7.
Relates #33309
We used to set `maxScore` to `0` within `TopDocs` in situations where there is really no score as the size was set to `0` and scores were not even tracked. In such scenarios, `Float.Nan` is more appropriate, which gets converted to `max_score: null` on the REST layer. That's also more consistent with lucene which set `maxScore` to `Float.Nan` when merging empty `TopDocs` (see `TopDocs#merge`).
Currently, if geo context is represented by something other than
geo_point or an object with lat and lon fields, the parsing of it
as a geo context can result in ignoring the context altogether,
returning confusing errors such as number_format_exception or trying
to parse the number specifying as long-encoded hash code. It would also
fail if the geo_point was stored.
This commit makes the mapping parsing more strict and will fail during
mapping update or index creation if the geo context doesn't point to
a geo_point field.
Supersedes #32412Closes#32202
With `max_concurrent_shard_requests` we used to throttle / limit
the number of concurrent shard requests a high level search request
can execute per node. This had several problems since it limited the
number on a global level based on the number of nodes. This change
now throttles the number of concurrent requests per node while still
allowing concurrency across multiple nodes.
Closes#31192
When `lenient=false`, attempts to create match phrase queries with custom analyzers against non-text fields will throw an IllegalArgumentException.
Also changes `*Match*QueryBuilderTests` so that it avoids this scenario
Fixes#31061
Currently failures to compile a script usually lead to a ScriptException, which
inherits the 500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR from ElasticsearchException if it does
not contain another root cause. Instead, this should be a 400 Bad Request error.
This PR changes this more generally for script compilation errors by changing
ScriptException to return 400 (bad request) as status code.
Closes#12315
Treats geohashes as grid cells instead of just points when the
geohashes are used to specify the edges in the geo_bounding_box
query. For example, if a geohash is used to specify the top_left
corner, the top left corner of the geohash cell will be used as the
corner of the bounding box.
Closes#25154
This change validates that the `_search` request does not have trailing
tokens after the main object and fails the request with a parsing exception otherwise.
Closes#28995
This commit removes some parameters deprecated in 6.x (or 5.x):
`use_dismax`, `split_on_whitespace`, `all_fields` and `lowercase_expanded_terms`.

* Reject regex search if regex string is too long (#28344)
* Add docs
* Introduce index level setting `index.max_regex_length`
to control the maximum length of the regular expression
Closes#28344
- Introduce index level settings to control the maximum number of terms
that can be used in a Terms Query
- Throw an error if a request exceeds this max number
Closes#18829
#27409 deprecated the incorrectly-spelled `levenstein` in favour of `levenshtein`.
#27526 deprecated the inconsistent `jarowinkler` in favour of `jaro_winkler`.
These changes were merged into 6.2, and this change removes them entirely in 7.0.
Queries that create a scroll context cannot use the cache.
They modify the search context during their execution so using the cache
can lead to duplicate result for the next scroll query.
This change fails the entire request if the request_cache option is explictely set
on a query that creates a scroll context (`scroll=1m`) and make sure internally that we never
use the cache for these queries when the option is not explicitely used.
For 6.x a deprecation log will be printed instead of failing the entire request and the request_cache hint
will be ignored (forced to false).
