It is important that folks understand that snapshot/restore isn't
for archiving. It is appropriate for backup and disaster recovery
but not for archival over long periods of time because of version
incompatibility.
Closes#20866
Relates to #18160
Uses the new sorting (#20658) in the `_cat` API to support all use
cases natively. We can still resort to piping things through `sort`
if we need to, but we don't have to for basic stuff like sorting!
* Adding built-in sorting capability to _cat apis.
Closes#16975
* addressing pr comments
* changing value types back to original implementation and fixing cosmetic issues
* Changing compareTo, hashCode of value types to a better implementation
* Changed value compareTos to use Double.compare instead of if statements + fixed some failed unit tests
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 '|'.

This change proposes the removal of all non-tcp transport implementations. The
mock transport can be used by default to run tests instead of local transport that has
roughly the same performance compared to TCP or at least not noticeably slower.
This is a master only change, deprecation notice in 5.x will be committed as a
separate change.
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.

Today when parsing a request, Elasticsearch silently ignores incorrect
(including parameters with typos) or unused parameters. This is bad as
it leads to requests having unintended behavior (e.g., if a user hits
the _analyze API and misspell the "tokenizer" then Elasticsearch will
just use the standard analyzer, completely against intentions).
This commit removes lenient URL parameter parsing. The strategy is
simple: when a request is handled and a parameter is touched, we mark it
as such. Before the request is actually executed, we check to ensure
that all parameters have been consumed. If there are remaining
parameters yet to be consumed, we fail the request with a list of the
unconsumed parameters. An exception has to be made for parameters that
format the response (as opposed to controlling the request); for this
case, handlers are able to provide a list of parameters that should be
excluded from tripping the unconsumed parameters check because those
parameters will be used in formatting the response.
Additionally, some inconsistencies between the parameters in the code
and in the docs are corrected.

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
today it's not possible to use date-math efficiently with the `_rollover`
API. This change adds support for date-math in the target index as well as
support for preserving the math logic when an existing index that was created with
a date math expression all subsequent indices are created with the same expression.
this change adds a hard limit to `index.number_of_shard` that prevents
indices from being created that have more than 1024 shards. This is still
a huge limit and can only be changed via settings a system property.
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!
