The Migration Assistance API has been functionally replaced by the
Deprecation Info API, and the Migration Upgrade API is not used for the
transition from ES 6.x to 7.x, and does not need to be kept around to
repair indices that were not properly upgraded before upgrading the
cluster, as was the case in 6.
For cases where fields can have multi values, allow the behavior to be
customized through a dedicated configuration field.
By default this will be enabled on the drivers so that existing datasets
work instead of throwing an exception.
For regular SQL usage, the behavior is false so that the user is aware
of the underlying data.
Fix#39700
(cherry picked from commit 2b351571961f172fd59290ee079126bbd081ceaf)
The `GET /_cluster/state` API returns an internal representation of the cluster
state that does change from version to version. It's useful for debugging, but
it is not intended for regular use by clients.
This change adjusts the documentation of `GET /_cluster/state` to clarify that
this API yields an internal representation that should not be expected to
remain stable between versions.

This change adds an option to the `FieldSortBuilder` that allows to transform the type
of a numeric field into another. Possible values for this option are `long` that transforms
the source field into an integer and `double` that transforms the source field into a floating point.
This new option is useful for cross-index search when the sort field is mapped differently on some
indices. For instance if a field is mapped as a floating point in one index and as an integer in another
it is possible to align the type for both indices using the `numeric_type` option:
```
{
"sort": {
"field": "my_field",
"numeric_type": "double" <1>
}
}
```
<1> Ensure that values for this field are transformed to a floating point if needed.
Currently if a field alias is updated, any percolator queries that contain the
alias will still refer to its old target. This PR documents the issue while we
look into addressing it.
Relates to #37212.
`document_type` is the type to use for parsing the document to percolate, which
is already optional and deprecated. However `percotale` queries also have the
ability to percolate existing documents, identified by an index, an id and a
type. This change makes the latter optional and deprecated.

This commit, mostly authored by @DaveCTurner,
adds documentation for elasticsearch-node tool #37696.

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.
- new `rank_feature`/`script_score` queries
- new `index_phrases`/`index_prefixes` options
- disabling `_field_names` doesn't help anymore
- adaptive replica selection is on by default
We were missing release notes for 7.0.0-alpha1. I generated them by running
the release-notes script with a quick hack that filtered out pull requests
that had been closed on or after 2018-11-15.
Some breaking changes had been documented in the release notes rather than
the migration guide so I moved them.
Prior to this commit (and after 6.5.0), if an ingest node changes
the _index in a pipeline, the original target index would be created.
For daily indexes this could create an extra, empty index per day.
This commit changes the TransportBulkAction to execute the ingest node
pipeline before attempting to create the index. This ensures that the
only index created is the original or one set by the ingest node pipeline.
This was the execution order prior to 6.5.0 (#32786).
The execution order was changed in 6.5 to better support default pipelines.
Specifically the execution order was changed to be able to read the settings
from the index meta data. This commit also includes a change in logic such
that if the target index does not exist when ingest node pipeline runs, it
will now pull the default pipeline (if one exists) from the settings of the
best matched of the index template.

This commit introduces the forget follower API. This API is needed in cases that
unfollowing a following index fails to remove the shard history retention leases
on the leader index. This can happen explicitly through user action, or
implicitly through an index managed by ILM. When this occurs, history will be
retained longer than necessary. While the retention lease will eventually
expire, it can be expensive to allow history to persist for that long, and also
prevent ILM from performing actions like shrink on the leader index. As such, we
introduce an API to allow for manual removal of the shard history retention
leases in this case.
This change does the following:
1. Makes the per-node setting xpack.ml.max_open_jobs
into a cluster-wide dynamic setting
2. Changes the job node selection to continue to use the
per-node attributes storing the maximum number of open
jobs if any node in the cluster is older than 7.1, and
use the dynamic cluster-wide setting if all nodes are on
7.1 or later
3. Changes the docs to reflect this
4. Changes the thread pools for native process communication
from fixed size to scaling, to support the dynamic nature
of xpack.ml.max_open_jobs
5. Renames the autodetect thread pool to the job comms
thread pool to make clear that it will be used for other
types of ML jobs (data frame analytics in particular)
Backport of #39320
This is related to #35975. It adds documentation on the remote recovery
process. Additionally, it adds documentation about the various settings
that can impact the process.
* SYS COLUMNS will skip UNSUPPORTED field types in ODBC and JDBC, as well.
NESTED and OBJECT types were already skipped in ODBC mode, now they are
skipped in JDBC mode, as well.

These docs are out of date, now that we override the infinite DNS cache
within Elasticsearch. This commit completely removes this content, as
specific guidance is no longer needed here.
