discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes is the single most important setting to set on a production cluster. We have no way of supplying a good default so it must be set by the user. Binding a node to a public IP (as opposed to the default local host) is a good enough indication that a node will be part of a production cluster cluster and thus it's a good tradeoff to enforce the settings. Note that nothing prevent users from setting it to 1 in a single node cluster.
Closes#17288
We currently have a `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_client` setting that control whether their ping responses are ignored for master election (which is the current default). With the push to treat client nodes as normal nodes (and promote the transport/rest clients for client work), this should be changed. This commit remove this setting and it's companion `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_data` setting (currently defaulting to false) in favor of singe `discovery.zen.master_election.ignore_non_master_pings` setting with more intuitive name (defaulting to false).

The available memory metric was always set to `0` since 2.0.beta1 (bug). was left behind but never set. Turns out the section wasn't that useful, as it would only output the total memory available throughout all nodes in the cluster. We decided to remove the section then.
In #17198, we removed suggest transport action, which
used the `suggest` threadpool to execute requests. Now
`suggest` threadpool is unused and suggest requests are
executed on the `search` threadpool.
Currently if you run an `exists` query on an object, it will resolve all sub
fields and create a disjunction for all those fields. However the `_field_names`
mapper indexes paths for objects so we could query object paths directly.
I also changed the query parser to reject `exists` queries if the `_field_names`
field is disabled since it would be a big performance trap.
In 5.0 we don't allow index settings to be specified on the node level ie.
in yaml files or via commandline argument. This can cause problems during
upgrade if this was used extensively. For instance if analyzers where
specified on a node level this might cause the index to be closed when
imported (see #17187). In such a case all indices relying on this
must be updated via `PUT /${index}/_settings`. Yet, this API has slightly
different semantics since it overrides existing settings. To make this less
painful this change adds a `preserve_existing` parameter on that API to ensure
we have the same semantics as if the setting was applied on the node level.
This change also adds a better error message and a change to the migration guide
to ensure upgrades are smooth if index settings are specified on the node level.
If a index setting is detected this change fails the node startup and prints a message
like this:
```
*************************************************************************************
Found index level settings on node level configuration.
Since elasticsearch 5.x index level settings can NOT be set on the nodes
configuration like the elasticsearch.yaml, in system properties or command line
arguments.In order to upgrade all indices the settings must be updated via the
/${index}/_settings API. Unless all settings are dynamic all indices must be closed
in order to apply the upgradeIndices created in the future should use index templates
to set default values.
Please ensure all required values are updated on all indices by executing:
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings?preserve_existing=true' -d '{
"index.number_of_shards" : "1",
"index.query.default_field" : "main_field",
"index.translog.durability" : "async",
"index.ttl.disable_purge" : "true"
}'

Also replaced the PercolatorQueryRegistry with the new PercolatorQueryCache.
The PercolatorFieldMapper stores the rewritten form of each percolator query's xcontext
in a binary doc values field. This make sure that the query rewrite happens only during
indexing (some queries for example fetch shapes, terms in remote indices) and
the speed up the loading of the queries in the percolator query cache.
Because the percolator now works inside the search infrastructure a number of features
(sorting fields, pagination, fetch features) are available out of the box.
The following feature requests are automatically implemented via this refactoring:

Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
This commit adds fields bytes_recovered and files_recovered to the cat
recovery API. These fields, respectively, indicate the total number of
bytes and files recovered. Additionally, for consistency, some totals
fields and translog recovery fields have been renamed.
Closes#17064
Enables the touching of all memory pages used by the JVM heap spaces
during initialization of the HotSpot VM, which commits all memory pages
at initialization time. By default, pages are committed only as they are
needed.
The ingest stats include the following statistics:
* `ingest.total.count`- The total number of document ingested during the lifetime of this node
* `ingest.total.time_in_millis` - The total time spent on ingest preprocessing documents during the lifetime of this node
* `ingest.total.current` - The total number of documents currently being ingested.
* `ingest.total.failed` - The total number ingest preprocessing operations failed during the lifetime of this node
Also these stats are returned on a per pipeline basis.
This commit updates the documentation for GeoPointField by removing all references to the coerce and doc_values parameters. DocValues are enabled in lucene GeoPointField by default (required for boundary filtering). The QueryBuilders are updated to automatically normalize points (ignoring the coerce parameter) for any index created onOrAfter version 2.2.
Internally the put pipeline API uses this information in node info API to validate if all specified processors in a pipeline exist on all nodes in the cluster.
The cluster stats api now returns counts for each node role. The `master_data`, `master_only`, `data_only` and `client` fields have been removed from the response in favour of `master`, `data`, `ingest` and `coordinating_only`. The same node can have multiple roles, hence contribute to multiple roles counts. Every node is implicitly a coordinating node, so whenever a node has no explicit roles, it will be counted as coordinating only.
_cat/nodes used to return `c` for client node or `d` for data node as part of the node.role column. This commit changes it to return `m` for master eligible, `d` for data and/or `i` for ingest. A node with no explicit roles will be a coordinating only node and marked with `-`. A node can obviously have multiple roles. The master column has been adapted to return only whether a node is the current master (`*`) or not (`-`).
The field name is a required argument for all suggesters, but
it was specified via a field() setter in SuggestionBuilder so far.
This changes field name to being a mandatory constructor argument
and lets suggestion builders throw an error if field name is missing
or the empty string.
Use 'includeSegmentFileSizes' as the flag name to report disk usage.
Added test that verifies reported segment disk usage is growing accordingly after adding a document.
Documentation: Reference the new parameter as part of indices stats.
Currently we suggesting users create a Node (using NodeBuilder in 2.x) to have a client that is capable of keeping up-to-date information. This is generally a bad idea as it means elasticsearch has no control over eg max heap size or gc settings, and is also problematic for users because they must deal with dependency collisions (and in 2.x+ dependencies of elasticsearch itself).
A better alternative, and what we should document, is to run a local elasticsearch server using bin/elasticsearch, and then use the transport client to connect to that local node. This local connection is virtually free, and allows the client code to be completely isolated from the elasticsearch process. Plugins are then also easy to deal with: just install them in elasticsearch as usual.

ba5be0332d removed support for degrading
to slf4j and j.u.l but didn't document this as a breaking change because
it is only breaking for folks using Elasticsearch's jar as a java client.
People do that so this counts as a breaking change.
Also, if anyone was brave enough to try and replace log4j on an installed
version of Elasticsearch that will no longer work and this documents that
as well. It doens't get a full heading and instead lives with the java
client notes. Mostly because I can't imagine it worked consistently enough
for anyone to actually do it in the first place. We just never tested it
well enough to make sure we didn't break it after it was implemented.
This commit adds a note to the migration docs regarding the reduction of

Java NIO has the notion of gathering writes. These are writes that
gather data from multiple buffers into a single channel. These gathering
writes in Netty have been enabled by default with the possibility to
disable them using "es.netty.gathering". This flag was added in case
having gathering writes on by default did not work out. We have not
published this ability and sufficient time has passed to render
judgement that using gathering writes is okay.

2.x has show so far that running with security manager is the way to go.
This commit make this non-optional. Users that need to pass their own rules
can still do this via the system configuration for the security manager. They
can even opt out of all security that way.
This commit moves IndicesRequestCache into o.e.indics and makes all API in this
class package private. All references to SearchReqeust, SearchContext etc. have been factored
out and relevant glue code has been added to IndicesService. The IndicesRequestCache is not a
simple class without any hard dependencies on ThreadPool nor SearchService or IndexShard. This now
allows to add unittests.
This commit also removes two settings `indices.requests.cache.clean_interval` and `indices.fielddata.cache.clean_interval`
in favor of `indices.cache.clean_interval` which cleans both caches.
The cat API previously used the Content-Type header field for
determining the media type of the response. This is in opposition to the
HTTP spec which specifies the Accept header field for this purpose. This
commit replaces the use of the Content-Type header field with the Accept
header field in the cat API.

This processor is useful when all elements of a json array need to be processed in the same way.
This avoids that a processor needs to be defined for each element in an array.
Also it is very likely that it is unknown how many elements are inside an json array.
As a prerequisite for refactoring the whole PhraseSuggestionBuilder
to be able to be parsed and streamed from the coordinating node, the
DirectCandidateGenerator must implement Writeable, be able to parse
a new instance (fromXContent()) and later when transported to the
shard to generate a PhraseSuggestionContext.DirectCandidateGenerator.
Also adding equals/hashCode and tests and moving DirectCandidateGenerator
to its own DirectCandidateGeneratorBuilder class.
This commit adds a tip to the setup docs for how to detect whether the

This setting was missing from the docs, so I added it. However, I also
completely rewrote the nodes documentation page because it was mostly
talking about client nodes with some issues, without ever discussing
master nodes, or even tribe nodes. All nodes should be listed on a
"nodes" documentation page.

This commit limits the `index.translog.sync_interval` to a value not less than `100ms` and
removes the support for fsync on every operation which used to be enabled if `index.translog.sync_interval` was set to `0s`
Now this pr also only schedules an async fsync if the durability is set to `async`. By default not async task is scheduled.

This commit converts the script mode settings to the new settings
infrastructure. This is a major refactoring of the handling of script
mode settings. This refactoring is necessary because these settings are
determined at runtime based on the registered script engines and the
registered script contexts.
The search_after parameter provides a way to efficiently paginate from one page to the next. This parameter accepts an array of sort values, those values are then used by the searcher to sort the top hits from the first document that is greater to the sort values.
This parameter must be used in conjunction with the sort parameter, it must contain exactly the same number of values than the number of fields to sort on.
NOTE: A field with one unique value per document should be used as the last element of the sort specification. Otherwise the sort order for documents that have the same sort values would be undefined. The recommended way is to use the field `_uuid` which is certain to contain one unique value for each document.
Fixes#8192
Doc values can now only be enabled by setting `doc_values: true` in the
mappings. Removing this feature also means that we can now fail mapping updates
that try to disable doc values.
Doc values currently default to `true` if the field is indexed and not analyzed.
So setting `index:no` automatically disables doc values, which is not explicit
in the documentation.
This commit makes doc values default to true for numerics, booleans regardless
of whether they are indexed. Not indexed strings still don't have doc values,
since we can't know whether it is rather a text or keyword field. This
potential source of confusion should go away when we split `string` into `text`
and `keyword`.
RescoreBuilder: Add parsing and creating of RescoreSearchContext

Merge feature/ingest branch into master branch.
This adds the ingest feature to ES that allows to preprocess document before indexing on an ingest node.
By default a node is an ingest node. Documents are preprocessed via a pipeline. A pipeline consists
out of one or more processors Each processor makes one or more modifications to a document processed.
There are many types of processors available out-of-the-box that are designed to make a specific change to a document being processed. In a cluster many pipeline can be configured via dedicated pipeline APIs. An new option on the bulk
and index APIs allows to control what pipeline is picked for preprocessing. If no pipeline is specified then the ingest
feature is skipped and no preprocessing takes place.
- move ingest plugin docs to core reference docs
- move geoip processor docs to plugins/ingest-geoip.asciidoc
- add missing options tables for some processors
- add description of pipeline definition
- add description of processor definitions including common parameters
like "tag" and "on_failure"
With this commit we deprecate the widely misunderstood
fuzzy query but will still allow the fuzziness
parameter in match queries and suggesters.
