* Update the top-level 'getting started' guide.
* Remove custom types from the painless getting started documentation.
* Fix an incorrect references to '_doc' in the cardinality query docs.
* Update the _update docs to use the typeless API format.
The documentation currently tells users to use `doc['event_date'].value.getMillis` to access
milliseconds in a date. It turns out the way it works is `doc['event_date'].value.millis`. This
change corrects this and gives a hint at how other date related methods work.
This commit switches the joda time backcompat in scripting to use
augmentation over ZonedDateTime. The augmentation methods provide
compatibility with the missing methods between joda's DateTime and
java's ZonedDateTime. Due to getDayOfWeek returning an enum in the java
API, ZonedDateTime is wrapped so that the method can return int like the
joda time does. The java time api version is renamed to
getDayOfWeekEnum, which will be kept through 7.x for compatibility while
users switch back to getDayOfWeek once joda compatibility is removed.
This commit adds a boolean system property, `es.scripting.use_java_time`,
which controls the concrete return type used by doc values within
scripts. The return type of accessing doc values for a date field is
changed to Object, essentially duck typing the type to allow
co-existence during the transition from joda time to java time.
Throw an exception for doc['field'].value
if this document is missing a value for the field.
After deprecation changes have been backported to 6.x,
make this a default behaviour in 7.0
Closes#29286
* Handle missing values in painless
Throw an exception for `doc['field'].value`
if this document is missing a value for the `field`.
For 7.0:
This is the default behaviour from 7.0
For 6.x:
To enable this behavior from 6.x, a user can set a jvm.option:
`-Des.script.exception_for_missing_value=true` on a node.
If a user does not enable this behavior, a deprecation warning is logged on start up.
Closes#29286
Added an api that allows to execute an arbitrary script and a result to be returned.
```
POST /_scripts/painless/_execute
{
"script": {
"source": "params.var1 / params.var2",
"params": {
"var1": 1,
"var2": 1
}
}
}
```
Relates to #27875
Adds support for triple quoted strings to the documentation test
generator. Kibana's CONSOLE tool has supported them for a year but we
were unable to use them in Elasticsearch's docs because the process that
converts example snippets into tests couldn't handle this. This change
adds code to convert them into standard JSON so we can pass them to
Elasticsearch.
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.
