This means that the result of the action can now be async and we can then implement moving immediately to the next action if the current one is complete
The client and index metadata have now been abstracted away from the Lifecycle classes behind IndexLifecycleContext. This allow us to test the state machine without having to worry about how the state is persisted and read. It also makes the classes much easier to read and reason about.
The lifecycles are stored as custom metadata objects in the cluster state. This change also cleans up the parsing of the lifecycle state so that it can be parsed properly
This test verifies that we have sufficient failover code so that
a newly elected master re-registers old schedules and fires them off.
All times are relative to the index creation date.
Feature consists of a shell of a persistant task which will later be used to inspect the index settings and apply curator like changes to the index (move from hot to warm, rollover, shrink etc.)
