We want to upgrade to Lucene 7 ahead of time in order to be able to check whether it causes any trouble to Elasticsearch before Lucene 7.0 gets released. From a user perspective, the main benefit of this upgrade is the enhanced support for sparse fields, whose resource consumption is now function of the number of docs that have a value rather than the total number of docs in the index.
Some notes about the change:
- it includes the deprecation of the `disable_coord` parameter of the `bool` and `common_terms` queries: Lucene has removed support for coord factors
- it includes the deprecation of the `index.similarity.base` expert setting, since it was only useful to configure coords and query norms, which have both been removed
- two tests have been marked with `@AwaitsFix` because of #23966, which we intend to address after the merge
* Upgrade to Lucene 6.4.0
`ValueSource`s are now converted to `DoubleValueSource`s using the Lucene adapter made for the migration to the new API in 6.4.0.
Set lucene version to 6.4.0-snapshot-ec38570 and update all the sha1s/license
Fix invalid combo after upgrade in query_string query. split_on_whitespace=false is disallowed if auto_generate_phrase_queries=true
Adapt the expectations of some tests to the new format of the Lucene explain output
Since Lucene 6.2. the UkrainianMorfologikAnalyzer is available through the
lucene-analyzers-morfologik jar. This change exposes it to be used as an
elasticsearch plugin.
