Currently both ProfileResult and CollectorResult print the time field in a human readable string format
(e.g. "time": "55.20315000ms"). When trying to parse this back to a long value, for example to use in
the planned high level java rest client, we can lose precision because of conversion and rounding issues.
This change adds a new additional field (`time_in_nanos`) to the profile response to be able to get the
original time value in nanoseconds back.
The old `time` field is only printed when the `?`human=true` flag in the url is set. This follow the behaviour for
all other stats-related apis. Also the format of the `time` field is slightly changed. Instead of always formatting
the output as a 10-digit ms value, by using the `XContentBuilder#timeValueField()` method we now print
the largest time unit present is used (e.g. "s", "ms", "micros").
For certain situations, end-users need the base path for Elasticsearch
logs. Exposing this as a property is better than hard-coding the path
into the logging configuration file as otherwise the logging
configuration file could easily diverge from the Elasticsearch
configuration file. Additionally, Elasticsearch will only have
permissions to write to the log directory configured in the
Elasticsearch configuration file. This commit adds a property that
exposes this base path.
One use-case for this is configuring a rollover strategy to retain logs
for a certain period of time. As such, we add an example of this to the
documentation.
Additionally, we expose the property es.logs.cluster_name as this is
used as the name of the log files in the default configuration.
Finally, we expose es.logs.node_name in cases where node.name is
explicitly set in case users want to include the node name as part of
the name of the log files.

Today when you do not specify a port for an entry in
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts, the default port is the value of the
setting transport.profiles.default.port and falls back to the value of
transport.tcp.port if this is not set. For a node that is explicitly
bound to a different port than the default port, this means that the
default port will be equal to this explicitly bound port. Yet, the docs
say that we fall back to 9300 here. This commit corrects the docs.

#9261 added a warning about the use of `add-apt-repository` which is becoming obsolete over time as new distribution releases include later versions of `add-apt-repository` which don't automatically add the `deb-src` line. This change updates the documentation to make the block a note rather than a warning and adds two other reasons for avoiding `add-apt-repository` which are still relevant: avoiding edits to a system shared file and not requiring a large number of non-default packages to add one line of text to a file.
The example
```

This commit updates the cluster allocation explain API documentation to

* Promote longs to doubles when a terms agg mixes decimal and non-decimal number
This change makes the terms aggregation work when the buckets coming from different indices are a mix of decimal numbers and non-decimal numbers. In this case non-decimal number (longs) are promoted to decimal (double) which can result in a loss of precision for big numbers.

After deprecating getters and setters and the query DSL parameter in 5.x,
support for `minimum_number_should_match` can be removed entirely. Also
consolidated comments with the ones on 5.x branch and added an entry to the
migration docs.
The `Script source settings` section currently states that `false` means scripting is ENABLED.
The other sections seem to indicate that `false` means scripting is DISABLED.
If the current documentation is correct, that would imply that `inline` and `stored` scripting are ENABLED by default, which seems to conflict with all the other sections in the document.
This adds a new `normalizer` property to `keyword` fields that pre-processes the
field value prior to indexing, but without altering the `_source`. Note that
only the normalization components that work on a per-character basis are
applied, so for instance stemming filters will be ignored while lowercasing or
ascii folding will be applied.
Closes#18064
Today we try to pull stats from index writer but we do not get a
consistent view of stats. Under heavy indexing, this inconsistency can
be very skewed indeed. In particular, it can lead to the number of

using an index reader.

With this commit we change the data type of the 'TIMESTAMP'
meta-data field from a formatted date string to a plain
`java.util.Date` instance. The main reason for this change is
that our benchmarks have indicated that this contributes
significantly to the time spent in the ingest pipeline.
The overhead in terms of indexing throughput of the ingest
pipeline is about 15% and breaks down roughly as follows:
* 5% overhead caused by the conversion from `XContent` -> `Map`
* 5% overhead caused by the timestamp formatting
* 5% overhead caused by the conversion `Map` -> `XContent`

We try to install a system call filter on various operating systems
(Linux, macOS, BSD, Solaris, and Windows) but the setting
(bootstrap.seccomp) to control this is named after the Linux
implementation (seccomp). This commit replaces this setting with
bootstrap.system_call_filter. For backwards compatibility reasons, we
fallback to bootstrap.seccomp and log a deprecation message if
bootstrap.seccomp is set. We intend to remove this fallback in
6.0.0. Note that now is the time to make this change it's likely that
most users are not making this setting anyway as prior to version 5.2.0
(currently unreleased) it was not necessary to configure anything to
enable a node to start up if the system call filter failed to install
(we marched on anyway) but starting in 5.2.0 it will be necessary in
this case.

Sends the `error_trace` parameter with all requests sent by the
yaml test framework, including the doc snippet tests. This can be
overridden by settings `error_trace: false`. While this drift's
core's handling of the yaml tests from the client's slightly this
should only be a problem for tests that rely on the default value,
both of which I've fixed by setting the value explicitly.
This also escapes `\n` and `\t` in the `Stash dump on failure` so
the `stack_trace` is more readable.
Also fixes `RestUpdateSettingsAction` to not think of the `error_trace`
parameter as a setting.
* Replace _suggest endpoint to _search in docs

With this commit we enable the Jackson feature 'STRICT_DUPLICATE_DETECTION'

by setting `-Des.json.strict_duplicate_detection=false` which is
intentionally undocumented.

Our query DSL supports empty queries (`{}`), which have a different meaning depending on the query that holds it, either ignored, match_all or match_none. We deprecated the support for empty queries in 5.0, where we log a deprecation warning wherever they are used.
The way we supported it once we moved query parsing to the coordinating node was having an Optional<QueryBuilder> return type in all of our parse methods (called fromXContent). See #17624. The central place for this was QueryParseContext#parseInnerQueryBuilder. We can now remove all the optional return types and simply throw an exception whenever an empty query is found.
When we decided to deprecate and remove fuzzy query in #15760, we didn't realize we would take away the possibililty for uses to use a fuzzy query as part of a span query, which is not possible using match query. This means we have to go back and un-deprecate fuzzy query, which will not be removed.

The reference for the jvm.options docs recently changed from
es-java-opts to jvm-options. This commit fixes a broken reference that
arose as a result of this change.
Elasticsearch can be run in a few different ways:
- from the command line on Linux and Windows
- as a service on Linux and Windows
on both 32-bit client and 64-bit server VMs. We strive for a great
out-of-the-box experience any of these combinations but today it is
lacking on 32-bit client JVMs and on the Windows service. There are two
deficiencies that arise:
- on any 32-bit client JVM we fail to start out of the box because we
force the server JVM in jvm.options
- when installing the Windows service, the thread stack size must be
specified in jvm.options
This commit attempts to address these deficiencies.
We should continue to force the server JVM because there are systems
where the server JVM is not active by default (e.g., the 32-bit JDK on
Windows). This does mean that if a user tries to run with a client JVM
they will see a failure message at startup but this is the best that we
can do if we want to continue to force the server JVM. Thus, this commit
at least documents this situation.
To improve the situation with installing the Windows service, this
commit adds a default setting for the thread stack size. This default is
chosen based on the default thread stack size across all 64-bit server
JVMs. This means that if a user tries to run with a 32-bit JVM they
could otherwise see significantly higher memory usage (this situation is
complicated, it's really only on Windows where the extra memory usage is
egregious, but cutting into the 32-bit address space on any system is
bad). So this commit makes it so that the out-of-the-box experience is
improved for the Windows service on 64-bit server JVMs and we document
the need to adjust this setting on 32-bit JVMs.
Again, we are focusing on the out-of-the-box experience here and this
means optimizing for the best experience on any 64-bit server JVM as
this covers the vast majority of the user base. The users that are on
32-bit JVMs will suffer a little bit but at least now any user on any
64-bit server JVM can start Elasticsearch out of the box.
Finally, we fix some references to the jvm.options documentation.

It used to be a hybrid store between `niofs` and `mmapfs`, which we removed when
we switched to `fs` by default (which is `mmapfs` on 64-bits systems).
Currently, the `terms` query is just syctactic sugar for a `bool` query when
used in a query context. This change proposes to always generate the same query
in query and filter contexts, which is less confusing.
For the record, I also had to remove the geo-hash cell and geo-distance range
queries to make the code compile. These queries already throw an exception in
all cases with 5.x indices, so that does not hurt any more.
I also had to rename all 2.x bwc indices from `index-${version}` to
`unsupported-${version}` to make `OldIndexBackwardCompatibilityIT`
happy.
These query names were all deprecated in 5.0.0:
- in is removed in favour of terms
- geo_bbox is removed in favour of geo_bounding_box
- mlt is removed in favour of more_like_this
- fuzzy_match and match_fuzzy are removed in favour of match

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
Lucene 6.2 added index and query support for numeric ranges. This commit adds a new RangeFieldMapper for indexing numeric (int, long, float, double) and date ranges and creating appropriate range and term queries. The design is similar to NumericFieldMapper in that it uses a RangeType enumerator for implementing the logic specific to each type. The following range types are supported by this field mapper: int_range, float_range, long_range, double_range, date_range.
Lucene does not provide a DocValue field specific to RangeField types so the RangeFieldMapper implements a CustomRangeDocValuesField for handling doc value support.
When executing a Range query over a Range field, the RangeQueryBuilder has been enhanced to accept a new relation parameter for defining the type of query as one of: WITHIN, CONTAINS, INTERSECTS. This provides support for finding all ranges that are related to a specific range in a desired way. As with other spatial queries, DISJOINT can be achieved as a MUST_NOT of an INTERSECTS query.
Integrate the patch from LUCENE-6664 into elasticsearch and
add support for handling a graph token stream in match/multi-match
queries.
This fixes longstanding bugs with multi-token synonyms returning
incorrect results with proximity queries.
NOTE: The result of `?.` and `?:` can't be assigned to primitives. So
`int[] someArray = null; int l = someArray?.length` and
`int s = params.size ?: 100` don't work. Do
`def someArray = null; def l = someArray?.length` and
`def s = params.size ?: 100` instead.

Add indices and filter information to search shards api output
The search shards api returns info about which shards are going to be hit by executing a search with provided parameters: indices, routing, preference. Indices can also be aliases, which can also hold filters. The output includes an array of shards and a summary of all the nodes the shards are allocated on. This commit adds a new indices section to the search shards output that includes one entry per index, where each index can be associated with an optional filter in case the index was hit through a filtered alias.
This is relevant since we have moved parsing of alias filters to the coordinating node.
Relates to #20916
Today we eagerly resolve unicast hosts. This means that if DNS changes,
we will never find the host at the new address. Moreover, a single host
failng to resolve causes startup to abort. This commit introduces lazy
resolution of unicast hosts. If a DNS entry changes, there is an
opportunity for the host to be discovered. Note that under the Java
security manager, there is a default positive cache of infinity for
resolved hosts; this means that if a user does want to operate in an
environment where DNS can change, they must adjust
networkaddress.cache.ttl in their security policy. And if a host fails
to resolve, we warn log the hostname but continue pinging other
configured hosts.
When doing DNS resolutions for unicast hostnames, we wait until the DNS
lookups timeout. This appears to be forty-five seconds on modern JVMs,
and it is not configurable. If we do these serially, the cluster can be
blocked during ping for a lengthy period of time. This commit introduces
doing the DNS lookups in parallel, and adds a user-configurable timeout
for these lookups.

The `type` parameter has always been accepted by the search_shards api, probably to make the api and its urls the same as search. Truth is that the type never had any effect, it's been ignored from day one while accepting it may make users think that we actually do something with it.
This commit removes support for the type parameter from the REST layer and the Java API. Backwards compatibility is maintained on the transport layer though.
The new added serialization test also uncovered a bug in the java API where the `ClusterSearchShardsRequest` could be created with no arguments, but the indices were required to be not null otherwise the request couldn't be serialized as `writeTo` would throw NPE. Fixed by setting a default value (empty array) for indices.
As part of #20925 and #21341 we added an "all-fields" mode to the
`query_string` and `simple_query_string`. This would expand the query to
all fields and automatically set `lenient` to true.
However, we should still allow a user to override the `lenient` flag to
whichever value they desire, should they add it in the request. This
commit does that.
Implements a null coalescing operator in painless that looks like `?:`. This form was chosen to emulate Groovy's `?:` operator. It is different in that it only coalesces null values, instead of Groovy's `?:` operator which coalesces all falsy values. I believe that makes it the same as Kotlin's `?:` operator. In other languages this operator looks like `??` (C#) and `COALESCE` (SQL) and `:-` (bash).
This operator is lazy, meaning the right hand side is only evaluated at all if the left hand side is null.
The first changed referred to an example of the 2.4 documentation. I removed the no longer relevant parts. We should consider adding a little more here.

There is an issue in the Grok Processor, where trace_match: true does not inject the _ingest._grok_match_index into the ingest-document when there is just one pattern provided. This is due to an optimization in the regex construction. This commit adds a check for when this is the case, and injects a static index value of "0", since there is only one pattern matched (at the first index into the patterns).
To make this clearer, more documentation was added to the grok-processor docs.
Fixes#21371.
This changes only the query parsing behavior to be strict when searching on
boolean values. We continue to accept the variety of values during index time,

This commit introduces a new execution mode for the
`simple_query_string` query, which is intended down the road to be a
replacement for the current _all field.
It now does auto-field-expansion and auto-leniency when the following criteria
are ALL met:
The _all field is disabled
No default_field has been set in the index settings
No fields are specified in the request
Additionally, a user can force the "all-like" execution by setting the
all_fields parameter to true.
When executing in all field mode, the `simple_query_string` query will
look at all the fields in the mapping that are not metafields and can be
searched, and automatically expand the list of fields that are going to
be queried.
Relates to #20925, which is the `query_string` version of this work.
This is basically the same behavior, but for the `simple_query_string`
query.
Relates to #19784
Null safe dereferences make handling null or missing values shorter.
Compare without:
```
if (ctx._source.missing != null && ctx._source.missing.foo != null) {
ctx._source.foo_length = ctx.source.missing.foo.length()
}
```
To with:
```
Integer length = ctx._source.missing?.foo?.length();
if (length != null) {
ctx._source.foo_length = length
}
```
Combining this with the as of yet unimplemented elvis operator allows
for very concise defaults for nulls:
```
ctx._source.foo_length = ctx._source.missing?.foo?.length() ?: 0;
```
Since you have to start somewhere, we started with null safe dereferenes.
Anyway, this is a feature borrowed from groovy. Groovy allows writing to
null values like:
```
def v = null
v?.field = 'cat'
```
And the writes are simply ignored. Painless doesn't support this at this
point because it'd be complex to implement and maybe not all that useful.
There is no runtime cost for this feature if it is not used. When it is
used we implement it fairly efficiently, adding a jump rather than a
temporary variable.
This should also work fairly well with doc values.
