This commit adds a note regarding not storing a plugin distribution in
the plugins directory during installation or instllation will fail.

The environment variable CONF_DIR was previously inconsistently used in
our packaging to customize the location of Elasticsearch configuration
files. The importance of this environment variable has increased
starting in 6.0.0 as it's now used consistently to ensure Elasticsearch
and all secondary scripts (e.g., elasticsearch-keystore) all use the
same configuration. The name CONF_DIR is there for legacy reasons yet
it's too generic. This commit renames CONF_DIR to ES_PATH_CONF.

By default, the remove plugin CLI command preserves configuration
files. This is so that if a user is upgrading the plugin (which is done
by first removing the old version and then installing the new version)
they do not lose their configuration file. Yet, there are circumstances
where preserving the configuration file is not desired. This commit adds
a purge option to the remove plugin CLI command.

This commit fixes an issue with the plugin docs incorrectly specifying
how to set a custom configuration directory. The correct way is to use
the environment variable CONF_DIR.
This commit addresses an issue with the docs for plugin install via a
proxy on Windows where the HTTP proxy options were incorrectly
specified.

and be much more stingy about what we consider a console candidate.
* Add `// CONSOLE` to check-running
* Fix version in some snippets
* Mark groovy snippets as groovy
* Fix versions in plugins
* Fix language marker errors
* Fix language parsing in snippets
This adds support for snippets who's language is written like
`[source, txt]` and `["source","js",subs="attributes,callouts"]`.
This also makes language required for snippets which is nice because
then we can be sure we can grep for snippets in a particular language.
As some plugins are becoming big now, it is hard for the user to know, if the plugin
is being downloaded or just nothing happens.
This commit adds a progress bar during download, which can be disabled by using the `-q`
parameter.
In addition this updates to jimfs 1.1, which allows us to test the batch mode, as adding
security policies are now supported due to having jimfs:// protocol support in URL stream
handlers.
This commit removes the ability to specify a custom plugins
path. Instead, the plugins path will always be a subdirectory called
"plugins" off of the home directory.
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

The plugin script parses command-line options looking for Java system
properties and extracts these arguments to pass to the java command when
starting the JVM. Since elasticsearch-plugin allows arbitrary user
arguments to the JVM via ES_JAVA_OPTS, this parsing is unnecessary. This
commit removes this unnecessary

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".
Before this commit he tests always run bin/plugin as root which is somewhat
unrealistic and causes trouble (log files owned by root instead of
elasticsearch). After this commit `bin/plugin` runs as root when elasticsearch
is installed via the repository and as elasticsearch otherwise which is much
more realistic.
This also adds extra timeout to starting elasticsearch which is required
when all the plugins are installed. And it fixes up a problem with logging
elasticsearch's log if elasticsearch doesn't start which came up multiple
time while debugging this problem.
Also adds docs recommending running `bin/plugin` as the user that owns the
Elasticsearch files or root if installed with the packages.
Closes#13557
At the moment, when installing from an url, a user provides the plugin name on
the command line like:
* bin/plugin install [plugin-name] --url [url]
This can lead to problems when picking an already existing name from another
plugin, and can potentially overwrite plugins already installed with that name.
This, this PR introduces a mandatory `name` property to the plugin descriptor
file which replaces the name formerly provided by the user.
With the addition of the `name` property to the plugin descriptor file, the user
does not need to specify the plugin name any longer when installing from a file
or url. Because of this, all arguments to `plugin install` command are now
either treated as a symbolic name, a URL or a file without the need to specify
this with an explicit option.
The new syntax for `plugin install` is now:
bin/plugin install [name or url]
* downloads official plugin
bin/plugin install analysis-kuromoji
* downloads github plugin
bin/plugin install lmenezes/elasticsearch-kopf
* install from URL or file
bin/plugin install http://link.to/foo.zip
bin/plugin install file:/path/to/foo.zip
If the argument does not parse to a valid URL, it is assumed to be a name and the
download location is resolved like before. Regardless of the source location of
the plugin, it is extracted to a temporary directory and the `name` property from
the descriptor file is used to determine the final install location.
