Currently, the only way to get the REST response for the `/_cluster/state`
call to return the `cluster_uuid` is to request the `metadata` metrics,
which is one of the most expensive response structures. However, external
monitoring agents will likely want the `cluster_uuid` to correlate the
response with other API responses whether or not they want cluster
metadata.
Add yet another warning about data loss to the introductory paragraph about the
unsafe commands. Also move this paragraph next to the details of the unsafe
commands, below the section on the `retry_failed` flag.
Be more specific about how to use the URI parameters and in-body flags.
Clarify statements about when rebalancing takes place (i.e. it respects
settings)
Resolves#16113.
Today when a resize operation is performed, we copy the analysis,
similarity, and sort settings from the source index. It is possible for
the resize request to include additional index settings including
analysis, similarity, and sort settings. We reject sort settings when
validating the request. However, we silently ignore analysis and
similarity settings on the request that are already set on the source
index. Since it is possible to change the analysis and similarity
settings on an existing index, this should be considered a bug and the
sort of leniency that we abhor. This commit addresses this bug by
allowing the request analysis/similarity settings to override the
existing analysis/similarity settings on the target.
A previous change modified the output of the thread pool info contained
in the nodes info API. This commit adds a note to the migration docs for
this change.
A NullPointerException is thrown when trying to create or delete
a snapshot in a repository that has been written to by an older
Elasticsearch after writing to it with a newer Elasticsearch version.
This is because the way snapshots are formatted in the repository
snapshots index file changed in #24477.
This commit changes the parsing of the repository index file so that
it now detects a corrupted index file and fails early the snapshot
operation.
closes#29052
We already had *some* documentation of the batch nature of `reindex` and
friends but it wasn't super obvious how it interacted with the
`failures` element in the response. This adds some more documentation
the `failures` element.
Clearing the cache indices can be done via GET and POST. As GET should
only support read only operations, this removes the support for using
GET for clearing the indices caches.
Adding some allowed abbreviated values for intervals in date histograms
as well as documenting the limitations of intervals larger than days.
Closes#23294
The documentation for settings index.routing.allocation.enable,
index.routing.rebalance.enable and index.gc_deletes was lost in
f123a53d72. This change reinstates it.
* Clarify documentation of scroll_id
The Scroll API may return the same scroll ID for multiple requests due to server side state. This is not clear from the current documentation.
* Further clarify scroll ID return behaviour
This metric previously existed for backwards compatibility reasons
although the suggest stats were folded into search stats. This metric
was deprecated in 6.3.0 and this commit removes them for 7.0.0.
This commit adds the distribution type to the startup scripts so that we
can discern from log output and the main response the type of the
distribution (deb/rpm/tar/zip).
This commit adds the distribution flavor (default versus oss) to the
build process which is passed through the startup scripts to
Elasticsearch. This change will be used to customize the message on
attempting to install/remove x-pack based on the distribution flavor.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
The suggest stats were folded into the search stats as part of the
indices stats API in 5.0.0. However, the suggest metric remained as a
synonym for the search metric for BWC reasons. This commit deprecates
usage of the suggest metric on the indices stats API.
Similarly, due to the changes to fold the suggest stats into the search
stats, requesting the suggest index metric on the indices metric on the
nodes stats API has produced an empty object as the response since
5.0.0. This commit deprecates this index metric on the indices metric on
the nodes stats API.
The name of the bulk thread pool was renamed to "write" with "bulk" as a
fallback name. This change was made in 6.x for BWC reasons yet in 7.0.0
we are removing this fallback. This commit removes this fallback for the
write thread pool.
This commit renames the bulk thread pool to the write thread pool. This
is to better reflect the fact that the underlying thread pool is used to
execute any document write request (single-document index/delete/update
requests, and bulk requests).
With this change, we add support for fallback settings
thread_pool.bulk.* which will be supported until 7.0.0.
We also add a system property so that the display name of the thread
pool remains as "bulk" if needed to avoid breaking users.
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
}
}
}
```

* Add a CHANGELOG file for 7.x release notes.
* update file to include 6.x
* remove confusing comment and small edit to section title
* moving CHANGELOG file under docs directory, as it pertains to release notes.
Now that single-document indexing requests are executed on the bulk
thread pool the index thread pool is no longer needed. This commit
removes this thread pool from Elasticsearch.
As part of adding support for new API to the high-level REST client,
we added support for the `flat_settings` parameter to some of our
request classes. We added documentation that such flag is only ever
read by the high-level REST client, but the truth is that it doesn't
do anything given that settings are always parsed back into a `Settings`
object, no matter whether they are returned in a flat format or not.
It was a mistake to add support for this flag in the context of the
high-level REST client, hence this commit removes it.
We want to remove the index thread pool as it is no longer needed since
single-document indexing requests are executed as bulk requests
now. Analyze requests are also executed on the index thread pool though
and they need a thread pool to execute on. The bulk thread does not seem
like the right thread pool, let us keep that thread pool conceptually
for bulk requests and free for bulk requests. None of the existing
thread pools make sense for analyze requests either. The generic thread
pool would be a terrible choice since it has an unbounded queue and that
is a bad idea for user-facing APIs. This commit introduces a small by
default (size=1, queue_size=16) thread pool for analyze requests.
CRUD: Parsing changes for UpdateRequest (#29293)
Use `ObjectParser` to parse `UpdateRequest` so we reject unknown fields
and drop support for the `_fields` parameter because it was deprecated
in 5.x.
Control max size and count of warning headers
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_count" to control the maximum number of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_size" to control the maximum total size of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
With every warning header that exceeds these limits,
a message will be logged in the main ES log,
and any more warning headers for this response will be
ignored.
Historically, the bootstrap checks used 2048 as the minimum limit for
the maximum number of threads. This limit was guided by the fact that
the number of processors was artificially capped at 32. This limit was
removed in 6.0.0 and the minimum limit was raised to 4096 to accommodate
this. However, the docs were not updated and this commit addresses that
miss.
