The "lookupUser" method on a realm facilitates the "run-as" and
"authorization_realms" features.
This commit allows a realm to be used for "lookup only", in which
case the "authenticate" method (and associated token methods) are
disabled.
It does this through the introduction of a new
"authentication.enabled" setting, which defaults to true.
Building automatons can be costly. For the most part we cache things
that use automatons so the cost is limited.
However:
- We don't (currently) do that everywhere (e.g. we don't cache role
mappings)
- It is sometimes necessary to clear some of those caches which can
cause significant CPU overhead and processing delays.
This commit introduces a new cache in the Automatons class to avoid
unnecesarily recomputing automatons.
This changes the delete job API by adding
the choice to delete a job asynchronously.
The commit adds a `wait_for_completion` parameter
to the delete job request. When set to `false`,
the action returns immediately and the response
contains the task id.
This also changes the handling of subsequent
delete requests for a job that is already being
deleted. It now uses the task framework to check
if the job is being deleted instead of the cluster
state. This is a beneficial for it is going to also
be working once the job configs are moved out of the
cluster state and into an index. Also, force delete
requests that are waiting for the job to be deleted
will not proceed with the deletion if the first task
fails. This will prevent overloading the cluster. Instead,
the failure is communicated better via notifications
so that the user may retry.
Finally, this makes the `deleting` property of the job
visible (also it was renamed from `deleted`). This allows
a client to render a deleting job differently.
Closes#32836
The `status` part of the tasks API reflects the internal status of a
running task. In general, we do not make backwards breaking changes to
the `status` but because it is internal we reserve the right to do so. I
suspect we will very rarely excercise that right but it is important
that we have it so we're not boxed into any particular implementation
for a request.
In some sense this is policy making by documentation change. In another
it is clarification of the way we've always thought of this field.
I also reflect the documentation change into the Javadoc in a few
places. There I acknowledge Kibana's "special relationship" with
Elasticsearch. Kibana parses `_reindex`'s `status` field and, because
we're friends with those folks, we should talk to them before we make
backwards breaking changes to it. We *want* to be friends with everyone
but there is only so much time in the day and we don't *want* to make
backwards breaking fields to `status` at all anyway. So we hope that
breaking changes documentation should be enough for other folks.
Relates to #34245.
We generate tests from our documentation, including assertions about the
responses returned by a particular API. But sometimes we *can't* assert
that the response is correct because of some defficiency in our tooling.
Previously we marked the response `// NOTCONSOLE` to skip it, but this
is kind of odd because `// NOTCONSOLE` is really to mark snippets that
are json but aren't requests or responses. This introduces a new
construct to skip response assertions:
```
// TESTRESPONSE[skip:reason we skipped this]
```
This enables Elasticsearch to use the JVM-wide configured
PKCS#11 token as a keystore or a truststore for its TLS configuration.
The JVM is assumed to be configured accordingly with the appropriate
Security Provider implementation that supports PKCS#11 tokens.
For the PKCS#11 token to be used as a keystore or a truststore for an
SSLConfiguration, the .keystore.type or .truststore.type must be
explicitly set to pkcs11 in the configuration.
The fact that the PKCS#11 token configuration is JVM wide implies that
there is only one available keystore and truststore that can be used by TLS
configurations in Elasticsearch.
The PIN for the PKCS#11 token can be set as a truststore parameter in
Elasticsearch or as a JVM parameter ( -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword).
The basic goal of enabling PKCS#11 token support is to allow PKCS#11-NSS in
FIPS mode to be used as a FIPS 140-2 enabled Security Provider.

* Change null check order in script builder for aggregated metrics; correct test scripts in IT
* Add breaking change details to PR
As user-defined cluster metadata is accessible to anyone with access to
get the cluster settings, stored in the logs, and likely to be tracked
by monitoring solutions, it is useful to clarify in the documentation
that it should not be used to store secret information.
Previously, parsing an arithmetic expression with `*` and no spaces,
e.g.: `2*i` threw a parsing exception as the grammar rule for
tableIdentifier was clashing with the rule for arithmetic operator `*`.
This issue comes already in the lexer and the left part of the
expression (in our example `2*`) was recognised as a
TABLE_IDENTIFIER token.
The solution adopted is to allow the `*` wildcard in the table name
only if it's surrounded with double quotes, e.g.: `"my*index"`

This change fixes a potential deadlock problem in the unit
test introduced in #34117.
It also removes a piece of debug code and corrects a docs
formatting problem that were both added in that same PR.
#32281 adds elasticsearch-shard to provide bwc version of elasticsearch-translog for 6.x; have to remove elasticsearch-translog for 7.0

This can be used to restrict the amount of CPU a single
structure finder request can use.
The timeout is not implemented precisely, so requests
may run for slightly longer than the timeout before
aborting.
The default is 25 seconds, which is a little below
Kibana's default timeout of 30 seconds for calls to
Elasticsearch APIs.
Previously the timestamp_formats field in the response
from the find_file_structure endpoint contained Joda
timestamp formats. This change makes that clear by
renaming the field to joda_timestamp_formats, and also
adds a java_timestamp_formats field containing the
equivalent Java time format strings.
With this commit we remove a leftover in the docs about the `format`
field being updatable. This is not true since we removed support for
updates in #25285.

* Changed the format of the String functions documentation page.
* Adopted the same format for Math functions, but completely changed the examples.
* Added missing documentation for Math functions.
Previously numeric values in the field_stats created by the
find_file_structure endpoint were always output with a
decimal point. This looked unfriendly and unnatural for
fields that clearly store integer values. This change
converts integer values to type Integer before output in
the file structure field stats.
* Added TRUNCATE function, modified ROUND to accept two parameters instead of one. Made the second parameter optional for both functions.
* Added documentation for both functions.
Changes the default of the `node.name` setting to the hostname of the
machine on which Elasticsearch is running. Previously it was the first 8
characters of the node id. This had the advantage of producing a unique
name even when the node name isn't configured but the disadvantage of
being unrecognizable and not being available until fairly late in the
startup process. Of particular interest is that it isn't available until
after logging is configured. This forces us to use a volatile read
whenever we add the node name to the log.
Using the hostname is available immediately on startup and is generally
recognizable but has the disadvantage of not being unique when run on
machines that don't set their hostname or when multiple elasticsearch
processes are run on the same host. I believe that, taken together, it
is better to default to the hostname.
1. Running multiple copies of Elasticsearch on the same node is a fairly
advanced feature. We do it all the as part of the elasticsearch build
for testing but we make sure to set the node name then.
2. That the node.name defaults to some flavor of "localhost" on an
unconfigured box feels like it isn't going to come up too much in
production. I expect most production deployments to at least set the
hostname.
As a bonus, production deployments need no longer set the node name in
most cases. At least in my experience most folks set it to the hostname
anyway.
We currently special-case SynonymFilterFactory and SynonymGraphFilterFactory, which need to
know their predecessors in the analysis chain in order to correctly analyze their synonym lists. This
special-casing doesn't work with Referring filter factories, such as the Multiplexer or Conditional
filters. We also have a number of filters (eg the Multiplexer) that will break synonyms when they
appear before them in a chain, because they produce multiple tokens at the same position.
This commit adds two methods to the TokenFilterFactory interface.
* `getChainAwareTokenFilterFactory()` allows a filter factory to rewrite itself against its preceding
filter chain, or to resolve references to other filters. It replaces `ReferringFilterFactory` and
`CustomAnalyzerProvider.checkAndApplySynonymFilter`, and by default returns `this`.
* `getSynonymFilter()` defines whether or not a filter should be applied when building a synonym
list `Analyzer`. By default it returns `true`.
Fixes#33609
It is not obvious that a filesystem-level backup may capture an inconsistent
set of files that may fail on restore, or (worse) succeed having silently
discarded some data. This change spells the out, and reorganises the first page
or so of the snapshot/restore docs to make this warning fit more nicely.
The original statement "Runs a match_phrase query on each field and combines the _score from each field." for the phrase type is a but misleading. The phrase type behaves like the best_fields type and does not combine the scores of each fields.
In #33241 we moved the file-based discovery functionality to core
Elasticsearch, but preserved the `discovery-file` plugin, and support for the
existing location of the `unicast_hosts.txt` file, for BWC reasons. This commit
completes the removal of this plugin.
