In order to be more consistent with what they do, the query cache has been
renamed to request cache and the filter cache has been renamed to query
cache.
A known issue is that package/logger names do no longer match settings names,
please speak up if you think this is an issue.
Here are the settings for which I kept backward compatibility. Note that they
are a bit different from what was discussed on #11569 but putting `cache` before
the name of what is cached has the benefit of making these settings consistent
with the fielddata cache whose size is configured by
`indices.fielddata.cache.size`:
* index.cache.query.enable -> index.requests.cache.enable
* indices.cache.query.size -> indices.requests.cache.size
* indices.cache.filter.size -> indices.queries.cache.size
Close#11569
This change unifies the way scripts and templates are specified for all instances in the codebase. It builds on the Script class added previously and adds request building and parsing support as well as the ability to transfer script objects between nodes. It also adds a Template class which aims to provide the same functionality for template APIs
Closes#11091
The default `false` for `require_field_match` is a bit odd and confusing for users, given that field names get ignored by default and every field gets highlighted if it contains terms extracted out of the query, regardless of which fields were queries. Changed the default to `true`, it can always be changed per request.
Closes#10627Closes#11067
Our own fork of the lucene PostingsHighlighter is not easy to maintain and doesn't give us any added value at this point. In particular, it was introduced to support the require_field_match option and discrete per value highlighting, used in case one wants to highlight the whole content of a field, but get back one snippet per value. These two features won't
make it into lucene as they slow things down and shouldn't have been supported from day one on our end probably.
One other customization we had was support for a wider range of queries via custom rewrite etc. (yet another way to slow
things down), which got added to lucene and works much much better than what we used to do (instead of or rewrite, term
s are pulled out of the automata for multi term queries).
Removing our fork means the following in terms of features:
- dropped support for require_field_match: the postings highlighter will only highlight fields that were queried
- some custom es queries won't be supported anymore, meaning they won't be highlighted. The only one I found up until now is the phrase_prefix. Postings highlighter rewrites against an empty reader to avoid slow operations (like the ones that we were performing with the fork that we are removing here), thus the prefix will not be expanded to any term. What the postings highlighter does instead is pulling the automata out of multi term queries, but this is not supported at the moment with our MultiPhrasePrefixQuery.

Previously, collate feature would be executed on all shards of an index using the client,
this leads to a deadlock when concurrent collate requests are run from the _search API,
due to the fact that both the external request and internal collate requests use the
same search threadpool.
As phrase suggestions are generated from the terms of the local shard, in most cases the
generated suggestion, which does not yield a hit for the collate query on the local shard
would not yield a hit for collate query on non-local shards.
Instead of using the client for collating suggestions, collate query is executed against
the ContextIndexSearcher. This PR removes the ability to specify a preference for a collate
query, as the collate query is only run on the local shard.

The field stats api returns field level statistics such as lowest, highest values and number of documents that have at least one value for a field.
An api like this can be useful to explore a data set you don't know much about. For example you can figure at with the lowest and highest response times are, so that you can create a histogram or range aggregation with sane settings.
This api doesn't run a search to figure this statistics out, but rather use the Lucene index look these statics up (using Terms class in Lucene). So finding out these stats for fields is cheap and quick.
The min/max values are based on the type of the field. So for a numeric field min/max are numbers and date field the min/max date and other fields the min/max are term based.
Closes#10523
This commit adds a `rewrite` parameter to the validate API in order to shown
how the given query is re-written into primitive queries. For example, an MLT
query is re-written into a disjunction of the selected terms. Other use cases
include `fuzzy`, `common_terms`, or `match` query especially with a
`cutoff_frequency` parameter. Note that the explanation is only given for a
single randomly chosen shard only, so the output may vary from one shard to
another.

Today we check every regular expression eagerly against every possible term.
This can be very slow if you have lots of unique terms, and even the bottleneck
if your query is selective.
This commit switches to Lucene regular expressions instead of Java (not exactly
the same syntax yet most existing regular expressions should keep working) and
uses the same logic as RegExpQuery to intersect the regular expression with the
terms dictionary. I wrote a quick benchmark (in the PR) to make sure it made
things faster and the same request that took 750ms on master now takes 74ms with
this change.

This commit brings the benefits of the `count` search type to search requests

- a single round-trip to shards (no fetch phase)
- ability to use the query cache
Since `count` now provides no benefits over `query_then_fetch`, it has been
deprecated.

Allow to on/off scripting based on their source (where they get loaded from), the operation that executes them and their language.
The settings cover the following combinations:
- mode: on, off, sandbox
- source: indexed, dynamic, file
- engine: groovy, expressions, mustache, etc
- operation: update, search, aggs, mapping
The following settings are supported for every engine:
script.engine.groovy.indexed.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.indexed.mapping: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.dynamic.mapping: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.update: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.search: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.engine.groovy.file.mapping: sandbox/on/off
For ease of use, the following more generic settings are supported too:
script.indexed: sandbox/on/off
script.dynamic: sandbox/on/off
script.file: sandbox/on/off
script.update: sandbox/on/off
script.search: sandbox/on/off
script.aggs: sandbox/on/off
script.mapping: sandbox/on/off
These will be used to calculate the more specific settings, using the stricter setting of each combination. Operation based settings have precedence over conflicting source based ones.
Note that the `mustache` engine is affected by generic settings applied to any language, while native scripts aren't as they are static by definition.
Also, the previous `script.disable_dynamic` setting can now be deprecated.

The behaviour is better in the case someone has multiple levels of nested object fields defined in the mapping and like to define a single inner_hits definition that is two or more levels deep.
If someone wants inner hits on a nested field that is 2 levels deep the following would need to be defined:
```
{
...
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level1" : {
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level2" : {
"query" : { .... }
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
With this change the above can be defined as:
```

"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level1.level2" : {
"query" : { .... }
}
}
}
}
```

Removed the existing `pre_zone` and `post_zone` option in `date_histogram` in favor of
the simpler `time_zone` option. Previously, specifying different values for these could

preferred time zone, but after rounding converting the bucket key values back to UTC.

Add offset option to 'date_histogram' replacing and simplifying the previous 'pre_offset' and 'post_offset' options.
This change is part of a larger clean up task for `date_histogram` from issue #9062.
We now have a very useful annotation to mark features or parameters as

- per-bucket doc count errors in the terms agg (released in 1.4)
I also tagged with this annotation settings which should either be not needed
(like the ability to evict entries from the filter cache based on time) or that
are too deep into the way that Elasticsearch works like the Directory

This commit adds the ability to associate a bit of state with each
individual aggregation.
The aggregation response can be hard to stitch back together without
having a reference to the aggregation request. In many cases this is not
available, many json serializer frameworks cache types globally or have a
static deserialisation override mechanism. In these cases making the
original request available, if at all possible, would be a hack.
The old facets returned `_type` which was just enough metadata to know
what the originating facet type in the request was.
This PR takes `_type` one step further by introducing ANY arbitrary meta
data. This could be further <strike>ab</strike>used for instance by
generic/automated aggregations that include UI state (color information,
thresholds, user input states, etc) per aggregation.
This commit adds a new field to the response of the terms aggregation called
`sum_other_doc_count` which is equal to the sum of the doc counts of the buckets
that did not make it to the list of top buckets. It is typically useful to have
a sector called eg. `other` when using terms aggregations to build pie charts.
Example query and response:
```json
GET test/_search?search_type=count
{
"aggs": {
"colors": {
"terms": {
"field": "color",
"size": 3
}
}

Implements a new Exists API allowing users to do fast exists check on any matched documents for a given query.

This is only applicable when the order is set to _count. The upper bound of the error in the doc count is calculated by summing the doc count of the last term on each shard which did not return the term. The implementation calculates the error by summing the doc count for the last term on each shard for which the term IS returned and then subtracts this value from the sum of the doc counts for the last term from ALL shards.

The GeoBounds Aggregation is a new single bucket aggregation which outputs the coordinates of a bounding box containing all the points from all the documents passed to the aggregation as well as the doc count. Geobound Aggregation also use a wrap_logitude parameter which specifies whether the resulting bounding box is permitted to overlap the international date line. This option defaults to true.
This aggregation introduces the idea of MetricsAggregation which do not return double values and cannot be used for sorting. The existing MetricsAggregation has been renamed to NumericMetricsAggregation and is a subclass of MetricsAggregation.

Significant terms internally maintain a priority queue per shard with a size potentially
lower than the number of terms. This queue uses the score as criterion to determine if
a bucket is kept or not. If many terms with low subsetDF score very high
but the `min_doc_count` is set high, this might result in no terms being
returned because the pq is filled with low frequent terms which are all sorted
out in the end.
This can be avoided by increasing the `shard_size` parameter to a higher value.
However, it is not immediately clear to which value this parameter must be set
because we can not know how many terms with low frequency are scored higher that
the high frequent terms that we are actually interested in.
On the other hand, if there is no routing of docs to shards involved, we can maybe
assume that the documents of classes and also the terms therein are distributed evenly
across shards. In that case it might be easier to not add documents to the pq that have
subsetDF <= `shard_min_doc_count` which can be set to something like
`min_doc_count`/number of shards because we would assume that even when summing up
the subsetDF across shards `min_doc_count` will not be reached.

The default precision was way too exact and could lead people to

Closes#5621
By default the date_/histogram returns all the buckets within the range of the data itself, that is, the documents with the smallest values (on which with histogram) will determine the min bucket (the bucket with the smallest key) and the documents with the highest values will determine the max bucket (the bucket with the highest key). Often, when when requesting empty buckets (min_doc_count : 0), this causes a confusion, specifically, when the data is also filtered.
To understand why, let's look at an example:
Lets say the you're filtering your request to get all docs from the last month, and in the date_histogram aggs you'd like to slice the data per day. You also specify min_doc_count:0 so that you'd still get empty buckets for those days to which no document belongs. By default, if the first document that fall in this last month also happen to fall on the first day of the **second week** of the month, the date_histogram will **not** return empty buckets for all those days prior to that second week. The reason for that is that by default the histogram aggregations only start building buckets when they encounter documents (hence, missing on all the days of the first week in our example).
With extended_bounds, you now can "force" the histogram aggregations to start building buckets on a specific min values and also keep on building buckets up to a max value (even if there are no documents anymore). Using extended_bounds only makes sense when min_doc_count is 0 (the empty buckets will never be returned if the min_doc_count is greater than 0).
Note that (as the name suggest) extended_bounds is **not** filtering buckets. Meaning, if the min bounds is higher than the values extracted from the documents, the documents will still dictate what the min bucket will be (and the same goes to the extended_bounds.max and the max bucket). For filtering buckets, one should nest the histogram agg under a range filter agg with the appropriate min/max.
Closes#5224

This aggregation computes unique term counts using the hyperloglog++ algorithm
which uses linear counting to estimate low cardinalities and hyperloglog on
higher cardinalities.
Since this algorithm works on hashes, it is useful for high-cardinality fields
to store the hash of values directly in the index, which is the purpose of
the new `murmur3` field type. This is less necessary on low-cardinality
string fields because the aggregator is smart enough to only compute the hash
once per unique value per segment thanks to ordinals, or on numeric fields
since hashing them is very fast.

This commit extends the `CompletionSuggester` by context
informations. In example such a context informations can
be a simple string representing a category reducing the

- a Category Context
- a Geo Context
All the mapping for these context informations are
specified within a context field in the completion
field that should use this kind of information.
