The current response format is:
```
{
"pattern1": {
...
},
"pattern2": {
...
}
}
```
The new format is:
```
{
"patterns": [
{
"name": "pattern1",
"pattern": {
...
}
},
{
"name": "pattern2",
"pattern": {
...
}
}
]
}
```
This format is more structured and more friendly for parsing and generating specs.
This is a breaking change, but it is better to do this now while ccr
is still a beta feature than later.
Follow up from #36049
* Changed the auto follow stats to also include follow stats.
* Renamed the auto follow stats api to stats api and changed its url path
from `/_ccr/auto_follow/stats` `/_ccr/stats`.
* Removed `/_ccr/stats` url path for the follow stats api, which makes
the index parameter a required parameter.
* Fixed docs.
This commit is our first introduction to cross-cluster replication
docs. In this commit, we introduce the cross-cluster replication API
docs. We also add skelton docs for additional content that will be added
in a series of follow-up commits.
