The notion of "quality" is an overloaded term in the search ranking evaluation
context. Its usually used to decribe certain levels of "good" vs. "bad" of a
seach result with respect to the users information need. We currently report the
result of the ranking evaluation as `quality_level` which is a bit missleading.
This changes the response parameter name to `metric_score` which fits better.
Currently the ranking evaluation response contains a 'unknown_docs' section
for each search use case in the evaluation set. It contains document ids for
results in the search hits that currently don't have a quality rating.
This change renames it to `unrated_docs`, which better reflects its purpose.
Today it is unclear what guarantees are offered by the search preference
feature, and we claim a guarantee that is stronger than what we really offer:
> A custom value will be used to guarantee that the same shards will be used
> for the same custom value.
This commit clarifies this documentation.
Forward-port of #32098 to `master`.
Adds support for `ignore_unmapped` parameter in geo distance sorting,
which is functionally equivalent to specifying an `unmapped_type` in
the field sort.
Closes#28152
This change deprecates completion queries and documents without context that target a
context enabled completion field. Querying without context degrades the search
performance considerably (even when the number of indexed contexts is low).
This commit targets master but the deprecation will take place in 6.x and the functionality
will be removed in 7 in a follow up.
Closes#29222
This commit adds the ability to configure how a docvalue field should be
formatted, so that it would be possible eg. to return a date field
formatted as the number of milliseconds since Epoch.
Closes#27740
Currently the first snippet in the documentation test in script-fields.asciidoc
isn't executed, although it has the CONSOLE annotation. Adding a test setup
annotation to it seems to fix the problem.
This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
* 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
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
The rank_eval documentation was missing an explanation of the parameter
`k` that controls the number of top hits that are used in the ranking evaluation.
Closes#29205
Increase the default limit of `index.highlight.max_analyzed_offset` to 1M instead of previous 10K.
Enhance an error message when offset increased to include field name, index name and doc_id.

* Search option terminate_after does not handle post_filters and aggregations correctly
This change fixes the handling of the `terminate_after` option when post_filters (or min_score) are used.
`post_filter` should be applied before `terminate_after` in order to terminate the query when enough document are accepted
by the post_filters.
This commit also changes the type of exception thrown by `terminate_after` in order to ensure that multi collectors (aggregations)
do not try to continue the collection when enough documents have been collected.
Closes#28411
Adds allow_partial_search_results flag to search requests with default setting = true.
When false, will error if search either timeouts, has partial errors or has missing shards rather
than returning partial search results. A cluster-level setting provides a default for search requests with no flag.
Closes#27435
This change adds support for the new ranking evaluation API to the High Level Rest Client.
This mostly means adding support for parsing the various response objects back from the
REST representation. It includes one change to the response syntax where previously we didn't
print the type of the metric details section but we now need it to pick the right parser to
parse this section back.
Closes#28198
* Limit the analyzed text for highlighting
- Introduce index level settings to control the max number of character
to be analyzed for highlighting
- Throw an error if analysis is required on a larger text
Closes#27517
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.
