This PR adds deprecation warnings when accessing System Indices via the REST layer. At this time, these warnings are only enabled for Snapshot builds by default, to allow projects external to Elasticsearch additional time to adjust their access patterns.
Deprecation warnings will be triggered by all REST requests which access registered System Indices, except for purpose-specific APIs which access System Indices as an implementation detail a few specific APIs which will continue to allow access to system indices by default:
- `GET _cluster/health`
- `GET {index}/_recovery`
- `GET _cluster/allocation/explain`
- `GET _cluster/state`
- `POST _cluster/reroute`
- `GET {index}/_stats`
- `GET {index}/_segments`
- `GET {index}/_shard_stores`
- `GET _cat/[indices,aliases,health,recovery,shards,segments]`
Deprecation warnings for accessing system indices take the form:
```
this request accesses system indices: [.some_system_index], but in a future major version, direct access to system indices will be prevented by default
```
We want Logstash indices to be system indices, but the logstash
service will still need to be able to manage its indices. This PR
adds special system index APIs to the logstash plugin so that
logstash can manage its pipelines without direct access to the
underlying indices.
* Add logstash module with dedicated logstash APIs
* merge with x-pack plugin
* add system index access allowance
* Break out serialization tests into distinct classes
* Log failures for partial multiget failure
* Move LogstashSystemIndexIT to javaRestTest task

This commit removes `integTest` task from all es-plugins.
Most relevant projects have been converted to use yamlRestTest, javaRestTest,
or internalClusterTest in prior PRs.
A few projects needed to be adjusted to allow complete removal of this task
* x-pack/plugin - converted to use yamlRestTest and javaRestTest
* plugins/repository-hdfs - kept the integTest task, but use `rest-test` plugin to define the task
* qa/die-with-dignity - convert to javaRestTest
* x-pack/qa/security-example-spi-extension - convert to javaRestTest
* multiple projects - remove the integTest.enabled = false (yay!)

This commit does three things:
* Removes all Copyright/license headers for the build.gradle files under x-pack. (implicit Apache license)
* Removes evaluationDependsOn(xpackModule('core')) from build.gradle files under x-pack
* Removes a place holder test in favor of disabling the test task (in the async plugin)
* Remove usage of deprecated testCompile configuration
* Replace testCompile usage by testImplementation
* Make testImplementation non transitive by default (as we did for testCompile)
* Update CONTRIBUTING about using testImplementation for test dependencies
* Fail on testCompile configuration usage
The following settings are now no-ops:
* xpack.flattened.enabled
* xpack.logstash.enabled
* xpack.rollup.enabled
* xpack.slm.enabled
* xpack.sql.enabled
* xpack.transform.enabled
* xpack.vectors.enabled
Since these settings no longer need to be checked, we can remove settings
parameters from a number of constructors and methods, and do so in this
commit.
We also update documentation to remove references to these settings.
This commit converts the remaining isXXXAllowed methods to instead of
use isAllowed with a Feature value. There are a couple other methods
that are static, as well as some licensed features that check the
license directly, but those will be dealt with in other followups.
This change reintroduces the system index APIs for Kibana without the
changes made for marking what system indices could be accessed using
these APIs. In essence, this is a partial revert of #53912. The changes
for marking what system indices should be allowed access will be
handled in a separate change.
The APIs introduced here are wrapped versions of the existing REST
endpoints. A new setting is also introduced since the Kibana system
indices' names are allowed to be changed by a user in case multiple
instances of Kibana use the same instance of Elasticsearch.

This is a simple naming change PR, to fix the fact that "metadata" is a
single English word, and for too long we have not followed general
naming conventions for it. We are also not consistent about it, for
example, METADATA instead of META_DATA if we were trying to be
consistent with MetaData (although METADATA is correct when considered
in the context of "metadata"). This was a simple find and replace across
the code base, only taking a few minutes to fix this naming issue
forever.
The setting, `xpack.logstash.enabled`, exists to enable or disable the
logstash extensions found within x-pack. In practice, this setting had
no effect on the functionality of the extension. Given this, the
setting is now deprecated in preparation for removal.
Backport of #53367
This commit introduces a module for Kibana that exposes REST APIs that
will be used by Kibana for access to its system indices. These APIs are wrapped
versions of the existing REST endpoints. A new setting is also introduced since
the Kibana system indices' names are allowed to be changed by a user in case
multiple instances of Kibana use the same instance of Elasticsearch.
Additionally, the ThreadContext has been extended to indicate that the use of
system indices may be allowed in a request. This will be built upon in the future
for the protection of system indices.
Backport of #52385
ML mappings and index templates have so far been created
programmatically. While this had its merits due to static typing,
there is consensus it would be clear to maintain those in json files.
In addition, we are going to adding ILM policies to these indices
and the component for a plugin to register ILM policies is
`IndexTemplateRegistry`. It expects the templates to be in resource
json files.
For the above reasons this commit refactors ML mappings and index
templates into json resource files that are registered via
`MlIndexTemplateRegistry`.
Backport of #51765
This commit deprecates the creation of dot-prefixed index names (e.g.
.watches) unless they are either 1) a hidden index, or 2) registered by
a plugin that extends SystemIndexPlugin. This is the first step
towards more thorough protections for system indices.
This commit also modifies several plugins which use dot-prefixed indices
to register indices they own as system indices, and adds a plugin to
register .tasks as a system index.
Backport of #48849. Update `.editorconfig` to make the Java settings the
default for all files, and then apply a 2-space indent to all `*.gradle`
files. Then reformat all the files.
The description field of xpack featuresets is optionally part of the
xpack info api, when using the verbose flag. However, this information
is unnecessary, as it is better left for documentation (and the existing
descriptions describe anything meaningful). This commit removes the
description field from feature sets.
The run task is supposed to run elasticsearch with the given plugin or
module. However, for modules, this is most realistic if using the full
distribution. This commit changes the run setup to use the default or
oss as appropriate.
This commit changes the type from "doc" to "_doc" for the
.logstash-management template. Since this is an internally
managed template it does not always go through the REST
layer for it's internal representation. The internal
representation requires the default "_doc" type, which for
external templates is added in the REST layer.
Related #38637
The logstash management template was named in such a way as to confuse
users, who misunderstood it to be a template for indices created by
logstash. It is now renamed to more clearly communicate its purpose and
match the format of the other templates for system indices.
This reworks how we configure the `shadow` plugin in the build. The major
change is that we no longer bundle dependencies in the `compile` configuration,
instead we bundle dependencies in the new `bundle` configuration. This feels
more right because it is a little more "opt in" rather than "opt out" and the
name of the `bundle` configuration is a little more obvious.
As an neat side effect of this, the `runtimeElements` configuration used when
one project depends on another now contains exactly the dependencies needed
to run the project so you no longer need to reference projects that use the
shadow plugin like this:
```
testCompile project(path: ':client:rest-high-level', configuration: 'shadow')
```
You can instead use the much more normal:
```
testCompile "org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:${version}"
```
This bundles the x-pack:protocol project into the x-pack:plugin:core
project because we'd like folks to consider it an implementation detail
of our build rather than a separate artifact to be managed and depended
on. It is now bundled into both x-pack:plugin:core and
client:rest-high-level. To make this work I had to fix a few things.
Firstly, I had to make PluginBuildPlugin work with the shadow plugin.
In that case we have to bundle only the `shadow` dependencies and the
shadow jar.
Secondly, every reference to x-pack:plugin:core has to use the `shadow`
configuration. Without that the reference is missing all of the
un-shadowed dependencies. I tried to make it so that applying the shadow
plugin automatically redefines the `default` configuration to mirror the
`shadow` configuration which would allow us to use bare project references
to the x-pack:plugin:core project but I couldn't make it work. It'd *look*
like it works but then fail for transitive dependencies anyway. I think
it is still a good thing to do but I don't have the willpower to do it
now.
Finally, I had to fix an issue where Eclipse and IntelliJ didn't properly
reference shadowed transitive dependencies. Neither IDE supports shadowing
natively so they have to reference the shadowed projects. We fix this by
detecting `shadow` dependencies when in "Intellij mode" or "Eclipse mode"
and adding `runtime` dependencies to the same target. This convinces
IntelliJ and Eclipse to play nice.
