This PR adds a section to the new 'run a search' reference that explains
the options for returning fields. Previously each option was only listed as a
separate request parameter and it was hard to know what was available.
Add `TRIM` function which combines the functionality of both
`LTRIM` and `RTRIM` by stripping both leading and trailing
whitespaces.

This commit highlights the ability for geo_point fields to be
used in geo_shape queries. It also adds an explicit geo_point
example in the geo_shape query documentation
Closes#56927.
Several APIs support options that can be specified as a query parameter or a
request body parameter.
Currently, this is documented using notes, which can get rather lengthy. This
replaces those multiple notes with a single note and a footnote.
Add basic support for `TOP X` as a synonym to LIMIT X which is used
by [MS-SQL server](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/queries/top-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15),
e.g.:
```
SELECT TOP 5 a, b, c FROM test
```
TOP in SQL server also supports the `PERCENTAGE` and `WITH TIES`
keywords which this implementation doesn't.
Don't allow usage of both TOP and LIMIT in the same query.

Generally we don't advocate for using `stored_fields`, and we're interested in
eventually removing the need for this parameter. So it's best to avoid using
stored fields in our docs examples when it's not actually necessary.
Individual changes:
* Avoid using 'stored_fields' in our docs.
* When defining script fields in top-hits, de-emphasize stored fields.
Reworks the `from / size` content to `Paginate search results`.
Moves those docs from the request body search API page (slated for
deletion) to the `Run a search` tutorial docs.
Also adds some notes to the `from` and `size` param docs.

The old description mentions a setting that we ended up not merging.
The periodic real-memory checks are automatic and do not require
the user to configure any setting.
**Goal**
Create a top-level search section. This will let us clean up our search
API reference docs, particularly content from [`Request body search`][0].
**Changes**
* Creates a top-level `Search your data` page. This page is designed to
house concept and tutorial docs related to search.
* Creates a `Run a search` page under `Search your data`. For now, This
contains a basic search tutorial. The goal is to add content from
[`Request body search`][0] to this in the future.
* Relocates `Long-running searches` and `Search across clusters` under
`Search your data`. Increments several headings in that content.
* Reorders the top-level TOC to move `Search your data` higher. Also
moves the `Query DSL`, `EQL`, and `SQL access` chapters immediately
after.

* Moves `Discovery and cluster formation` content from `Modules` to
`Set up Elasticsearch`.
* Combines `Adding and removing nodes` with `Adding nodes to your
cluster`. Adds related redirect.
* Removes and redirects the `Modules` page.
* Rewrites parts of `Discovery and cluster formation` to remove `module`
references and meta references to the section.
Relocates the "Remote Clusters" documentation from the "Modules" section to the "Set up Elasticsearch" section.
Supporting changes:
* Reorders the "Bootstrap checks for X-Pack" section to immediately follow the "Bootstrap checks"chapter.
* Removes an outdated X-Pack `idef` from the "Remote Clusters" intro.
* Make it more clear that you can use `month` or `1M`.
* Explain rounding rules
* Consistently use "time zone" instead of "timezone". It looks like both
are right but I see "time zone" much more. And the parameter in
elasticsearch is `time_zone` so we may as well line up.

This commit adds support for rules with multiple tokens on LHS, also
known as "contraction rules", into stemmer override token
filter. Contraction rules are handy into translating multiple
inflected words into the same root form. One side effect of this change is
that it brings stemmer override rules format closer to synonym rules
format so that it makes it easier to translate one into another.
This change also makes stemmer override rules parser more strict so
that it should catch more errors which were previously accepted.
Closes#56113
* [ML] adds new for_export flag to GET _ml/inference API (#57351)
Adds a new boolean flag, `for_export` to the `GET _ml/inference/<model_id>` API.
This flag is useful for moving models between clusters.
This commit adds the `expand_wildcards` parameter documentation to the
`_cat/indices` and `_cat/aliases` docs, as those APIs now support
`expand_wildcards`. Additionally, clarifies the `expand_wildcards` docs with
respect to hidden indices.
This adds a max_model_memory setting to forecast requests.
This setting can take a string value that is formatted according to byte sizes (i.e. "50mb", "150mb").
The default value is `20mb`.
There is a HARD limit at `500mb` which will throw an error if used.
If the limit is larger than 40% the anomaly job's configured model limit, the forecast limit is reduced to be strictly lower than that value. This reduction is logged and audited.

Backporting #56888 to 7.x branch.
Limit the creation of data streams only for namespaces that have a composable template with a data stream definition.
This way we ensure that mappings/settings have been specified and will be used at data stream creation and data stream rollover.
Also remove `timestamp_field` parameter from create data stream request and
let the create data stream api resolve the timestamp field
from the data stream definition snippet inside a composable template.

Changes:
* Rewrites description and adds a Lucene link
* Reformats the configurable parameters as a definition list
* Changes the `Theory` heading to `Using the min_hash token filter for

This saves memory when running numeric significant terms which are not

As discussed at https://elastic.slack.com/archives/C0D1XEXEZ/p1586939752242300 is it not possible to restore snapshots taken on newer versions into clusters running lower versions. For example, a snapshot created in a 7.6.0 cluster cannot be restored on a 7.5.0 cluster. This needs to be documented.
Makes following changes to better clarify docs for read-only URL
snapshot repositories:
* Adds an example snippet for registering a URL repository
* Rewrites the protocols paragraph
* Adds a note to explicitly point out that only URLs using the `ftp`,
`http`, `http`, and `jar` protocols do not need the `path.repo`
setting.
Fixes#16280
Previously, the restore API snippet included a `include_global_state` value of `true`.
Some users copy and paste the code example verbatim, updating only the index and
snapshot value names. Running the snippet could inadvertently wipe out a
cluster's current ILM policies, index templates, and ingest pipelines.
This change updates the snippet to use a `include_global_state` value of
`false`. It also adds a callout that better describes impacts of
using a `include_global_state` argument of `true`.

Move the JDBC functionality integration tests from `:sql:qa` to a separate
module `:sql:qa:jdbc`. This way the tests are isolated from the rest of the
integration tests and they only depend to the `:sql:jdbc` module, thus
removing the danger of accidentally pulling in some dependency that may
hide bugs.
Moreover this is a preparation for #56722, so that we can run those tests
between different JDBC and ES node versions and ensure forward
compatibility.
Move the rest of existing tests inside a new `:sql:qa:server` project, so that
the `:sql:qa` becomes the parent project for both and one can run all the integration
tests by using this parent project.

Throttling nightly cleanup as much as we do has been over cautious.
Night cleanup should be more lenient in its throttling. We still
keep the same batch size, but now the requests per second scale
with the number of data nodes. If we have more than 5 data nodes,
we don't throttle at all.
Additionally, the API now has `requests_per_second` and `timeout` set.
So users calling the API directly can set the throttling.
This commit also adds a new setting `xpack.ml.nightly_maintenance_requests_per_second`.
This will allow users to adjust throttling of the nightly maintenance.
* [Transform] add support for terms agg in transforms (#56696)
This adds support for `terms` and `rare_terms` aggs in transforms.
The default behavior is that the results are collapsed in the following manner:
`<AGG_NAME>.<BUCKET_NAME>.<SUBAGGS...>...`
Or if no sub aggs exist
`<AGG_NAME>.<BUCKET_NAME>.<_doc_count>`
The mapping is also defined as `flattened` by default. This is to avoid field explosion while still providing (limited) search and aggregation capabilities.
This aggregation will perform normalizations of metrics
for a given series of data in the form of bucket values.
The aggregations supports the following normalizations
- rescale 0-1
- rescale 0-100
- percentage of sum
- mean normalization
- z-score normalization
- softmax normalization
To specify which normalization is to be used, it can be specified
in the normalize agg's `normalizer` field.
For example:
```
{
"normalize": {
"buckets_path": <>,
"normalizer": "percent"
}
}
```

This adds a few things to the `breakdown` of the profiler:
* `histogram` aggregations now contain `total_buckets` which is the
count of buckets that they collected. This could be useful when
debugging a histogram inside of another bucketing agg that is fairly
selective.
* All bucketing aggs that can delay their sub-aggregations will now add
a list of delayed sub-aggregations. This is useful because we
sometimes have fairly involved logic around which sub-aggregations get
delayed and this will save you from having to guess.
* Aggregtations wrapped in the `MultiBucketAggregatorWrapper` can't
accurately add anything to the breakdown. Instead they the wrapper
adds a marker entry `"multi_bucket_aggregator_wrapper": true` so we
can be quickly pick out such aggregations when debugging.
It also fixes a bug where `_count` breakdown entries were contributing
to the overall `time_in_nanos`. They didn't add a large amount of time
so it is unlikely that this caused a big problem, but I was there.
To support the arbitrary breakdown data this reworks the profiler so
that the `breakdown` can contain any data that is supported by
`StreamOutput#writeGenericValue(Object)` and
`XContentBuilder#value(Object)`.
This optional parameter can only be a string. To test out a transient custom
analysis chain, users are expected to use the 'tokenizer', 'filter', and
'char_filter' parameters.
Today we report some statistics in terms of Lucene-level documents, which
differ from Elasticsearch-level documents in a number of ways and include
things like document tombstones which users cannot directly observe. This
commit clarifies the internal nature of these statistics.

Notes that you cannot use EQL in ES to search the values of `nested`
fields or their sub-fields. However, indices containing `nested` field
mappings are otherwise supported.
This is a backport of #55884 with redirects removed.
Changes:
* Adds an abbreviated title for the search API page.
* Removes the following invalid query parameters:
* `analyzer`
* `analyze_wildcard`
* `default_operator`
* `df`
* `lenient`
* `suggest_mode`
* `suggest_size`
* Replaces the URI search page's query parameter docs with a xref
* Updates the headings of several examples
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.
Our upgrade docs don't mention the upgrade assistant, which can be
helpful when migrating across major versions. The docs also don't
mention deprecation logs, which can highlight other functionality that

This adds a related tip admonition to the upgrade docs.
This PR implements the following changes to make ML model snapshot
retention more flexible in advance of adding a UI for the feature in
an upcoming release.
- The default for `model_snapshot_retention_days` for new jobs is now
10 instead of 1
- There is a new job setting, `daily_model_snapshot_retention_after_days`,
that defaults to 1 for new jobs and `model_snapshot_retention_days`
for pre-7.8 jobs
- For days that are older than `model_snapshot_retention_days`, all
model snapshots are deleted as before
- For days that are in between `daily_model_snapshot_retention_after_days`
and `model_snapshot_retention_days` all but the first model snapshot
for that day are deleted
- The `retain` setting of model snapshots is still respected to allow
selected model snapshots to be retained indefinitely
Backport of #56125
Per #54411, we plan to handle case sensitivity via a parameter for the
EQL search API (with the possible exception of the `between` function).
This removes references and examples related to case sensitivity from
the EQL functions docs.
Previously, when the timezone was missing from the datetime string
and the pattern, UTC was used, instead of the session defined timezone.
Moreover, if a timezone was included in the datetime string and the
pattern then this timezone was used. To have a consistent behaviour
the resulting datetime will always be converted to the session defined
timezone, e.g.:
```
SELECT DATETIME_PARSE('2020-05-04 10:20:30.123 +02:00', 'HH:mm:ss dd/MM/uuuu VV') AS datetime;
```
with `time_zone` set to `-03:00` will result in
```
2020-05-04T05:20:40.123-03:00
```

* Delay warning about missing x-pack (#54265)
Currently, when monitoring is enabled in a freshly-installed cluster,
the non-master nodes log a warning message indicating that master may
not have x-pack installed. The message is often printed even when the
master does have x-pack installed but takes some time to setup the local
exporter for monitoring. This commit adds the local exporter setting
`wait_master.timeout` which defaults to 30 seconds. The setting
configures the time that the non-master nodes should wait for master to
setup monitoring. After the time elapses, they log a message to the user
about possible missing x-pack installation on master.
The logging of this warning was moved from `resolveBulk()` to
`openBulk()` since `resolveBulk()` is called only on cluster updates and
the message might not be logged until a new cluster update occurs.

* Make xpack.monitoring.enabled setting a no-op

out for turbulence and failures
* Docs for making deprecated setting a no-op
I see occasional confusion about the explanations emitted by the same-shard
allocation decider, particularly amongst new users setting up a single-node
cluster and trying to determine why their cluster has `yellow` health. For
example:
the shard cannot be allocated to the same node on which a copy of the shard
already exists
This is technically correct but it's quite a complicated sentence. Also, by
starting with "the shard cannot be allocated" it makes it sound like this is
the problem, whereas in fact this message is a good thing and users should
typically focus their attention elsewhere.
This commit simplifies the wording of these messages and makes them sound more
positive, for example:
a copy of this shard is already allocated to this node

This has no practical impact on users since frozen indices are the only
throttled indices today. However this has an impact on upcoming features
that would use search throttling.
Filtering out throttled indices made sense a couple years ago, but as
we're now improving support for slow requests with `_async_search` and
exploring ways to reduce storage costs, this feature has most likely
become a trap, that we'd like to not have with upcoming features that
would use search throttling.
