Relates to #47007 . the `gradle-ospackage-plugin` plugin doesn't
properly support symlink on windows.
This PR changes the way we configure tasks to prevent building these
packages as part of a windows check.
In the Sys V init scripts, we check for Java. This is not needed, since
the same check happens in elasticsearch-env when starting up. Having
this duplicate check has bitten us in the past, where we made a change
to the logic in elasticsearch-env, but missed updating it here. Since
there is no need for this duplicate check, we remove it from the Sys V
init scripts.
This commit addresses an issue when trying to using Elasticsearch on
systems with Sys V init and the bundled JDK was not being used. Instead,
we were still inadvertently trying to fallback on the path. This commit
removes that fallback as that is against our intentions for 7.x where we
only support the bundled JDK or an explicit JDK via JAVA_HOME.
Today our systemd service defaults to a service type of simple. This
means that systemd assumes Elasticsearch is ready as soon as the
ExecStart (bin/elasticsearch) process is forked off. This means that the
service appears ready long before it actually is, so before it is ready
to receive requests. It also means that services that want to depend on
Elasticsearch being ready to start can not as there is not a reliable
mechanism to determine this. This commit changes the service type to
notify. This requires that Elasticsearch sends a notification message
via libsystemd sd_notify method. This commit does that by using JNA to
invoke this native method. Additionally, we use this integration to also
notify systemd when we are stopping.
This commit adds deletion of the bin directory to postrm cleanup. While
the package's bin files are cleaned up by the package manager, plugins
may have created subdirectories under bin. We already cleanup plugins,
but not the extra bin dirs their installation created.
closes#18109
The deb package has been updated several times in the past to contain
overrides in order to pass lintian inspection. However, there have never
been any tests to ensure we do not fallback to failure. This commit
updates the overrides file given things that have changed since 2.x like
adding ML and bundling the jdk.
closes#17185
We currently download 3 variants of the same version of the jdk for
bundling into the distributions. Additionally, the vagrant images do
their own downloading. This commit moves the jdk downloading into a
utility gradle plugin. This will be used in a future PR by the packaging
tests.
The new plugin exposes a "jdks" project extension which allows creating
named jdks. Once the jdk version and platform are set for a named jdk,
the jdk object may be used as a lazy String for the jdk home path, or a
file collection for copying.
When Elasticsearch is run from a package installation, the running
process does not have permissions to write to the keystore. This is
because of the root:root ownership of /etc/elasticsearch. This is why we
create the keystore if it does not exist during package installation. If
the keystore needs to be upgraded, that is currently done by the running
Elasticsearch process. Yet, as just mentioned, the Elasticsearch process
would not have permissions to do that during runtime. Instead, this
needs to be done during package upgrade. This commit adds an upgrade
command to the keystore CLI for this purpose, and that is invoked during
package upgrade if the keystore already exists. This ensures that we are
always on the latest keystore format before the Elasticsearch process is
invoked, and therefore no upgrade would be needed then. While this bug
has always existed, we have not heard of reports of it in practice. Yet,
this bug becomes a lot more likely with a recent change to the format of
the keystore to remove the distinction between file and string entries.
The pid dir for both systemd and init.d is already managed by those
respective systems (tmpfiles.d and the init script, respectively). Since
the /var/run dir is often mounted as tmpfs, it does not make sense to
have the elasticsearch pid dir added by the package installation. This
commit removes that empty dir from deb and rpm.
This commit adds a filter to the files include from modules to only
include platform specific files relevant to the distribution being
built. For example, the deb files on linux would now only include linux
ML binaries, and not windows or macos files.
* Add notice for bundled jdk
This commit adds the license/notice for the bundled openjdk.
* First draft
* iteration
* Fix package notices
* Iteration
* One more iteration
This commit adds a variant for every official distribution that omits
the bundled jdk. The "no-jdk" naming is conveyed through the package
classifier, alongside the platform. Package tests are also added for
each new distribution.
The posix_spawn method of launching a process from Java
goes via an intermediate process called jspawnhelper
which lives in the lib directory rather than the bin
directory and hence got missed by the original chmod
loop. This change adds jspawnhelper as a special case.
It's the only program that's in the lib directory in a
macOS JDK 11.
* Bundle java in distributions
Setting up a jdk is currently a required external step when installing
elasticsearch. This is particularly problematic for the rpm/deb packages
as installing a jdk in the same package installation command does not
guarantee any order, so must be done in separate steps. Additionally,
JAVA_HOME must be set and often causes problems in selecting a correct
jdk when, for example, the system java is an older unsupported version.
This commit bundles platform specific openjdks into each distribution.
In addition to eliminating the issues above, it also presents future
possible improvements like using jlink to build jdk images only
containing modules that elasticsearch uses.
closes#31845
This commit makes the rpm metadata indicate the pre 7.0 noarch packages
are obsoleted by this package. This fixes an issue where upgrading with
yum would cause an error thinking there was nothing to upgrade.
closes#39414
Finding java on the path is sometimes confusing for users and
unexpected, as well as leading to a different java being used than a
user expects. This commit adds warning messages when starting
elasticsearch (or any tools like the plugin cli) and using java found
on the PATH instead of via JAVA_HOME.
Currently init scripts fail when `/proc/sys/vm/max_map_count` is not present
with `-bash: [: too many arguments`.
Fix conditional logic to avoid trying to set the `max_map_count` sysctl if not
present.

This commit adds classifiers to the distributions indicating the
OS (for archives) and platform. The current OSes are for windows, darwin (ie
macos) and linux. This change will allow future OS/architecture specific
changes to the distributions. Note the docs using distribution links
have been updated, but will be reworked in a followup to make OS
specific instructions for the archives.
The /etc/elasticsearch directory is currently configured as a config
file with noreplace. However, the directory itself is not config, and
can lead to an entire /etc/elasticsearch.rpmsave directory in some
situations. This commit fixes the ospackage config to not specify those
file bits for the directory itself, but only the files underneath it.
Some systems default to a nofile ulimit of 65535. To reduce the pain of
deploying Elasticsearch to such systems, this commit lowers the required
limit from 65536 to 65535.
This commit removes permission editing commands from the postinst
scriptlet. Instead, we now fully configure the owner/group (as well as
sticky bit) for these files and directories.
closes#37143
Currently is `java` is not in $PATH the preinst script fails
prematurely and prevents an appropriate message from getting displayed
to the user.
Make package installation more user friendly when java is not in
$PATH and add a test for it.
Also use a she-bang in the preinst script, as, at least in Debian,
maintainer scripts must start with the #! convention [1].

On some Linux distributions tmpfiles.d cleans files and
directories under /tmp if they haven't been accessed for
10 days.
This can cause problems for ML as ML is currently the only
component that uses the temp directory more than a few
seconds after startup. If you didn't open an ML job for
10 days and then tried to open one then the temp directory
would have been deleted.
This commit prevents the problem occurring in the case of
Elasticsearch being managed by systemd, as systemd private
temp directories are not subject to periodic cleanup (by
default).
Additionally there are now some docs to warn people about
the risk and suggest a manual mitigation for .tar.gz users.
Explicitly include all subdirectories of these folders in
/usr/share/elasticsearch in package distributions so that they are
managed by the package manager. This change does really have an
effect in the 7.x series, where there are no subdirectories in bin, and
we were already doing this in lib and modules. It does have an effect in
the 6.x series where the bin/x-pack subdirectory was not previously
tracked by the package manager and could be left behind on removal in
rpm distributions.
* Remove BouncyCastle dependency from runtime
This commit introduces a new gradle project that contains
the classes that have a dependency on BouncyCastle. For
the default distribution, It builds a jar from those and
in puts it in a subdirectory of lib
(/tools/security-cli) along with the BouncyCastle jars.
This directory is then passed in the
ES_ADDITIONAL_CLASSPATH_DIRECTORIES of the CLI tools
that use these classes.
BouncyCastle is removed as a runtime dependency (remains
as a compileOnly one) from x-pack core and x-pack security.
So the issue here is that we want to avoid setting vm.max_map_count if
it is already equal to the desired value (the bootstrap check requires
262144). The reason we want to avoid this is because in some use-cases
using sysctl to set this will fail. In this case, we want to enable
users to set this value externally and then allow that to cause using
sysctl to set the value to be skipped so that cases where using sysctl
will fail to no longer fail.
The package installation relies on java being in the path. If java is
not in the path, the tests fail at post-install time. This commit adds a
pre-install check to validate that java exists, and if it fails, the
package is never installed, and thus keeps a system clean, rather than
aborting at post-install and leaving behind a mess.
Closes#29665
This commit modifies the Sys V init startup scripts to only modify
vm.max_map_count if needed. In this case, needed means that the current
value is less than our default value of 262144 maps.
We sign our official plugins yet this is not well-advertised and not at
all consumed during plugin installation. For plugins that are installed
over the intertubes, verifying that the downloaded artifact is signed by
our signing key would establish both integrity and validity of the
downloaded artifact. The chain of trust here is simple: our installable
artifacts (archive and package distributions) so that if a user trusts
our packages via their signatures, and our plugin installer (which would
be executing trusted code) verifies the downloaded plugin, then the user
can trust the downloaded plugin too. This commit adds verification of
official plugins downloaded during installation. We do not add
verification for offline plugin installs; a user can download our
signatures and verify the artifacts themselves.
This commit also needs to solve a few interesting challenges. One of
these is that we want the bouncy castle JARs on the classpath only for
the plugin installer, but not for the runtime
Elasticsearch. Additionally, we want these JARs to not be present for
the JAR hell checks. To address this, we shift these JARs into a
sub-directory of lib (lib/tools/plugin-cli) that is only loaded for the
plugin installer, and in the plugin installer we filter any JARs in this
directory from the JAR hell check.
If you have an unusual umask (e.g., 0002) and clone the GitHub
repository then files that we stick into our packages like the
README.textile and the license will have a file mode of 0664 on disk yet
we expect them to be 0644. Additionally, the same thing happens with
compiled artifacts like JARs. We try to set a default file mode yet it
does not seem to take everywhere. This commit adds explicit file modes
in some places that we were relying on the defaults to ensure that the
built artifacts have a consistent file mode regardless of the underlying
build host.
This commit adds setting the homedir for the elasticsearch user to the
adduser command in the packaging preinstall script. While the
elasticsearch user is a system user, it is sometimes conventient to have
an existing homedir (even if it is not writeable). For example, running
cron as the elasticsearch user will try to change dir to the homedir.
closes#14453
Systemd overrides should happen through /etc/systemd/system, not
directly editing the service file. This commit removes marking the
service file as configuration for rpm and deb packages.
This commit converts the deb package to use tildes in place of dash in
the internal package version. This is only relevant for prerelease
versions of elasticsearch. Previously, this was not possible due to
problems with the underlying library used by the ospackage plugin, but
since a recent upgrade, it now works.
closes#21139
Adds tasks that check that the all jars that we build have LICENSE.txt
and NOTICE.txt files and that the files are correct. Sets check to
depend on these task.
This is mostly there for extra parnoia because we automatically
configure all Jar tasks to include the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt
files anyway. But it is quite possible to add configuration to those
tasks that would override either file.
This causes check to depend on several more things than it used to.
Take, for example, javadoc:
check depends on the new verifyJavadocJarNotice which depends on
extractJavadocJar which depends on javadocJar which depends on
javadoc, this check now depends on javadoc.
This commit adds some build time checks that the archive distributions
and package distributions contain the appropriate license and notice
files, and the package distributions contain the appropriate license
metadata.
This commit uses the customFields setting of the Deb task in ospackage
to work around the fact it does not know anything about the License
attribute natively.
THe deb distribution has a special copyright file instead of
LICENSE.txt, but the distributions were including the template file
instead of the rendered file (which includes the license name and text).
This commit moves the apache and elastic license files into a new
root level `licenses` directory and rewrites the top level LICENSE.txt
to clarify the repository has a mix of apache and elastic licensed code.
This commit adds license metadata to rpm and deb packages. Additionally,
it makes the copyright file for deb files follow the machine readable
specification, and sets the correct license text based on the oss vs
default deb packages.
This commit adds the distribution flavor (default versus oss) to the
build process which is passed through the startup scripts to
Elasticsearch. This change will be used to customize the message on
attempting to install/remove x-pack based on the distribution flavor.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
When upgrading via the RPM package, we can run into a problem where
the keystore fails to be created. This arises because the %post script
on RPM runs after the new package files are installed but before the
removal of the old package files. This means that the contents of the
lib folder can contain files from the old package and the new package
and thus running the create keystore tool can encounter JAR hell
issues and fail. To solve this, we move creating the keystore to the
%posttrans script which runs after the old package files are
removed. We only need to do this on the RPM package, so we add a
switch in the shared post-install script.
