After considerable discussion, we have elected to set the default min
heap to 256m and the default max heap to 2g. This is to balance the
desire for a good out-of-the-box performance experience (default max
heap of 2g) with a good out-of-the-box experience running on machines
with limited resources or running multiple instances on a single modern
developer laptop (default min heap of 1g).
Benchmarking with the geonames data set shows that Elasticsearch truly
needs 2g of heap or the heap is a bottleneck for indexing rates. If our
goal is to satisfy the out-of-the-box-experience, we should prioritize
the out-of-the-box performance experience. Thus, the default heap should
be 2g until smaller heaps are not the bottleneck for indexing small data
sets.
This commit fixes the Debian package requires clause for bash. For the
RPM it is okay to specify the binary, but for the Debian package the
package name must be specified.
Today we encourage users to set their minimum and maximum heap settings
equal to each other to prevent the heap from resizing. Yet, the default
heap settings do not start Elasticsearch in this fashion. This commit
addresses this discrepancy by setting the default min heap to '512m' and
the default max heap to the default min heap.

This commit adds a hard requirement to the RPM and Debian packages for
/bin/bash to be present, and adds a note regarding this to the migration
docs.

In preparation for a unified release process, we need to be able to
generate the pom files independently of trying to actually publish. This
change adds back the maven-publish plugin just for that purpose. The
nexus plugin still exists for now, so that we do not break snapshots,
but that can be removed at a later time once snapshots are happenign
through the unified tools. Note I also changed the dir jars are written
into so that all our artifacts are under build/distributions.
This changes our packaging to be explicit about the permissions of files
and directories in the tar.gz, rpm, and deb packages. This is to protect
against a user having an incorrectly set umask when installing.
Additionally, plugins that are installed now have their permissions set
by the plugin installation so that plugins that may have been packaged
with incorrect permissions are secured.
Resolves#17634
This allows for a local file based deploy without needed nexus
auth information.
Also signing of packages has been added, either via gradle.properties
or using system properties as a fallback.
The property build.repository allows to configure another endpoint if no
snapshot build is done.
Fix creation of .asc file for tar.gz distribution
Closes#17405
This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and
simplify management of JVM options. This separates the configuration of
the JVM from the packaging scripts (bin/elasticsearch*, bin/service.bat,
and init.d/elasticsearch) simplifying end-user operational management of
custom JVM options.
The build currently uses the old maven support in gradle. This commit
switches to use the newer maven-publish plugin. This will allow future
changes, for example, easily publishing to artifactory.
An additional part of this change makes publishing of build-tools part
of the normal publishing, instead of requiring a separate upload step
from within buildSrc. That also sets us up for a follow up to enable
precomit checks on the buildSrc code itself.
Removes all our logger wrappers except the wrapper for log4j1.2. If you
depend on Elasticsearch's jar in your application you'll need to declare
log4j 1.2 and/or some bridge to your favorite logger.
We did this to simplify our builds and code. No more commons-logging like
log implementation sniffing. No more optional dependency hacks in gradle.
We might one day want to use j.u.l instead of log4j. If we do want that
we can recover its wrapper by studying this commit. We didn't go directly
to j.u.l in this commit because that is a bigger change. Our logging
configuration is based on log4j1.2 and people are used to it. So it'd
be a much more fraught breaking change to do that conversion.
Both modules and integ-test-zip have integration tests (the latter being
the base rest tests). We can currently get odd behavior where
integ-test-zip's integ test does not shutdown its cluster before running
mdoule integ tests (and it then tries to shutdown all those clusters at
once after modules integ tests have run).
The underlying issue can be attributed to a bug in gradle with how cross project
mustRunAfter work with finalizers. This change works around this bug by
setting up mustRunAfter on the shutdown task itself.
We currently use the full suite of packaged rest tests for each
distribution. We also used to run rest tests within core integ tests,
but this stopped working when we split out the test-framework, since the
test files are in there.
This change simplifies the code to run packaged rest tests just once,
for the integ-test-zip, and removes the unused rest tests from
test-framework. Distributions rest tests now check that all modules
were loaded.
This change attempts to simplify the gradle tasks for precommit. One
major part of that is using a "less groovy style", as well as being more
consistent about how tasks are created and where they are configured. It
also allows the things creating the tasks to set up inter task
dependencies, instead of assuming them (ie decoupling from tasks
eleswhere in the build).
Currently we use the "gradle project attachment plugin" to support
building elasticsearch as part of another project. However, this plugin
has a number of issues, a large part of which is requiring consistent
use of the projectsPrefix.
This change removes projectsPrefix, and adds support for a special
extra-plugins directory in the root of elasticsearch. Any projects
checked out within this directory will be automatically added to
elasticsearch.
We recently got a run command with gradle, but it is sometimes useful to
run ES with a specific plugin. This is a start, by making each esplugin
have a run command which installs the plugin and runs elasticsearch in
the foreground.
run.sh and run.bat were calling out to the old maven build system.
This is no longer in place, so we've created new gradle tasks to
start an elasticsearch node from the current codebase.
