`text` fields will have fielddata disabled by default. Fielddata can still be
enabled on an existing index by setting `fielddata=true` in the mappings.
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
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.
Groovy uses reflection to invoke closures. These reflective calls are optimized by the JVM after "sun.reflect.inflationThreshold" number of invocations.
After inflation, access to sun.reflect.MethodAccessorImpl is required from the security manager.

This commit method renames the ScriptEngineService interface methods
types, extensions, and sandboxed to getTypes, getExtensions, and
isSandboxed, respectively.
This commit converts the script mode settings to the new settings
infrastructure. This is a major refactoring of the handling of script
mode settings. This refactoring is necessary because these settings are
determined at runtime based on the registered script engines and the
registered script contexts.
The rest test framework, because it used to be tightly integrated with
ESIntegTestCase, currently expects the addresses for the test cluster to
be passed using the transport protocol port. However, it only uses this
to then find the http address.
This change makes ESRestTestCase extend from ESTestCase instead of
ESIntegTestCase, and changes the sysprop used to tests.rest.cluster,
which now takes the http address.

This commit removes and now forbids all uses of
java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom across the codebase. The
underlying issue with ThreadLocalRandom is that it can not be
seeded. This means that if ThreadLocalRandom is used in production code,
then tests that cover any code path containing ThreadLocalRandom will be
prevented from being reproducible by use of ThreadLocalRandom. Instead,
using org.elasticsearch.common.random.Randomness#get will give
reproducible sources of random when running under tests and otherwise
still give an instance of ThreadLocalRandom when running as production
code.
This fixes the `lenient` parameter to be `missingClasses`. I will remove this boolean and we can handle them via the normal whitelist.
It also adds a check for sheisty classes (jar hell with the jdk).
This is inspired by the lucene "sheisty" classes check, but it has false positives. This check is more evil, it validates every class file against the extension classloader as a resource, to see if it exists there. If so: jar hell.
This jar hell is a problem for several reasons:
1. causes insanely-hard-to-debug problems (like bugs in forbidden-apis)
2. hides problems (like internal api access)
3. the code you think is executing, is not really executing
4. security permissions are not what you think they are
5. brings in unnecessary dependencies
6. its jar hell
The more difficult problems are stuff like jython, where these classes are simply 'uberjared' directly in, so you cant just fix them by removing a bogus dependency. And there is a legit reason for them to do that, they want to support java 1.4.
Since 2.2 we run all scripts with minimal privileges, similar to applets in your browser.
The problem is, they have unrestricted access to other things they can muck with (ES, JDK, whatever).
So they can still easily do tons of bad things
This PR restricts what classes scripts can load via the classloader mechanism, to make life more difficult.
The "standard" list was populated from the old list used for the groovy sandbox: though
a few more were needed for tests to pass (java.lang.String, java.util.Iterator, nothing scary there).
Additionally, each scripting engine typically needs permissions to some runtime stuff.
That is the downside of this "good old classloader" approach, but I like the transparency and simplicity,
and I don't want to waste my time with any feature provided by the engine itself for this, I don't trust them.
This is not perfect and the engines are not perfect but you gotta start somewhere. For expert users that
need to tweak the permissions, we already support that via the standard java security configuration files, the
specification is simple, supports wildcards, etc (though we do not use them ourselves).
* Forbid System.setProperties & co in forbidden APIs.
* Ban property write access at runtime with security manager.
Plugins that need to modify system properties will need to request permission in their plugin-security.policy
the current jar is over 3 years old, we should upgrade it for bugfixes.
the current integration could be more secure: set a global policy and enforce additional (compile-time) checks

This change removes the leftover pom files. A couple files were left for
reference, namely in qa tests that have not yet been migrated (vagrant
and multinode). The deb and rpm assemblies also still exist for
reference when finishing their setup in gradle.
See #13930
There are three ways `@Test` was used. Way one:
```java
@Test
public void flubTheBlort() {
```
This way was always replaced with:
```java
public void testFlubTheBlort() {
```
Or, maybe with a better method name if I was feeling generous.
Way two:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
methodThatThrows();
}
```
This way of using `@Test` is actually pretty OK, but to get the tools to ban
`@Test` entirely it can't be used. Instead:
```java
public void testFoo() {
try {
methodThatThrows();
fail("Expected IllegalArgumentException");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e ) {
assertThat(e.getMessage(), containsString("something"));
}
}
```
This is longer but tests more than the old ways and is much more precise.
Compare:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
some();
copy();
and();
pasted();
methodThatThrows();
code(); // <---- This was left here by mistake and is never called
}
```
to:
```java
@Test(throws=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void testFoo() {
some();
copy();
and();
pasted();
try {
methodThatThrows();
fail("Expected IllegalArgumentException");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e ) {
assertThat(e.getMessage(), containsString("something"));
}
}
```
The final use of test is:
```java
@Test(timeout=1000)
public void testFoo() {
methodThatWasSlow();
}
```
This is the most insidious use of `@Test` because its tempting but tragically
flawed. Its flaws are:
1. Hard and fast timeouts can look like they are asserting that something is
faster and even do an ok job of it when you compare the timings on the same
machine but as soon as you take them to another machine they start to be
invalid. On a slow VM both the new and old methods fail. On a super-fast
machine the slower and faster ways succeed.
2. Tests often contain slow `assert` calls so the performance of tests isn't
sure to predict the performance of non-test code.
3. These timeouts are rude to debuggers because the test just drops out from
under it after the timeout.
Confusingly, timeouts are useful in tests because it'd be rude for a broken
test to cause CI to abort the whole build after it hits a global timeout. But
those timeouts should be very very long "backstop" timeouts and aren't useful
assertions about speed.
For all its flaws `@Test(timeout=1000)` doesn't have a good replacement __in__
__tests__. Nightly benchmarks like http://benchmarks.elasticsearch.org/ are
useful here because they run on the same machine but they aren't quick to check
and it takes lots of time to figure out the regressions. Sometimes its useful
to compare dueling implementations but that requires keeping both
implementations around. All and all we don't have a satisfactory answer to the
question "what do you replace `@Test(timeout=1000)`" with. So we handle each
occurrence on a case by case basis.
For files with `@Test` this also:
1. Removes excess blank lines. They don't help anything.
2. Removes underscores from method names. Those would fail any code style
checks we ever care to run and don't add to readability. Since I did this manually
I didn't do it consistently.
3. Make sure all test method names start with `test`. Some used to end in `Test` or start
with `verify` or `check` and they were picked up using the annotation. Without the
annotation they always need to start with `test`.
4. Organizes imports using the rules we generate for Eclipse. For the most part
this just removes `*` imports which is a win all on its own. It was "required"
to quickly remove `@Test`.
5. Removes unneeded casts. This is just a setting I have enabled in Eclipse and
forgot to turn off before I did this work. It probably isn't hurting anything.
6. Removes trailing whitespace. Again, another Eclipse setting I forgot to turn
off that doesn't hurt anything. Hopefully.
7. Swaps some tests override superclass tests to make them empty with
`assumeTrue` so that the reasoning for the skips is logged in the test run and
it doesn't "look like" that thing is being tested when it isn't.
8. Adds an oxford comma to an error message.
The total test count doesn't change. I know. I counted.
```bash
git checkout master && mvn clean && mvn install | tee with_test
git no_test_annotation master && mvn clean && mvn install | tee not_test
grep 'Tests summary' with_test > with_test_summary
grep 'Tests summary' not_test > not_test_summary
diff with_test_summary not_test_summary
```
These differ somewhat because some tests are skipped based on the random seed.
The total shouldn't differ. But it does!
```
1c1
< [INFO] Tests summary: 564 suites (1 ignored), 3171 tests, 31 ignored (31 assumptions)
---
> [INFO] Tests summary: 564 suites (1 ignored), 3167 tests, 17 ignored (17 assumptions)
```
These are the core unit tests. So we dig further:
```bash
cat with_test | perl -pe 's/\n// if /^Suite/;s/.*\n// if /IGNOR/;s/.*\n// if /Assumption #/;s/.*\n// if /HEARTBEAT/;s/Completed .+?,//' | grep Suite > with_test_suites
cat not_test | perl -pe 's/\n// if /^Suite/;s/.*\n// if /IGNOR/;s/.*\n// if /Assumption #/;s/.*\n// if /HEARTBEAT/;s/Completed .+?,//' | grep Suite > not_test_suites
diff <(sort with_test_suites) <(sort not_test_suites)
```
The four tests with lower test numbers are all extend `AbstractQueryTestCase`
and all have a method that looks like this:
```java
@Override
public void testToQuery() throws IOException {
assumeTrue("test runs only when at least a type is registered", getCurrentTypes().length > 0);
super.testToQuery();
}
```
It looks like this method was being double counted on master and isn't anymore.

Add SpecialPermission to guard exceptions to security policy.
In some cases (e.g. buggy cloud libraries, scripting engines), we must
grant dangerous permissions to contained cases. Those AccessController blocks
are dangerous, since they truncate the stack, and can allow privilege escalation.
This PR adds a simple permission to check before each one, so that unprivileged code
like groovy scripts, can't do anything they shouldn't be allowed to do otherwise.
I want to refactor scripting engines so we can contain dangerous "God-like" permissions
like createClassloader/sun.reflect. These are used for dynamic class generation (scripts, mocks).
This will mean some refactoring to ES core.
But first lets get the plugins in order first. I removed those permissions globally, and
fixed grants for lang-javascript, lang-python, securemock so that everything works.
lang-javascript needs no code changes, because rhino is properly written :)
lang-python needs accesscontroller blocks. securemock was already working as of 1.1
This is just a baby step, to try to do some of this incrementally! It doesn't yet provide
us anything.
We moved a lot of repositories into elasticsearch, but in their new
location they retained their LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files. These are
all the same, and having the license and notice and the root of the
repository should be sufficient.
Plugin tests require having rest-api tests, and currently copy that spec
from a directory in the root of the plugin source into the test
resources. This change moves the rest-api-spec dir into test resources
so it is like any other test resources. It also removes unnecessary
configuration for resources from the shared plugin pom.
When running a RestIT test from the IDE, you actually start an internal node which does not automatically load the plugin you would like to test.
We need to add:
```java
@Override
protected Collection<Class<? extends Plugin>> nodePlugins() {
return pluginList(PLUGIN_HERE.class);
}
```
Everything works fine when running from maven because each test basically:
* installs elasticsearch
* installs one plugin
* starts elasticsearch with this plugin loaded
* runs the test
Note that this PR only fixes the fact we run an internal cluster with the expected plugin.
Cloud tests will still fail when run from the IDE because is such a case you actually start an internal node with many mock plugins.
And REST test suite for cloud plugins basically checks if the plugin is running by checking the output of NodesInfo API.
And we check:
```yml
- match: { nodes.$master.plugins.0.name: cloud-azure }
- match: { nodes.$master.plugins.0.jvm: true }
```
But in that case, this condition is certainly false as we started also `mock-transport-service`, `mock-index-store`, `mock-engine-factory`, `node-mocks`, `asserting-local-transport`, `mock-search-service`.
Closes#13479
We currently have a small number of test classes with the suffix "Test",
yet most use the suffix "Tests". This change renames all the "Test"
classes, so that we have a simple rule: "Non-inner classes ending with
Tests".
In plugins, we are using non consistent naming. We use `elasticsearch-cloud-aws` as the artifactId, which generates a jar file called `elasticsearch-cloud-aws-VERSION.jar`.
But when you want to install the plugin, you will end up with a shorter name for the plugin `cloud-aws`.
```
bin/plugin install cloud-aws
```
This commit changes that and use consistent names for `artifactId`, so `finalName`.
Also changed maven names.
