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.

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.
