As user-defined cluster metadata is accessible to anyone with access to
get the cluster settings, stored in the logs, and likely to be tracked
by monitoring solutions, it is useful to clarify in the documentation
that it should not be used to store secret information.
It is not obvious that a filesystem-level backup may capture an inconsistent
set of files that may fail on restore, or (worse) succeed having silently
discarded some data. This change spells the out, and reorganises the first page
or so of the snapshot/restore docs to make this warning fit more nicely.
This change adds a `_source` only snapshot repository that allows to wrap
any existing repository as a _backend_ to snapshot only the `_source` part
including live docs markers. Snapshots taken with the `source` repository
won't include any indices, doc-values or points. The snapshot will be reduced in size and
functionality such that it requires full re-indexing after it's successfully restored.
The restore process will copy the `_source` data locally starts a special shard and engine
to allow `match_all` scrolls and searches. Any other query, or get call will fail with and unsupported operation exception. The restored index is also marked as read-only.
This feature aims mainly for disaster recovery use-cases where snapshot size is
a concern or where time to restore is less of an issue.
**NOTE**: The snapshot produced by this repository is still a valid lucene index. This change doesn't allow for any longer retention policies which is out of scope for this change.
With features like CCR building on the CCS infrastructure, the settings
prefix search.remote makes less sense as the namespace for these remote
cluster settings than does a more general namespace like
cluster.remote. This commit replaces these settings with cluster.remote
with a fallback to the deprecated settings search.remote.
Adds a place for users to store cluster-wide data they wish to associate
with the cluster via the Cluster Settings API. This is strictly for
user-defined data, Elasticsearch makes no other other use of these
settings.
Today we support a static list of seed hosts in core Elasticsearch, and allow a
dynamic list of seed hosts to be provided via a file using the `discovery-file`
plugin. In fact the ability to provide a dynamic list of seed hosts is
increasingly useful, so this change moves this functionality to core
Elasticsearch to avoid the need for a plugin.
Furthermore, in order to start up nodes in integration tests we currently
assign a known port to each node before startup, which unfortunately sometimes
fails if another process grabs the selected port in the meantime. By moving the
`discovery-file` functionality into the core product we can use it to avoid
this race.
This change also moves the expected path to the file from
`$ES_PATH_CONF/discovery-file/unicast_hosts.txt` to
`$ES_PATH_CONF/unicast_hosts.txt`. An example of this file is not included in
distributions.
For BWC purposes the plugin still exists, but does nothing more than create the
example file in the old location, and issue a warning when it is used. We also
continue to support the old location for the file, but warn about its
deprecation.

We do not support intra-cluster connections on multiple interfaces, but the
documentation indicates that we will in future. In fact there is currently no
plan to support this, so the forward-looking documentation is misleading. This
commit
- removes the misleading sentence
- fixes that a transport profile affects outbound connections, not inbound ones
- tidies up some nearby text
With this commit we introduce a new circuit-breaking strategy to the parent
circuit breaker. Contrary to the current implementation which only accounts for
memory reserved via child circuit breakers, the new strategy measures real heap
memory usage at the time of reservation. This allows us to be much more
aggressive with the circuit breaker limit so we bump it to 95% by default. The
new strategy is turned on by default and can be controlled with the new cluster
setting `indices.breaker.total.userealmemory`.
Note that we turn it off for all integration tests with an internal test cluster
because it leads to spurious test failures which are of no value (we cannot
fully control heap memory usage in tests). All REST tests, however, will make
use of the real memory circuit breaker.
Relates #31767
So far the in-flight request circuit breaker has only accounted for the
on-the-wire representation of a request. However, we convert the raw
request into XContent internally which increases the overhead.
Therefore, we increase the value of the corresponding setting
`network.breaker.inflight_requests.overhead` from one to two. While this
value is still rather conservative (we assume that the representation as
structured objects has no overhead compared to the byte[]), it is closer
to reality than the current value.
Relates #31613
The documentation for the account circuit breaker listed the settings for it's limit and overhead to be `network.breaker.accounting.limit` and `network.breaker.accounting.overhead` when in `HieratchyCircuitBreakerService` it seems the settings are actually `indices.breaker.accounting.limit` and `indices.breaker.accounting.overhead`.
Include size of snapshot in snapshot metadata
Adds difference of number of files (and file sizes) between prev and current snapshot. Total number/size reflects total number/size of files in snapshot.

This commit reintroduces 31251c9 and 63a5799. These commits introduced a
memory leak and were reverted. This commit brings those commits back
and fixes the memory leak by removing unnecessary retain method calls.
This reverts commit 31251c9 introduced in #30695.
We suspect this commit is causing the OOME's reported in #30811 and we will use this PR to test this assertion.
This is related to #29500 and #28898. This commit removes the abilitiy
to disable http pipelining. After this commit, any elasticsearch node
will support pipelined requests from a client. Additionally, it extracts
some of the http pipelining work to the server module. This extracted
work is used to implement pipelining for the nio plugin.
This commit removes the http.enabled setting. While all real nodes (started with bin/elasticsearch) will always have an http binding, there are many tests that rely on the quickness of not actually needing to bind to 2 ports. For this case, the MockHttpTransport.TestPlugin provides a dummy http transport implementation which is used by default in ESIntegTestCase.

A NullPointerException is thrown when trying to create or delete
a snapshot in a repository that has been written to by an older
Elasticsearch after writing to it with a newer Elasticsearch version.
This is because the way snapshots are formatted in the repository
snapshots index file changed in #24477.
This commit changes the parsing of the repository index file so that
it now detects a corrupted index file and fails early the snapshot
operation.
closes#29052
This commit renames the bulk thread pool to the write thread pool. This
is to better reflect the fact that the underlying thread pool is used to
execute any document write request (single-document index/delete/update
requests, and bulk requests).
With this change, we add support for fallback settings
thread_pool.bulk.* which will be supported until 7.0.0.
We also add a system property so that the display name of the thread
pool remains as "bulk" if needed to avoid breaking users.
Now that single-document indexing requests are executed on the bulk
thread pool the index thread pool is no longer needed. This commit
removes this thread pool from Elasticsearch.
We want to remove the index thread pool as it is no longer needed since
single-document indexing requests are executed as bulk requests
now. Analyze requests are also executed on the index thread pool though
and they need a thread pool to execute on. The bulk thread does not seem
like the right thread pool, let us keep that thread pool conceptually
for bulk requests and free for bulk requests. None of the existing
thread pools make sense for analyze requests either. The generic thread
pool would be a terrible choice since it has an unbounded queue and that
is a bad idea for user-facing APIs. This commit introduces a small by
default (size=1, queue_size=16) thread pool for analyze requests.
Control max size and count of warning headers
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_count" to control the maximum number of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_size" to control the maximum total size of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
With every warning header that exceeds these limits,
a message will be logged in the main ES log,
and any more warning headers for this response will be
ignored.
I am not sure why we have this leniency for HTTP max content length, it
has been there since the beginning
(5ac51ee93f) with no explanation of its
source. That said, our philosophy today is different than the philosophy
of the past where Elasticsearch would be quite lenient in its handling
of settings and today we aim for predictability for both users and
us. This commit removes leniency in the parsing of
http.max_content_length.
This commit adds a new setting `cluster.persistent_tasks.allocation.enable`
that can be used to enable or disable the allocation of persistent tasks.
The setting accepts the values `all` (default) or `none`. When set to
none, the persistent tasks that are created (or that must be reassigned)
won't be assigned to a node but will reside in the cluster state with
a no "executor node" and a reason describing why it is not assigned:
```
"assignment" : {
"executor_node" : null,
"explanation" : "persistent task [foo/bar] cannot be assigned [no
persistent task assignments are allowed due to cluster settings]"
}
```
Update allocation awareness docs
Today, the docs imply that if multiple attributes are specified the the
whole combination of values is considered as a single entity when
performing allocation. In fact, each attribute is considered separately. This
change fixes this discrepancy.
It also replaces the use of the term "awareness zone" with "zone or domain", and
reformats some paragraphs to the right width.
Fixes#29105
Values for the network.host setting can often contain a colon which is a
character that is considered special by YAML (these arise in IPv6
addresses and some of the special tags like ":ipv4"). As such, these
values need to be quoted or a YAML parser will be unhappy with
them. This commit adds a note to the docs regarding this.
Cluster settings shouldn't leak into the next test.
I played with failing the test if it left over any settings but that
felt like it added more ceremony then it was worth. The advantage is
that any test that intentionally wants to leave settings in place after
the test would fail and require looking at but, so far as I can tell, we
don't have any such tests.
Clear the disk watermark after the snippet showing users how to set it.
Without this our tests will fail if the disks have less than 10GB free.
Closes#28325
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.
Closes#27750Closes#27751
* Add accounting circuit breaker and track segment memory usage
This commit adds a new circuit breaker "accounting" that is used for tracking
the memory usage of non-request-tied memory users. It also adds tracking for the
amount of Lucene segment memory used by a shard as a user of the new circuit
breaker.
The Lucene segment memory is updated when the shard refreshes, and removed when
the shard relocates away from a node or is deleted. It should also be noted that
all tracking for segment memory uses `addWithoutBreaking` so as not to fail the
shard if a limit is reached.
The `accounting` breaker has a default limit of 100% and will contribute to the
parent breaker limit.
