Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.
Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.
Add example for selectively clearing just the request, query or fielddata cache
and for selectively clearing the cache for specific fields.
Closes#34287
* Add basic support for field aliases in index mappings. (#31287)
* Allow for aliases when fetching stored fields. (#31411)
* Add tests around accessing field aliases in scripts. (#31417)
* Add documentation around field aliases. (#31538)
* Add validation for field alias mappings. (#31518)
* Return both concrete fields and aliases in DocumentFieldMappers#getMapper. (#31671)
* Make sure that field-level security is enforced when using field aliases. (#31807)
* Add more comprehensive tests for field aliases in queries + aggregations. (#31565)
* Remove the deprecated method DocumentFieldMappers#getFieldMapper. (#32148)
In order to be more consistent with what they do, the query cache has been
renamed to request cache and the filter cache has been renamed to query
cache.
A known issue is that package/logger names do no longer match settings names,
please speak up if you think this is an issue.
Here are the settings for which I kept backward compatibility. Note that they
are a bit different from what was discussed on #11569 but putting `cache` before
the name of what is cached has the benefit of making these settings consistent
with the fielddata cache whose size is configured by
`indices.fielddata.cache.size`:
* index.cache.query.enable -> index.requests.cache.enable
* indices.cache.query.size -> indices.requests.cache.size
* indices.cache.filter.size -> indices.queries.cache.size
Close#11569
