#10032 introduced the notion of sealing an index by marking it with a special read only marker, allowing for a couple of optimization to happen. The most important one was to speed up recoveries of shards where we know nothing has changed since they were online by skipping the file based sync phase. During the implementation we came up with a light notion which achieves the same recovery benefits but without the read only aspects which we dubbed synced flush. The fact that it was light weight and didn't put the index in read only mode, allowed us to do it automatically in the background which has great advantage. However we also felt the need to allow users to manually trigger this operation.
The implementation at #11179 added the sync flush internal logic and the manual (rest) rest API. The name of the API was modeled after the sealing terminology which may end up being confusing. This commit changes the API name to match the internal synced flush naming, namely `{index}/_flush/synced'.
On top of that it contains a couple other changes:
- Remove all java client API. This feature is not supposed to be called programtically by applications but rather by admins.
- Improve rest responses making structure similar to other (flush) API
- Change IndexShard#getOperationsCount to exclude the internal +1 on open shard . it's confusing to get 1 while there are actually no ongoing operations
- Some minor other clean ups
Mappings conflicts should not be ignored. If I read the history correctly, this
option was added when a mapping update to an existing field was considered a
conflict, even if the new mapping was exactly the same. Now that mapping updates
are smart enough to detect conflicting options, we don't need an option to
ignore conflicts.
There currently are small differences between search api and count, exists, validate query, explain api when it comes to reading query_string parameters. `analyze_wildcard`, `lowercase_expanded_terms` and `lenient` are only read by the search api and ignored by all other mentioned apis. Unified code to fix this and make sure it doesn't happen again. Also shared some code when it comes to printing out the query as part of SearchSourceBuilder conversion to ToXContent.
Extended REST spec to include all the supported params (some that were already supported weren't listed), and added REST tests (also some basic tests for count and search_exists which weren't tested at all).
Closes#11057
Removes the More Like This API, users should now use the More Like This query.
The MLT API tests were converted to their query equivalent. Also some clean
ups in MLT tests.
Closes#10736Closes#11003
This removes Elasticsearch's filter cache and uses Lucene's instead. It has some
implications:
- custom cache keys (`_cache_key`) are unsupported
- decisions are made internally and can't be overridden by users ('_cache`)
- not only filters can be cached but also all queries that do not need scores
- parent/child queries can now be cached, however cached entries are only
valid for the current top-level reader so in practice it will likely only
be used on read-only indices
- the cache deduplicates filters, which plays nicer with large keys (eg. `terms`)
- better stats: we already had ram usage and evictions, but now also hit count,
miss count, lookup count, number of cached doc id sets and current number of
doc id sets in the cache
- dynamically changing the filter cache size is not supported anymore
Internally, an important change is that it removes the NoCacheFilter infrastructure
in favour of making Query.rewrite specializing the query for the current reader so
that it will only be cached on this reader (look for IndexCacheableQuery).
Note that consuming filters with the query API (createWeight/scorer) instead of
the filter API (getDocIdSet) is important for parent/child queries because
otherwise a QueryWrapperFilter(ParentQuery) would run the wrapped query per
segment while relations might be cross segments.
Remove the ability to specify search type ‘query_and_fetch’ and
‘df_query_and_fetch’ from the REST API.
- Adds REST tests
- Updates REST API spec to remove ‘query_and_fetch’ and
‘df_query_and_fetch’ as options
- Removes documentation for these options
Closes#9606
The current implementation is dangerous: it unexpectedly refreshes,
which can quickly cause an unhealthy index (segment explosion). It
can also delete different documents on primary vs replicas, causing
inconsistent replicas.
For 2.0 we will replace this with an optional plugin that does a
scan/scroll search and then issues bulk delete requests.
Closes#10859
The field stats api returns field level statistics such as lowest, highest values and number of documents that have at least one value for a field.
An api like this can be useful to explore a data set you don't know much about. For example you can figure at with the lowest and highest response times are, so that you can create a histogram or range aggregation with sane settings.
This api doesn't run a search to figure this statistics out, but rather use the Lucene index look these statics up (using Terms class in Lucene). So finding out these stats for fields is cheap and quick.
The min/max values are based on the type of the field. So for a numeric field min/max are numbers and date field the min/max date and other fields the min/max are term based.
Closes#10523
This option defaults to false, because it is also important to upgrade
the "merely old" segments since many Lucene improvements happen within
minor releases.
But you can pass true to do the minimal work necessary to upgrade to
the next major Elasticsearch release.
The HTTP GET upgrade request now also breaks out how many bytes of
ancient segments need upgrading.

Cluster state api returns both routing_table and routing_nodes sections whenever routing_table is requested. That is pretty much the same info, just grouped differently. This commit allows to differentiate between the two. Yet, routing_table still returns both for bw comp reasons.
Closes#10352Closes#10412
This commit brings the benefits of the `count` search type to search requests
that have a `size` of 0:
- a single round-trip to shards (no fetch phase)
- ability to use the query cache
Since `count` now provides no benefits over `query_then_fetch`, it has been
deprecated.
Close#7630
The analysis chain should be used instead of relying on this, as it is
confusing when dealing with different per-field analysers.
The `locale` option was only used for `lowercase_expanded_terms`, which,
once removed, is no longer needed, so it was removed as well.
Fixes#9978
Relates to #9973
Whenever we have an api that supports GET with a body, we always support the POST method too, as well as providing the body as a query_string parameter called `source`. Our REST spec should reflect this convention. FIxed them and introduced a hard check at parse time in our Java REST tests runner, which will cause the tests to fail if spec are not compliant.
Closes#9629
The `full` option and `FlushType.NEW_WRITER` only exists to allow
realtime changes to two settings (`index.codec` and `index.concurrency`).
Those settings are very expert and don't really need to be updateable
in realtime.
Adding missing support for the multi-index query parameters 'ignore_unavailable',
'allow_no_indices' and 'expand_wildcards' to '_cluster/state' API. These
parameters are supposed to be supported for APIs that work across multiple indices.
So far overwriting the default settings per REST call was not possible which is
fixed here.

Add a new ignore_idle_threads boolean option (default true) to
/_nodes/hot_threads, to filter out threads in known idle places like
waiting on a socket select or on pulling the next task from an empty
queue.

This commit adds support for version and version_type to the Term Vectors API.
This could be useful in the following case whereby the user gets a document
and later wants to generate its TVs. With version, this would ensure that only
the TVs of that particular document are generated, and error out if the
document has been updated in between.
Closes#7480
We speak of the term vectors of a document, where each field has an associated
stored term vector. Since by default we are requesting all the term vectors of
a document, the HTTP request endpoint should rather be called `_termvectors`
instead of `_termvector`. The usage of `_termvector` is now deprecated, as
well as the transport client call to termVector and prepareTermVector.
Closes#8484
