First, some background: we have 15 different methods to get a logger in
Elasticsearch but they can be broken down into three broad categories
based on what information is provided when building the logger.
Just a class like:
```
private static final Logger logger = ESLoggerFactory.getLogger(ActionModule.class);
```
or:
```
protected final Logger logger = Loggers.getLogger(getClass());
```
The class and settings:
```
this.logger = Loggers.getLogger(getClass(), settings);
```
Or more information like:
```
Loggers.getLogger("index.store.deletes", settings, shardId)
```
The goal of the "class and settings" variant is to attach the node name
to the logger. Because we don't always have the settings available, we
often use the "just a class" variant and get loggers without node names
attached. There isn't any real consistency here. Some loggers get the
node name because it is convenient and some do not.
This change makes the node name available to all loggers all the time.
Almost. There are some caveats are testing that I'll get to. But in
*production* code the node name is node available to all loggers. This
means we can stop using the "class and settings" variants to fetch
loggers which was the real goal here, but a pleasant side effect is that
the ndoe name is now consitent on every log line and optional by editing
the logging pattern. This is all powered by setting the node name
statically on a logging formatter very early in initialization.
Now to tests: tests can't set the node name statically because
subclasses of `ESIntegTestCase` run many nodes in the same jvm, even in
the same class loader. Also, lots of tests don't run with a real node so
they don't *have* a node name at all. To support multiple nodes in the
same JVM tests suss out the node name from the thread name which works
surprisingly well and easy to test in a nice way. For those threads
that are not part of an `ESIntegTestCase` node we stick whatever useful
information we can get form the thread name in the place of the node
name. This allows us to keep the logger format consistent.
* Remove log4j dependency from elasticsearch-core
This removes the log4j dependency from our elasticsearch-core project. It was
originally necessary only for our jar classpath checking. It is now replaced by
a `Consumer<String>` so that the es-core dependency doesn't have external
dependencies.
The parts of #28191 which were moved in conjunction (like `ESLoggerFactory` and
`Loggers`) have been moved back where appropriate, since they are not required
in the core jar.
This is tangentially related to #28504
* Add javadocs for `output` parameter
* Change @code to @link
When we submit a task to a thread pool for asynchronous execution, we
are returned a future. Since we submitted to go asynchronous, these
futures are not inspected for failure (we would have to block a thread
to do that). While we have on failure handlers for exceptions that are
thrown during execution, we do not handle throwables that are not
exceptions and these end up silently lost. This commit adds a check
after the runnable returns that inspects the status of the future. If an
unhandled throwable occurred during execution, this throwable is
propogated out where it will land in the uncaught exception handler.

Currently meta plugins will ask for confirmation of security policy
exceptions for each bundled plugin. This commit collects the necessary
permissions of each bundled plugin, and asks for confirmation of all of
them at the same time.
This is related to #27933. It introduces a jar named elasticsearch-core
in the lib directory. This commit moves the JarHell class from server to
elasticsearch-core. Additionally, PathUtils and some of Loggers are
moved as JarHell depends on them.
This commit adds the infrastructure to plugin building and loading to
allow one plugin to extend another. That is, one plugin may extend
another by the "parent" plugin allowing itself to be extended through
java SPI. When all plugins extending a plugin are finished loading, the
"parent" plugin has a callback (through the ExtensiblePlugin interface)
allowing it to reload SPI.
This commit also adds an example plugin which uses as-yet implemented
extensibility (adding to the painless whitelist).
This commit moves GlobalCheckpointTracker from the engine to IndexShard, where it better fits logically: Tracking the global checkpoint based on the local checkpoints of all shards in the replication group is not a property of the engine, but rather a property fulfilled by the current primary shard. The LocalCheckpointTracker on the other hand is driven by the contents of the local translog. By moving GlobalCheckpointTracker to IndexShard, it makes little sense to keep the SequenceNumbersService class around - it would only wrap the LocalCheckpointTracker. This commit therefore removes the class and replaces occurrences of SequenceNumbersService in the engine directly by LocalCheckpointTracker.
Any CLI commands that depend on core Elasticsearch might touch classes
(directly or indirectly) that depends on logging. If they do this and
logging is not configured, Log4j will dump status error messages to the
console. As such, we need to ensure that any such CLI command configures
logging (with a trivial configuration that dumps log messages to the
console). Previously we did this in the base CLI command but with the
refactoring of this class out of core Elasticsearch, we no longer
configure logging there (since we did not want this class to depend on
settings and logging). However, this meant for some CLI commands (like
the plugin CLI) we were no longer configuring logging. This commit adds
base classes between the low-level command and multi-command classes
that ensure that logging is configured. Any CLI command that depends on
core Elasticsearch should use this infrastructure to ensure logging is
configured. There is one exception to this: Elasticsearch itself because
it takes reponsibility into its own hands for configuring logging from
Elasticsearch settings and log4j2.properties. We preserve this special
status.

Projects the depend on the CLI currently depend on core. This should not

If an out of memory error is thrown while merging, today we quietly
rewrap it into a merge exception and the out of memory error is
lost. Instead, we need to rethrow out of memory errors, and in fact any
fatal error here, and let those go uncaught so that the node is torn
down. This commit causes this to be the case.

The warnings headers have a fairly limited set of valid characters
(cf. quoted-text in RFC 7230). While we have assertions that we adhere
to this set of valid characters ensuring that our warning messages do
not violate the specificaion, we were neglecting the possibility that
arbitrary user input would trickle into these warning headers. Thus,
missing here was tests for these situations and encoding of characters
that appear outside the set of valid characters. This commit addresses
this by encoding any characters in a deprecation message that are not
from the set of valid characters.

Only tests should use the single argument Environment constructor. To
enforce this the single arg Environment constructor has been replaced with
a test framework factory method.
Production code (beyond initial Bootstrap) should always use the same
Environment object that Node.getEnvironment() returns. This Environment
is also available via dependency injection.
Today we return a `String[]` that requires copying values for every
access. Yet, we already store the setting as a list so we can also directly
return the unmodifiable list directly. This makes list / array access in settings
a much cheaper operation especially if lists are large.
Since `#getAsMap` exposes internal representation we are trying to remove it
step by step. This commit is cleaning up some xcontent writing as well as
usage in tests
This commit refactors the bootstrap checks into a single result object
that encapsulates whether or not the check passed, and a failure message
if the check failed. This simpifies the checks, and enables the messages

check passed.

This exposes the node settings and the persistent part of the cluster state to the

This commit removes the keystore creation on elasticsearch startup, and

This commit adds the nio transport as an option in place of the mock tcp

When ES starts up we verify we can write to all data folders and that they support atomic moves. We do so by creating and deleting temp files. If for some reason the files was successfully created but not successfully deleted, we still shut down correctly but subsequent start attempts will fail with a file already exists exception.
This commit makes sure to first clean any existing temporary files.

This commit removes some useless empty lines checks from the evil JNA
tests. These empty lines checks are useless because if the lines are

This commit fixes tests for environment-aware commands. A previous
change added a check that es.path.conf is not null. The problem is that
this system property is not being set in tests so this check trips every
single time. To fix this, we move the check into a method that can be
overridden, and then override this method in relevant places in tests to
avoid having to set the property in tests. We also add a test that this
check works as expected.
This commit enables the console appender for the settings deprecation
logger used in the deprecated settings logging test. This output will be

Duplicate data paths already fail to work because we would attempt to
take out a node lock on the directory a second time which will fail
after the first lock attempt succeeds. However, how this failure

debug. Instead, we should explicitly reject duplicate data paths to make
the failure cause more obvious.
Relates #25178
We have a custom logger implementation known as a prefix logger that is
used to write every message by the logger with a given prefix. This is
useful for node-level, index-level, and shard-level messages where we
want to log the node name, index name, and shard ID, respectively, if
possible. The mechanism that we employ is that of a marker. Log4j has a
built-in facility for managing these markers, but its effectively a
memory leak because these markers are held in a map and can never be
released. This is problematic for us since indices and shards do not
necessarily have infinite life spans and so on a node where there are
many indices being creted and destroyed, this infinite lifespan can be a
problem indeed. To solve this, we use our own cache of markers. This is
necessary to prevent too many instances of the marker for the same
prefix from being created (just think of all the shard-level components
that exist in the system), and to workaround the effective leak in
Log4j. These markers are stored as weak references in a weak hash
map. It is these weak references that are unneeded. When a key is
removed from a weak hash map, the corresponding entry is placed on a
reference queue that is eventually cleared. This commit simplifies
prefix logger by removing this unnecessary weak reference wrapper.

The plugin cli currently resides inside the elasticsearch jar. This
commit moves it into a plugin-cli jar. This is change alone is a no-op;
it does not change anything about what is loaded at runtime. But it will
allow easier testing (with fixtures in the future to test ES or maven
installation), as well as eventually not loading these classes when
starting elasticsearch.
This leniency was left in after plugin installer refactoring for 2.0
because some tests still relied on it. However, the need for this
leniency no longer exists.
These tests were marked as awaits fix due to JNA requiring a version of
glibc greater than or equal to version 2.14. Since we still support
systems that would not have this version, we have released our own JNA
dependency that is built to support earlier versions of glibc. This
commit removes some await fixes that were added to tests that failed as
a result of this situation.
It can easily happen that we touch a logger before logging is configured
due to chains of static intializers and other such scenarios. This

touch a logger before logging is configured. This is a bug that will

For certain situations, end-users need the base path for Elasticsearch
logs. Exposing this as a property is better than hard-coding the path
into the logging configuration file as otherwise the logging
configuration file could easily diverge from the Elasticsearch
configuration file. Additionally, Elasticsearch will only have
permissions to write to the log directory configured in the
Elasticsearch configuration file. This commit adds a property that
exposes this base path.
One use-case for this is configuring a rollover strategy to retain logs
for a certain period of time. As such, we add an example of this to the
documentation.
Additionally, we expose the property es.logs.cluster_name as this is
used as the name of the log files in the default configuration.
Finally, we expose es.logs.node_name in cases where node.name is
explicitly set in case users want to include the node name as part of
the name of the log files.

When logger.level is set, we end up configuring a logger named "level"

configuring a logger named level.

This commit removes a logging test that is now obsolete. This test was
added when we included a forked version of some Log4j 2 classes to
workaround a bug in Log4j 2. This bug was fixed and a version of Log4j 2
incorporating this fix was previously integrated into Elaticsearch. At
that time, the forked versions were removed, and this test should have
been removed with it.
This change is the first towards providing the ability to store
sensitive settings in elasticsearch. It adds the
`elasticsearch-keystore` tool, which allows managing a java keystore.
The keystore is loaded upon node startup in Elasticsearch, and used by
the Setting infrastructure when a setting is configured as secure.
There are a lot of caveats to this PR. The most important is it only
provides the tool and setting infrastructure for secure strings. It does
not yet provide for keystore passwords, keypairs, certificates, or even
convert any existing string settings to secure string settings. Those
will all come in follow up PRs. But this PR was already too big, so this
at least gets a basic version of the infrastructure in.
The two main things to look at. The first is the `SecureSetting` class,
which extends `Setting`, but removes the assumption for the raw value of the
setting to be a string. SecureSetting provides, for now, a single
helper, `stringSetting()` to create a SecureSetting which will return a
SecureString (which is like String, but is closeable, so that the
underlying character array can be cleared). The second is the
`KeyStoreWrapper` class, which wraps the java `KeyStore` to provide a
simpler api (we do not need the entire keystore api) and also extend
the serialized format to add metadata needed for loading the keystore
with no assumptions about keystore type (so that we can change this in
the future) as well as whether the keystore has a password (so that we
can know whether prompting is necessary when we add support for keystore
passwords).
Today if an older version of a plugin exists, we fail to notify the user
with a helpful error message. This happens because during plugin
verification, we attempt to read the plugin descriptors for all existing
plugins. When an older version of a plugin is sitting on disk, we will
attempt to read this old plugin descriptor and fail due to a version
mismatch. This leads to an unhelpful error message. Instead, we should
check for existence of the plugin as part of the verification phase, but
before attempting to read plugin descriptors for existing plugins. This
enables us to provide a helpful error message to the user.

* Internal: Refactor SettingCommand into EnvironmentAwareCommand
This change renames and changes the behavior of SettingCommand to have
its primary method take in a fully initialized Environment for
elasticsearch instead of just a map of settings. All of the subclasses
of SettingCommand already did this at some point, so this just removes
duplication.
We are currenlty checking that no deprecation warnings are emitted in our query tests. That can be moved to ESTestCase (disabled in ESIntegTestCase) as it allows us to easily catch where our tests use deprecated features and assert on the expected warnings.
Today in the codebase we refer to seccomp everywhere instead of system
call filter even if we are not specifically referring to Linux. This
commit is a purely mechanical change to refer to system call filter
where appropriate instead of the general seccomp, and only leaves
seccomp in place when actually referring to the Linux implementation.

* Scripting: Remove groovy scripting language
Groovy was deprecated in 5.0. This change removes it, along with the
legacy default language infrastructure in scripting.
This changes adds a test discovery (which internally uses the existing
mock zenping by default). Having the mock the test framework selects be a discovery
greatly simplifies discovery setup (no more weird callback to a Node
method).
Today if you start Elasticsearch with the status logger configured to
the warn level, or use a transport client with the default status logger
level, you will see warn messages about deprecation loggers being
created with different message factories and that formatting might be
broken. This happens because the deprecation logger is constructed using
the message factory from its parent, an artifact leftover from the first
Log4j 2 implementation that used a custom message factory. When that
custom message factory was removed, this constructor invocation should
have been changed to not explicitly use the message factory from the
parent. This commit fixes this invocation. However, we also had some
status checking to all tests to ensure that there are no warn status log
messages that might indicate a configuration problem with Log4j 2. These
assertions blow up badly without the fix for the deprecation logger
construction, and also caught a misconfiguration in one of the logging
tests.

Plugins: Remove pluggability of ZenPing
ZenPing is the part of zen discovery which knows how to ping nodes.
There is only one alternative implementation, which is just for testing.
This change removes the ability to add custom zen pings, and instead
hooks in the MockZenPing for tests through an overridden method in
MockNode. This also folds in the ZenPingService (which was really just a
single method) into ZenDiscovery, and removes the idea of having
multiple ZenPing instances. Finally, this was the last usage of the
ExtensionPoint classes, so that is also removed here.
`LocalDiscovery` is a discovery implementation that uses static in memory maps to keep track of current live nodes. This is used extensively in our tests in order to speed up cluster formation (i.e., shortcut the 3 second ping period used by `ZenDiscovery` by default). This is sad as that mean that most of the test run using a different discovery semantics than what is used in production. Instead of replacing the entire discovery logic, we can use a similar approach to only shortcut the pinging components.
This change proposes the removal of all non-tcp transport implementations. The
mock transport can be used by default to run tests instead of local transport that has
roughly the same performance compared to TCP or at least not noticeably slower.
This is a master only change, deprecation notice in 5.x will be committed as a
separate change.
this change adds a hard limit to `index.number_of_shard` that prevents
indices from being created that have more than 1024 shards. This is still
a huge limit and can only be changed via settings a system property.
Today when executing the install plugin command without a plugin id, we

The Log4j shutdown hack test tests that a hack we have in place to
workaround a bug in Log4j during shutdown is effective. Log4j can use
JMX to control logging levels, but we disable this through the use of a
system property log4j2.disable.jmx (mainly because there is no need for
this feature, but it also means granting additional security
permissions). The bug in Log4j is that during shutdown, it neglects to
check whether or not its usage of JMX is disable and so it attempts to
unregister management beans, leading to a permissions violation. The
test works by attempting to shutdown Log4j and thus triggering the bad
code path. With the Log4j hack in place, we have introduced jar hell so
that its our code running instead of code from the Log4j jar. Our code
correctly checks that the usage of JMX is disabled and thus does not
trip on a permissions violation. The test was a little complicated in
that it attempted to just grant the minimal permissions needed for Log4j
to do its thing, but this can sometimes lead to other unwanted
permissions violations because the permissions put in place are more
restrictive necessary. This commit simplifies this situation by
rewriting the test to only deny Log4j the sole permission needed to
trigger the bug.
Relates #20476
Today when setting the logging level via the command-line or an API
call, the expectation is that the logging level should trickle down the
hiearchy to descendant loggers. However, this is not necessarily the
case. For example, if loggers x and x.y are already configured then
setting the logging level on x will not descend to x.y. This is because
the logging config for x.y has already been forked from the logging
config for x. Therefore, we must explicitly descend the hierarchy when
setting the logging level and that is what this commit does.
Relates #20463
Today we add a prefix when logging within Elasticsearch. This prefix
contains the node name, and index and shard-level components if
appropriate.
Due to some implementation details with Log4j 2 , this does not work for
integration tests; instead what we see is the node name for the last
node to startup. The implementation detail here is that Log4j 2 there is
only one logger for a name, message factory pair, and the key derived
from the message factory is the class name of the message factory. So,
when the last node starts up and starts setting prefixes on its message
factories, it will impact the loggers for the other nodes.
Additionally, the prefixes are lost when logging an exception. This is
due to another implementation detail in Log4j 2. Namely, since we log
exceptions using a parameterized message, Log4j 2 decides that that
means that we do not want to use the message factory that we have
provided (the prefix message factory) and so logs the exception without
the prefix.
This commit fixes both of these issues.

This commit adds a -q/--quiet option to Elasticsearch so that it does not log anything in the console and closes stdout & stderr streams.

The evil logger tests rely on external configuration. This configuration
is shared between these tests which means that changing the
configuration for one test can cause an unrelated test to fail. In
particular, removing the appenders on the root logger so that inherited
loggers in one test do not have a console and file appender by default
breaks tests that were expecting the root logger to have these
appenders. This commit separates these configs so that these tests are
not subject to this problem.
Log4j has a bug where on shutdown it ignores that JMX might be disabled;
since it does not respect this on shutdown, it proceeds to attempt to
access JMX leading to a security exception that should have otherwise
not occurred had it respected that JMX is disabled. This commit
intentionally introduces jar hell with the Server class to work around
this bug until a fix is released.
