Painless uses Ruby-like method dispatch (reciever type, method name,
and arity) rather than Java-like (reciever type, method name, and
argument compile time types) or Groovy-like method dispatch (receiver
type, method name, and argument run time types). We do this for
mostly good reasons but we never documented it.
Relates to #22720
Implemented by wrapping an array of reused `ModuleDateTime`s that
we grow when needed. The `ModuleDateTime`s are reused when we
move to the next document.
Also improves the error message returned when attempting to modify
the `ScriptdocValues`, removes a couple of allocations, and documents
that the date functions are available in Painless.
Relates to #22162
Adds "Appending B. Painless API Reference", a reference of all classes
and methods available from Painless. Removes links to java packages
because they contain methods that we don't expose and don't contain
methods that we do expose (the ones in Augmentation). Instead this
generates a list of every class and every exposed method using the same
type information available to the
interpreter/compiler/whatever-we-call-it. From there you can jump to
the relevant docs.
Right now you build all the asciidoc files by running
```
gradle generatePainlessApi
```
These files are expected to be committed because we build the docs
without running `gradle`.
Also changes the output of `Debug.explain` so that it is easy to
search for the class in the generated reference documentation.
You can also run it in an IDE safely if you pass the path to the
directory in which to generate the docs as the first parameter. It'll
blow away the entire directory an recreate it from scratch so be careful.
And then you can build the docs by running something like:
```
../docs/build_docs.pl --out ../built_docs/ --doc docs/reference/index.asciidoc --open
```
That is, if you have checked out https://github.com/elastic/docs in
`../docs`. Wait a minute or two and your browser will pop open in with
all of Elasticsearch's reference documentation. If you go to
`http://localhost:8000/painless-api-reference.html` you can see this
list. Or you can get there by following the links to `Modules` and
`Scripting` and `Painless` and then clicking the link in the paragraphs
below titled `Appendix B. Painless API Reference`.
I like having these in asciidoc because we can deep link to them from the
rest of the guide with constructs like
`<<painless-api-reference-Object-hashCode-0>>` and
`<<painless-api-reference->>` and we get link checking. Then the only
brittle link maintenance bit is the link generation for javadoc. Which
sucks. But I think it is important that we link to the methods directly
so they are easy to find.
Relates to #22720
Rename `fields` to `stored_fields` and add `docvalue_fields`
`stored_fields` parameter will no longer try to retrieve fields from the _source but will only return stored fields.
`fields` will throw an exception if the user uses it.
Add `docvalue_fields` as an adjunct to `fielddata_fields` which is deprecated. `docvalue_fields` will try to load the value from the docvalue and fallback to fielddata cache if docvalues are not enabled on that field.
Closes#18943
These are useful methods in groovy that give you control over
the replacements used:
```
'the quick brown fox'.replaceAll(/[aeiou]/,
m -> m.group().toUpperCase(Locale.ROOT))
```
`stored_fields` parameter will no longer try to retrieve fields from the _source but will only return stored fields.
`fields` will throw an exception if the user uses it.
Add `docvalue_fields` as an adjunct to `fielddata_fields` which is deprecated. `docvalue_fields` will try to load the value from the docvalue and fallback to fielddata cache if docvalues are not enabled on that field.
Closes#18943
ES only sends a non-200 response all shards fail but we should
fail the tests generated by docs if any of them fail.
Depending on the outcome of #18978 this might be a temporary
workaround.
Painless: Add support for //m
Painless: Add support for //s
Painless: Add support for //i
Painless: Add support for //u
Painless: Add support for //U
Painless: Add support for //l
This means "literal" and is exposed for completeness sake with
the java api.
Painless: Add support for //c
c enables Java's CANON_EQ (canonical equivalence) flag which makes
unicode characters that are canonically equal match. Java's javadoc
gives "a\u030A" being equal to "\u00E5". That is that the "a" code
point followed by the "combining ring above" code point is equal to
the "a with combining ring above" code point.
Update docs and add multi-flag test
Whitelist most of the Pattern class.
Adds support for the find operator (=~) and the match operator (==~)
to painless's regexes. Also whitelists most of the Matcher class and
documents regex support in painless.
The find operator (=~) returns a boolean that is the result of building
a matcher on the lhs with the Pattern on the RHS and calling `find` on
it. Use it like this:
```
if (ctx._source.last =~ /b/)
```
The match operator (==~) returns boolean like find but instead of calling
`find` on the Matcher it calls `matches`.
```
if (ctx._source.last ==~ /[^aeiou].*[aeiou]/)
```
Finally, if you want the actual matcher you do:
```
Matcher m = /[aeiou]/.matcher(ctx._source.last)
```
Remove performance hack for accessing a document's fields, its not needed.
Add support for accessing is-getter methods like List.isEmpty() as .empty
Closes#18201
This gives better coverage and consistency with the scripting APIs, by
whitelisting the primary search scripting API classes and using them instead
of only Map and List methods.
For example, accessing fields can now be done with `.value` instead of `.0`
because `getValue()` is whitelisted. For now, access to a document's fields in
this way (loads) are fast-pathed in the code, to avoid dynamic overhead.
Access to geo fields and geo distance functions is now supported.
TODO: date support (e.g. whitelist ReadableDateTime methods as a start)
TODO: improve docs (like expressions and groovy have for document's fields)

Painless: add fielddata accessors (.value/.values/.distance()/etc)
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
* Reorganize scripting documentation
* Further changes to tidy up scripting docs
Closes#18116
* Add note about .lat/lon potentially returning null
* Added .value to expressions example
* Fixed two bad ASCIIDOC links
