This commit removes the extra layer of all plugin files existing under
"elasticsearch" within plugin zips. This simplifies building plugin zips
and removes the need for special logic of modules vs plugins.
When Elasticsearch is run as a service we should not use the console
logger otherwise we end up duplicating logging (to the Elasticsearch
logs and whereever standard output is captured). Previously we disabled
the console logger when started as a service using systemd (otherwise
the console logs are duplicated to the journal). This commit does the
same for the Windows service, starting Elasticsearch with the --quiet
flag to avoid standard output being written to the service stdout logs.

Generalizing BWC building so that there is less code to modify for a release. This ensures we do not
need to think about what major or minor version is in the gradle code. It follows the general rules of the
elastic release structure. For more information on the rules, see the VersionCollection's javadoc.
This also removes the additional bwc snapshots that will never be released, such as 6.0.2, which were
being built and tested against every time we ran bwc tests.
Additionally, it creates 4 new projects that correspond to the different types of snapshots that may exist
for a given version. Its possible to now run those individual tasks to work out bwc logic whereas
previously it was impossible and the entire suite of bwc tests had to be run to work out any logic
changes in the build tools' bwc project. Please note that if the project does not make sense for the
version that is current, that an error will be thrown from that individual project if an attempt is made to
run it.
This should allow for automating the version bumps as well, since it removes all the hardcoded version
logic from the configs.
When elasticsearch was originally moved to gradle, the "provided" equivalent in maven had to be done through a plugin. Since then, gradle added the "compileOnly" configuration. This commit removes the provided plugin and replaces all uses with compileOnly.
Plugin descriptors currently contain an elasticsearch version,
which the plugin was built against, and a java version, which the plugin
was built with. These versions are read and validated, but not stored.
This commit keeps them in PluginInfo so they can be used later.
While seeing the elasticsearch version is less interesting (since it is
enforced to match that of the running elasticsearc node), the java
version is interesting since we only validate the format, not the actual
version. This also makes PluginInfo have full parity with the plugin
properties file.
We now read the plugin descriptor when removing an old plugin. This is
to check if we are removing a plugin that is extended by another
plugin. However, when reading the descriptor we enforce that it is of
the same version that we are. This is not the case when a user has
upgraded Elasticsearch and is now trying to remove an old plugin. This
commit fixes this by skipping the version enforcement when reading the
plugin descriptor only when removing a plugin.

This commit switches the internal format of the elasticsearch keystore
to no longer use java's KeyStore class, but instead encrypt the binary
data of the secrets using AES-GCM. The cipher key is generated using
PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512. Tests are also added for backcompat reading the v1
and v2 formats.
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.
In order to build a plugin that extends the painless whitelist, the spi
classes must be available to the plugin at compile time. This commit
moves the spi classes into a separate jar which will be published. Any
plugin authors whiching to extend painless through spi would then add a
compileOnly dependency on this jar.
Meta plugins move the unzipped plugin as is, but the inner plugins may
have a different directory name than their corresponding plugin
properties file specifies. This commit fixes installation to rename the
directory if necessary.
This commit modifies the build to require JDK 9 for
compilation. Henceforth, we will compile with a JDK 9 compiler targeting
JDK 8 as the class file format. Optionally, RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME can be set
as the runtime JDK used for running tests. To enable this change, we
separate the meaning of the compiler Java home versus the runtime Java
home. If the runtime Java home is not set (via RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME) then
we fallback to using JAVA_HOME as the runtime Java home. This enables:
- developers only have to set one Java home (JAVA_HOME)
- developers can set an optional Java home (RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME) to test
on the minimum supported runtime
- we can test compiling with JDK 9 running on JDK 8 and compiling with
JDK 9 running on JDK 9 in CI
* This change makes sure that we don't detect a file path containing a ':' as
a maven coordinate (e.g.: `file:C:\path\to\zip`)

This change modifies the installation for a meta plugin,
the content of the config and bin directory inside each bundled plugins are now moved in the meta plugin directory.
So instead of `$configDir/meta-plugin-name/bundled_plugin/name/` the content of the config
for a bundled plugin is now in `$configDir/meta-plugin-name`. Same applies for the bin directory.
This commit adds the ability to package multiple plugins in a single zip.
The zip file for a meta plugin must contains the following structure:
|____elasticsearch/
| |____ <plugin1> <-- The plugin files for plugin1 (the content of the elastisearch directory)
| |____ <plugin2> <-- The plugin files for plugin2
| |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties <-- example contents below
The meta plugin properties descriptor is mandatory and must contain the following properties:
description: simple summary of the meta plugin.
name: the meta plugin name
The installation process installs each plugin in a sub-folder inside the meta plugin directory.
The example above would create the following structure in the plugins directory:
|_____ plugins
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
If the sub plugins contain a config or a bin directory, they are copied in a sub folder inside the meta plugin config/bin directory.
|_____ config
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
|_____ bin
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
The sub-plugins are loaded at startup like normal plugins with the same restrictions; they have a separate class loader and a sub-plugin
cannot have the same name than another plugin (or a sub-plugin inside another meta plugin).
It is also not possible to remove a sub-plugin inside a meta plugin, only full removal of the meta plugin is allowed.

Otherwise newer versions of Gradle will see the outputs as stale and
remove the directory between having created the directory and copying
files into the directory (leading to the directory being created again,
this time missing some sub-directories).
This commit modifies the BWC build to invoke the Gradle wrapper. The
motivation for this is two-fold:
- BWC versions might be dependent on a different version of Gradle than
the current version of Gradle
- in a follow-up we are going to need to be able to set JAVA_HOME to a
different value than the current value of JAVA_HOME

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).
* Adds task dependenciesInfo to BuildPlugin to generate a CSV file with dependencies information (name,version,url,license)

When running the release tests, we set build.snapshot to false and this
causes all version numbers to not have "-SNAPSHOT". This is true even
for the tips of the branches (e.g., currently 5.6.6 on the 5.6
branch). Yet, if we do not set snapshot to false, then we would still be
trying to find artifacts with "-SNAPSHOT" appended which would not have
been build since build.snapshot is false. To fix this, we have to push
build.snapshot into the version logic.

We have tests that manually unpackage the RPM and Debian package
distributions and start a cluster manually (not from the service) and
run a basic suite of integration tests against them. This is problematic
because it is not how the packages are intended to be used (instead,
they are intended to be installed using the package installation tools,
and started as services) and so violates assumptions that we make about
directory paths. This commit removes these integration tests, instead
relying on the packaging tests to ensure the packages are not
broken. Additionally, we add a sanity check that the package
distributions can be unpackaged. Finally, with this change we can remove
some leniency from elasticsearch-env about checking for the existence of
the environment file which the leniency was there solely for these
integration tests.

JDK 9 has removed JVM options that were valid in JDK 8 (e.g., GC logging
flags) and replaced them with new flags that are not available in JDK
8. This means that a single JVM options file can no longer apply to JDK
8 and JDK 9, complicating development, complicating our packaging story,
and complicating operations. This commit extends the JVM options syntax
to specify the range of versions the option applies to. If the running
JVM matches the range of versions, the flag will be used to start the
JVM otherwise the flag will be ignored.
We implement this parser in Java for simplicity, and with this we start
our first step towards a Java launcher.

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.

This commit adjusts the format of the SHA-512 checksum files supported

protecting this echo statement by wrapping the possibly offending path
in quotes.

* Removes minimum master nodes default number
At the moment the elasticsearch.yml contains the minimum master node setting commented out but with a value of 3. This has lead to users uncommenting the value and assuming it is a good default without reading that they need to change it to a quorum of master eligible nodes causing split brain in their cluster and defeating the point of the setting.
The default of 3 is not even a good default for our recommended setup of 3 dedicated master eligible nodes.
This changes the value o fthe commented out setting to something that will not produce valid config and should highlight that the value needs to be changed so users no longer uncomment the line without considering what the correct value for their setup should be.
* Addresses review comment
The JVM defaults to dumping the heap to the working directory of
Elasticsearch. For the RPM and Debian packages, this location is
/usr/share/elasticsearch. This directory is not writable by the
elasticsearch user, so by default heap dumps in this situation are
lost. This commit modifies the packaging for the RPM and Debian packages
to set the heap dump path to /var/lib/elasticsearch as the default
location for dumping the heap. This location is writable by the
elasticsearch user by default. We add documentation of this important
setting if /var/lib/elasticsearch is not suitable for receiving heap
dumps.

The output when building bwc versions is currently verbose, with git

When creating the keystore explicitly (from executing
elasticsearch-keystore create) or implicitly (for plugins that require
the keystore to be created on install) on an Elasticsearch package
installation, we are running as the root user. This leaves
/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.keystore having the wrong ownership
(root:root) so that the elasticsearch user can not read the keystore on
startup. This commit adds setgid to /etc/elasticsearch on package
installation so that when executing this directory (as we would when
creating the keystore), we will end up with the correct ownership
(root:elasticsearch). Additionally, we set the permissions on the
keystore to be 660 so that the elasticsearch user via its group can read
this file on startup.

At current, we do not feel there is enough of a reason to shade the low

This commit makes the security code aware of the Java 9 FilePermission changes (see #21534) and allows us to remove the `jdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath` system property.
When Elasticsearch starts up, it tries to create a keystore if one does
not exist; this is so the keystore can be seeded. With the RPM and
Debian packages, the keystore would be located in
/etc/elasticsearch. This configuration directory is typically not
writable by the elasticsearch user so the Elasticsearch process will not
have permission to create the keystore. Instead, the RPM and Debian
packages should create the keystore (if it does not exist) on package
installation. This commit enables these packages to do that in the
post-install routines.

We previously explicitly set the HOSTNAME environment variable so that
${HOSTNAME} could be used a placeholder for defining the node.name in
elasticsearch.yml. We removed explicitly setting this because bash
defines HOSTNAME. The problem is that bash defines HOSTNAME as a bash
variable, not as an environment variable. Therefore, to restore the
previous behavior, we export the bash value for HOSTNAME as an
environment variable named HOSTNAME. For consistency between Windows and
the Unix-like systems, we also define HOSTNAME with a value equal to the
environment variable COMPUTERNAME on Windows.

We quoted some strings in the Windows elasticsearch-env script but echo
on Windows includes these quotes in the output. This commit removes
these quotes, they do not need to be output and are noise. Note that one
of the commands is wrapped in parentheses, this is to make obvious that
the space at the end of the corresponding line is intentionally there.
The error message for warning about the use of JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS on
Windows incorrectly uses $JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS to dereference the
environment variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS; on Windows it should be
%JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS%.
This instruction tells systemd to create a directory /var/run/elasticsearch before starting Elasticsearch.
Without this change, the default PID_DIR (/var/run/elasticsearch) may not exist, and without it, Elasticsearch will fail to start.
The environment variable CONF_DIR was previously inconsistently used in
our packaging to customize the location of Elasticsearch configuration
files. The importance of this environment variable has increased
starting in 6.0.0 as it's now used consistently to ensure Elasticsearch

same configuration. The name CONF_DIR is there for legacy reasons yet
it's too generic. This commit renames CONF_DIR to ES_PATH_CONF.

Today our shell scripts march on if they encounter an error during
execution. One place that this actually causes a problem is with the
Java version checker. What can happen is this: if the user botches their
installation so that the JavaVersionChecker can not be found on the
classpath, when we attempt to run the Java version checker, first an
error message that the class can not be found is displayed, and then we
print a message that their version of Java is not compatible; this
happens even if they are using a Java 8 installation. The problem is
that we should have immediately aborted when the class could not be
loaded. Since we do not exit when the shell script encounters an error,
we end up conflating failue to run the version check with a failed
version check. Instead, we really should abort the moment that one of
our scripts encounters an error. To do this, we make the following
changes:
- enable set -e and set -o pipefail
- make the Java version checker responsible for printing the error
message to the console
- remove the exit status check from the scripts
- actually on Windows, we still have to check the exit status because
there is no equivalent of set -e
- when we check for daemonization, we can no longer check the exit
status from grep because a failed grep will abort the script;
instead, we move the grep execution to be the condition for the if as
this does not trip the set -e failure conditions
- we should source elasticsearch-env before doing anything, so we move
the definition of parse_jvm_options below sourcing elasticsearch-env
- we make consistent all places where we use a subshell to use
backticks

We have a bootstrap check for the maximum size of the virtual memory

On non-Windows platforms, we ignore the environment variable
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS (this is an environment variable that the JVM respects
by default for picking up extra JVM options). The primary reason that we
ignore this because of the Jayatana agent on Ubuntu; a secondary reason
is that it produces an annoying "Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: ..."
output message. When the elasticsearch-env batch script was introduced
for Windows, ignoring this environment variable was deliberately not
carried over as the primary reason does not apply on Windows. However,
after additional thinking, it seems that we should simply be consistent
to the extent possible here (and also avoid that annoying "Picked up
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: ..." on Windows too). This commit causes the Windows
version of elasticsearch-env to also ignore JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS.

Today we strip some ignored JVM options before starting the main Java
process (e.g., we unset JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, and we ignore
JAVA_OPTS). However, there is another Java process that we start before
starting the main process: the Java version checker. We are currently
starting this before ignoring the undesired JVM options so the Java
version checker will pick up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and it will silently
ignore JAVA_OPTS. Instead, we should ignore JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS here too,
and not silently ignore JAVA_OPTS but instead warn before doing so (as
we already do for the main Java process). This commit rearranges the
execution of these steps so that we do the right thing here.

This commit removes a legacy check against running bin/elasticsearch
that is not produced from a distribution. This check exists for legacy
reasons, namely when bin/elasticsearch previously sat in the root of the
Elasticsearch repository. In this old scenario, someone might clone the
repository, see the bin folder and try to run bin/elasticsearch without
first production a distribution. Today, this is unlikely since
bin/elasticsearch now sits in
distribution/src/main/resources/bin/elasticsearch so first, bin is no
longer in the root of the repository, and second, the src indicates this
is source and not already for production. Moreover, our README in the
root of the repository provides clear instructions for getting started:
either download a distribution or build one from source. In the name of
simplicity, we therefore remove this legacy check.

This commit cleans up a few items with the script packaging:
- remove the now dead elasticsearch.in.sh script
- add assertions for the existence elasticsearch-env and
elasticsearch-keystore
This commit addresses a change in core Elasticsearch where the
command-line flag --path.conf is no longer respected. Instead, the
configuration path must be passed through the system property
es.path.conf. We adapt the Windows batch file and the service for this
change.
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.
A previous change enabled it so that users could configure the
configuration path via a command-line option --path.conf. However, a
subsequent change has made it so that we expect users to set the
configuration path via the environment variable CONF_DIR. To enable
this, we now pass the value of CONF_DIR as the value for the
command-line option --path.conf. This has two problems:
- the presence of --path.conf always being on the command line breaks
other flags like --help for multi-commands
- the scripts for which --help is not broken say that you can pass
--path.conf but this is a lie since passing it will make it appear
twice in the command-line arguments breaking the script
Since --path.conf is no longer the way that we want users to set the
configuration path, we should remove the --path.conf option. However, we
still need a way to get the configuration path from the scripts to the
running Java process. To do this, we now pass the configuration path as
a system property. This keeps it off the script command line fixing the
above problems.
The only remaining question (that I can see) is whether or not to
respect -Des.path.conf=<some path> if the user sets this in their
jvm.options or via ES_JAVA_OPTS. I think that we should not do this (as
has been our tradition), es.path.home and es.path.conf are special,
should be set by our scripts only so users should not be setting them at
all so we should not take any effort to respect these flags if the user
tries to otherwise use them.
Relates #25943
When running a script that depends on elasticsearch-env, the
elasticsearch-env script seeks backwards from the directory containing
the script to find Elasticsearch home. This is done by seeking backwards
in the path to find bin, and then going one directory above
that. Unfortunately, if the script is started relatively from the bin
directory, then bin will appear in the path since it is a relative
path. This commit fixes this by making the starting path absolute before
attempting to seek backwards.
This commit removes all external dependencies from the rest client jar
and shades them in an 'org.elasticsearch.client' package within the jar
using shadowJar gradle plugin. All projects that depended on the
existing jar have been converted to using the 'org.elasticsearch.client'
package prefixes to interact with the rest client.
Closes#25208
The quoting for the ExecStart entry is broken as quotes must wrap an
entire argument, and arguments are separated by spaces. It turns out
that any quoting is unnecessary here, systemd will handle it correctly
either way.
This commit introduces the elasticsearch-env script. The purpose of this
script is threefold:
- vastly simplify the various scripts used in Elasticsearch
- provide a script that can be included in other scripts in the
Elasticsearch ecosystem (e.g., plugins)
- correctly establish the environment for all scripts (e.g., so that
users can run `elasticsearch-keystore` from a package distribution
without having to worry about setting `CONF_DIR` first, otherwise the
keystore would be created in the wrong location)
Relates #25815
This commit fixes the elasticsearch-keystore script handling of
path.conf; the problem here is that the script is setting a system
property that is completely unobserved. Instead, we use the path.conf
command line flag.

This commit removes legacy checks for unsupported an environment
variable and unsupported system properties. This environment variable
and these system properties have not been supported since 1.x so it is
safe to stop checking for the existence of these settings.

Today we explicitly export the HOSTNAME variable from scripts. This is
probably a relic from the days when the scripts were not run on bash but
instead assume a POSIX-compliant shell only where HOSTNAME is not
guaranteed to exist. Yet, bash guarantees that HOSTNAME is set so we do
not need to set it in scripts. This commit removes this legacy.
Relates #25807
Today we enable users to customize the environment through the use of
ES_INCLUDE. This made sense for legacy reasons when we did not have
nicities like jvm.options (so dumped JVM options in the default include
script) and somewhat duplicates some of the functionality that we will
need from a dedicated environment script. This commit removes support
for ES_INCLUDE as a first step towards a dedicated include script.

The problem here is simple: when using direct buffers as in NIO, the JDK
relies on explict GC invocataions to trigger cleaning up direct buffers;
if such GCs do not occur and the direct buffer limit is reached, the JVM
will throw an out of memory exception. With explicit GCs disabled, the
JVM is neutered from explicitly cleaning up direct buffers in the act of
reserving a new direct buffer and instead relies on a GC occurring for
another reason. If such a GC never occurs, the JVM will OOM. This commit
removes disabling of explicit GCs. Note that these explicit GCs only
occur as a last ditch effort before going OOM when the JVM is trying to
reserve more direct memory. This is a known issue, see for example:
JDK-8142537.

This commit changes the default heap size to 1 GB. Experimenting with
elasticsearch is often done on laptops, and 1 GB is much friendlier to
laptop memory. It does put more pressure on the gc, but the tradeoff is
a smaller default footprint. Users running in production can (and
should) adjust the heap size as necessary for their usecase.
This commit enables management of the main Elasticsearch log files
out-of-the-box by the following changes:
- compress rolled logs
- roll logs every 128 MB
- maintain a sliding window of logs
- remove the oldest logs maintaining no more than 2 GB of compressed
logs on disk

This commit removes the environment variable ES_JVM_OPTIONS that allows
the jvm.options file to sit separately from the rest of the config
directory. Instead, we use the CONF_DIR environment variable for custom
configuration location just as we do for the other configuration files.
Relates #25679
On Debian-based systems the install scripts are run with set -e meaning
that if there is an error in executing one of these scripts then the
script fails. If systemd-sysctl is masked then trying to restart the
systemd-sysctl service to pick up the changes to vm.max_map_count will
fail leading to the post-install script failing. Instead, we should
account for the possbility of failure here by not letting the command to
restart this service exit with non-zero status code. This commit does
this, and adds a test for this situation.

This is a regression introduced in #25510, which removed the explicit fetching of upstream. Sadly this doesn't work if you don't have any local branch referring to `upstream` as an upstream branch.
Some times we need a fix / change to have two parts in two different branches (corresponding to two different ES releases). In order to be able to test these cases you need to run the BWC tests against a local branch rather than then using a branch from `github.com/elastic/elasticsearch`.
This commit adds a system property called `tests.bwc.refspec` that allows you to do it. Note that I've chosen to go with the simplest code change for now, at the expense of some user friendliness.
We previously tried to maintain (while not formally supporting) 32-bit
support, although we never tested this anywhere in CI. Since we do not
formally support this, and 32-bit usage is very low, we have elected to
no longer maintain 32-bit support. This commit removes any implication
of 32-bit support.
Relates #25435
This commit removes the default path settings for data and logs. With
this change, we now ship the packages with these settings set in the
elasticsearch.yml configuration file rather than going through the
default.path.data and default.path.logs dance that we went through in
the past.

This commit removes path.conf as a valid setting and replaces it with a
command-line flag for specifying a non-default path for configuration.
