Changes:
* Adds the `number_of_routing_shards` index setting to index modules docs.
* Updates the split API docs to mention that `number_of_routing_shards`
is a static setting.
Today there are a few places in the transport layer docs where we talk
about communication between nodes _within a cluster_. We also use the
transport layer for remote cluster connections, and these statements
also apply there, but this is not clear from today's docs. This commit
generalises these statements to make it clear that they apply to remote
cluster connections too.
It also adds a link from the docs on configuring TCP retries to the
(deeply-buried) docs on preserving long-lived connections.
This feature adds a new `fields` parameter to the search request, which
consults both the document `_source` and the mappings to fetch fields in a
consistent way. The PR merges the `field-retrieval` feature branch.
Addresses #49028 and #55363.
Transport connections between nodes remain in place until one or other
node shuts down or the connection is disrupted by a flaky network.
Today it is very difficult to demonstrate that transient failures and
cluster instability are caused by the network even though this is often
the case. In particular, transport connections open and close without
logging anything, even at `DEBUG` level, making it very hard to quantify
the scale of the problem or to correlate the networking problems with
external events.
This commit adds the missing `DEBUG`-level logging when transport
connections open and close, and also tracks the total number of
transport connections a node has opened as a measure of the stability of
the underlying network.
* Adds table with icons for simplicity.
* Updating table for clarity.
* Changing table formatting and incorporating more feedback.
* Changing table alignment.
Keepalive options are not well-documented (only in transport section, although also available at http and network level).

keepalives tell any intermediate devices that the connection remains alive, which helps with overzealous firewalls that are
killing idle connections. keepalives are enabled by default in Elasticsearch, but use system defaults for their
configuration, which often times do not have reasonable defaults (e.g. 7200s for TCP_KEEP_IDLE) in the context of
distributed systems such as Elasticsearch.
This PR sets the socket-level keep_alive options for network.tcp.{keep_idle,keep_interval} to 5 minutes on configurations
that support it (>= Java 11 & (MacOS || Linux)) and where the system defaults are set to something higher than 5
minutes. This helps keep the connections alive while not interfering with system defaults or user-specified settings
unless they are deemed to be set too high by providing better out-of-the-box defaults.
Moves the search sort docs from the deprecated 'Request Body Search'
page to a new subpage of 'Run a search'.
No substantive changes were made to the content.
This PR contains the deprecation notice that `create`, `create_doc`, `index` and
`write` ingest privileges do not permit mapping updates in version 8. It also
updates the docs description of said privileges.
This should've been part of #58784
This improves modularity and also fixes some issues when `docvalues_fields` is
used within `inner_hits` or the `top_hits` agg:
* We previously didn't resolve wildcards in field names.
* We also forgot to enforce the limit `index.max_docvalue_fields_search`.
This page previously documented `xpack.sql.enabled`.
However, in 7.8 and above, `xpack.sql.enabled` is always enabled and
the setting has no effect. There is no reason to maintain this page.
* Adding new page for restore snapshot API.
* Improving test cases, lots of edits, and streamlining content.
* Incorporating review suggestions and feedback.
* Specify `index alias` vs `alias`
* Change parameter order
* Provide clarity around regular expression
* Add link to SLM parameters
* Split sentences in example
* Adding link to master node page.
