* [ML] adding prediction_field_type to inference config (#55128)
Data frame analytics dynamically determines the classification field type. This field type then dictates the encoded JSON that is written to Elasticsearch.
Inference needs to know about this field type so that it may provide the EXACT SAME predicted values as analytics.
Here is added a new field `prediction_field_type` which indicates the desired type. Options are: `string` (DEFAULT), `number`, `boolean` (where close_to(1.0) == true, false otherwise).
Analytics provides the default `prediction_field_type` when the model is created from the process.
Updates the supported upgrade path table in [Upgrade Elasticsearch][0]
to include a new row for maintenance releases. For example, this row
covers upgrading from 7.6.0 to 7.6.2.
The new table row only displays for releases greater than n.x.0. For
example, the new row will display for the 7.7.1 release but not the
7.7.0 release.

Provides basic repository-level stats that will allow us to get some insight into how many
requests are actually being made by the underlying SDK. Currently only tracks GET and LIST
calls for S3 repositories. Most of the code is unfortunately boiler plate to add a new endpoint
that will help us better understand some of the low-level dynamics of searchable snapshots.
With this change, when a task is canceled, the task manager will cancel
not only its direct child tasks but all also its descendant tasks.
Closes#50990
Adds support for filters to T-Test aggregation. The filters can be used to
select populations based on some criteria and use values from the same or
different fields.
Closes#53692
The secure_settings_password was never taken into consideration in
the ReloadSecureSettings API. This commit fixes that and adds
necessary REST layer testing. Doing so, it also:
- Allows TestClusters to have a password protected keystore
so that it can be set for tests.
- Adds a parameter to the run task so that elastisearch can
be run with a password protected keystore from source.
The usage of local parameter for GetFieldMappingRequest has been removed from the underlying transport action since v2.0.
This PR deprecates the parameter from rest layer. It will be removed in next major version.
Changes boilerplate sentence of "If using a field as the argument, this
parameter only supports..." to "...this parameter supports only...".
The latter is a bit more clear and readable.
Some of these characters are special to Asciidoctor and they ruin the
rendering on this page. Instead, we use a macro to passthrough these
characters without Asciidoctor applying any subtitutions to them. This
commit then addresses some rendering issues in the thread pool docs.

We found some problems during the test.
Data: 200Million docs, 1 shard, 0 replica
hits | avg | sum | value_count |
----------- | ------- | ------- | ----------- |
20,000 | .038s | .033s | .063s |
200,000 | .127s | .125s | .334s |
2,000,000 | .789s | .729s | 3.176s |
20,000,000 | 4.200s | 3.239s | 22.787s |
200,000,000 | 21.000s | 22.000s | 154.917s |
The performance of `avg`, `sum` and other is very close when performing
statistics, but the performance of `value_count` has always been poor,
even not on an order of magnitude. Based on some common-sense knowledge,
we think that `value_count` and sum are similar operations, and the time
consumed should be the same. Therefore, we have discussed the agg
of `value_count`.
The principle of counting in es is to traverse the field of each
document. If the field is an ordinary value, the count value is
increased by 1. If it is an array type, the count value is increased
by n. However, the problem lies in traversing each document and taking
out the field, which changes from disk to an object in the Java
language. We summarize its current problems with Elasticsearch as:
- Number cast to string overhead, and GC problems caused by a large
number of strings
- After the number type is converted to string, sorting and other
unnecessary operations are performed
Here is the proof of type conversion overhead.
```
// Java long to string source code, getChars is very time-consuming.
public static String toString(long i) {
int size = stringSize(i);
if (COMPACT_STRINGS) {
byte[] buf = new byte[size];
getChars(i, size, buf);
return new String(buf, LATIN1);
} else {
byte[] buf = new byte[size * 2];
StringUTF16.getChars(i, size, buf);
return new String(buf, UTF16);
}
}
```
test type | average | min | max | sum
------------ | ------- | ---- | ----------- | -------
double->long | 32.2ns | 28ns | 0.024ms | 3.22s
long->double | 31.9ns | 28ns | 0.036ms | 3.19s
long->String | 163.8ns | 93ns | 1921 ms | 16.3s
particularly serious.
Our optimization code is actually very simple. It is to manage different
types separately, instead of uniformly converting to string unified
processing. We added type identification in ValueCountAggregator, and
made special treatment for number and geopoint types to cancel their
type conversion. Because the string type is reduced and the string
constant is reduced, the improvement effect is very obvious.

- The results are more in line with common sense. `value_count` is about
the same as `avg`, `sum`, etc., or even lower than these. Previously,
`value_count` was much larger than avg and sum, and it was not even an
order of magnitude when the amount of data was large.
- When calculating numeric types such as `double` and `long`, the
performance is improved by about 8 to 9 times; when calculating the
`geo_point` type, the performance is improved by 18 to 20 times.
The use of available processors, the terminology, and the settings
around it have evolved over time. This commit cleans up some places in
the codes and in the docs to adjust to the current terminology.
Creates a reusable template for token filter reference documentation.
Contributors can make a copy of this template and customize it when
documenting new token filters.
Implement DATETIME_PARSE(<datetime_str>, <pattern_str>) function
which allows to parse a datetime string according to the specified
pattern into a datetime object. The patterns allowed are those of
java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.

In 7.x, an index template will fail to apply if it contains a `_default_`
mapping. Several users have expressed confusion over the fact that loading the
template doesn't show any default mappings. This docs change clarifies that in
order to see all mappings in the template, you must pass `include_type_name`.
Adds a detailed example to the "Avoid scripts" section of the "Tune
for search speed" docs. The detail outlines how a script used to
transform indexed data can be moved to ingest.
The update also removes an outdated reference to supported script
languages.
This commit adds a new point field that is able to index arbitrary pair of values (x/y)
in the cartesian space. It only supports filtering using shape queries at the moment.
This is a backport of #54803 for 7.x.
This pull request cherry picks the squashed commit from #54803 with the additional commits:
6f50c92 which adjusts master code to 7.x
a114549 to mute a failing ILM test (#54818)
48cbca1 and 50186b2 that cleans up and fixes the previous test
aae12bb that adds a missing feature flag (#54861)
6f330e3 that adds missing serialization bits (#54864)
bf72c02 that adjust the version in YAML tests
a51955f that adds some plumbing for the transport client used in integration tests

Adds t_test metric aggregation that can perform paired and unpaired two-sample
t-tests. In this PR support for filters in unpaired is still missing. It will
be added in a follow-up PR.

Today when canceling a task we broadcast ban/unban requests to all nodes
in the cluster. This strategy does not scale well for hierarchical
cancellation. With this change, we will track outstanding child requests
and broadcast the cancellation to only nodes that have outstanding child
tasks. This change also prevents a parent task from sending child
requests once it got canceled.

Looking into #50237 I realized that two of the examples given in the
documentation around date math rounding for range queries on date fields using
`gt` and `lt` is slightly off by a nanosecond. This PR changes this to the
bounds that are currently parsed using these parameters.
