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
end up throwing an NPE because the plugin id is null yet we just keep
going (ultimatley we try to lookup the null plugin id in a set, the
direct cause of the NPE). This commit modifies the install command so
that a missing plugin id is detected and help is provided to the user.

When testing tribe nodes in an integration test, we should pass the classpath
plugins of the node down to the tribe client nodes. Without this the tribe client
nodes could be prevented from communicating with the tribes.
Today when CLI tools are executed, logging statements can intentionally
or unintentionally be executed when logging is not configured. This
leads to log messages that the status logger is not configured. This
commit reworks logging configuration for CLI tools so that logging is
always configured.

Today when starting Elasticsearch without a Log4j 2 configuration file,
we end up throwing an array index out of bounds exception. This is
because we are passing no configuration files to Log4j. Instead, we
should throw a useful error message to the user. This commit modifies
the Log4j configuration setup to throw a user exception if no Log4j
configuration files are present in the config directory.

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.

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. This is useful for SystemD to avoid duplicate logs in both journalctl and /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log while still allows the JVM to print error messages in stdout/stderr if needed.
closes#17220
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.

Previously we would disable console logging in certain circumstances
(for example, if Elasticsearch is not in the foreground, or if
Elasticsearch is in the foreground but an exception was thrown during
bootstrap). This commit makes this handling work with Log4j 2. This will
prevent users from seeing double bootstrap check failure messages.

The 5.x series of Elasticsearch emits a warning if any of the old

By default, when an exception causes the JVM to terminate, the stack
trace is printed. In the case of failing bootstrap checks, this stack
trace is useless to the user, and might even distract them from seeing
that the bootstrap checks failed for reasons under their control. With
this commit, we cause the stack trace for a failing bootstrap check to
be truncated.
We also modify some methods to not declare that they throw the top level
checked exception type Exception, but instead explicitly declare the
exceptions that they throw. These exceptions are caught and wrapped in a
BootstrapException so that we can percolate only two exception types out
of Bootstrap#init as checked exception, BootstrapException and
NodeValidationException.

The logging configuration tests write to log files which are deleted at
the end of the test. If these files are not closed, some operating
systems will complain when these deletes are performed. This commit
ensures that the logging system is properly shutdown so that these files
can be properly deleted.

This commit expands on the message printed when config files are
preserved when removing a plugin to give the user an indication of the
reason the config files are preserved.
When removing a plugin with a config directory, we preserve the config
directory. This is because the workflow for upgrading a plugin involves
removing and then installing the plugin again and losing the plugin
config in this case would be terrible. This commit causes a message
regarding this to be printed in case the user wants to manually delete
these files.
This commit enables CLI tools to have console logging. For the CLI
tools, we skip configuring the logging infrastructure via the config
file, and instead set the level only via a system property.
This commit fixes failing evil logging configuration tests. The test for
resolving multiple configuration files was failing after
9a58fc2348 removed some of the
configuration needed for this test. The solution is revert the removal
of that configuration, but remove additivity from the test logger to
prevent the evil logger tests from failing.
This commit defaults the max local storage nodes to one. The motivation
for this change is that a default value greather than one is dangerous
as users sometimes end up unknowingly starting a second node and start
thinking that they have encountered data loss.

This commit fixes a test bug in
EvilJNANativesTests#testSetMaximumNumberOfThreads. Namely, the test was
not checking whether or not the value from /proc/self/limits was equal
to "unlimited" before attempting to parse as a long. This commit fixes
that error.
Today `node.mode` and `node.local` serve almost the same purpose, they
are a shortcut for `discovery.type` and `transport.type`. If `node.local: true`
or `node.mode: local` is set elasticsearch will start in _local_ mode which means
only nodes within the same JVM are discovered and a non-network based transport
is used. The _local_ mode it only really used in tests or if nodes are embedded.
For both, embedding and tests explicit configuration via `discovery.type` and `transport.type`
should be preferred.
This change removes all the usage of these settings and by-default doesn't
configure a default transport implemenation since netty is now a module. Yet, to make
the user expericence flawless, plugins or modules can set a `http.type.default` and
`transport.type.default`. Plugins set this via `PluginService#additionalSettings()`
which enforces _set-once_ which prevents node startup if set multiple times. This means
that our distributions will just startup with netty transport since it's packaged as a
module unless `transport.type` or `http.transport.type` is explicitly set.
This change also found a bunch of bugs since several NamedWriteables were not registered if a
transport client is used. Now that we don't rely on the `node.mode` leniency which is inherited
instead of using explicit settings, `TransportClient` uses `AssertingLocalTransport` which detects these problems since it serializes all messages.
Closes#16234
this commit moves the most of the http related integ tests out into it's own
`qa/smoke-test-http` project where most of the test can run against the external cluster.
The top-level class Throwable represents all errors and exceptions in
Java. This hierarchy is divided into Error and Exception, the former
being serious problems that applications should not try to catch and the
latter representing exceptional conditions that an application might
want to catch and handle. This commit renames
org.elasticsearch.cli.UserError to org.elasticsearch.UserException to
make its name consistent with where it falls in this hierarchy.

Node IDs are currently randomly generated during node startup. That means they change every time the node is restarted. While this doesn't matter for ES proper, it makes it hard for external services to track nodes. Another, more minor, side effect is that indexing the output of, say, the node stats API results in creating new fields due to node ID being used as keys.
The first approach I considered was to use the node's published address as the base for the id. We already [treat nodes with the same address as the same](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/discovery/zen/NodeJoinController.java#L387) so this is a simple change (see [here](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/compare/master...bleskes:node_persistent_id_based_on_address)). While this is simple and it works for probably most cases, it is not perfect. For example, if after a node restart, the node is not able to bind to the same port (because it's not yet freed by the OS), it will cause the node to still change identity. Also in environments where the host IP can change due to a host restart, identity will not be the same.
Due to those limitation, I opted to go with a different approach where the node id will be persisted in the node's data folder. This has the upside of connecting the id to the nodes data. It also means that the host can be adapted in any way (replace network cards, attach storage to a new VM). I
It does however also have downsides - we now run the risk of two nodes having the same id, if someone copies clones a data folder from one node to another. To mitigate this I changed the semantics of the protection against multiple nodes with the same address to be stricter - it will now reject the incoming join if a node exists with the same id but a different address. Note that if the existing node doesn't respond to pings (i.e., it's not alive) it will be removed and the new node will be accepted when it tries another join.
Last, and most importantly, this change requires that *all* nodes persist data to disk. This is a change from current behavior where only data & master nodes store local files. This is the main reason for marking this PR as breaking.
Other less important notes:
- DummyTransportAddress is removed as we need a unique network address per node. Use `LocalTransportAddress.buildUnique()` instead.
- I renamed `node.add_lid_to_custom_path` to `node.add_lock_id_to_custom_path` to avoid confusion with the node ID which is now part of the `NodeEnvironment` logic.
- I removed the `version` paramater from `MetaDataStateFormat#write` , it wasn't really used and was just in the way :)
- TribeNodes are special in the sense that they do start multiple sub-nodes (previously known as client nodes). Those sub-nodes do not store local files but derive their ID from the parent node id, so they are generated consistently.
Today throughout the codebase, catch throwable is used with reckless
abandon. This is dangerous because the throwable could be a fatal
virtual machine error resulting from an internal error in the JVM, or an
out of memory error or a stack overflow error that leaves the virtual
machine in an unstable and unpredictable state. This commit removes
catch throwable from the codebase and removes the temptation to use it
by modifying listener APIs to receive instances of Exception instead of
the top-level Throwable.

As some plugins are becoming big now, it is hard for the user to know, if the plugin
is being downloaded or just nothing happens.
This commit adds a progress bar during download, which can be disabled by using the `-q`
parameter.
In addition this updates to jimfs 1.1, which allows us to test the batch mode, as adding
security policies are now supported due to having jimfs:// protocol support in URL stream
handlers.
Previously Elasticsearch used $DATA_DIR/$CLUSTER_NAME/nodes for the path
where data is stored, this commit changes that to be $DATA_DIR/nodes.
On startup, if the old folder structure is detected it will be used.
This behavior will be removed in Elasticsearch 6.0

We have 3 evil tests for jarhell. They have been failing in java 9
because of how evil they are. The first checks the leniency we add for
jarhell in the jdk itself. This is unecessary, since if the leniency
wasn't there, we would already be failing all jarhell checks. The second
is checking the compile version is compatible with the jdk. This is
simpler since we don't need to fake the java version: we know 1.7 should
be compatibile with both java 8 and 9, so we can use that as a constant.
Finally the last test checks if the java version system property is
broken. This is simply something we should not check, we have to trust
that java specifies it correctly, and again, if it was broken, all
jarhell checks would be broken.
Lucene SuppressForbidden is marked lucene.internal and should not be
used outside of Lucene. This commit removes the uses of this class
within Elasticsearch. Instead,
org.elasticsearch.common.SuppressForbidden should be used, which was
already the case in most places.
This commit removes the ability to specify a custom plugins
path. Instead, the plugins path will always be a subdirectory called
"plugins" off of the home directory.
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
- settings are no longer propogated to system properties
- system properties can not be used to set settings
- the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
- test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

This changes our packaging to be explicit about the permissions of files
and directories in the tar.gz, rpm, and deb packages. This is to protect
against a user having an incorrectly set umask when installing.
Additionally, plugins that are installed now have their permissions set
by the plugin installation so that plugins that may have been packaged
with incorrect permissions are secured.

This commit adds a bootstrap check on Linux and OS X for the max size of

This commit sets up the default filesystem used during install plugins
tests. A hack is neeeded to handle the temporary directory because the
system property "java.io.tmpdir" will have been initialized to a value
that is sensible for the default filesystem, but not necessarily to a
value that makes sense for the mock filesystem in use during the
tests. This property is restored after each test.
This commit refactors the unit tests for installing plugins to test
against mock filesystems (as well as the native filesystem) for better
test coverage. This commit also adds tests that cover the POSIX
attributes handling when installing plugins (e.g., ensuring that the
plugins directory has the right permissions, the bin directory has
execute permissions, and the config directory has the same owner and
group as its parent).
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
When unzipping a plugin zip, the zip entries are resolved relative to
the directory being unzipped into. However, there are currently no
checks that the entry name was not absolute, or relatively points
outside of the plugin dir. This change adds a check for those two cases.
Currently, the cluster service is tightly coupled to the transport service by both managing node connections and requiring the bound address in order to create the local disco node. This commit introduces a new NodeConnectionsService which is in charge of node connection management and makes it possible to remove all network related calls from the cluster service. The local DiscoNode is now created by DiscoveryNodeService and is set both the cluster service and the transport service during node start up.

This commit simplifies and consolidates the two different
implementations of terminals used in tests. There is now a single
MockTerminal which captures output, and allows accessing as one large
string (with unix style \n as newlines), as well as configuring
input.
DiscoveryService was a bridge into the discovery universe. This is unneeded and we can just access discovery directly or do things in a different way.
One of those different ways, is not having a dedicated discovery implementation for each our dicovery plugins but rather reuse ZenDiscovery.
UnicastHostProviders are now classified by discovery type, removing unneeded checks on plugins.
Closes#16821
Today we might start a node and some of the paths might not have the
required permissions. This commit goes through all data directories as
well as index, shard and state directories and ensures we have write access.
To make this work across all OS etc. we are trying to write a real file
and remove it again in each of those directories
One of our tests leaked a system property here since we failed after appling some
system properties in BootstrapCLIParser. This is not a huge deal in production since
we exit the JVM if we fail on that. Yet for correctnes we should only apply them if
we manage to parse them all.
This also caused a test failure lately on CI but on an unrelated test:
https://elasticsearch-ci.elastic.co/job/elastic+elasticsearch+master+periodic/314/console
Identifying when a plugin id is maven coordinates is currently done by
checking if the plugin id contains 2 colons. However, a valid url could
have 2 colons, for example when a port is specified. This change adds
another check, ensuring the plugin id with maven coordinates does not
contain a slash, which only a url would have.

This commit enableds strict settings validation on node startup. All settings
passed to elasticsearch either through system properties, yaml files or any other
way to pass settings must be registered and valid. Settings that are unknown ie. due to
typos or due to deprecation or removal will cause the node to NOT start up. Plugins
have to declare all their settings on the `SettingsModule#registerSetting` and settings for
plugins that are not installed must be removed.
This commit also removes the ability to specify the nodes name via `-Des.name` or just `name` in the
configuration files. The node name must be prefixed with the node prexif like `node.name: Boom`. Left over
usage of `name` will also cause startup to fail.
Cli tools currently catch all exceptions, and only print the exception
message, except when a special system property is set. Even with this
flag set, certain exceptions, like IOException, are captured and their
stack trace is always lost.
This change adds a UserError class, which can be used a cli tools to
specify a message to the user, as well as an exit status. All other
exceptions are propagated out of main, so java will exit with non-zero
and print the stack trace.
The plugin cli currently is extremely lenient, allowing most errors to
simply be logged. This can lead to either corrupt installations (eg
partially installed plugins), or confused users.
This change rewrites the plugin cli to have almost no leniency.
Unfortunately it was not possible to remove all leniency, due in
particular to how config files are handled.
The following functionality was simplified:
* The format of the name argument to install a plugin is now an official
plugin name, maven coordinates, or a URL.
* Checksum files are required, and only checked, for official plugins
and maven plugins. Checksums are also only SHA1.
* Downloading no longer uses a separate thread, and no longer has a timeout.
* Installation, and removal, attempts to be atomic. This only truly works
when no config or bin files exist.
* config and bin directories are verified before copying is attempted.
* Permissions and user/group are no longer set on config and bin files.
We rely on the users umask.
* config and bin directories must only contain files, no subdirectories.
* The code is reorganized so each command is a separate class. These
classes already existed, but were embedded in the plugin cli class, as
an extra layer between the cli code and the code running for each command.
If we don't do this, and some path.conf is set when starting the tribe node, that path.conf will be ignored and the inner tribe clients will try to read elsewhere, where they most likely don't have permissions to read from.

Site plugins used to be used for things like kibana and marvel, but
there is no longer a need since kibana (and marvel as a kibana plugin)
