Adds a hard_bounds parameter to explicitly limit the buckets that a histogram
can generate. This is especially useful in case of open ended ranges that can
produce a very large number of buckets.
This API reports on statistics important for data streams, including the number of data
streams, the number of backing indices for those streams, the disk usage for each data
stream, and the maximum timestamp for each data stream
Currently we combine coordinating and primary bytes into a single bucket
for indexing pressure stats. This makes sense for rejection logic.
However, for metrics it would be useful to separate them.
This makes the data_stream timestamp field specification optional when
defining a composable template.
When there isn't one specified it will default to `@timestamp`.

This adds a low precendece mapping for the `@timestamp` field with
type `date`.
This will aid with the bootstrapping of data streams as a timestamp
mapping can be omitted when nanos precision is not needed.

We have recently added internal metrics to monitor the amount of
indexing occurring on a node. These metrics introduce back pressure to
indexing when memory utilization is too high. This commit exposes these
stats through the node stats API.
Backport of #59293 to 7.x branch.
* Create new data-stream xpack module.
* Move TimestampFieldMapper to the new module,
this results in storing a composable index template
with data stream definition only to work with default
distribution. This way data streams can only be used
with default distribution, since a data stream can
currently only be created if a matching composable index
template exists with a data stream definition.
* Renamed `_timestamp` meta field mapper
to `_data_stream_timestamp` meta field mapper.
* Add logic to put composable index template api
to fail if `_data_stream_timestamp` meta field mapper
isn't registered. So that a more understandable
error is returned when attempting to store a template
with data stream definition via the oss distribution.
In a follow up the data stream transport and
rest actions can be moved to the xpack data-stream module.
Backport of #59076 to 7.x branch.
The commit makes the following changes:
* The timestamp field of a data stream definition in a composable
index template can only be set to '@timestamp'.
* Removed custom data stream timestamp field validation and reuse the validation from `TimestampFieldMapper` and
instead only check that the _timestamp field mapping has been defined on a backing index of a data stream.
* Moved code that injects _timestamp meta field mapping from `MetadataCreateIndexService#applyCreateIndexRequestWithV2Template58956(...)` method
to `MetadataIndexTemplateService#collectMappings(...)` method.
* Fixed a bug (#58956) that cases timestamp field validation to be performed
for each template and instead of the final mappings that is created.
* only apply _timestamp meta field if index is created as part of a data stream or data stream rollover,
this fixes a docs test, where a regular index creation matches (logs-*) with a template with a data stream definition.

* GET data stream API returns additional information (#59128)
This adds the data stream's index template, the configured ILM policy
(if any) and the health status of the data stream to the GET _data_stream
response.
Restoring a data stream from a snapshot could install a data stream that
doesn't match any composable templates. This also makes the `template`
field in the `GET _data_stream` response optional.

This fixes that by moving the query rewrite phase from a synchronous

can properly handle the asynchronous actions.
This commit creates a new Gradle plugin to provide a separate task name
and source set for running YAML based REST tests. The only project
converted to use the new plugin in this PR is distribution/archives/integ-test-zip.
For which the testing has been moved to :rest-api-spec since it makes the most
sense and it avoids a small but awkward change to the distribution plugin.
The remaining cases in modules, plugins, and x-pack will be handled in followups.
This plugin is distinctly different from the plugin introduced in #55896 since
the YAML REST tests are intended to be black box tests over HTTP. As such they
should not (by default) have access to the classpath for that which they are testing.
The YAML based REST tests will be moved to separate source sets (yamlRestTest).
The which source is the target for the test resources is dependent on if this
new plugin is applied. If it is not applied, it will default to the test source
set.
Further, this introduces a breaking change for plugin developers that
use the YAML testing framework. They will now need to either use the new source set
and matching task, or configure the rest resources to use the old "test" source set that
matches the old integTest task. (The former should be preferred).
As part of this change (which is also breaking for plugin developers) the
rest resources plugin has been removed from the build plugin and now requires
either explicit application or application via the new YAML REST test plugin.
Plugin developers should be able to fix the breaking changes to the YAML tests
by adding apply plugin: 'elasticsearch.yaml-rest-test' and moving the YAML tests
under a yamlRestTest folder (instead of test)
Backport of #58582 to 7.x branch.
This commit adds a new metadata field mapper that validates,
that a document has exactly a single timestamp value in the data stream timestamp field and
that the timestamp field mapping only has `type`, `meta` or `format` attributes configured.
Other attributes can affect the guarantee that an index with this meta field mapper has a
useable timestamp field.
The MetadataCreateIndexService inserts a data stream timestamp field mapper whenever
a new backing index of a data stream is created.

The read-only-allow-delete block is not really under the user's control

Today the disk-based shard allocator accounts for incoming shards by
subtracting the estimated size of the incoming shard from the free space on the
node. This is an overly conservative estimate if the incoming shard has almost
finished its recovery since in that case it is already consuming most of the
disk space it needs.
This change adds to the shard stats a measure of how much larger each store is
expected to grow, computed from the ongoing recovery, and uses this to account
for the disk usage of incoming shards more accurately.

* Picky picky
* Missing type
This PR implements recursive mapping merging for composable index templates.
When creating an index, we perform the following:
* Add each component template mapping in order, merging each one in after the
last.
* Merge in the index template mappings (if present).
* Merge in the mappings on the index request itself (if present).
Some principles:
* All 'structural' changes are disallowed (but everything else is fine). An
object mapper can never be changed between `type: object` and `type: nested`. A
field mapper can never be changed to an object mapper, and vice versa.
* Generally, each section is merged recursively. This includes `object`
mappings, as well as root options like `dynamic_templates` and `meta`. Once we
reach 'leaf components' like field definitions, they always overwrite an
existing one instead of being merged.

Adds an API for putting an index block in place, which also ensures for write blocks that, once successfully returning to
the user, all shards of the index are properly accounting for the block, for example that all in-flight writes to an index have
been completed after adding the write block.
This API allows coordinating more complex workflows, where it is crucial that an index is no longer receiving writes after
the API completes, useful for example when marking an index as read-only during an upgrade in order to reindex its
documents.
Implements a new histogram aggregation called `variable_width_histogram` which
dynamically determines bucket intervals based on document groupings. These
groups are determined by running a one-pass clustering algorithm on each shard
and then reducing each shard's clusters using an agglomerative
clustering algorithm.
This PR addresses #9572.
The shard-level clustering is done in one pass to minimize memory overhead. The
algorithm was lightly inspired by
[this paper](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1198387). It fetches
a small number of documents to sample the data and determine initial clusters.
Subsequent documents are then placed into one of these clusters, or a new one
if they are an outlier. This algorithm is described in more details in the
aggregation's docs.
At reduce time, a
[hierarchical agglomerative clustering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_clustering)
algorithm inspired by [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.00304)
continually merges the closest buckets from all shards (based on their
centroids) until the target number of buckets is reached.
The final values produced by this aggregation are approximate. Each bucket's
min value is used as its key in the histogram. Furthermore, buckets are merged
based on their centroids and not their bounds. So it is possible that adjacent
buckets will overlap after reduction. Because each bucket's key is its min,
this overlap is not shown in the final histogram. However, when such overlap
occurs, we set the key of the bucket with the larger centroid to the midpoint
between its minimum and the smaller bucket’s maximum:
`min[large] = (min[large] + max[small]) / 2`. This heuristic is expected to
increases the accuracy of the clustering.
Nodes are unable to share centroids during the shard-level clustering phase. In
the future, resolving https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/50863
would let us solve this issue.
It doesn’t make sense for this aggregation to support the `min_doc_count`
parameter, since clusters are determined dynamically. The `order` parameter is
not supported here to keep this large PR from becoming too complex.

Follow-up to 35aecf4c9aa. Somehow I missed the fact that there's an ILM
API named `retry`, which is a keyword in Ruby. I've removed it from the
keywords list.
If an API name (or components of a name) overlaps with a reserved word in
the programming language for an ES client, then it's possible that the code
that is generated from the API will not compile. This PR adds validation to
check for such overlaps.

* use mapping source direcly instead of using mapper service to extract the relevant mapping details
* moved assertion to TimestampField class and added helper method for tests
* Improved logic that inserts timestamp field mapping into an mapping.
If the timestamp field path consisted out of object fields and
if the final mapping did not contain the parent field then an error
occurred, because the prior logic assumed that the object field existed.
This change allows to use an `index_filter` in the
field capabilities API. Indices are filtered from
the response if the provided query rewrites to `match_none`
on every shard:
````
GET metrics-*
{
"index_filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [
"range": {
"@timestamp": {
"gt": "2019"
}
}
}
}
}
````
The filtering is done on a best-effort basis, it uses the can match phase
to rewrite queries to `match_none` instead of fully executing the request.
The first shard that can match the filter is used to create the field
capabilities response for the entire index.

The dangling_indices.import API name could cause issues in the client
libs because import is a reserved word in many languages. Rename the
API to avoid this, and rename the other APIs for consistency.
Related to #48366.
This builds an `auto_date_histogram` aggregator that natively aggregates
from many buckets and uses it when the `auto_date_histogram` used to use
`asMultiBucketAggregator` which should save a significant amount of
memory in those cases. In particular, this happens when
`auto_date_histogram` is a sub-aggregator of a multi-bucketing aggregator
like `terms` or `histogram` or `filters`. For the most part we preserve
the original implementation when `auto_date_histogram` only collects from
a single bucket.
It isn't possible to "just port the aggregator" without taking a pretty
significant performance hit because we used to rewrite all of the
buckets every time we switched to a coarser and coarser rounding
configuration. Without some major surgery to how to delay sub-aggs
we'd end up rewriting the delay list zillions of time if there are many
buckets.
The multi-bucket version of the aggregator has a "budget" of "wasted"
buckets and only rewrites all of the buckets when we exceed that budget.
Now that we don't rebucket every time we increase the rounding we can no
longer get an accurate count of the number of buckets! So instead the
aggregator uses an estimate of the number of buckets to trigger switching
to a coarser rounding. This estimate is likely to be *terrible* when
buckets are far apart compared to the rounding. So it also uses the
difference between the first and last bucket to trigger switching to a
coarser rounding. Which covers for the shortcomings of the bucket
estimation technique pretty well. It also causes the aggregator to emit
fewer buckets in cases where they'd be reduced together on the
coordinating node. This is wonderful! But probably fairly rare.
All of that does buy us some speed improvements when the aggregator is
a child of multi-bucket aggregator:
Without metrics or time zone: 25% faster
With metrics: 15% faster
With time zone: 22% faster

Before #57042 the max_buckets test would consistently pass because the
request would consistently fail. In particular, the request would fail on
the data node. After #57042 it only fails on the coordinating node. When
the max_buckets test is run in a mixed version cluster it consistently
fails on *either* the data node or the coordinating node. Except when
the coordinating node is missing #43095. In that case if the one data
node has #57042 and one does not, *and* the one that doesn't gets the
request first, fails it as expected, and then the coordinating node
retries the request on the node with #57042. When that happens the
request fails mysteriously with "partial shard failures" as the error
message but not partial failures reported. This is *exactly* the bug
fixed in #43095.
This updates the test to be skipped in mixed version clusters without
#43095 because they *sometimes* fail the test spuriously. The request
fails in those cases, just like we expect, but with a mysterious error
message.
