The completion suggester provides auto-complete/search-as-you-type functionality.
This is a navigational feature to guide users to relevant results as they are typing, improving search precision.
It is not meant for spell correction or did-you-mean functionality like the term or phrase suggesters.
The completions are indexed as a weighted FST (finite state transducer) to provide fast Top N prefix-based
searches suitable for serving relevant results as a user types.

The only way to refer to the plain highlighter is now `plain`, the only way to refer to the fast vector highlighter is `fvh` and the only way to refer to the postings highlighter is `postings`. The name variants like `highlighter`, `postings-highlighter` and `fast-vector-highlighter` have been removed.
we are relying on terminate_after more and more, replaced the limit filter with it and soon it will also replace the search_exists api. At that point we should make it a stable api rather than experimental.
Closes#14183
Requesting a million hits, or page 100,000 is always a bad idea, but users
may not be aware of this. This adds a per-index limit on the maximum size +
from that can be requested which defaults to 10,000.
This should not interfere with deep-scrolling.
Closes#9311
The documentation states that scrolls are automatically closed when all
documents are consumed, but this is not the case. I first tried to fix
the code to close scrolls automatically but this made REST tests fail
because clearing a scroll that is already closed returned a 4xx error
instead of a 2xx code, so this has probably been this way for a very long
time.
Just like specifying `?preference=_primary`, this adds the ability to
specify `?preference=_replica` or `?preference=_replica_first` on
requests that support it.
Resolves#12222
Field stats index constraints allows to omit all field stats for indices that don't match with the constraint. An index
constraint can exclude indices' field stats based on the `min_value` and `max_value` statistic. This option is only
useful if the `level` option is set to `indices`.
For example index constraints can be useful to find out the min and max value of a particular property of your data in
a time based scenario. The following request only returns field stats for the `answer_count` property for indices
holding questions created in the year 2014:
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_field_stats?level=indices' -d '{
"fields" : ["answer_count"] <1>
"index_constraints" : { <2>
"creation_date" : { <3>
"min_value" : { <4>
"gte" : "2014-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
},
"max_value" : {
"lt" : "2015-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}
}
}
}'
Closes#11187
In order to be more consistent with what they do, the query cache has been
renamed to request cache and the filter cache has been renamed to query
cache.
A known issue is that package/logger names do no longer match settings names,
please speak up if you think this is an issue.
Here are the settings for which I kept backward compatibility. Note that they
are a bit different from what was discussed on #11569 but putting `cache` before
the name of what is cached has the benefit of making these settings consistent
with the fielddata cache whose size is configured by
`indices.fielddata.cache.size`:
* index.cache.query.enable -> index.requests.cache.enable
* indices.cache.query.size -> indices.requests.cache.size
* indices.cache.filter.size -> indices.queries.cache.size
