This commit introduces a new plugin for file-based unicast hosts
discovery. This allows specifying the unicast hosts participating
in discovery through a `unicast_hosts.txt` file located in the
`config/discovery-file` directory. The plugin will use the hosts
specified in this file as the set of hosts to ping during discovery.
The format of the `unicast_hosts.txt` file is to have one host/port
entry per line. The hosts file is read and parsed every time
discovery makes ping requests, thus a new version of the file that
is published to the config directory will automatically be picked
up.
Closes#20323
As discussed at https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-azure/issues/91#issuecomment-229113595, we know that the current `discovery-azure` plugin only works with Azure Classic VMs / Services (which is somehow Legacy now).
The proposal here is to rename `discovery-azure` to `discovery-azure-classic` in case some users are using it.
And deprecate it for 5.0.
Closes#19144.
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)
Relates #18198
In case of x-pack the superuser role is required.
Also the code for extracting the host was simplified
Lastly the keyserver was replaced as the current one is being
unresponsive.
Instead of hardcoding localhost:9200, the smoke tester
now uses the portsfile's first entry to find out, which
host/port combination to test HTTP against.
Closes#17409
Until now we had a cloud-azure plugin which is providing 3 distinct features:
* discovery on Azure
* snapshot/restore on Aure
* SMB store
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
