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".
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)
uses node.js. This change removes site plugins, as well as the flag for
jvm plugins. Now all plugins are jvm plugins.
Currently we use the "gradle project attachment plugin" to support
building elasticsearch as part of another project. However, this plugin
has a number of issues, a large part of which is requiring consistent
use of the projectsPrefix.
This change removes projectsPrefix, and adds support for a special
extra-plugins directory in the root of elasticsearch. Any projects
checked out within this directory will be automatically added to
elasticsearch.
This gets the tar and tar_plugins tests working in gradle. It does so by
adding a subproject, qa/vagrant, which adds the following tasks:
Verification
------------
checkPackages - Check the packages against a representative sample of the
linux distributions we have in our Vagrantfile
checkPackagesAllDistros - Check the packages against all the linux
distributions we have in our Vagrantfile

It does not make the "check" task depend on "checkPackages" so running the
vagrant tests is still optional. They are slow and depend on vagrant and
virtualbox.
The Package Verification tasks are useful for testing individual distros.
The Vagrant tasks are listed in `gradle tasks` primarily for discoverability.
This commit makes sure that the plugin script looks at user, group and permissions of the elasticsearch bin dir and copies them over to the plugin bin subdirectory, whatever they are, so that they get properly setup depending on how elasticsearch was installed. We also make sure that execute permissions are added for files (we already did this before).
Relates to #11016Closes#14088
Depending on how elasticsearch is installed, we have two scenarios to take into account that relate to user, group and permissions assigned to the config directory:
1) deb/rpm package: /etc/elasticsearch is root:elasticsearch 750 and the plugin script is run from root user
2) tar/zip archive: es config dir is most likely elasticsearch:elasticsearch and the plugin script is most likely run from elasticsearch user
When the plugin script copies over the plugin config dir within the es config dir, it should take care of setting the proper user, group and permissions, which vary depending on how elasticsearch was installed in the first place. Should be root:elasticsearch 750 if installed from a package, or elasticsearch:elasticsearch if installed from an archive.
This commit makes sure that the plugin script looks at user, group and permissions of the config dir and copies them over to the plugin config subdirectory, whatever they are, so that they get properly setup depending on how elasticsearch was installed in the first place. We also make sure that execute permissions are left untouched for files.
Relates to #11016Closes#14048
When generating the rpm and dep package we now set proper group (elasticsearch) and permissions (750) to the conf dir (default /etc/elasticsearch). Same for the scripts subdirectory.
Expanded the assert_file bash function to also optionally check the group of files, so we can actually test that the group was set correctly.

It is rarely used and was not consistently handled by different distributions anyway.
This commit also adds a test for specifying CONF_DIR when installing plugins and
starting elasticsearch.

package installation creates the plugin directory already so when a plugin
is installed it prints the additional line
Plugins directory [/tmp/elasticsearch/plugins] does not exist. Creating...
Plugin cli tools configures logging with whatever is in the logging.yml.
If a file appender is configured for any of the logs this will cause creation
of an empty log file. If a plugin was for example installed as root it will
create empty logs at es.home/logs.
This is problematic when for example plugins are installed as root and es is run
as service. Logs will then be created in /usr/share/elasticsearch/logs
and can later not be removed by for example dpkg -r or -purge.
To avoid this, configure the logger to use an appender that writes to the same
output that plugin cli tool does. This allows other components that are called
from Plugin cli tool to write to the same terminal that plugin cli tool writes to
by using the logging mechanism already in place.
The logging conf is not read at all pb plugin cli tool.
As a side effect, the loging level for components that are called
from the plugin command such as the jar hell check can now be configured
with -Des.logger.level which makes it easier to debug the jar hell check.
Installs javatana in vivid, emulates its on-login actions when starting
elasticsearch and verifies that elasticsearch turns off javatana.
Relates to #13813
Before this commit he tests always run bin/plugin as root which is somewhat
unrealistic and causes trouble (log files owned by root instead of
elasticsearch). After this commit `bin/plugin` runs as root when elasticsearch
is installed via the repository and as elasticsearch otherwise which is much
more realistic.
This also adds extra timeout to starting elasticsearch which is required
when all the plugins are installed. And it fixes up a problem with logging
elasticsearch's log if elasticsearch doesn't start which came up multiple
time while debugging this problem.
Also adds docs recommending running `bin/plugin` as the user that owns the
Elasticsearch files or root if installed with the packages.
Closes#13557
This adds SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 12 to the list of tested VMs.
SLES 12 is using systemd, so that the current RPM works
out of the box.
SLES12 however is already quite old and does not ship with java8, so this
required adding an opensuse repo.
Fix the vagrant tests after azure was split into 3 plugins. The tests
need to list all the plugins and some dependency so we can make sure the
plugin can be installed and uninstalled.
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.
