Zachary Tong bf1550a0b2 Rollups for Elasticsearch (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#4002)
This adds a new Rollup module to XPack, which allows users to configure periodic "rollup jobs" to pre-aggregate data.  That data is then available later for search through a special RollupSearch API, which mimics the DSL and functionality of regular search.

Rollups are used to drastically reduce the on-disk footprint of metric-based data (e.g. timestamped document with numeric and keyword fields).  It can also be used to speed up aggregations over large datasets, since the rolled data will be considerably smaller and fewer documents to search.

The PR adds seven new endpoints to interact with Rollups; create/get/delete job, start/stop job, a capabilities API similar to field-caps, and a Rollup-enabled search.

=== Start Job API
++++
<titleabbrev>Start Job</titleabbrev>
++++
This API starts an existing, stopped rollup job. If the job does not exist an exception will be thrown.
Starting an already started job has no action.
==== Request
`POST _xpack/rollup/job/<job_id>/_start`
//===== Description
==== Path Parameters
`job_id` (required)::
(string) Identifier for the job
==== Request Body
There is no request body for the Start Job API.
==== Authorization
You must have `manage` or `manage_rollup` cluster privileges to use this API.
For more information, see
{xpack-ref}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges].
==== Examples
If we have already created a rollup job named `sensor`, it can be started with:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
POST _xpack/rollup/job/sensor/_start
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:sensor_rollup_job]
Which will return the response:
[source,js]
----
{
"started": true
}
----
// TESTRESPONSE
If however we try to start a job which doesn't exist:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
POST _xpack/rollup/job/does_not_exist/_start
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[catch:missing]
A 404 `resource_not_found` exception will be thrown:
[source,js]
----
{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "resource_not_found_exception",
"reason" : "Task for Rollup Job [does_not_exist] not found",
"stack_trace": ...
}
],
"type" : "resource_not_found_exception",
"reason" : "Task for Rollup Job [does_not_exist] not found",
"stack_trace": ...
},
"status": 404
}
