Mark Vieira 1287c7d91f [Backport] Replace usages RandomizedTestingTask with built-in Gradle Test (#40978 ) (#40993 ) * Replace usages RandomizedTestingTask with built-in Gradle Test (#40978) This commit replaces the existing RandomizedTestingTask and supporting code with Gradle's built-in JUnit support via the Test task type. Additionally, the previous workaround to disable all tasks named "test" and create new unit testing tasks named "unitTest" has been removed such that the "test" task now runs unit tests as per the normal Gradle Java plugin conventions. (cherry picked from commit 323f312bbc829a63056a79ebe45adced5099f6e6) * Fix forking JVM runner * Don't bump shadow plugin version		2019-04-09 11:52:50 -07:00

Elasticsearch REST API JSON specification

This repository contains a collection of JSON files which describe the Elasticsearch HTTP API.

Their purpose is to formalize and standardize the API, to facilitate development of libraries and integrations.

Example for the "Create Index" API:

{
  "indices.create": {
    "documentation": "http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-create-index.html",
    "methods": ["PUT", "POST"],
    "url": {
      "path": "/{index}",
      "paths": ["/{index}"],
      "parts": {
        "index": {
          "type" : "string",
          "required" : true,
          "description" : "The name of the index"
        }
      },
      "params": {
        "timeout": {
          "type" : "time",
          "description" : "Explicit operation timeout"
        }
      }
    },
    "body": {
      "description" : "The configuration for the index (`settings` and `mappings`)"
    }
  }
}

The specification contains:

The name of the API (indices.create), which usually corresponds to the client calls
Link to the documentation at http://elastic.co
List of HTTP methods for the endpoint
URL specification: path, parts, parameters
Whether body is allowed for the endpoint or not and its description

The methods and url.paths elements list all possible HTTP methods and URLs for the endpoint; it is the responsibility of the developer to use this information for a sensible API on the target platform.
