Align cat thread pool info to thread pool config (#29195)
Today we report thread pool info using a common object. This means that
we use a shared set of terminology that is not consistent with the
terminology used to the configure thread pools. This holds in particular
for the minimum and maximum number of threads in the thread pool where
we use the following terminology:
 thread pool info | fixed | scaling
  min                core    size
  max                max     size

A previous change addressed this for the nodes info API. This commit
changes the display of thread pool info in the cat thread pool API too
to be dependent on the type of the thread pool so that we can align the
terminology in the output of thread pool info with the terminology used
to configure a thread pool.

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.
