Do not expose hard-deleted docs in Lucene history (#32333)
Today when reading operation history in Lucene, we read all documents.
However, if indexing a document is aborted, IndexWriter will hard-delete
it; we, therefore, need to exclude that document from Lucene history.

This commit makes sure that we exclude aborted documents by using the
hard liveDocs of a SegmentReader if there are deletes.

Closes #32269

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.
