Before 5.0 for it was required that the percolator queries were cached in jvm heap as Lucene queries for two reasons: 1) Performance. The percolator evaluated all percolator queries all the time. There was no pre-selecting queries that are likely to match like we have today. 2) Updates made to percolator queries were visible in realtime, Today these changes are visible in near realtime. So updating no longer requires the percolator to have the queries in jvm heap. So having the percolator queries in jvm heap via the percolator cache is now less attractive. Especially when there are many percolator queries then these queries can consume many GBs of jvm heap. Removing the percolator cache does make the percolate query slower compared to how the execution time in 5.0.0-alpha1 and alpha2, but it is still faster compared to 2.x and before.
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.
