* Add top hits collapsing to search request
The field collapsing is done with a custom top docs collector that "collapse" search hits with same field value.
The distributed aspect is resolve using the two passes that the regular search uses. The first pass "collapse" the top hits, then the coordinating node merge/collapse the top hits from each shard.
```
GET _search
{
"collapse": {
"field": "category",
}
}
```
This change also adds an ExpandCollapseSearchResponseListener that intercepts the search response and expands collapsed hits using the CollapseBuilder#innerHit} options.
The retrieval of each inner_hits is done by sending a query to all shards filtered by the collapse key.
```
GET _search
{
"collapse": {
"field": "category",
"inner_hits": {
"size": 2
}
}
}
```

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.
