Add OS/architecture classifier to distributions (#37881)
This commit adds classifiers to the distributions indicating the
OS (for archives) and platform. The current OSes are for windows, darwin (ie
macos) and linux. This change will allow future OS/architecture specific
changes to the distributions. Note the docs using distribution links
have been updated, but will be reworked in a followup to make OS
specific instructions for the archives.

=== Install Elasticsearch with RPM
The RPM for Elasticsearch can be <<install-rpm,downloaded from our website>>
or from our <<rpm-repo,RPM repository>>. It can be used to install
Elasticsearch on any RPM-based system such as OpenSuSE, SLES, Centos, Red Hat,
and Oracle Enterprise.
NOTE: RPM install is not supported on distributions with old versions of RPM,
such as SLES 11 and CentOS 5. Please see <<zip-targz>> instead.
include::license.asciidoc[]
The latest stable version of Elasticsearch can be found on the
link:/downloads/elasticsearch[Download Elasticsearch] page. Other versions can
be found on the link:/downloads/past-releases[Past Releases page].
NOTE: Elasticsearch requires Java 8 or later. Use the
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[official Oracle distribution]
or an open-source distribution such as http://openjdk.java.net[OpenJDK].
[[rpm-key]]
==== Import the Elasticsearch PGP Key
include::key.asciidoc[]
[source,sh]
-------------------------
rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
-------------------------
[[rpm-repo]]
==== Installing from the RPM repository
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="unreleased"]
Version {version} of Elasticsearch has not yet been released.
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"!="unreleased"]
Create a file called `elasticsearch.repo` in the `/etc/yum.repos.d/` directory
for RedHat based distributions, or in the `/etc/zypp/repos.d/` directory for
OpenSuSE based distributions, containing:
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="released"]
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
[elasticsearch-{major-version}]
name=Elasticsearch repository for {major-version} packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/{major-version}/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md
--------------------------------------------------
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="prerelease"]
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
[elasticsearch-{major-version}]
name=Elasticsearch repository for {major-version} packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/{major-version}-prerelease/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md
--------------------------------------------------
endif::[]
And your repository is ready for use. You can now install Elasticsearch with one of the following commands:
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------------
sudo yum install elasticsearch <1>
sudo dnf install elasticsearch <2>
sudo zypper install elasticsearch <3>
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Use `yum` on CentOS and older Red Hat based distributions.
<2> Use `dnf` on Fedora and other newer Red Hat distributions.
<3> Use `zypper` on OpenSUSE based distributions
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"!="unreleased"]
[NOTE]
==================================================
An alternative package which contains only features that are available under the
Apache 2.0 license is also available. To install it, use the following `baseurl` in your `elasticsearch.repo` file:
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="prerelease"]
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/oss-{major-version}-prerelease/yum
--------------------------------------------------
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"!="prerelease"]
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/oss-{major-version}/yum
--------------------------------------------------
endif::[]
==================================================
endif::[]
[[install-rpm]]
==== Download and install the RPM manually
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="unreleased"]
Version {version} of Elasticsearch has not yet been released.
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"!="unreleased"]
The RPM for Elasticsearch v{version} can be downloaded from the website and installed as follows:
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
--------------------------------------------
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-{version}-x86_64.rpm
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-{version}-x86_64.rpm.sha512
shasum -a 512 -c elasticsearch-{version}-x86_64.rpm.sha512 <1>
sudo rpm --install elasticsearch-{version}-x86_64.rpm
--------------------------------------------
<1> Compares the SHA of the downloaded RPM and the published checksum, which should output
`elasticsearch-{version}-x86_64.rpm: OK`.
Alternatively, you can download the following package, which contains only
features that are available under the Apache 2.0 license:
https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss-{version}-x86_64.rpm

[[rpm-enable-indices]]
==== Enable automatic creation of {xpack} indices
{xpack} will try to automatically create a number of indices within {es}.

[[rpm-configuring]]
==== Configuring Elasticsearch
include::etc-elasticsearch.asciidoc[]
The RPM also has a system configuration file (`/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch`),
which allows you to set the following parameters:
include::sysconfig-file.asciidoc[]
NOTE: Distributions that use `systemd` require that system resource limits be
configured via `systemd` rather than via the `/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch`
file. See <<systemd>> for more information.
[[rpm-layout]]
==== Directory layout of RPM
The RPM places config files, logs, and the data directory in the appropriate
locations for an RPM-based system:
[cols="<h,<,<m,<m",options="header",]

| home
