Nik Everett d8056c8213 Add support for waiting until a refresh occurs
This adds support for setting the refresh request parameter to
`wait_for` in the `index`, `delete`, `update`, and `bulk` APIs. When
`refresh=wait_for` is set those APIs will not return until their
results have been made visible to search by a refresh.

Also it adds a `forced_refresh` field to the response of `index`,
`delete`, `update`, and to each item in a bulk response. This will
be true for requests with `?refresh` or `?refresh=true` and will be
true for some requests (see below) with `refresh=wait_for` but ought
to otherwise always be false.

`refresh=wait_for` is implemented as a list of
`Tuple<Translog.Location, Consumer<Boolean>>`s in the new `RefreshListeners`
class that is managed by `IndexShard`. The dynamic, index scoped
`index.max_refresh_listeners` setting controls a maximum number of
listeners allowed in any shard. If more than that many listeners
accumulate in the engine then a refresh will be forced, the thread that
adds the listener will be blocked until the refresh completes, and then the
listener will be called with a `forcedRefresh` flag so it knows that it was
the "straw that broke the camel's back". These listeners are only used by
`refresh=wait_for` and that flag manifests itself as `forced_refresh` being
`true` in the response.

About half of this change comes from piping async-ness down to the appropriate
layer in a way that is compatible with the ongoing with with sequence ids.

Closes #1063

    Handle hanging documents

    If a document is added to the index during a refresh we weren't properly
    firing its refresh listener. This happened because the way we detect
    whether a refresh makes something visible or not is imperfect. It is
    ok because it always errs on the side of thinking that something isn't
    yet visible.

    So when a document arrives during a refresh the refresh listeners
    won't think it made it into a refresh when, often, it does. The way
    we work around this is by telling Elasticsearch that it ought to
    trigger a refresh if there are any pending refresh listeners even
    if there aren't pending documents to update. Lucene short circuits
    the refresh so it doesn't take that much effort, but the refresh
    listeners still get the signal that a refresh has come in and they
    still pick up the change and notify the listener.

    This means that the time that a listener can wait is actually slightly
    longer than the refresh interval.

    Remove Translog#lastWriteLocation

    I wasn't being careful enough with locks so it wasn't right anyway.
    Instead this builds a synthetic Tranlog.Location when you call
    getWriteLocation with much more relaxed equality guarantees. Rather
    than being equal to the last Translog.Location returned it is
    simply guaranteed to be greater than the last translog returned
    and less than the next.

    Move refresh listeners into their own class

    They still live at the IndexShard level but they live on their
    own in RefreshListeners which interacts with IndexShard using a
    couple of callbacks and a registration method. This lets us test
    the listeners without standing up an entire IndexShard. We still
    test the listeners against an InternalEngine, because the interplay
    between InternalEngine, Translog, and RefreshListeners is complex
    and important to get right.

    Switch to estimated count

    We don't need a linear time count of the number of listeners - a volatile
    variable is good enough to guess. It probably undercounts more than it
    overcounts but it isn't a huge problem.

    Never reply to replica actions while you have the operation lock

    This last thing was causing periodic test failures because we were
    replying while we had the operation lock. Now, we probably could get
    away with that in most cases but the tests don't like it and it isn't
    a good idea to do network io while you have a lock anyway. So this
    prevents it.

    Don't finish early if the primary finishes early

    We use a "fake" pending shard that we resolve when the replicas have
    all started.

    Make performOnPrimary asyncS

    Instead of returning Tuple<Response, ReplicaRequest> it returns
    ReplicaRequest and takes a ActionListener<Response> as an argument.
    We call the listener immediately to preserve backwards compatibility
    for now.

    Create ReplicatedMutationRequest

    Superclass for index, delete, and bulkShard requests.

    Create TransportReplicatedMutationAction

    It is the superclass of replication actions that mutate data: index, delete,
    and shardBulk. shardFlush and shardRefresh are replication actions but they
    do not extend TransportReplicatedMutationAction because they don't change
    the data, only shuffle it around.

README.asciidoc

The Elasticsearch docs are in AsciiDoc format and can be built using the
Elasticsearch documentation build process.

See: https://github.com/elastic/docs

Snippets marked with `// CONSOLE` are automatically annotated with "VIEW IN
SENSE" in the documentation and are automatically tested by the command
`gradle :docs:check`. By default `// CONSOLE` snippet runs as its own isolated
test. You can manipulate the test execution in the following ways:

* `// TEST`: Explicitly marks a snippet as a test. Snippets marked this way
are tests even if they don't have `// CONSOLE`.
  * `// TEST[s/foo/bar/]`: Replace `foo` with `bar` in the test. This should be
  used sparingly because it makes the test "lie". Sometimes, though, you can use
  it to make the tests more clear.
  * `// TEST[catch:foo]`: Used to expect errors in the requests. Replace `foo`
  with `request` to expect a 400 error, for example. If the snippet contains
  multiple requests then only the last request will expect the error.
  * `// TEST[continued]`: Continue the test started in the last snippet. Between
  tests the nodes are cleaned: indexes are removed, etc. This will prevent that.
  This is really useful when you have text and snippets that work together to
  tell the story of some use case because it merges the snippets (and thus the
  use case) into one big test.
  * `// TEST[skip:reason]`: Skip this test. Replace `reason` with the actual
  reason to skip the test. Snippets without `// TEST` or `// CONSOLE` aren't
  considered tests anyway but this is useful for explicitly documenting the
  reason why the test shouldn't be run.
  * `// TEST[setup:name]`: Run some setup code before running the snippet. This
  is useful for creating and populating indexes used in the snippet. The setup
  code is defined in `docs/build.gradle`.
* `// TESTRESPONSE`: Matches this snippet against the body of the response of
  the last test. If the response is JSON then order is ignored. With
  `// TEST[continued]` you can make tests that contain multiple command snippets
  and multiple response snippets.
  * `// TESTRESPONSE[s/foo/bar/]`: Substitutions. See `// TEST[s/foo/bar]`.
* `// TESTSETUP`: Marks this snippet as the "setup" for all other snippets in
  this file. This is a somewhat natural way of structuring documentation. You
  say "this is the data we use to explain this feature" then you add the
  snippet that you mark `// TESTSETUP` and then every snippet will turn into
  a test that runs the setup snippet first. See the "painless" docs for a file
  that puts this to good use. This is fairly similar to `// TEST[setup:name]`
  but rather than the setup defined in `docs/build.gradle` the setup is defined
  right in the documentation file.

Any place you can use json you can use elements like `$body.path.to.thing`
which is replaced on the fly with the contents of the thing at `path.to.thing`
in the last response.
