Today's network config docs are split into "Network", "HTTP" and
"Transport" pages, with unclear relationships between them. We often
encounter users with weird configs that indicate they don't really
understand how these settings all relate. In fact these pages are all
very interrelated, and the HTTP and Transport pages are almost all only
for advanced users. This commit brings these docs into a single page and
rewords some things to try and guide users away from the advanced
settings unless their configuration needs all the extra complexity.
It also adds a section entitled "Binding and publishing" which clarifies
the meanings of the `bind_host` and `publish_host` parameters. This is
also a common source of confusion amongst users.
It also clarifies that many of these settings accept a list of
addresses, and warns that this may not be what you want. Closes#67956.

* Clarify that field data cache includes global ordinals
* Describe that the cache should be cleared once the limit is reached
* Clarify that the `_id` field does not supported aggregations anymore
* Fold the `fielddata` mapping parameter page into the `text field docs
* Improve cross-linking
Revises the current 'How to avoid oversharding' docs to incorporate
information from our [shard sizing blog post][0].
Changes:
* Streamlines introduction
* Adds "Things to remember" section to describe how shards work
* Adds "Guidelines" section based on blog tips
* Creates a "Fix an oversharded cluster" section
[0]: https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-many-shards-should-i-have-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster
Changes:
* Moves `Retrieve selected fields` to its own page and adds a title abbreviation.
* Adds existing script and stored fields content to `Retrieve selected fields`
* Adds a xref for `Retrieve selected fields` to `Search your data`
* Adds related redirects and updates existing xrefs
Moves the highlighting docs from the deprecated 'Request Body Search'
chapter to the new subpage of the 'Run a search chapter' section.
No substantive changes were made to the content.
Adds a detailed example to the "Avoid scripts" section of the "Tune
for search speed" docs. The detail outlines how a script used to
transform indexed data can be moved to ingest.
The update also removes an outdated reference to supported script
languages.
This field is a specialization of the `keyword` field for the case when all
documents have the same value. It typically performs more efficiently than
keywords at query time by figuring out whether all or none of the documents
match at rewrite time, like `term` queries on `_index`.
The name is up for discussion. I liked including `keyword` in it, so that we
still have room for a `singleton_numeric` in the future. However I'm unsure
whether to call it `singleton`, `constant` or something else, any opinions?
For this field there is a choice between
1. accepting values in `_source` when they are equal to the value configured
in mappings, but rejecting mapping updates
2. rejecting values in `_source` but then allowing updates to the value that
is configured in the mapping
This commit implements option 1, so that it is possible to reindex from/to an
index that has the field mapped as a keyword with no changes to the source.
We should be more explicit about the downsides of disabling replicas and
explain that users should be ready to re-do the entire load in case of
issues mid-way.
One architecture that we have recommended to several users to speed up
indexing involved using CCR to prevent searching from stealing resources
from indexing.
The docs/reference/redirects.asciidoc file stores a list of relocated or
deleted pages for the Elasticsearch Reference documentation.
This prunes several older redirects that are no longer needed and
don't require work to fix broken links in other repositories.
Users often mistakenly map numeric IDs to numeric datatypes. However,
this is often slow for the `term` and other term-level queries.
The "Tune for search speed" docs includes advice for mapping numeric
IDs to `keyword` fields. However, this tip is not included in the
`numeric` or `keyword` field datatype doc pages.
This rewords the tip in the "Tune for search speed" docs, relocates it
to the `numeric` field docs, and reuses it using tagged regions.
Some small clarifications about force-merging and global ordinals, particularly
that global ordinals are cheap on a single-segment index and how this relates
to frozen indices.
Fixes#41687
- new `rank_feature`/`script_score` queries
- new `index_phrases`/`index_prefixes` options
- disabling `_field_names` doesn't help anymore
- adaptive replica selection is on by default
