More logging for slow cluster state application (#45007)
Today the lag detector may remove nodes from the cluster if they fail to apply
a cluster state within a reasonable timeframe, but it is rather unclear from
the default logging that this has occurred and there is very little extra
information beyond the fact that the removed node was lagging. Moreover the
only forewarning that the lag detector might be invoked is a message indicating
that cluster state publication took unreasonably long, which does not contain
enough information to investigate the problem further.

This commit adds a good deal more detail to make the issues of slow nodes more
prominent:

- after 10 seconds (by default) we log an INFO message indicating that a
  publication is still waiting for responses from some nodes, including the
  identities of the problematic nodes.

- when the publication times out after 30 seconds (by default) we log a WARN
  message identifying the nodes that are still pending.

- the lag detector logs a more detailed warning when a fatally-lagging node is
  detected.

- if applying a cluster state takes too long then the cluster applier service
  logs a breakdown of all the tasks it ran as part of that process.

Clarify which circuit breaker settings are static (#44992)
Most of the circuit breaker settings are dynamically configurable.
However, `indices.breaker.total.use_real_memory` is not. With this
commit we add a clarifying note that this specific setting is static.

Closes #44974

[DOCS] Replace `_meta` with `metadata` for snapshot APIs. (#44596)
elastic/elasticsearch#41281 added custom metadata parameter to
snapshots. During review, the parameter name was changed from '_meta' to
'metadata,' but the documentation wasn't updated. This corrects the
documentation to use the 'metadata' name.

Add Snapshot Lifecycle Management (#43934)
* Add SnapshotLifecycleService and related CRUD APIs

This commit adds `SnapshotLifecycleService` as a new service under the ilm
plugin. This service handles snapshot lifecycle policies by scheduling based on
the policies defined schedule.

This also includes the get, put, and delete APIs for these policies

Relates to #38461

* Make scheduledJobIds return an immutable set

* Use Object.equals for SnapshotLifecyclePolicy

* Remove unneeded TODO

* Implement ToXContentFragment on SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem

* Copy contents of the scheduledJobIds

* Handle snapshot lifecycle policy updates and deletions (#40062)

(Note this is a PR against the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` feature branch)

This adds logic to `SnapshotLifecycleService` to handle updates and deletes for
snapshot policies. Policies with incremented versions have the old policy
cancelled and the new one scheduled. Deleted policies have their schedules
cancelled when they are no longer present in the cluster state metadata.

Relates to #38461

* Take a snapshot for the policy when the SLM policy is triggered (#40383)

(This is a PR for the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)

This commit fills in `SnapshotLifecycleTask` to actually perform the
snapshotting when the policy is triggered. Currently there is no handling of the
results (other than logging) as that will be added in subsequent work.

This also adds unit tests and an integration test that schedules a policy and
ensures that a snapshot is correctly taken.

Relates to #38461

* Record most recent snapshot policy success/failure (#40619)

Keeping a record of the results of the successes and failures will aid
troubleshooting of policies and make users more confident that their
snapshots are being taken as expected.

This is the first step toward writing history in a more permanent
fashion.

* Validate snapshot lifecycle policies (#40654)

(This is a PR against the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)

With the commit, we now validate the content of snapshot lifecycle policies when
the policy is being created or updated. This checks for the validity of the id,
name, schedule, and repository. Additionally, cluster state is checked to ensure
that the repository exists prior to the lifecycle being added to the cluster
state.

Part of #38461

* Hook SLM into ILM's start and stop APIs (#40871)

(This pull request is for the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)

This change allows the existing `/_ilm/stop` and `/_ilm/start` APIs to also
manage snapshot lifecycle scheduling. When ILM is stopped all scheduled jobs are
cancelled.

Relates to #38461

* Add tests for SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem (#40912)

Adds serialization tests for SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem.

* Fix improper import in build.gradle after master merge

* Add human readable version of modified date for snapshot lifecycle policy (#41035)

* Add human readable version of modified date for snapshot lifecycle policy

This small change changes it from:

```
...
"modified_date": 1554843903242,
...
```

To

```
...
"modified_date" : "2019-04-09T21:05:03.242Z",
"modified_date_millis" : 1554843903242,
...
```

Including the `"modified_date"` field when the `?human` field is used.

Relates to #38461

* Fix test

* Add API to execute SLM policy on demand (#41038)

This commit adds the ability to perform a snapshot on demand for a policy. This
can be useful to take a snapshot immediately prior to performing some sort of
maintenance.

```json
PUT /_ilm/snapshot/<policy>/_execute
```

And it returns the response with the generated snapshot name:

```json
{
  "snapshot_name" : "production-snap-2019.04.09-rfyv3j9qreixkdbnfuw0ug"
}
```

Note that this does not allow waiting for the snapshot, and the snapshot could
still fail. It *does* record this information into the cluster state similar to
a regularly trigged SLM job.

Relates to #38461

* Add next_execution to SLM policy metadata (#41221)

* Add next_execution to SLM policy metadata

This adds the next time a snapshot lifecycle policy will be executed when
retriving a policy's metadata, for example:

```json
GET /_ilm/snapshot?human
{
  "production" : {
    "version" : 1,
    "modified_date" : "2019-04-15T21:16:21.865Z",
    "modified_date_millis" : 1555362981865,
    "policy" : {
      "name" : "<production-snap-{now/d}>",
      "schedule" : "*/30 * * * * ?",
      "repository" : "repo",
      "config" : {
        "indices" : [
          "foo-*",
          "important"
        ],
        "ignore_unavailable" : true,
        "include_global_state" : false
      }
    },
    "next_execution" : "2019-04-15T21:16:30.000Z",
    "next_execution_millis" : 1555362990000
  },
  "other" : {
    "version" : 1,
    "modified_date" : "2019-04-15T21:12:19.959Z",
    "modified_date_millis" : 1555362739959,
    "policy" : {
      "name" : "<other-snap-{now/d}>",
      "schedule" : "0 30 2 * * ?",
      "repository" : "repo",
      "config" : {
        "indices" : [
          "other"
        ],
        "ignore_unavailable" : false,
        "include_global_state" : true
      }
    },
    "next_execution" : "2019-04-16T02:30:00.000Z",
    "next_execution_millis" : 1555381800000
  }
}
```

Relates to #38461

* Fix and enhance tests

* Figured out how to Cron

* Change SLM endpoint from /_ilm/* to /_slm/* (#41320)

This commit changes the endpoint for snapshot lifecycle management from:

```
GET /_ilm/snapshot/<policy>
```

to:

```
GET /_slm/policy/<policy>
```

It mimics the ILM path only using `slm` instead of `ilm`.

* Add initial documentation for SLM (#41510)

* Add initial documentation for SLM

This adds the initial documentation for snapshot lifecycle management.

Relates to #38461

* Add `manage_slm` and `read_slm` roles (#41607)

* Add `manage_slm` and `read_slm` roles

This adds two more built in roles -

`manage_slm` which has permission to perform any of the SLM actions, as well as
stopping, starting, and retrieving the operation status of ILM.

`read_slm` which has permission to retrieve snapshot lifecycle policies as well
as retrieving the operation status of ILM.

Relates to #38461

* Add execute to the test

* Fix ilm -> slm typo in test

* Record SLM history into an index (#41707)

It is useful to have a record of the actions that Snapshot Lifecycle
Management takes, especially for the purposes of alerting when a
snapshot fails or has not been taken successfully for a certain amount of
time.

This adds the infrastructure to record SLM actions into an index that
can be queried at leisure, along with a lifecycle policy so that this
history does not grow without bound.

Additionally,
SLM automatically setting up an index + lifecycle policy leads to
`index_lifecycle` custom metadata in the cluster state, which some of
the ML tests don't know how to deal with due to setting up custom
`NamedXContentRegistry`s.  Watcher would cause the same problem, but it
is already disabled (for the same reason).

This commit adds a basic Getting Started Guide for SLM.

* Include SLM policy name in Snapshot metadata (#43132)

Keep track of which SLM policy in the metadata field of the Snapshots
taken by SLM. This allows users to more easily understand where the
snapshot came from, and will enable future SLM features such as
retention policies.

[DOC] Backup & Restore Security Configuration (#42970)
This commit documents the backup and restore of a cluster's
security configuration.

It is not possible to only backup (or only restore) security
configuration, independent to the rest of the cluster's conf,
so this describes how a full configuration backup&restore
will include security as well. Moreover, it explains how part
of the security conf data resides on the special .security
index and how to backup that using regular data snapshot API.

Add voting-only master node (#43410)
A voting-only master-eligible node is a node that can participate in master elections but will not act
as a master in the cluster. In particular, a voting-only node can help elect another master-eligible
node as master, and can serve as a tiebreaker in elections. High availability (HA) clusters require at
least three master-eligible nodes, so that if one of the three nodes is down, then the remaining two
can still elect a master amongst them-selves. This only requires one of the two remaining nodes to
have the capability to act as master, but both need to have voting powers. This means that one of
the three master-eligible nodes can be made as voting-only. If this voting-only node is a dedicated
master, a less powerful machine or a smaller heap-size can be chosen for this node. Alternatively, a
voting-only non-dedicated master node can play the role of the third master-eligible node, which
allows running an HA cluster with only two dedicated master nodes.

Closes #14340

More improvements to cluster coordination docs (#42799)

* clarifies that bootstrapping doesn't happen even after a full cluster
  restart.

* removes the example that uses IP addresses, to try and further encourage the
  use of node names for bootstrapping.

* clarifies that auto-bootstrapping might form different clusters on different
  hosts, and gives a process for starting again if this wasn't what you wanted.

* adds the "do not stop half-or-more of the master-eligible nodes" slogan that
  was notably absent.

* reformats one of the console examples to a narrower width

Tie break search shard iterator comparisons on cluster alias (#38853)
`SearchShardIterator` inherits its `compareTo` implementation from `PlainShardIterator`. That is good in most of the cases, as such comparisons are based on the shard id which is unique, even when searching against indices with same names across multiple clusters (thanks to the index uuid being different). In case though the same cluster is registered multiple times with different aliases, the shard id is exactly the same, hence remote results will be returned before local ones with same shard id objects. That is because remote iterators are added before local ones, and we use a stable sorting method in `GroupShardIterators` constructor.

This PR enhances `compareTo` for `SearchShardIterator` to tie break on cluster alias and introduces consistent `equals` and `hashcode` methods. This allows to remove a TODO in `SearchResponseMerger` which otherwise has to handle this special case specifically. Also, while at it I added missing tests around equals/hashcode and compareTo and expanded existing ones.

Add finalReduce flag to SearchRequest (#38104)
With #37000 we made sure that fnial reduction is automatically disabled
whenever a localClusterAlias is provided with a SearchRequest.

While working on #37838, we found a scenario where we do need to set a
localClusterAlias yet we would like to perform a final reduction in the
remote cluster: when searching on a single remote cluster.

Relates to #32125

This commit adds support for a separate finalReduce flag to
SearchRequest and makes use of it in TransportSearchAction in case we
are searching against a single remote cluster.

This also makes sure that num_reduce_phases is correct when searching
against a single remote cluster: it makes little sense to return
`num_reduce_phases` set to `2`, which looks especially weird in case
the search was performed against a single remote shard. We should
perform one reduction phase only in this case and `num_reduce_phases`
should reflect that.

Introduce ability to minimize round-trips in CCS (#37828)
With #37566 we have introduced the ability to merge multiple search responses into one. That makes it possible to expose a new way of executing cross-cluster search requests, that makes CCS much faster whenever there is network latency between the CCS coordinating node and the remote clusters. The coordinating node can now send a single search request to each remote cluster, which gets reduced by each one of them. from + size results are requested to each cluster, and the reduce phase in each cluster is non final (meaning that buckets are not pruned and pipeline aggs are not executed). The CCS coordinating node performs an additional, final reduction, which produces one search response out of the multiple responses received from the different clusters.

This new execution path will be activated by default for any CCS request unless a scroll is provided or inner hits are requested as part of field collapsing. The search API accepts now a new parameter called ccs_minimize_roundtrips that allows to opt-out of the default behaviour.

Christoph Büscher 25aac4f77f
Remove `include_type_name` in asciidoc where possible (#37568)
The "include_type_name" parameter was temporarily introduced in #37285 to facilitate
moving the default parameter setting to "false" in many places in the documentation
code snippets. Most of the places can simply be reverted without causing errors.
In this change I looked for asciidoc files that contained the
"include_type_name=true" addition when creating new indices but didn't look
likey they made use of the "_doc" type for mappings. This is mostly the case
e.g. in the analysis docs where index creating often only contains settings. I
manually corrected the use of types in some places where the docs still used an
explicit type name and not the dummy "_doc" type.

* Fix GetFieldMappingsResponseTests and GetIndexTemplateResponseTests.

We make sure to specify include_type_name=true during xContent parsing,
so we continue to test the legacy typed responses. XContent generation
for the typeless responses is currently only covered by REST tests,
but we will be adding unit test coverage for these as we implement
each typeless API in the Java HLRC.

This commit also refactors GetMappingsResponse to follow the same appraoch
as the other mappings-related responses, where we read include_type_name
out of the xContent params, instead of creating a second toXContent method.
This gives better consistency in the response parsing code.

* Fix more REST tests.

* Improve some wording in the create index documentation.

* Add a note about types removal in the create index docs.

* Fix SmokeTestMonitoringWithSecurityIT#testHTTPExporterWithSSL.

* Make sure to mention include_type_name in the REST docs for affected APIs.

Reduce recovery time with compress or secure transport (#36981)
Today file-chunks are sent sequentially one by one in peer-recovery. This is a
correct choice since the implementation is straightforward and recovery is
network bound in most of the time. However, if the connection is encrypted, we
might not be able to saturate the network pipe because encrypting/decrypting
are cpu bound rather than network-bound.

With this commit, a source node can send multiple (default to 2) file-chunks
without waiting for the acknowledgments from the target.

Below are the benchmark results for PMC and NYC_taxis.

Only compress responses if request was compressed (#36867)
This is a follow-up to some discussions around #36399. Currently we have
relatively confusing compression behavior where compression can be
configured for requests based on transport.compress or a specific
setting for a remote cluster. However, we can only compress responses
based on transport.compress as we do not know where a request is
coming from (currently).

This commit modifies the behavior to NEVER compress responses based on
settings. Instead, a response will only be compressed if the request was
compressed. This commit also updates the documentation to more clearly
described transport level compression.

Periodically try to reassign unassigned persistent tasks (#36069)
Previously persistent task assignment was checked in the
following situations:

- Persistent tasks are changed
- A node joins or leaves the cluster
- The routing table is changed
- Custom metadata in the cluster state is changed
- A new master node is elected

However, there could be situations when a persistent
task that could not be assigned to a node could become
assignable due to some other change, such as memory
usage on the nodes.

This change adds a timed recheck of persistent task
assignment to account for such situations.  The timer
is suspended while checks triggered by cluster state
changes are in-flight to avoid adding burden to an
already busy cluster.

Make hits.total an object in the search response (#35849)
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

Allow to enable pings for specific remote clusters (#34753)
When we connect to remote clusters, there may be a few more routers/firewalls in-between compared to when we connect to nodes in the same cluster. We've experienced cases where firewalls drop connections completely and keep-alives seem not to be enough, or they are not properly configured. With this commit we allow to enable application-level pings specifically from CCS nodes to the selected remote nodes through the new setting `cluster.remote.${clusterAlias}.transport.ping_schedule`.  The new setting is similar `transport.ping_schedule` but it does not affect intra-cluster communication, pings are only sent to specific remote cluster when specifically enabled, as they are disabled by default.

including live docs markers. Snapshots taken with the `source` repository

functionality such that it requires full re-indexing after it's successfully restored.

The restore process will copy the `_source` data locally starts a special shard and engine
to allow `match_all` scrolls and searches. Any other query, or get call will fail with and unsupported operation exception.  The restored index is also marked as read-only.

This feature aims mainly for disaster recovery use-cases where snapshot size is

Move file-based discovery to core (#33241)
Today we support a static list of seed hosts in core Elasticsearch, and allow a
dynamic list of seed hosts to be provided via a file using the `discovery-file`
plugin. In fact the ability to provide a dynamic list of seed hosts is
increasingly useful, so this change moves this functionality to core
Elasticsearch to avoid the need for a plugin.

Furthermore, in order to start up nodes in integration tests we currently
assign a known port to each node before startup, which unfortunately sometimes
fails if another process grabs the selected port in the meantime. By moving the
`discovery-file` functionality into the core product we can use it to avoid
this race.

This change also moves the expected path to the file from
`$ES_PATH_CONF/discovery-file/unicast_hosts.txt` to
`$ES_PATH_CONF/unicast_hosts.txt`. An example of this file is not included in
distributions.

For BWC purposes the plugin still exists, but does nothing more than create the
example file in the old location, and issue a warning when it is used. We also
continue to support the old location for the file, but warn about its
deprecation.

Circuit-break based on real memory usage
With this commit we introduce a new circuit-breaking strategy to the parent
circuit breaker. Contrary to the current implementation which only accounts for
memory reserved via child circuit breakers, the new strategy measures real heap
memory usage at the time of reservation. This allows us to be much more
aggressive with the circuit breaker limit so we bump it to 95% by default. The
new strategy is turned on by default and can be controlled  with the new cluster
setting `indices.breaker.total.userealmemory`.

Note that we turn it off for all integration tests with an internal test cluster
because it leads to spurious test failures which are of no value (we cannot
fully control heap memory usage in tests). All REST tests, however, will make
use of the real memory circuit breaker.

Account for XContent overhead in in-flight breaker
So far the in-flight request circuit breaker has only accounted for the
on-the-wire representation of a request. However, we convert the raw
request into XContent internally which increases the overhead.
Therefore, we increase the value of the corresponding setting
`network.breaker.inflight_requests.overhead` from one to two. While this
value is still rather conservative (we assume that the representation as
structured objects has no overhead compared to the byte[]), it is closer
to reality than the current value.
