The current consensus is that we don't need info actions for smaller items like
field mappers. We can also remove the usage action since the cluster stats API
now tracks information about mappings, like what field types are defined.
I discussed with @rjernst about what kind of functionality should be
reported in the info API, since it doesn't sound sensible to list every
single feature there. As a guideline, Ryan suggested that functionality
that needs to maintain state should definitely be in the info API, but
probably not field mappers like `constant_keyword`.
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.
The main purpose of this commit is to add a single autoscaling REST
endpoint skeleton, for the purpose of starting to build out the build
and testing infrastructure that will surround it. For example, rather
than commiting a fully-functioning autoscaling API, we introduce here
the skeleton so that we can start wiring up the build and testing
infrastructure, establish security roles/permissions, an so on. This
way, in a forthcoming PR that introduces actual functionality, that PR
will be smaller and have less distractions around that sort of
infrastructure.
This change introduces a new feature for indices so that they can be
hidden from wildcard expansion. The feature is referred to as hidden
indices. An index can be marked hidden through the use of an index
setting, `index.hidden`, at creation time. One primary use case for
this feature is to have a construct that fits indices that are created
by the stack that contain data used for display to the user and/or
intended for querying by the user. The desire to keep them hidden is
to avoid confusing users when searching all of the data they have
indexed and getting results returned from indices created by the
system.
Hidden indices have the following properties:
* API calls for all indices (empty indices array, _all, or *) will not
return hidden indices by default.
* Wildcard expansion will not return hidden indices by default unless
the wildcard pattern begins with a `.`. This behavior is similar to
shell expansion of wildcards.
* REST API calls can enable the expansion of wildcards to hidden
indices with the `expand_wildcards` parameter. To expand wildcards
to hidden indices, use the value `hidden` in conjunction with `open`
and/or `closed`.
* Creation of a hidden index will ignore global index templates. A
global index template is one with a match-all pattern.
* Index templates can make an index hidden, with the exception of a
global index template.
* Accessing a hidden index directly requires no additional parameters.

* Add SLM support to xpack usage and info APIs
This adds the missing xpack usage and info information into the
`/_xpack` and `/_xpack/usage` APIs. The output now looks like:
```
GET /_xpack/usage
{
...
"slm" : {
"available" : true,
"enabled" : true,
"policy_count" : 1,
"policy_stats" : {
"retention_runs" : 0,
...
}
}
```
and
```
GET /_xpack
{
...
"features" : {
...
"slm" : {
"available" : true,
"enabled" : true
},
...
}
}
```
