We have recently introduced the ability to associate an indexed field with a script. This commit updates the existing mappings stats to output stats about the script, similar to what we already do for runtime fields.
With shared cache searchable snapshots we have shards that have a size
in S3 that differs from the locally occupied disk space. This commit
introduces `store.total_data_set_size` to node and indices stats, allowing to
differ between the two.
Relates #69820
Runtime fields usage is currently reported as part of the xpack feature usage API. Now that runtime fields are part of server, their corresponding stats can be moved to be part of the ordinary mapping stats exposed by the cluster stats API.
Adds support for the include_unloaded_segments flag in node stats, which helps with understanding resource usage of
shared_cache-style searchable snapshots on a per-node basis.
This change adds a new "architectures" section to the
cluster stats, containing a summary of how many nodes
in the cluster are on each processor architecture.
The intention is to make it easier to see whether
clusters are running on aarch64, or mixed x86_64/aarch64,
which may aid support as aarch64 becomes more commonly
used.
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.

This commit adds statistics about the index creation versions to the `/_cluster/stats` endpoint. The
stats look like:
```
{
"_nodes" : {
"total" : 1,
"successful" : 1,
"failed" : 0
},
"indices" : {
"count" : 3,
...
"versions" : [
{
"version" : "8.0.0",
"index_count" : 1,
"primary_shard_count" : 2,
"total_primary_size" : "8.6kb",
"total_primary_bytes" : 8831
},
{
"version" : "7.11.0",
"index_count" : 1,
"primary_shard_count" : 1,
"total_primary_size" : "4.6kb",
"total_primary_bytes" : 4230
}
]
},
...
}
```
(`total_primary_size` is only shown with the `?human` flag)
This is useful for telemetry as it allows us to see if/when a cluster has indices created on a
previous version that would need to be either upgraded or supported during an upgrade.
We were depending on the BouncyCastle FIPS own mechanics to set
itself in approved only mode since we run with the Security
Manager enabled. The check during startup seems to happen before we
set our restrictive SecurityManager though in
org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch , and this means that
BCFIPS would not be in approved only mode, unless explicitly
configured so.
This commit sets the appropriate JVM property to explicitly set
BCFIPS in approved only mode in CI and adds tests to ensure that we
will be running with BCFIPS in approved only mode when we expect to.
It also sets xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled to true for all test clusters
used in fips mode and sets the distribution to the default one. It adds a
password to the elasticsearch keystore for all test clusters that run in fips
mode.
Moreover, it changes a few unit tests where we would use bcrypt even in
FIPS 140 mode. These would still pass since we are bundling our own
bcrypt implementation, but are now changed to use FIPS 140 approved
algorithms instead for better coverage.
It also addresses a number of tests that would fail in approved only mode
Mainly:
Tests that use PBKDF2 with a password less than 112 bits (14char). We
elected to change the passwords used everywhere to be at least 14
characters long instead of mandating
the use of pbkdf2_stretch because both pbkdf2 and
pbkdf2_stretch are supported and allowed in fips mode and it makes sense
to test with both. We could possibly figure out the password algorithm used
for each test and adjust password length accordingly only for pbkdf2 but
there is little value in that. It's good practice to use strong passwords so if
our docs and tests use longer passwords, then it's for the best. The approach
is brittle as there is no guarantee that the next test that will be added won't
use a short password, so we add some testing documentation too.
This leaves us with a possible coverage gap since we do support passwords
as short as 6 characters but we only test with > 14 chars but the
validation itself was not tested even before. Tests can be added in a followup,
outside of fips related context.
Tests that use a PKCS12 keystore and were not already muted.
Tests that depend on running test clusters with a basic license or
using the OSS distribution as FIPS 140 support is not available in
neither of these.
Finally, it adds some information around FIPS 140 testing in our testing
documentation reference so that developers can hopefully keep in
mind fips 140 related intricacies when writing/changing docs.

This commit adds the `index.routing.allocation.prefer._tier` setting to the
`DataTierAllocationDecider`. This special-purpose allocation setting lets a user specify a
preference-based list of tiers for an index to be assigned to. For example, if the setting were set
to:
```
"index.routing.allocation.prefer._tier": "data_hot,data_warm,data_content"
```
If the cluster contains any nodes with the `data_hot` role, the decider will only allow them to be
allocated on the `data_hot` node(s). If there are no `data_hot` nodes, but there are `data_warm` and
`data_content` nodes, then the index will be allowed to be allocated on `data_warm` nodes.
This allows us to specify an index's preference for tier(s) without causing the index to be
unassigned if no nodes of a preferred tier are available.
Subsequent work will change the ILM migration to make additional use of this setting.
Relates to #60848
This commit adds the functionality to allocate newly created indices on nodes in the "hot" tier by
default when they are created.
This does not break existing behavior, as nodes with the `data` role are considered to be part of
the hot tier. Users that separate their deployments by using the `data_hot` (and `data_warm`,
`data_cold`, `data_frozen`) roles will have their data allocated on the hot tier nodes now by
default.
This change is a little more complicated than changing the default value for
`index.routing.allocation.include._tier` from null to "data_hot". Instead, this adds the ability to
have a plugin inject a setting into the builder for a newly created index. This has the benefit of
allowing this setting to be visible as part of the settings when retrieving the index, for example:
```
// Create an index
PUT /eggplant
// Get an index
GET /eggplant?flat_settings
```
Returns the default settings now of:
```json
{
"eggplant" : {
"aliases" : { },
"mappings" : { },
"settings" : {
"index.creation_date" : "1597855465598",
"index.number_of_replicas" : "1",
"index.number_of_shards" : "1",
"index.provided_name" : "eggplant",
"index.routing.allocation.include._tier" : "data_hot",
"index.uuid" : "6ySG78s9RWGystRipoBFCA",
"index.version.created" : "8000099"
}
}
}
```
After the initial setting of this setting, it can be treated like any other index level setting.
This new setting is *not* set on a new index if any of the following is true:
- The index is created with an `index.routing.allocation.include.<anything>` setting
- The index is created with an `index.routing.allocation.exclude.<anything>` setting
- The index is created with an `index.routing.allocation.require.<anything>` setting
- The index is created with a null `index.routing.allocation.include._tier` value
- The index was created from an existing source metadata (shrink, clone, split, etc)

Transport connections between nodes remain in place until one or other
node shuts down or the connection is disrupted by a flaky network.
Today it is very difficult to demonstrate that transient failures and
cluster instability are caused by the network even though this is often
the case. In particular, transport connections open and close without
logging anything, even at `DEBUG` level, making it very hard to quantify
the scale of the problem or to correlate the networking problems with
external events.
This commit adds the missing `DEBUG`-level logging when transport
connections open and close, and also tracks the total number of
transport connections a node has opened as a measure of the stability of
the underlying network.
Today `GET _nodes/stats/fs` includes `{least,most}_usage_estimate`
fields for some nodes. These fields have rather strange semantics. They
are only reported on the elected master and on nodes that have been the
elected master since they were last restarted; when a node stops being
the elected master these stats remain in place but we stop updating them
so they may become arbitrarily stale.
This means that these statistics are pretty meaningless and impossible
to use correctly. Even if they were kept up to date they're never
reported for data-only nodes anyway, despite the fact that data nodes
are the ones where we care most about disk usage. The information needed
to compute the path with the least/most available space is already
provided in the rest the stats output, so we can treat the inclusion of
these stats as a bug and fix it by simply removing them in this commit.
Since these stats were always optional and mostly omitted (for opaque
reasons) this is not considered a breaking change.
Today the disk-based shard allocator accounts for incoming shards by
subtracting the estimated size of the incoming shard from the free space on the
node. This is an overly conservative estimate if the incoming shard has almost
finished its recovery since in that case it is already consuming most of the
disk space it needs.
This change adds to the shard stats a measure of how much larger each store is
expected to grow, computed from the ongoing recovery, and uses this to account
for the disk usage of incoming shards more accurately.
We document that the cluster state API is an internal representation which may
change, but apparently not emphatically enough. This commit adds a `NOTE:`
admonition to this paragraph.
I see occasional confusion about the explanations emitted by the same-shard
allocation decider, particularly amongst new users setting up a single-node
cluster and trying to determine why their cluster has `yellow` health. For
example:
the shard cannot be allocated to the same node on which a copy of the shard
already exists
This is technically correct but it's quite a complicated sentence. Also, by
starting with "the shard cannot be allocated" it makes it sound like this is
the problem, whereas in fact this message is a good thing and users should
typically focus their attention elsewhere.
This commit simplifies the wording of these messages and makes them sound more
positive, for example:
a copy of this shard is already allocated to this node

PR #51260 moved usage counts about mapping field types and analysis to
the `_cluster/stats` API.
This documents those stats in the response section of the cluster stats
API docs.
The secure_settings_password was never taken into consideration in
the ReloadSecureSettings API. This commit fixes that and adds
necessary REST layer testing. Doing so, it also
- Allows TestClusters to have a password protected keystore
so that it can be set for tests.
- Adds a parameter to the run task so that elastisearch can
be run with a password protected keystore from source.
The use of available processors, the terminology, and the settings
around it have evolved over time. This commit cleans up some places in
the codes and in the docs to adjust to the current terminology.
With this change, when a task is canceled, the task manager will cancel
not only its direct child tasks but all also its descendant tasks.
Closes#50990
Today when canceling a task we broadcast ban/unban requests to all nodes
in the cluster. This strategy does not scale well for hierarchical
cancellation. With this change, we will track outstanding child requests
and broadcast the cancellation to only nodes that have outstanding child
tasks. This change also prevents a parent task from sending child
requests once it got canceled.

The work to read the passphrase in Elasticsearch when
loading, which will be addressed in a different PR.
Subcommands of elasticsearch-keystore can handle (open and create)
passphrase protected keystores
When reading a keystore, a user is only prompted for a passphrase
only if the keystore is passphrase protected.
When creating a keystore, a user is allowed (default behavior) to create one with an
empty passphrase
Passphrase can be set to be empty when changing/setting it for an
existing keystore

* Restore behavior for force parameter (#44847)
Turns out that the behavior of `-f` for the add and add-file sub
commands where it would also forcibly create the keystore if it
didn't exist, was by design - although undocumented.
This change restores that behavior auto-creating a keystore that
is not password protected if the force flag is used. The force
OptionSpec is moved to the BaseKeyStoreCommand as we will presumably
want to maintain the same behavior in any other command that takes
a force option.
* Handle pwd protected keystores in all CLI tools (#45289)
This change ensures that `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` and
`elasticsearch-saml-metadata` can handle a password protected
elasticsearch.keystore.
For setup passwords the user would be prompted to add the
elasticsearch keystore password upon running the tool. There is no
option to pass the password as a parameter as we assume the user is
present in order to enter the desired passwords for the built-in
users.
For saml-metadata, we prompt for the keystore password at all times
even though we'd only need to read something from the keystore when
there is a signing or encryption configuration.
* Modify docs for setup passwords and saml metadata cli (#45797)
Adds a sentence in the documentation of `elasticsearch-setup-passwords`
and `elasticsearch-saml-metadata` to describe that users would be
prompted for the keystore's password when running these CLI tools,
when the keystore is password protected.

* Elasticsearch keystore passphrase for startup scripts (#44775)
This commit allows a user to provide a keystore password on Elasticsearch
startup, but only prompts when the keystore exists and is encrypted.
The entrypoint in Java code is standard input. When the Bootstrap class is
checking for secure keystore settings, it checks whether or not the keystore
is encrypted. If so, we read one line from standard input and use this as the
password. For simplicity's sake, we allow a maximum passphrase length of 128
characters. (This is an arbitrary limit and could be increased or eliminated.
It is also enforced in the keystore tools, so that a user can't create a
password that's too long to enter at startup.)
In order to provide a password on standard input, we have to account for four
different ways of starting Elasticsearch: the bash startup script, the Windows
batch startup script, systemd startup, and docker startup. We use wrapper
scripts to reduce systemd and docker to the bash case: in both cases, a
wrapper script can read a passphrase from the filesystem and pass it to the
bash script.
In order to simplify testing the need for a passphrase, I have added a
has-passwd command to the keystore tool. This command can run silently, and
exit with status 0 when the keystore has a password. It exits with status 1 if
the keystore doesn't exist or exists and is unencrypted.
A good deal of the code-change in this commit has to do with refactoring
packaging tests to cleanly use the same tests for both the "archive" and the
"package" cases. This required not only moving tests around, but also adding
some convenience methods for an abstraction layer over distribution-specific
commands.
* Adjust docs for password protected keystore (#45054)
This commit adds relevant parts in the elasticsearch-keystore
sub-commands reference docs and in the reload secure settings API
doc.
* Fix failing Keystore Passphrase test for feature branch (#50154)
One problem with the passphrase-from-file tests, as written, is that
they would leave a SystemD environment variable set when they failed,
and this setting would cause elasticsearch startup to fail for other
tests as well. By using a try-finally, I hope that these tests will fail
more gracefully.
It appears that our Fedora and Ubuntu environments may be configured to
store journald information under /var rather than under /run, so that it
will persist between boots. Our destructive tests that read from the
journal need to account for this in order to avoid trying to limit the
output we check in tests.
* Run keystore management tests on docker distros (#50610)
* Add Docker handling to PackagingTestCase
Keystore tests need to be able to run in the Docker case. We can do this
by using a DockerShell instead of a plain Shell when Docker is running.
* Improve ES startup check for docker
Previously we were checking truncated output for the packaged JDK as
an indication that Elasticsearch had started. With new preliminary
password checks, we might get a false positive from ES keystore
commands, so we have to check specifically that the Elasticsearch
class from the Bootstrap package is what's running.
* Test password-protected keystore with Docker (#50803)
This commit adds two tests for the case where we mount a
password-protected keystore into a Docker container and provide a
password via a Docker environment variable.
We also fix a logging bug where we were logging the identifier for an
array of strings rather than the contents of that array.
* Add documentation for keystore startup prompting (#50821)
When a keystore is password-protected, Elasticsearch will prompt at
startup. This commit adds documentation for this prompt for the archive,
systemd, and Docker cases.

* Restore handling of string input
Adds tests that were mistakenly removed. One of these tests proved
we were not handling the the stdin (-x) option correctly when no

instead of using readline() that might return null
* Apply spotless reformatting
* Use '--since' flag to get recent journal messages
When we get Elasticsearch logs from journald, we want to fetch only log
messages from the last run. There are two reasons for this. First, if
there are many logs, we might get a string that's too large for our
utility methods. Second, when we're looking for a specific message or
error, we almost certainly want to look only at messages from the last
execution.
Previously, we've been trying to do this by clearing out the physical
files under the journald process. But there seems to be some contention
over these directories: if journald writes a log file in between when
our deletion command deletes the file and when it deletes the log
directory, the deletion will fail.
It seems to me that we might be able to use journald's "--since" flag to
retrieve only log messages from the last run, and that this might be
less likely to fail due to race conditions in file deletion.
Unfortunately, it looks as if the "--since" flag has a granularity of
one-second. I've added a two-second sleep to make sure that there's a
sufficient gap between the test that will read from journald and the
test before it.

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.

The `GET /_cluster/state` API returns an internal representation of the cluster
state that does change from version to version. It's useful for debugging, but
it is not intended for regular use by clients.
This change adjusts the documentation of `GET /_cluster/state` to clarify that
this API yields an internal representation that should not be expected to
remain stable between versions.

This fixes a bug in the sensing of the current OS family in the test cluster
formation code. Previously all builds would assume every environment
was windows and would jump to using the windows zip build. This fixes
the OS sensing code as well as updates some tests to account for
different build flavors.
Today our OS information returned in node stats only returns a
high-level name of the OS (e.g., "Linux"). Yet, for some uses this is
too high-level and knowing at a finer level of granularity the
underlying OS can be useful. This commit extracts the pretty name on
Linux from /etc/os-release. This pretty name usually includes the Linux
vendor and the Linux vendor version number (e.g., Fedora 28).
The `status` part of the tasks API reflects the internal status of a
running task. In general, we do not make backwards breaking changes to
the `status` but because it is internal we reserve the right to do so. I
suspect we will very rarely excercise that right but it is important
that we have it so we're not boxed into any particular implementation
for a request.
In some sense this is policy making by documentation change. In another
it is clarification of the way we've always thought of this field.
I also reflect the documentation change into the Javadoc in a few
places. There I acknowledge Kibana's "special relationship" with
Elasticsearch. Kibana parses `_reindex`'s `status` field and, because
we're friends with those folks, we should talk to them before we make
backwards breaking changes to it. We *want* to be friends with everyone
but there is only so much time in the day and we don't *want* to make
backwards breaking fields to `status` at all anyway. So we hope that
breaking changes documentation should be enough for other folks.

This switches the docs tests from the `oss-zip` distribution to the
`zip` distribution so they have xpack installed and configured with the
default basic license. The goal is to be able to merge the
`x-pack/docs` directory into the `docs` directory, marking the x-pack
docs with some kind of marker. This is the first step in that process.
This also enables `-Dtests.distribution` support for the `docs`
directory so you can run the tests against the `oss-zip` distribution
with something like
```
./gradlew -p docs check -Dtests.distribution=oss-zip
```
We can set up Jenkins to run both.

This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
We had been using `task_id:1` or `taskId:1` because it is parses as a
valid task identifier but the `:1` part is confusing. This replaces
those examples with `task_id` which matches the response from the list
tasks API.
Closes#28314
Currently, the only way to get the REST response for the `/_cluster/state`
call to return the `cluster_uuid` is to request the `metadata` metrics,
which is one of the most expensive response structures. However, external
monitoring agents will likely want the `cluster_uuid` to correlate the
response with other API responses whether or not they want cluster

Add yet another warning about data loss to the introductory paragraph about the
unsafe commands. Also move this paragraph next to the details of the unsafe
commands, below the section on the `retry_failed` flag.
Be more specific about how to use the URI parameters and in-body flags.
Clarify statements about when rebalancing takes place (i.e. it respects
settings)

This commit adds the distribution type to the startup scripts so that we
can discern from log output and the main response the type of the
distribution (deb/rpm/tar/zip).
The suggest stats were folded into the search stats as part of the
indices stats API in 5.0.0. However, the suggest metric remained as a
synonym for the search metric for BWC reasons. This commit deprecates
usage of the suggest metric on the indices stats API.
Similarly, due to the changes to fold the suggest stats into the search
stats, requesting the suggest index metric on the indices metric on the
nodes stats API has produced an empty object as the response since
5.0.0. This commit deprecates this index metric on the indices metric on
the nodes stats API.
The node stats API enables filtlering the top-level stats for only
desired top-level stats. Yet, this was never enabled for adaptive
replica selection stats. This commit enables this. We also add setting
these stats on the request builder, and fix an inconsistent name in a
setter.

Today Cross Cluster Search requires at least one node in each remote cluster to be up once the cross cluster search is run. Otherwise the whole search request fails despite some of the data (either local and/or remote) is available. This happens when performing the _search/shards calls to find out which remote shards the query has to be executed on. This scenario is different from shard failures that may happen later on when the query is actually executed, in case e.g. remote shards are missing, which is not going to fail the whole request but rather yield partial results, and the _shards section in the response will indicate that.
This commit introduces a boolean setting per cluster called search.remote.$cluster_alias.skip_if_disconnected, set to false by default, which allows to skip certain clusters if they are down when trying to reach them through a cross cluster search requests. By default all clusters are mandatory.
Scroll requests support such setting too when they are first initiated (first search request with scroll parameter), but subsequent scroll rounds (_search/scroll endpoint) will fail if some of the remote clusters went down meanwhile.
The search API response contains now a new _clusters section, similar to the _shards section, that gets returned whenever one or more clusters were disconnected and got skipped:
"_clusters" : {
"total" : 3,
"successful" : 2,
"skipped" : 1
}
Such section won't be part of the response if no clusters have been skipped.
The per cluster skip_unavailable setting value has also been added to the output of the remote/info API.
This change adds cgroup memory usage/limit to the OS stats section of
the node stats on Linux. This information is useful because in Docker
containers the standard node stats report the host memory limit, not
taking account of extra restrictions that may have been applied to the
container.
The original idea was to store these values as Long, truncating any values
outside the range of long. However, this meant that in the relatively common
case of no limit being applied, users would not see the same value in the OS
stats as they see by querying Linux directly. So instead the values are stored
as String. This change places a burden on consumers of the strings to
convert the strings to numbers and decide what to do about extremely large
values, but there will be very few consumers and they would need to have a
policy for dealing with "no limit" in any case.
