This adds more tests for some of the `MV_` functions and updates their
docs now that the railroad diagram and table generated by the tests
covers all of the types.

Fixes https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/99507
Enhance SHOW FUNCTIONS command to return as _structured_ information as
possible about the function signature, ie. - function name - return type
- param names - param types - param descriptions
For now, as an example, the annotations are used only on `sin()` and
`date_parse()` functions; **if we agree on this approach**, I'll proceed
to - enhance all the currently implemented functions with the needed
information - improve the function tests to verify that every new
implemented function provides meaningful information
---
This feature can be useful for the end user, but the main goal is to
give Kibana an easy way to produce in-line documentation (contextual
messages, autocomplete) for functions
Similar to current implementation, that has a `@Named("paramName")`
annotation for function parameters, this PR introduces two more
annotations `@Param(name, type, description, optional)` and
`@FunctionInfo()` to provide information about single parameters and
functions.
The result of `SHOW FUNCTIONS` query will have the following columns: -
name (keyword): the function name - synopsis (keyword): the full
signature of the funciton, eg. `double sin(n:integer|long|double)` -
argNames (keyword MV): the function argument names - argTypes (keyword
MV): the function argument types - argDescriptions (keyword MD): a
textual description of each function argument - returnType (keyword):
the return type of the function - description (keyword): a textual
description of the function
---
Open questions: - ~~how structured shoud *types* be? Eg. should we have
a strict `@Typed("keyword")`/`@Typed({"keyword", "text"})` or should we
have a more generic type description, eg. `@Typed("numeric")`,
`@Typed("any")`? The first one is more useful for API consumption but
it's hard with our complex type system (type classes, custom types,
unsupported and so on); the second one is less structured, but probably
more useful for documentation, that is the most immediate use case of
this feature.~~ All the types are listed explicitly
- ~~we have alternatives for the synopsis, eg.~~
- ~~`functionName(<paramName>:<paramType>, ...): <returnType>`~
- ~~`<returnType> functionName(<paramName>:<paramType>, ...)`~~
- ~~`<returnType> functionName(<paramType> <paramName>, ...)`~~
Using `<returnType> functionName(<paramName>:<paramType>, ...)` for now. If multiple types are supported, then they will be separated by pipes, eg. `double sin(n:integer|long|double)`.
This creates `Block.Ref`, a reference to a `Block` which may or may not
be part of a `Page`. `Block.Ref` is `Releasable` and closing it is a
noop if the `Block` is part of a `Page`, but if it is "free floating"
then closing the `Block.Ref` will close the block.
It also modified `ExpressionEvaluator` to return a `Block.Ref` instead
of a `Block` - so you tend to work with `ExpressionEvaluator`s like
this:
```
try (Block.Ref ref = eval.eval(page)) {
return ref.block().doStuff();
}
```
This should make it *much* easier to release the memory from `Block`s
built by `ExpressionEvaluator`s.
This change is mostly mechanical, introducing the new signature for
`ExpressionEvaluator`. In a follow up change I'll modify the tests to
make sure we're correctly using it to close pages.
I did think about changing `ExpressionEvaluator` to add a method telling
you if the block that it returns must be closed or not. This would have
been more difficult to work with, and, ultimately, limiting.
Specifically, it is possible for an `ExpressionEvaluator` to *sometimes*
return a free floating block and other times return one that is
contained in a `Page`. Imagine `mv_concat` - it returns the block it
receives if the block doesn't have multivalued fields. Otherwise it
concats things. If that block happens to come directly out of the
`Page`, then `mv_concat` will sometimes produce free floating blocks and
sometimes not.
This prevents `CONCAT` from using an unbounded amount of memory by
hooking it's temporary value into the circuit breaker. To do so, it
makes *all* `ExpressionEvaluator`s `Releasable`. Most of the changes in
this PR just plumb that through to every evaluator. The rest of the
changes correctly release evaluators after their use.
I considered another tactic but didn't like it as much, even though the
number of changes would be smaller - I could have created a fresh,
`Releasable` temporary value for every `Page`. It would be pretty
contained keep the releasable there. But I wanted to share the temporary
state across runs to avoid a bunch of allocations.
Here's a script that used to crash before this PR but is fine after:
```
curl -uelastic:password -XDELETE localhost:9200/test
curl -HContent-Type:application/json -uelastic:password -XPUT localhost:9200/test -d'{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"short": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
}'
curl -HContent-Type:application/json -uelastic:password -XPUT localhost:9200/test/_doc/1?refresh -d'{"short": "short"}'
echo -n '{"query": "FROM test ' > /tmp/evil
for i in {0..9}; do
echo -n '| EVAL short = CONCAT(short' >> /tmp/evil
for j in {1..9}; do
echo -n ', short' >> /tmp/evil
done
echo -n ')' >> /tmp/evil
done
echo '| EVAL len = LENGTH(short) | KEEP len"}'>> /tmp/evil
curl -HContent-Type:application/json -uelastic:password -XPOST localhost:9200/_query?pretty --data-binary @/tmp/evil
```
This swaps the argument of `date_extract()`, `date_format()` and
`date_parse()` functions, to align with `date_trunc()`. The field
argument is now always last, even for _format() and _parse(), whose
optional argument will now be provided as the first one.
This adds tests, supported types, and a signature image for `to_string`
and `to_version`. It also fixes the resolution of functions who's names
contain an `_`
Finally, it updates the docs for `ceil` to render the image more nicely.
Add the 'right' function, which extracts a substring beginning from its
right end (opposite function of 'left').

CI will skip building them. Lot's of CI machines don't have font support
so they can't generate these. But all local machine have a GUI so they
can.
Also, super-lazy initialize the font so CI don't bump into it by
accident.
Closes#99018
@nik9000 Recheck out the main branch. Refactor the 'left' function to
cut the prefix string in place. But I meet a adversity that left failed
the test case 'testEvaluateInManyThreads'. I find that in multiple
thread situation, ` EvalOperator.ExpressionEvaluator eval =
evalSupplier.get(); for (int c = 0; c < count; c++) {
assertThat(toJavaObject(eval.eval(page), 0), testCase.getMatcher()); } `
toJavaObject function return a BytesRef with length=2, content is
[81,89]. However, assertThat function in junit4 receive the BytesRef
parameters that its length is 10. Can you give me some clues? I can't
find which variable is mutual.
Rerun failed test case's command: `gradlew ':x-pack:plugin:esql:test'

Add the unary scalar function CEIL.
Analogously to FLOOR, it rounds up its argument.
- Implement CEIL, add it to the function registry and make sure it is serializable.
- Add csv tests, unit tests and docs.
- Add additional csv tests with different data types and some edge cases for both CEIL and FLOOR
- Add unit tests and update docs for FLOOR.
Locks the railroad diagrams to always use the same font, this one named
`roboto mono`. This makes sure that when we render the railroad diagrams
we always size them the same way. Because everyone has a copy of roboto
mono. Because gradle resolves that dependency.
This generates a "railroad diagram" svg image that can be embedded into
the docs for any function to explain it's syntax. It's basic, but it's
something we can iterate on.
It also generates a table of supported types from the list of types that
we test. It can be included in the docs for reference as well.
Here we add support for the following two ESQL functions:
* LTRIM: remove leading spaces from a string
* RTRIM: remove trailing spaces from a string
We also fix an issue with the handling of unicode white spaces. We
make use of unicode code points to identify unicode whitespace
characters instead of relying on ASCII codes.
Moreover, iterating bytes in a Unicode string needs to consider
that some Unicode characters are encoded using multiple bytes.
* Sqrt function for ESQL
Introduces a unary scalar function for square root, which is a thin
wrapper over the Java.Math implementation.
* Fix area for ESQL integration changelog.
* Restore changelog.
* Restore area in changelog.
This adds the `to_degrees` and `to_radians` functions. It uses the
"convert" function framework because that just felt right - these
convert between radians and degrees after all.
This adds the `query` to the main ESQL task so you can see long running
queries. And adds some docs about it including an example of cancelling
a query.

This adds support for numeric fields to `auto_bucket` and adds a new
`floor` function to round numeric down to the nearest integer. That
function is exposed because it's probably useful. I added it in this PR
because `auto_bucket` uses it as an implementation detail as well.
This adds a new ES|QL endpoint, `_query`, to replace the now deprecated
`_esql`. The latter is still kept for a while, emitting a deprecation
warning.
Fixes ESQL-1379.
