The completion_time is set as the start_time (already present) plus the 'took'
time that is set in the SearchResponse object and only if the isRunning status == false
since took is set even for in-progress searches.
We use the 'took' field because it is based on relative time, not absolute wall clock time
which can go backwards due to NTP issues. See the comments in TransportSearchAction about
the SearchTimeProvider for details.
Closes#88640
Added documentation to search-across-clusters.asciidoc showing that async-search
can now support the ccs_minimize_roundtrips=true flag and how it behaves relative to
async CCS when ccs_minimize_roundtrips=true.
I also updated the "Don't minimize network roundtrips" section to reflect the fact that the
REST based Search Shards API is no longer called but rather an internal transport-layer only
version of search_shards.
* Support CCS minimize round trips in async search
This commit makes the smallest set of changes to allow async-search based cross-cluster search
to work with the CCS minimize_round_trips feature without changing the internals/architecture of
the search action.
When ccsMinimizeRoundtrips is set to true on SubmitAsyncSearchRequest, the AsyncSearchTask on the
primary CCS coordinator sends a synchronous SearchRequest to all to clusters for a remote coordinator
to orchestrate and return the entire result set to the CCS coordinator as a single response.
This is the same functionality provided by synchronous CCS search using minimize_roundtrips.
Since this is an async search, it means that the async search coordinator has no visibility
into search progress on the remote clusters while they are running the search, thus losing one of
the key features of async search. However, this is a good first approach for improving overall search
latency for cross cluster searches that query a large number of shards on remote clusters, since
Kibana does not currently expose incremental progress of an async search to users.

Removes `testenv` annotations and related code. These annotations originally let you skip x-pack snippet tests in the docs. However, that's no longer possible.
Relates to #79309, #31619
Add a dynamic transient cluster setting search.max_async_search_response_size
that controls the maximum allowed size for a stored async search
response. The default max size is 10Mb. An attempt to store
an async search response larger than this size will result in error.
Relates to #67594
This change adds a new cluster privilege cancel_task that allows to:
Cancel running tasks (_tasks/_cancel).
Cancel and delete async searches.
Today the 'manage' cluster privilege is required to cancel tasks and
to delete async searches when security features are enabled.
This new focused privilege allows to handle tasks and searches only.
The change also adds the privilege to the internal 'kibana_system'
and '_async_search' roles. They both need to be able to cancel tasks
and delete async searches.

This commit renames wait_for_completion to wait_for_completion_timeout in submit async search and get async search.
Also it renames clean_on_completion to keep_on_completion and turns around its behaviour.
Closes#54069
Submit async search forces pre_filter_shard_size for the underlying search that it creates.
With this commit we also prevent users from overriding such default as part of request validation.
The docs snippets for submit async search have proven difficult to test as it is not possible to guarantee that you get a response that is not final, even when providing `wait_for_completion=0`. In the docs we want to show though a proper long-running query, and its first response should be partial rather than final.
With this commit we adapt the docs snippets to show a partial response, and replace under the hood all that's needed to make the snippets tests succeed when we get a final response. Also, increased the timeout so we always get a final response.
Closes#53887Closes#53891
The goal of the version field was to quickly show when you can expect to find something new in the search response, compared to when nothing has changed. This can also be done by looking at the `_shards` section and `num_reduce_phases` returned with the search response. In fact when there has been one or more additional reduction of the results, you can expect new results in the search response. Otherwise, the `_shards` section could notify of additional failures of shards that have completed the query, but that is not a guarantee that their results will be exposed (only when the following partial reduction is performed their results will be available).
That said this commit clarifies this in the docs and removes the version field from the async search response
