This commit adds the new configurable field `custom`.
`custom` indicates if the preprocessor was submitted by a user or automatically created by the analytics job.
Eventually, this field will be used in calculating feature importance. When `custom` is true, the feature importance for
the processed fields is calculated. When `false` the current behavior is the same (we calculate the importance for the originating field/feature).
This also adds new required methods to the preprocessor interface. If users are to supply their own preprocessors
in the analytics job configuration, we need to know the input and output field names.
This adds a setting to data frame analytics jobs called
`max_number_threads`. The setting expects a positive integer.
When used the user specifies the max number of threads that may
be used by the analysis. Note that the actual number of threads
used is limited by the number of processors on the node where
the job is assigned. Also, the process may use a couple more threads
for operational functionality that is not the analysis itself.
This setting may also be updated for a stopped job.
More threads may reduce the time it takes to complete the job at the cost
of using more CPU.
Adds parsing of `status` and `increased_memory_estimate_bytes`
to data frame analytics `memory_usage`. When the training surpasses
the model memory limit, the status will be set to `hard_limit` and
`increased_memory_estimate_bytes` can be used to update the job's
limit in order to restart the job.
When a local model is constructed, the cache hit miss count is incremented.
When a user calls _stats, we will include the sum cache hit miss count across ALL nodes. This statistic is important to in comparing against the inference_count. If the cache hit miss count is near the inference_count it indicates that the cache is overburdened, or inappropriately configured.
Deleting expired data can take a long time leading to timeouts if there
are many jobs. Often the problem is due to a few large jobs which
prevent the regular maintenance of the remaining jobs. This change adds
a job_id parameter to the delete expired data endpoint to help clean up
those problematic jobs.
This PR adds the initial Java side changes to enable
use of the per-partition categorization functionality
added in elastic/ml-cpp#1293.
There will be a followup change to complete the work,
as there cannot be any end-to-end integration tests
until elastic/ml-cpp#1293 is merged, and also
elastic/ml-cpp#1293 does not implement some of the
more peripheral functionality, like stop_on_warn and
per-partition stats documents.
The changes so far cover REST APIs, results object
formats, HLRC and docs.
When we force delete a DF analytics job, we currently first force
stop it and then we proceed with deleting the job config.
This may result in logging errors if the job config is deleted
before it is retrieved while the job is starting.
Instead of force stopping the job, it would make more sense to
try to stop the job gracefully first. So we now try that out first.
If normal stop fails, then we resort to force stopping the job to
ensure we can go through with the delete.
In addition, this commit introduces `timeout` for the delete action
and makes use of it in the child requests.
This adds a max_model_memory setting to forecast requests.
This setting can take a string value that is formatted according to byte sizes (i.e. "50mb", "150mb").
The default value is `20mb`.
There is a HARD limit at `500mb` which will throw an error if used.
If the limit is larger than 40% the anomaly job's configured model limit, the forecast limit is reduced to be strictly lower than that value. This reduction is logged and audited.

Throttling nightly cleanup as much as we do has been over cautious.
Night cleanup should be more lenient in its throttling. We still
keep the same batch size, but now the requests per second scale
with the number of data nodes. If we have more than 5 data nodes,
we don't throttle at all.
Additionally, the API now has `requests_per_second` and `timeout` set.
So users calling the API directly can set the throttling.
This commit also adds a new setting `xpack.ml.nightly_maintenance_requests_per_second`.
This will allow users to adjust throttling of the nightly maintenance.
This PR implements the following changes to make ML model snapshot
retention more flexible in advance of adding a UI for the feature in
an upcoming release.
- The default for `model_snapshot_retention_days` for new jobs is now
10 instead of 1
- There is a new job setting, `daily_model_snapshot_retention_after_days`,
that defaults to 1 for new jobs and `model_snapshot_retention_days`
for pre-7.8 jobs
- For days that are older than `model_snapshot_retention_days`, all
model snapshots are deleted as before
- For days that are in between `daily_model_snapshot_retention_after_days`
and `model_snapshot_retention_days` all but the first model snapshot
for that day are deleted
- The `retain` setting of model snapshots is still respected to allow
selected model snapshots to be retained indefinitely

The failed_category_count statistic records the number of times
categorization wanted to create a new category but couldn't
because the job had reached its model_memory_limit.
Relates elastic/ml-cpp#1130
The ML info endpoint returns the max_model_memory_limit setting
if one is configured. However, it is still possible to create
a job that cannot run anywhere in the current cluster because
no node in the cluster has enough memory to accommodate it.
This change adds an extra piece of information,
limits.effective_max_model_memory_limit, to the ML info
response that returns the biggest model memory limit that could
be run in the current cluster assuming no other jobs were
running.
The idea is that the ML UI will be able to warn users who try to
create jobs with higher model memory limits that their jobs will
not be able to start unless they add a bigger ML node to their
cluster.
Relates elastic/kibana#63942
Adds a "node" field to the response from the following endpoints:
1. Open anomaly detection job
2. Start datafeed
3. Start data frame analytics job
If the job or datafeed is assigned to a node immediately then
this field will return the ID of that node.
In the case where a job or datafeed is opened or started lazily
the node field will contain an empty string. Clients that want
to test whether a job or datafeed was opened or started lazily
can therefore check for this.
Fixes#54067
This paves the data layer way so that exceptionally large models are partitioned across multiple documents.
This change means that nodes before 7.8.0 will not be able to use trained inference models created on nodes on or after 7.8.0.
I chose the definition document limit to be 100. This *SHOULD* be plenty for any large model. One of the largest models that I have created so far had the following stats:
~314MB of inflated JSON, ~66MB when compressed, ~177MB of heap.
With the chunking sizes of `16 * 1024 * 1024` its compressed string could be partitioned to 5 documents.
Supporting models 20 times this size (compressed) seems adequate for now.
Data frame analytics dynamically determines the classification field type. This field type then dictates the encoded JSON that is written to Elasticsearch.
Inference needs to know about this field type so that it may provide the EXACT SAME predicted values as analytics.
Here is added a new field `prediction_field_type` which indicates the desired type. Options are: `string` (DEFAULT), `number`, `boolean` (where close_to(1.0) == true, false otherwise).
Analytics provides the default `prediction_field_type` when the model is created from the process.
A new field called `inference_config` is now added to the trained model config object. This new field allows for default inference settings from analytics or some external model builder.
The inference processor can still override whatever is set as the default in the trained model config.
Secondary authorization headers are to be used to facilitate Kibana spaces support + ML jobs/datafeeds.
Now on PUT/Update/Preview datafeed, and PUT data frame analytics the secondary authorization is preferred over the primary (if provided).

This adds two new fields to category definitions.
- `num_matches` indicating how many documents have been seen by this category
- `preferred_to_categories` indicating which other categories this particular category supersedes when messages are categorized.
These fields are only guaranteed to be up to date after a `_flush` or `_close`

This is a simple naming change PR, to fix the fact that "metadata" is a
single English word, and for too long we have not followed general
naming conventions for it. We are also not consistent about it, for
example, METADATA instead of META_DATA if we were trying to be
consistent with MetaData (although METADATA is correct when considered
in the context of "metadata"). This was a simple find and replace across
the code base, only taking a few minutes to fix this naming issue
forever.
It is possible for ML jobs to open lazily if the "allow_lazy_open"
option in the job config is set to true. Such jobs wait in the
"opening" state until a node has sufficient capacity to run them.
This commit fixes the bug that prevented datafeeds for jobs lazily
waiting assignment from being started. The state of such datafeeds
is "starting", and they can be stopped by the stop datafeed API
while in this state with or without force.
Fixes#53763
Adds a new parameter for classification that enables choosing whether to assign labels to
maximise accuracy or to maximise the minimum class recall.
Fixes#52427.
Adds a new `default_field_map` field to trained model config objects.
This allows the model creator to supply field map if it knows that there should be some map for inference to work directly against the training data.
The use case internally is having analytics jobs supply a field mapping for multi-field fields. This allows us to use the model "out of the box" on data where we trained on `foo.keyword` but the `_source` only references `foo`.
Adds reporting of memory usage for data frame analytics jobs.
This commit introduces a new index pattern `.ml-stats-*` whose
first concrete index will be `.ml-stats-000001`. This index serves
to store instrumentation information for those jobs.
This adds a new configurable field called `indices_options`. This allows users to create or update the indices_options used when a datafeed reads from an index.
This is necessary for the following use cases:
- Reading from frozen indices
- Allowing certain indices in multiple index patterns to not exist yet
These index options are available on datafeed creation and update. Users may specify them as URL parameters or within the configuration object.

Changes the find_file_structure response to include a CSV
ingest processor in the ingest pipeline it suggests.
Previously the Kibana file upload functionality parsed CSV
in the browser, but by parsing CSV in the ingest pipeline
it makes the Kibana file upload functionality more easily
interchangable with Filebeat such that the configurations
it creates can more easily be used to import data with the
same structure repeatedly in production.
Adds a new URL parameter, `tags` to the GET _ml/inference/<model_id> endpoint.
This parameter allows the list of models to be further reduced to those who contain all the provided tags.
Object fields cannot be used as features. At the moment _explain
API includes them and even worse it allows it does not error when
an object field is excluded. This creates the expectation to the
user that all children fields will also be excluded while it's not
the case.
This commit omits object fields from the _explain API and also
adds an error if an object field is included or excluded.
Adds a new parameter to regression and classification that enables computation
of importance for the top most important features. The computation of the importance
is based on SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) method.
Adds a `force` parameter to the delete data frame analytics
request. When `force` is `true`, the action force-stops the
jobs and then proceeds to the deletion. This can be used in
order to delete a non-stopped job with a single request.

This adds a new `randomize_seed` for regression and classification.
When not explicitly set, the seed is randomly generated. One can
reuse the seed in a similar job in order to ensure the same docs
are picked for training.
This adds a `_source` setting under the `source` setting of a data
frame analytics config. The new `_source` is reusing the structure
of a `FetchSourceContext` like `analyzed_fields` does. Specifying
includes and excludes for source allows selecting which fields
will get reindexed and will be available in the destination index.

The categorization job wizard in the ML UI will use this
information when showing the effect of the chosen categorization
analyzer on a sample of input.
This commit replaces the _estimate_memory_usage API with
a new API, the _explain API.
The API consolidates information that is useful before
creating a data frame analytics job.
It includes:
- memory estimation
- field selection explanation
Memory estimation is moved here from what was previously
calculated in the _estimate_memory_usage API.
Field selection is a new feature that explains to the user
whether each available field was selected to be included or
not in the analysis. In the case it was not included, it also
explains the reason why.
Adds a new datafeed config option, max_empty_searches,
that tells a datafeed that has never found any data to stop
itself and close its associated job after a certain number
of real-time searches have returned no data.
This change adds:
- A new option, allow_lazy_open, to anomaly detection jobs
- A new option, allow_lazy_start, to data frame analytics jobs
Both work in the same way: they allow a job to be
opened/started even if no ML node exists that can
accommodate the job immediately. In this situation
the job waits in the opening/starting state until ML
node capacity is available. (The starting state for data
frame analytics jobs is new in this change.)
Additionally, the ML nightly maintenance tasks now
creates audit warnings for ML jobs that are unassigned.
This means that jobs that cannot be assigned to an ML
node for a very long time will show a yellow warning
triangle in the UI.
A final change is that it is now possible to close a job
that is not assigned to a node without using force.
This is because previously jobs that were open but
not assigned to a node were an aberration, whereas
after this change they'll be relatively common.
Adds the following parameters to `outlier_detection`:
- `compute_feature_influence` (boolean): whether to compute or not
feature influence scores
- `outlier_fraction` (double): the proportion of the data set assumed
to be outlying prior to running outlier detection
- `standardization_enabled` (boolean): whether to apply standardization
to the feature values

Though we allow CCS within datafeeds, users could prevent nodes from accessing remote clusters. This can cause mysterious errors and difficult to troubleshoot.
This commit adds a check to verify that `cluster.remote.connect` is enabled on the current node when a datafeed is configured with a remote index pattern.
Previously, the stats API reports a progress percentage
for DF analytics tasks that are running and are in the
`reindexing` or `analyzing` state.
This means that when the task is `stopped` there is no progress
reported. Thus, one cannot distinguish between a task that never
run to one that completed.
In addition, there are blind spots in the progress reporting.
In particular, we do not account for when data is loaded into the
process. We also do not account for when results are written.
This commit addresses the above issues. It changes progress
to being a list of objects, each one describing the phase
and its progress as a percentage. We currently have 4 phases:
reindexing, loading_data, analyzing, writing_results.
When the task stops, progress is persisted as a document in the
state index. The stats API now reports progress from in-memory
if the task is running, or returns the persisted document
(if there is one).
This PR addresses the feedback in https://github.com/elastic/ml-team/issues/175#issuecomment-512215731.
