This aims at making the shrink action retryable. Every step is
retryable, but in order to provide an experience where ILM tries
to achieve a successful shrink even when the target node goes
missing permanently or the shrunk index cannot recover, this also
introduces a retryable shrink cycle within the shrink action.
The shrink action will generate a unique index name that'll be the
shrunk index name. The generated index name is stored in the lifecycle
state.
If the shrink action ends up waiting for the source shards to
colocate or for the shrunk index to recover for more than the configured
`LIFECYCLE_STEP_WAIT_TIME_THRESHOLD` setting, it will move back
to clean up the attempted (and failed) shrunk index and will retry
generating a new index name and attempting to shrink the source
to the newly generated index name.

* Update documentation for no-op setting
* Remove NO_ILM ml index templates
* Remove unneeded setting from test setup
* Inline variable definitions for ML templates
* Use identical parameter names in templates
* New ILM/watcher setting falls back to old setting
* Add fallback unit test for watcher/ilm setting
We believe there's no longer a need to be able to disable basic-license
features completely using the "xpack.*.enabled" settings. If users don't
want to use those features, they simply don't need to use them. Having
such features always available lets us build more complex features that
assume basic-license features are present.
This commit deprecates settings of the form "xpack.*.enabled" for
basic-license features, excluding "security", which is a special case.
It also removes deprecated settings from integration tests and unit
tests where they're not directly relevant; e.g. monitoring and ILM are
no longer disabled in many integration tests.
* Rename ILM history index enablement setting
The previous setting was `index.lifecycle.history_index_enabled`, this commit changes it to
`indices.lifecycle.history_index_enabled` to indicate this is not an index-level setting (it's node
level).
* Add ILM histore store index
This commit adds an ILM history store that tracks the lifecycle
execution state as an index progresses through its ILM policy. ILM
history documents store output similar to what the ILM explain API
returns.
An example document with ALL fields (not all documents will have all
fields) would look like:
```json
{
"@timestamp": 1203012389,
"policy": "my-ilm-policy",
"index": "index-2019.1.1-000023",
"index_age":123120,
"success": true,
"state": {
"phase": "warm",
"action": "allocate",
"step": "ERROR",
"failed_step": "update-settings",
"is_auto-retryable_error": true,
"creation_date": 12389012039,
"phase_time": 12908389120,
"action_time": 1283901209,
"step_time": 123904107140,
"phase_definition": "{\"policy\":\"ilm-history-ilm-policy\",\"phase_definition\":{\"min_age\":\"0ms\",\"actions\":{\"rollover\":{\"max_size\":\"50gb\",\"max_age\":\"30d\"}}},\"version\":1,\"modified_date_in_millis\":1576517253463}",
"step_info": "{... etc step info here as json ...}"
},
"error_details": "java.lang.RuntimeException: etc\n\tcaused by:etc etc etc full stacktrace"
}
```
These documents go into the `ilm-history-1-00000N` index to provide an
audit trail of the operations ILM has performed.
This history storage is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting
`index.lifecycle.history_index_enabled` to `false.`
Resolves#49180
* ILM: parse origination date from index name
Introduce the `index.lifecycle.parse_origination_date` setting that
indicates if the origination date should be parsed from the index name.
If set to true an index which doesn't match the expected format (namely
`indexName-{dateFormat}-optional_digits` will fail before being created.
The origination date will be parsed when initialising a lifecycle for an
index and it will be set as the `index.lifecycle.origination_date` for
that index.
A user set value for `index.lifecycle.origination_date` will always
override a possible parsable date from the index name.
* [ILM] Add date setting to calculate index age
Add the `index.lifecycle.origination_date` to allow users to configure a
custom date that'll be used to calculate the index age for the phase
transmissions (as opposed to the default index creation date).
This could be useful for users to create an index with an "older"
origination date when indexing old data.
Relates to #42449.
* [ILM] Don't override creation date on policy init
The initial approach we took was to override the lifecycle creation date
if the `index.lifecycle.origination_date` setting was set. This had the
disadvantage of the user not being able to update the `origination_date`
anymore once set.
This commit changes the way we makes use of the
`index.lifecycle.origination_date` setting by checking its value when
we calculate the index age (ie. at "read time") and, in case it's not
set, default to the index creation date.
* Make origination date setting index scope dynamic
* Document orignation date setting in ilm settings
* [DOCS] Added settings page for ILM.
* [DOCS] Adding ILM settings file
* [DOCS] Moved the ILM settings to a separate section
* [DOCS] Linked to the rollover docs.
* [DOCS] Tweaked the "required" wording.
