Documentation incorrectly states that all aggregations are supported by
the `aggregate_metric_double` field.
This PR rectifies this error.
Closes#92236
Docs around the `index` option were not very precise. The term "typical" was used without describing for which fields querying is still available when `index: false` is set. But more precise docs existed in the `doc_values` documentation found here for the index option: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/doc-values.html This docs were mostly copied over.

Currently Elasticsearch always returns a shard failure once a runtime error arises from using a runtime field, the exception being script-less runtime fields. This also means that execution of the query for that shard stops, which is okay for development and exploration. In a production scenario, however, it is often desirable to ignore runtime errors and continue with the query execution.
This change adds a new a new on_script_error parameter to runtime field definitions similar to the already existing
parameter for index-time scripted fields. When `on_script_error` is set to `continue`, errors from script execution are effectively ignored. This means affected documents don't show up in query results, but also don't prevent other matches from the same shard. Runtime fields accessed through the fields API don't return values on errors, aggregations will ignore documents that throw errors.
Note that this change affects scripted runtime fields only, while leaving default behaviour untouched. Also, ignored errors are not reported back to users for now.

Synthetic _source's array flattening activities can remove some arrays
entirely. Specifically:
```
{
"foo": [
{
"bar": 1
},
{
"baz": 2
}
]
}
```
Turns into:
```
{
"foo": {
"bar": 1,
"baz": 2
}
}
```
See, no more array! It's because the values are flattend to the leaf
fields and didn't have multiple values. This is implied by the docs we
had, but sure wasn't obvious. So now it's documented specifically.
This change adds support fielddata and subsequently scripting for byte vectors. This is a follow up to
#90774 and completes the initial work for #89784.
Before it linked to script_score and approximate kNN separately, but now we have
a single page that describes both approaches. This change also removes a link to
the deprecated _knn_search API.
* Refine geo-point and geo-shape docs
While reviewing the docs for another issue, some deprecated
references to prefix-trees were discovered, leading to interest
in bringing the docs a little more up-to-date.

This change adds an element_type as an optional mapping parameter for dense vector fields as
described in #89784. This also adds a byte element_type for dense vector fields that supports storing
dense vectors using only 8-bits per dimension. This is only supported when the mapping parameter
index is set to true.
The code follows a similar pattern to our NumberFieldMapper where we have an enum for
ElementType, and it has methods that DenseVectorFieldType and DenseVectorMapper can delegate to
to support each available type (just float and byte for now).
I got some new this morning that we're going to have to rework how we
handle ignore-above in synthetic _source which makes me a bit weary of
removing tech-preview in 8.5. I asked a few folks and they felt more
comfortable giving it a little longer in tech preview. I expect until
ignore-above is in.
This adds synthetic `_source` support for `ip` fields with
`ignore_malfored` set to `true`. We save the field values in hidden
stored field, just like we do for `ignore_above` keyword fields. Then we
load them at load time.
I've been hacking on synthetic source for a while now and not seen any
need to break backwards compatibility or any major bugs. I think it's
time to remove the `preview` marker from it so folks can use it without
fear.
It seems that for now we don't have a good use for the histogram and summary metric types.
They had been left as place holders for a while, but at this point there is no concrete plan forward for them.
This PR removes the histogram and summary metric types. We may add them back in the future.
Also, this PR completely removes the time_series_metric mapping parameter from the histogram field type and only allows the gauge metric type for aggregate_metric_double fields.
This adds support for synthetic _source to the `version` field type. It
works very similarly to `keyword` but with an extra decode step.
I modified the decoder to return a `BytesRef` instead of a `String`
because many of the callers seemed to be converting that string directly
into bytes again. Synthetic source would have wanted to do that. As was
the query infrastructure.
Now that we're releasing synthetic _source as a tech preview feature, we
no longer want to remove the docs from the non-release builds. And we
want to mark all of the headings describing synthetic `_source` as a
preview.
The docs for synthetic `_source` incorrectly claimed that synthetic
`_source` deduplicates numbers. It doesn't. The example below the prose
shows it *not* removing duplicates.
We have a check that enforces the total number of fields needs to be below a
certain (configurable) threshold. Before runtime fields did not contribute
to the count. This patch makes all runtime fields contribute to the
count, runtime fields:
- that were explicitly defined in mapping by a user
- as well as runtime fields that were dynamically created by dynamic
mappings
Closes#88265
* [DOCS] Warn only one date format is added to the field date formats
When using multiple options in `dynamic_date_formats`, only one of the formats of the first document having a date matching one of the date formats provided will be used.
E.g.
```
PUT my-index-000001
{
"mappings": {
"dynamic_date_formats": [ "yyyy/MM", "MM/dd/yyyy"]
}
}
PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1
{
"create_date": "09/25/2015"
}
```
The generated mappings will be:
```
"mappings": {
"dynamic_date_formats": [
"yyyy/MM",
"MM/dd/yyyy"
],
"properties": {
"create_date": {
"type": "date",
"format": "MM/dd/yyyy"
}
}
},
```
Indexing a document with `2015/12` would lead to the `format` `"yyyy/MM"` being used for the `create_date`.
This can be misleading especially if the user is using multiple date formats on the same field.
The first document will determine the format of the `date` field being detected.
Maybe we should provide an additional example, such as:
```
PUT my-index-000001
{
"mappings": {
"dynamic_date_formats": [ "yyyy/MM||MM/dd/yyyy"]
}
}
```
My wording is not great, so feel free to amend/edit.

This PR adds a new `knn` option to the `_search` API to support ANN search.
It's powered by the same Lucene ANN capabilities as the old `_knn_search`
endpoint. The `knn` option can be combined with other search features like
queries and aggregations.
Addresses #87625
Currently we have two parameters that control how the source of a document
is stored, `enabled` and `synthetic`, both booleans. However, there are only
three possible combinations of these, with `enabled:false` and `synthetic:true`
being disallowed. To make this easier to reason about, this commit replaces
the `enabled` parameter with a new `mode` parameter, which can take the values
`stored`, `synthetic` and `disabled`. The `mode` parameter cannot be set
in combination with `enabled`, and we will subsequently move towards
deprecating `enabled` entirely.

This adds an example of the precision loss for `double`, `float`, and
`half_float` numbers that we can link folks to when explaining what
happened to their numbers. You can link directly to it with something
like:
```
/guide/number.html#floating_point
```
* Soft-deprecation of point/geo_point formats
Since GeoJSON and WKT are now common formats for all three types:
geo_shape, geo_point and point
We decided to soft-deprecate the other point formats by ordering:
* GeoJSON (object with keys `type` and `coordinates`)
* WKT `POINT(x y)`
* Object with keys `lat` and `lon` (or `x` and `y` for point)
* Array [lon,lat]
* String `"lat,lon"` (or `"x,y"` in point)
* String with geohash (only in `geo_point`)
The geohash is last because it is only in one field type.
The string version is second last because it is the most controversial
being the only version to reverse the coordinate order from all other
formats (for geo_point only, since the coordinates are not reversed
in point).
In addition we replaced many examples in both documentation and tests
to prioritize WKT over the plain string format.
Many remaining examples of array format or object with keys still exist
and could be replaced by, for example, GeoJSON, if we feel the need.
* Incorrect quote position
This PR adds support for a new mapping parameter to the configuration of the object mapper (root as well as individual fields), that makes it possible to store metrics data where it's common to have fields with dots in their names in the following format:
```
{
"metrics.time" : 10,
"metrics.time.min" : 1,
"metrics.time.max" : 500
}
```
Instead of expanding dotted paths the their corresponding object structure, objects can be configured to preserve dots in field names, in which case they can only hold leaf sub-fields and no further objects.
The mapping parameter is called subobjects and controls whether an object can hold other objects (defaults to true) or not. The following example shows how it can be configured in the mappings:
```
{
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {
"metrics" : {
"type" : "object",
"subobjects" : false
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#63530
There has been some confusion over the definition of a field type family. This
PR clarifies the definition in the docs: the two types should have the exact
same search behavior (including supporting the same queries/ aggs, and producing
the same response). It's not sufficient for them to just support the samme
search operations.
This change also fixes an inaccurate statement that there is only one field type
family so far.
This PR introduces the lookup runtime fields which are used to retrieve
data from the related indices. The below search request enriches its

Clarifies that the `orientation` mapping parameter only applies to WKT polygons. GeoJSON polygons use a default orientation of `RIGHT`, regardless of the mapping parameter.
Also notes that the document-level `orientation` parameter overrides the default orientation for both WKT and GeoJSON polygons.

Also adds distance feature query support for date fields (bringing date field to feature parity with runtime fields)
This enables searches on archive data, which has access to doc values but not index structures. When combined with
searchable snapshots, it allows downloading only data for a given (doc value) field to quickly filter down to a select set
of documents.

Note to reviewers:
I have split isSearchable into two separate methods isIndexed and isSearchable on MappedFieldType. The former one is
about whether actual indexing data structures have been used (postings or points), and the latter one on whether you
can run queries on the given field (e.g. used by field caps). For number field types, queries are now allowed whenever
points are available or when doc values are available (i.e. searchability is expanded).

Cosine similarity is not defined when one of the vectors has zero magnitude.
Before, the kNN search endpoint threw a confusing exception related to top docs
collection. Now we reject vectors early with a clear error message, failing
indexing if the vector has zero magnitude.
This commit adds docs for the new `_knn_search` endpoint.
It focuses on being an API reference and is light on details in terms of how
exactly the kNN search works, and how the endpoint contrasts with
`script_score` queries. We plan to add a high-level guide on kNN search that
will explain this in depth.
Relates to #78473.
Currently, we don't support kNN search against fields in a `nested` mapping.
Before, we were checking this at search-time. This commit moves it earlier, so
you aren't even allowed to set `index: true` if the vector is in a nested
mapping. That way, users are aware of the limitation before they start to index
documents.

In the upcoming Lucene 9 release, `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` is
going to apply to the entire query tree rather than per `bool` query. In order
to avoid breaks, the limit has been bumped from 1024 to 4096.
The semantics will effectively change when we upgrade to Lucene 9, this PR
is only about agreeing on a migration strategy and documenting this change.
To avoid further breaks, I am leaning towards keeping the current setting name
even though it contains `bool`. I believe that it still makes sense given that
`bool` queries are typically the main contributors to high numbers of clauses.

This adds support for the range aggregation over `histogram` mapped fields.
Decisions made for implementation:
- Sub-aggregations are not allowed. This is to simplify implementation and follows the prior art set by the `histogram` aggregation
- Nothing fancy is done with the ranges. No filter translations as we cannot easily do a `range` filter query against histogram fields. This may be an optimization in the future.
- Ranges check the histogram value ONLY. No interpolation of values is done. If we have better statistics around the histogram this MAY be possible.
Added the dimension parameter to the following field types:
keyword
ip
Numeric field types (integer, long, byte, short)
The dimension parameter is of type boolean (default: false) and is used
to mark that a field is a time series dimension field.

When we introduced dynamic:runtime (#65489) we decided to have it create objects dynamically under properties, as the runtime section did not (and still does not) support object fields. That proved to be a poor choice, because the runtime section is flat, supports dots in field names, and does not really need objects. Also, these end up causing unnecessary mapping conflicts.
With this commit we adapt dynamic:runtime to not dynamically create objects.

We currently don't support `copy_to` for fields that take the form of objects
(e.g. `date_range` or certain kinds of `geo_point` variants). The current
problem with objects is that when DocumentParser parses anything other than
single values, it potentially advances the underlying parser past the value that
we would need to stay on for parsing the value again. While we might want to
support this in the future, for now this PR enhances the otherwise confusing
MapperParsingException with something more helpful and adds a short note in the
documentation about this restriction.
Closes#49344
With the introduction of BKD-based geo shape indexing in #32039, the prefix tree indexing method has
been deprecated. From 8.0.0, it will not be allowed to create new mappings using deprecated parameters.
This adds a new `match_only_text` field, which indexes the same data as a `text`
field that has `index_options: docs` and `norms: false` and uses the `_source`
for positional queries like `match_phrase`. Unlike `text`, this field doesn't
support scoring.
This commit adds the ability to define an index-time geo_point field
with a script parameter, allowing you to calculate points from other
values within the indexed document.
As we started thinking about applying on_script_error to runtime fields, to handle script errors at search time, we would like to use the same parameter that was recently introduced for indexed fields. We decided that continue or fail gives a better indication of the behaviour compared to the current ignore or reject which is too specific to indexing documents.
This commit applies such rename.

This commit allows you to set 'script' and 'on_script_error' parameters
on date field mappers, meaning that runtime date fields can be made indexed
simply by moving their definitions from the runtime section of the mappings
to the properties section.
We accept dates with a decimal point like `2113413.13241324` and parse
them *somehow*. But there are cases where we'll lose precision on those
dates, see #70085. This advises folks not to use that format. We'll
continue to accept those dates for backwards compatibility but you
should avoid using them.

Runtime fields are much more flexible than script_fields because you
can filter and aggregate on them so we hope folks use them! This
converts the example of using a `parent_join` field in a script to a
runtime field so folks get used to seeing them and hopefully using them.
While I was editing this I took the opportunity to replace the script
with a real-ish example. Scripts that just load the field value are nice
and short but I hope no one uses them in real life because they just add
overhead when compared to accessing the field directly. So I made the
script do something.
