The current consensus is that we don't need info actions for smaller items like
field mappers. We can also remove the usage action since the cluster stats API
now tracks information about mappings, like what field types are defined.
I discussed with @rjernst about what kind of functionality should be
reported in the info API, since it doesn't sound sensible to list every
single feature there. As a guideline, Ryan suggested that functionality
that needs to maintain state should definitely be in the info API, but
probably not field mappers like `constant_keyword`.
This field is a specialization of the `keyword` field for the case when all
documents have the same value. It typically performs more efficiently than
keywords at query time by figuring out whether all or none of the documents
match at rewrite time, like `term` queries on `_index`.
The name is up for discussion. I liked including `keyword` in it, so that we
still have room for a `singleton_numeric` in the future. However I'm unsure
whether to call it `singleton`, `constant` or something else, any opinions?
For this field there is a choice between
1. accepting values in `_source` when they are equal to the value configured
in mappings, but rejecting mapping updates
2. rejecting values in `_source` but then allowing updates to the value that
is configured in the mapping
This commit implements option 1, so that it is possible to reindex from/to an
index that has the field mapped as a keyword with no changes to the source.
* Add SLM support to xpack usage and info APIs
This adds the missing xpack usage and info information into the
`/_xpack` and `/_xpack/usage` APIs. The output now looks like:
```
GET /_xpack/usage
{
...
"slm" : {
"available" : true,
"enabled" : true,
"policy_count" : 1,
"policy_stats" : {
"retention_runs" : 0,
...
}
}
```
and
```
GET /_xpack
{
...
"features" : {
...
"slm" : {
"available" : true,
"enabled" : true
},
...
}
}
```
Relates to #43663
* Fix test expectation
* Fix docs test
This adds a pipeline aggregation that calculates the cumulative
cardinality of a field. It does this by iteratively merging in the
HLL sketch from consecutive buckets and emitting the cardinality up
to that point.
This is useful for things like finding the total "new" users that have
visited a website (as opposed to "repeat" visitors).
This is a Basic+ aggregation and adds a new Data Science plugin
to house it and future advanced analytics/data science aggregations.
This commit merges the `object-fields` feature branch. The new 'flattened
object' field type allows an entire JSON object to be indexed into a field, and
provides limited search functionality over the field's contents.
A voting-only master-eligible node is a node that can participate in master elections but will not act
as a master in the cluster. In particular, a voting-only node can help elect another master-eligible
node as master, and can serve as a tiebreaker in elections. High availability (HA) clusters require at
least three master-eligible nodes, so that if one of the three nodes is down, then the remaining two
can still elect a master amongst them-selves. This only requires one of the two remaining nodes to
have the capability to act as master, but both need to have voting powers. This means that one of
the three master-eligible nodes can be made as voting-only. If this voting-only node is a dedicated
master, a less powerful machine or a smaller heap-size can be chosen for this node. Alternatively, a
voting-only non-dedicated master node can play the role of the third master-eligible node, which
allows running an HA cluster with only two dedicated master nodes.

The native code info is a portion of the xpack info api that emits
arbitrary info about feature plugins that are backed by native code.
This is currently only used by machine learning. Additionally, it is the
only non enabled/available information reported by the info api.
This commit moves the native code info reporting to the usage api for
machine learning. The commit info reported is only used for debugging
purposes, and not captured by the current uses of the info api
(monitoring and telemetry) since it requires passing the verbose flag.
Long term, this information would be better suited to node info. Until
node info is extendable by plugins, this new location will allow
cleaning up the xpack info api to be implemented in a generic way for
all xpack features.
The description field of xpack featuresets is optionally part of the
xpack info api, when using the verbose flag. However, this information
is unnecessary, as it is better left for documentation (and the existing
descriptions describe anything meaningful). This commit removes the
description field from feature sets.
The data frame plugin allows users to create feature indexes by pivoting a source index. In a
nutshell this can be understood as reindex supporting aggregations or similar to the so called entity
centric indexing.
Full history is provided in: feature/data-frame-transforms
This commit switches to using a trial license in the docs tests that run
on the default distribution. This is needed so that docs tests can be
executed against non-basic features.
This brings the name in line with everywhere else and means that name
seen on the feature usage and `GET _xpack` APIs will match the plugin
name.
This change also removes `IndexLifcycle.NAME` since this was only used
to name the scheduler job and that can be done using
`XPackField.INDEX_LIFECYCLE` instead
