The build_flavor was previously removed since it is no longer relevant;
only the default distribution now exists. However, the removal of build
flavor included removing it from the version information on the info
response for the root path. This API is supposed to be stable, so
removing that key was a compatibility break. This commit adds the
build_flavor back to that API, hardcoded to `default`. Additionally, a
test is added to ensure the key exists going forward, until it can be
properly deprecated.

Ensures that on every page of the docs that mentions
`cluster.initial_master_nodes` also mentions that this setting must be
removed after bootstrapping completes.
The default distribution is the only remaining build flavor, and has been for
quite a while now. This commit removes flavor from the internal Build
class. It keeps rest api compat for nodes info for now by hardcoding
`default`.
Since 8.0.0, we only support Java 17 and up. This change cleans up unsupported Java versions from jvm.options and updates documentation to reference supported Java versions, in case it is confusing to users.
In #84340 we adjusted the docs to show instructions on how to
retrieve TLS keystores passwords from the elasticsearch keystore
but the security-files-reference.asciidoc was not referenced in
all places where the instructions should be used. This commit
changes that and also removes references for beta versions.
The way this specific doc was structured meant that the path for
DEB/RPM packages were wrong (an extra `config` was added to the
dir path). This commit changes the structure to be relevant to the
ES_CONF_PATH env variable that should work uniformly for all of
our installation means.
Fixes an intro sentence for the Docker install instructions.

(cherry picked from commit 472a7d8e91)
Co-authored-by: Alexander Reelsen <alexander@reelsen.net>
The use of `apt-key` is deprecated and will no longer be available after
Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04. This updates the installation instructions
for Debian-based distributions.
Closes#84644
In 8.0.0. we introduce TLS autoconfiguration. We store the key and
certificate materials in password protected PKCS#12 keystores and
we store these passwords in the elasticsearch keystore.
This commit adds instructions on how to get hold of the passwords
for users to inspect or alter the PKCS#12 keystores.
In #80617 we upgraded to a version of JNA which would report the message
`Failed to allocate closure` if the temp dir for `libffi` did not permit
executables (rather than crashing with a segfault). This commit extends
the docs to mention this message.
* Clarify commands shown for "permanently" setting max_map_count
The current text shows a grep, which of course does not set the value at all. I've clarified why it's offered (to CHECK the value).
I've also moved the command for setting the value temporarily to above that discussion, to make it more clear to readers that that's what it does.

Closes#69533.
The Docker docs mention bind-mounting the `config`, `data` and
`logs` directories when using an arbitrary UID / GID, but they fail
to mention that the `plugins` dir must also be mounted in order to
install plugins.
* Rolling restart instructions
In a rolling restart scenario, indexing do not need to be stopped. This step is optional. I have updated Rolling restart/ step 2.
Note: I am not sure how to check if the doc, once generated, will keep the numbering as section 1 and 3 are references to the full restart, can you check this detail?

* [DOCS] Remove extraneous Elasticsearch Docker image information
In the step for starting Elasticsearch with the generated enrollment token, `docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:` was included in conjunction with the `{docker-image}` variable. This include led to a duplicate Docker image that displayed as `ocker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.0.0-rc1`. This PR removes the duplicate image information.
* Update ifeval statements and add sub-heading for setting JVM heap size
Closes#81652.
Convert the `repository-azure`, `repository-gcs` and `repository-s3`
plugins into modules, so that they are always included in the
Elasticsearch distribution. Also change plugin installation, removal
and syncing so that attempting to add or remove these plugins still
succeeds but is now a no-op.
We (mostly I) were initially advocating for the auto-generated files to
use unique names (the name containing a timestamp particle), in order to
avoid that subsequent invocations of the config step conflict with
itself. Moreover, I was wishing that these files will not have to be
handled directly by admins (that the enrollment process was to be used).
However, experience proved us otherwise, admins have to manipulate these
files, and unique configuration names are hard to deal with in scripts
and docs, so this PR is all about using a fixed name for all the
generated files. _Labeling as a bug fix because the feedback is that it
very negatively impacts usabilty._ Closes

After 7.16.2, we'll no longer produce Windows MSI installer packages for Elasticsearch. These packages were previously released in beta and didn't receive widespread adoption.
### Changes:
* Adds a related 7.17 breaking change.
* Adds a related 7.16 deprecation.
* Removes the MSI installation instructions.
* Removes references to the MSI installer.
I plan to port the applicable changes to 8.1 (main), 8.0, 7.17, and 7.16. In the 7.16 ports, I'll leave in the MSI install docs and add related deprecation notes to them instead.
Removes a section covering configuration management tools from the
installation instructions.
After 7.16.2, Elastic will no longer maintain these tools. Previously,
the tools were only supported on a "best effort" basis.
