We incorrectly list `wait_for` as a valid `refresh` argument for the
following APIs:
* Delete by query
* Multi get
* Reindex
This fixes that error. It also updates the get API docs for consistency.
Closes#65031
In update by query requests where max_docs < size and conflicts=proceed
we weren't using the remaining documents from the scroll response in
cases where there were conflicts and in the first bulk request the
successful updates < max_docs. This commit address that problem and
use the remaining documents from the scroll response instead of
requesting a new page.
Closes#63671
This PR adds deprecation warnings when accessing System Indices via the REST layer. At this time, these warnings are only enabled for Snapshot builds by default, to allow projects external to Elasticsearch additional time to adjust their access patterns.
Deprecation warnings will be triggered by all REST requests which access registered System Indices, except for purpose-specific APIs which access System Indices as an implementation detail a few specific APIs which will continue to allow access to system indices by default:
- `GET _cluster/health`
- `GET {index}/_recovery`
- `GET _cluster/allocation/explain`
- `GET _cluster/state`
- `POST _cluster/reroute`
- `GET {index}/_stats`
- `GET {index}/_segments`
- `GET {index}/_shard_stores`
- `GET _cat/[indices,aliases,health,recovery,shards,segments]`
Deprecation warnings for accessing system indices take the form:
```
this request accesses system indices: [.some_system_index], but in a future major version, direct access to system indices will be prevented by default
```
* Reformats delete by query API
* Update docs/reference/docs/delete-by-query.asciidoc
Co-Authored-By: James Rodewig <james.rodewig@elastic.co>
* Updated common parms includes.
Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.
Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.
Previously, a reindex request had two different size specifications in the body:
* Outer level, determining the maximum documents to process
* Inside the source element, determining the scroll/batch size.
The outer level size has now been renamed to max_docs to
avoid confusion and clarify its semantics, with backwards compatibility and
deprecation warnings for using size.
Similarly, the size parameter has been renamed to max_docs for
update/delete-by-query to keep the 3 interfaces consistent.
Finally, all 3 endpoints now support max_docs in both body and URL.

This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).
Relates #33028
We had been using `task_id:1` or `taskId:1` because it is parses as a
valid task identifier but the `:1` part is confusing. This replaces
those examples with `task_id` which matches the response from the list
tasks API.
Closes#28314
We already had *some* documentation of the batch nature of `reindex` and
friends but it wasn't super obvious how it interacted with the
`failures` element in the response. This adds some more documentation
the `failures` element.
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.
Closes#27750Closes#27751
Removing several occurrences of this typo in the docs and javadocs, seems to be
a common mistake. Corrections turn up once in a while in PRs, better to correct
some of this in one sweep.
In #26185 we made the description of `requests_per_second` sane
for reindex. This improves on the description by using some more
common vocabulary ("batch size", etc) and improving the formatting
of the example calculation so it stands out and doesn't require
scrolling.
In reindex APIs, when using the `slices` parameter to choose the number of slices, adds the option to specify `slices` as "auto" which will choose a reasonable number of slices. It uses the number of shards in the source index, up to a ceiling. If there is more than one source index, it uses the smallest number of shards among them.
This gives users an easy way to use slicing in these APIs without having to make decisions about how to configure it, as it provides a good-enough configuration for them out of the box. This may become the default behavior for these APIs in the future.
The reindex API is mature now, and we will work to maintain backwards
compatibility in accordance with our backwards compatibility
policy. This commit unmarks the reindex API as experimental.
Relates #23621
Adds support for `?slices=N` to reindex which automatically
parallelizes the process using parallel scrolls on `_uid`. Performance
testing sees a 3x performance improvement for simple docs
on decent hardware, maybe 30% performance improvement
for more complex docs. Still compelling, especially because
clusters should be able to get closer to the 3x than the 30%
number.
Closes#20624
