Bucket aggregations compute bucket doc_count values by incrementing the doc_count by 1 for every document collected in the bucket.
When using summary fields (such as aggregate_metric_double) one field may represent more than one document. To provide this functionality we have implemented a new field mapper (named doc_count field mapper). This field is a positive integer representing the number of documents aggregated in a single summary field.
Bucket aggregations will check if a field of type doc_count exists in a document and will take this value into consideration when computing doc counts.
We don't need a special TypeFieldMapper for anything in particular; all access
to the type field can be done via a TypeFieldType that issues appropriate
deprecation warnings.
Relates to #41059
It seemed confusing for users that our top-level mapping page still had a
prominent section named 'Mapping Type'. This PR reworks the docs to remove this
reference and adds a note about types removal (similar to the note we added to
other APIs like put mapping).
This adds a new `_ignored` meta field which indexes and stores fields that have
been ignored at index time because of the `ignore_malformed` option. It makes
malformed documents easier to identify by using `exists` or `term(s)` queries
on the `_ignored` field.
Closes#29494
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.
* Remove the _all metadata field
This change removes the `_all` metadata field. This field is deprecated in 6
and cannot be activated for indices created in 6 so it can be safely removed in
the next major version (e.g. 7).
This change disables the _all meta field by default.
Now that we have the "all-fields" method of query execution, we can save both
indexing time and disk space by disabling it.
_all can no longer be configured for indices created after 6.0.

The `exists` and `missing` filters need to merge postings lists of all existing
terms, which can be very costly, especially on high-cardinality fields. This
commit indexes the field names of a document under `_field_names` and reuses it
to speed up the `exists` and `missing` filters.
This is only enabled for indices that are created on or after Elasticsearch
1.3.0.
