This enables date nanos support as tech preview. Basic operations, like reading values, binary comparisons, and functions that don't care about type should work, but some functions are not yet supported. Most notably, Bucket is not yet supported, although Date_Trunc is and can be used for grouping. See the docs for the full list of limitations.
relates to #109352
While working on #110008 I discovered that the Date Trunc tests were only running in folding mode, because the interval types are marked as not representable. The correct way to test this is to set the forceLiteral flag for those fields, which will (as the name suggests) force them to be literals even in non-folding tests.
Doing that turned up errors in the evaluatorToString tests, which I fixed. There are two big changes here. First, the second parameter to the evaluator is a Rounding instance, not the actual interval. Since Rounding includes some information about the specific rounding in the toString results, I am just using a starts with matcher to validate the majority of the string, rather than trying to reconstruct the expected rounding string. Second, passing in a literal null for the interval parameter folds the whole expression to null, and thus a completely different toString. I added a clause in AnyNullIsNull to account for this.
While I was in there, I moved some specific test cases to a different file. I know moving code is something we're trying to minimize right now, but this seemed worth it. The tests in question do not depend on the parameters of the test case, but all methods in the class get run for every set of parameters. This was causing these tests to be run many times with the same values, which bloats our test run time and test count. Moving them to a distinct class means they'll only be executed once per test run. I feel like this benefit outweighs the cost of git history complexity.
Now that the match and qstr functions are Tech Previewing, we should add them to the top-level functions doc page.

Always return `KEYWORD` for functions that previously returned `TEXT`, because any change to the value, no matter how small, is enough to render meaningless the original analyzer associated with the `TEXT` field value. In principle, if the attribute is no longer the original `FieldAttribute`, it can no longer claim to have the type `TEXT`.
This has been done for all functions: conversion functions, aggregating functions, multi-value functions. There were several that already produced `KEYWORD` for `TEXT` input (eg. ToString, FromBase64 and ToBase64, MvZip, ToLower, ToUpper, DateFormat, Concat, Left, Repeat, Replace, Right, Split, Substring), but many others that incorrectly claimed to produce `TEXT`, while this was really a false claim. This PR makes that now strict, and includes changes to the functions' units tests to disallow the tests to expect any functions output to be `TEXT`.
One side effect of this change is that methods that take multiple parameters that require all of them to have the same type, will now treat TEXT and KEYWORD the same. This was already the case for functions like `Concat`, but is now also the case for `Greatest`, `Least`, `Case`, `Coalesce` and `MvAppend`.
An associated change is that the type casting operator `::text` has been entirely removed. It used to map onto the `ToString` function which returned type KEYWORD, and so `::text` really produced a `KEYWORD`, which is a lie, or at least a `bug`, which is now fixed. Should we ever wish to actually produce real `TEXT`, we might love the fact that this operator has been freed up for future use (although it seems likely that function will require parameters to specify the analyzer, so might never be an operator again).
### Backwards compatibility issues:
This is a change that will fail BWC tests, since we have many tests that assert on TEXT output to functions. For this reason we needed to block two scenarios:
* We used the capability `functions_never_emit_text` to prevent 7 csv-spec tests and 2 yaml tests from being run against older versions that still emit text.
* We used `skipTest` to also block those two yaml tests from being run against the latest build, but using older yaml files downloaded (as far back as 8.14).
In all cases the change observed in these tests was simply the results columns no longer having `text` type, and instead being `keyword`.

`MV_SLICE` is useful, but loading values from lucene frequently sorts
them so `MV_SLICE` is not as useful as you think it is. It's mostly for
after, say, a `SPLIT`. This documents that and adds a link to the
section on multivalues.
It also moves similar docs to a separate paragraph in the docs for
easier reading.
While working on Date Nanos, I noticed that Least and Greatest didn't have support for datetime. This PR corrects that and adds tests for it.
It seems to me that resolveType() is doing the wrong thing for these functions, as it accepts types that then do not have evaluator mappings, but refactoring that seems out of scope right now.

Resolves#111842
This adds a conversion function that yields DATE_NANOS. Mostly this is straight forward.
It is worth noting that when converting a millisecond date into a nanosecond date, the conversion function truncates it to 0 nanoseconds (i.e. first nanosecond of that millisecond). This is, of course, a bit of an assumption, but I don't have a better assumption we can make. I'd thought about adding a second, optional, parameter to control this behavior, but it's important that TO_DATE_NANOS extend AbstractConvertFunction, which itself extends UnaryScalarFunction, so that it will work correctly with union types. Also, it's unlikely the user will have any better guess than we do for filling in the nanoseconds.
Making that assumption does, however, create some weirdness. Consider two comparisons:
TO_DATETIME("2023-03-23T12:15:03.360103847") == TO_DATETIME("2023-03-23T12:15:03.360") will return true while TO_DATE_NANOS("2023-03-23T12:15:03.360103847") == TO_DATE_NANOS("2023-03-23T12:15:03.360") will return false. This is akin to casting between longs and doubles, where things may compare equal in one type that are not equal in the other. This seems fine, and I can't think of a better way to do it, but it's worth being aware of.

This will correct/switch "year" unit diffing from the current integer
subtraction to a crono subtraction. Consequently, two dates are (at
least) one year apart now if (at least) a full calendar year separates
them. The previous implementation simply subtracted the year part of the
dates.
Note: this parts with ES SQL's implementation of the same function,
which itself is aligned with MS SQL's implementation, which works
equivalent to an integer subtraction.
Fixes#112482.
When CASE hits a multivalued field it was previously either crashing on
fold or evaluating it to the first value. Since booleans are loaded in
sorted order from lucene that *usually* means `false`. This changes the
behavior to line up with the rest of ESQL - now multivalued fields are
treated as `false` with a warning.
You might say "hey wait! multivalued fields usually become `null`, not
`false`!". Yes, dear reader, you are right. Very right. But! `CASE`'s
contract is to immediatly convert its values into `true` or `false`
using the standard boolean tri-valued logic. So `null` just become
`false` immediately. This is how PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite behave:
```
> SELECT CASE WHEN null THEN 1 ELSE 2 END;
2
```
They turn that `null` into a false. And we're right there with them.
Except, of course, that we're turning `[false, false]` and the like into
`null` first. See!? It's consitent. Consistently confusing, but sane at
least.
The warning message just says "treating multivalued field as false"
rather than explaining all of that.
This also fixes up a few of CASE's docs which I noticed were kind of
busted while working on CASE. I think the docs generation is having a
lot of trouble with CASE so I've manually hacked the right thing into
place, but we should figure out a better solution eventually.
Closes#112359
- Added mv_median_absolute_deviation function
- Added possibility of having a fixed param in Multivalue "ascending" functions
- Add surrogate to MedianAbsoluteDeviation
### Calculations used to avoid overflows
First, a quick recap of how the MAD is calculated:
1. Sort values, and get the median
2. Calculate the difference between each value with the median (`abs(median - value)`)
3. Sort the differences, and get their median
Calculating a MAD may overflow when calculating the differences (Step 2), given the type is a signed number, as the difference is a positive value, with potentially the same value as `POSITIVE_MAX - NEGATIVE_MIN`.
To solve this, some types are up-casted as follow:
- Int: Stored as longs, simple approach
- Long: Stored as longs, but switched to unsigned long representation when calculating the differences
- Unsigned long: No effect; the resulting range is the same
- Doubles: Nothing. If the values overflow to +/-infinity, they're left that way, as we'll just use those outliers to sort
Closes https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/111590
This changes the generated types tables in the docs to say `date`
instead of `datetime`. That's the name of the field in Elasticsearch so
it's a lot less confusing to call it that.
Closes#111650
- Added the `mv_percentile(values, percentile)` function
- Used as a surrogate in the `percentile(column, percentile)` aggregation
- Updated docs to specify that the surrogate _should_ be implemented if possible
The same way as mv_median does, this yields exact results (Ignoring double operations error).
For that, some decisions were made, specially in the long evaluator (Check the comments in context in `MvPercentile.java`)
Closes https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/111591
Support Version, Keyword and Text in Max an Min aggregations.
The current implementation of both max and min does:
For non-grouping:
- Store a BytesRef
- When there's a max/min, copy it to the internal array. Grow it if needed
For grouping:
- Keep an array of BytesRef (null by default: there's no "initial/default value" here, as there's no "MAX" value for a string)
- Each BytesRef stores their own array, which will be grown as needed to copy the new max/min
Some notes:
- It's not shrinking the arrays, as to avoid having to copy, and potentially grow it again
- It's using raw arrays. But maybe it should use BigArrays to compute in the circuit breaker?
Part of https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/110346
This laxes the check on numerical spans to allow them be specified as whole numbers. So far it was required that they be provided as a double.
This also expands the tests for date ranges to include string types.

This profiles additional timing information for each individual driver.
To the results from `profile` it adds the start and stop time for each
driver. That was already in the task status. To the profile and task
status it also adds the number of times the driver slept and some more
detailed history about a few of those times.
Explanation time! The compute engine splits work into some number of
`Drivers` per node. Each `Driver` is a single threaded entity - it runs
on a thread for a while then does one of three things: 1. Finishes 2.
Goes async because one of it's `Operator`s has gone async 3. Yields the
thread pool because it has run for too long
This PR measures the second two. At this point only three operators can
go async: * ENRICH * Reading from an empty exchange * Writing to a full
exchange
We're quite interested the these sleeps at the moment because they think
they may be slowing things down. Here's what it looks like when a driver
goes async because it wants to read from an empty exchange:
```
... the rest of the profile ...
"sleeps" : {
"counts" : {
"exchange empty" : 2
},
"first" : [
{
"reason" : "exchange empty",
"sleep" : "2024-08-13T19:45:57.943Z",
"sleep_millis" : 1723578357943,
"wake" : "2024-08-13T19:45:58.159Z",
"wake_millis" : 1723578358159
},
{
"reason" : "exchange empty",
"sleep" : "2024-08-13T19:45:58.164Z",
"sleep_millis" : 1723578358164,
"wake" : "2024-08-13T19:45:58.165Z",
"wake_millis" : 1723578358165
}
],
"last": [same as above]
```
Every time the driver goes async we count it in the `counts` map -
grouped by the reason the driver slept. We also record the sleep and
wake times for the first and last ten times the driver sleeps. In this
case it only slept twice, so the `first` and `last` ten times is the
same array.
This should give us a good sense about why drivers sleep while using a
limited amount of memory per driver.
This removes date_nanos from the docs generated for all of our functions
because it's still under construction. I've done so as a sort of one-off
hack. My plan is to replace this in a follow up change with a
centralized registry of "under construction" data types. So we can make
new data types under a feature flag more easilly in the future. We're
going to be doing that a fair bit.
Resolves#109987
Add initial support for the date nanos data type. At this point, almost no functions are supported, including casting. This just covers loading and returning the values. Like millisecond dates, nanosecond dates are internally modeled as long values, so we don't need a new block type to support them.
This has very patchwork function support. Ideally, I don't think I would have added any function support yet, but the five MV functions you see here declare that they accept any non-spatial type, and will error tests if not wired up for new types. There are other functions, like Values, which also claim to support all non-spatial types, but don't currently enforce that in testing, so I didn't add them yet. Finally, there are functions like == which should work for all types, but are implemented as a specific list. I've left those for a follow up ticket as well.
This finishes the migration of `null` testing from a test method, namely
`testSimpleWithNulls`. It migrates it to `anyNullIsNull` and hand rolled
null cases.
