Removed the autoscaling feature flags, autoscaling is now on by default
(though it requires an external system to handle the autoscaling
events). Added experimental notice to all autoscaling related
documentation pages.

Transform writes dates as epoch millis, this does not work for historic data in some cases or is
unsupported. Dates should be written as such. With this PR transform starts writing dates in ISO
format, but as existing transform might rely on the format it provides backwards compatibility for
old jobs as well as a setting to write dates as epoch millis.

This is a follow-up PR for #65256 to fix the xpack info and usage reports for
operator privilegs. In summary, this PR ensures:
* _xpack does not report operator privileges because it is categorised under
security
* _xpack/usage reports operator privileges status under the security
section
* _license/feature_usage reports last used time of operator privileges.
It is up to the downstream to filter out this report if necessary.
In some Elastic Stack environments, there is a distinction between the operator
of the cluster infrastructure and the administrator of the cluster. This
distinction cannot be supported currently because the "administrator" often has
the superuser role which grants each and every privilege of the cluster.
This PR adds a new feature to protect a fixed set of APIs from the
"administrator" even when it is a highly privileged user such as superuser. It
enhances the Elasticsearch security model to have an additional layer of
restriction in addition to the RBAC.

In the process of developing a new implementation for the Elasticsearch Rollups functionality we came up with the concept of the aggregate metric field type.
The aggregate_metric_double field type can store the results of aggregations (currently min, max, sum, value_count and avg are supported - more to come).
This field allows us to run (min, max, sum, value_count, avg) aggregations on the container field and the field will return the correct metric depending on the aggregation that is computed.
add support for the missing (bucket) aggregation (counts docs with a configured missing field value)
in transform. The output is mapped to name:count, the mapping type is long.
The current _update_by_query documentation mentions a scroll_size default of 100 and later another default of 1000.
We use the default of 1000 defined in AbstractBulkByScrollRequest and this PR changes the documentation accordingly.
Closes#63637
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
```
This commit adds telemetry for our data tier formalization. This telemetry helps determine the
topology of the cluster with regard to the content, hot, warm, & cold tiers/roles.
An example of the telemetry looks like:
```
GET /_xpack/usage?human
{
...
"data_tiers" : {
"available" : true,
"enabled" : true,
"data_warm" : {
...
},
"data_cold" : {
...
},
"data_content" : {
"node_count" : 1,
"index_count" : 6,
"total_shard_count" : 6,
"primary_shard_count" : 6,
"doc_count" : 71,
"total_size" : "59.6kb",
"total_size_bytes" : 61110,
"primary_size" : "59.6kb",
"primary_size_bytes" : 61110,
"primary_shard_size_avg" : "9.9kb",
"primary_shard_size_avg_bytes" : 10185,
"primary_shard_size_median" : "8kb",
"primary_shard_size_median_bytes" : 8254,
"primary_shard_size_mad" : "7.2kb",
"primary_shard_size_mad_bytes" : 7391
},
"data_hot" : {
...
}
}
}
```
The fields are as follows:
- node_count :: number of nodes with this tier/role
- index_count :: number of indices on this tier
- total_shard_count :: total number of shards for all nodes in this tier
- primary_shard_count :: number of primary shards for all nodes in this tier
- doc_count :: number of documents for all nodes in this tier
- total_size_bytes :: total number of bytes for all shards for all nodes in this tier
- primary_size_bytes :: number of bytes for all primary shards on all nodes in this tier
- primary_shard_size_avg_bytes :: average shard size for primary shard in this tier
- primary_shard_size_median_bytes :: median shard size for primary shard in this tier
- primary_shard_size_mad_bytes :: [median absolute deviation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_absolute_deviation) of shard size for primary shard in this tier

This commit removes the documentation for some specific Searchable Snapshot REST APIs:
- clear cache
- searchable snapshot stats
- repository stats
These APIs are low-level and are useful to investigate the behavior of snapshot
backed indices but we expect them to be removed in the future or to appear in
a different form.
This pull request adds a new set of APIs that allows tracking the number of requests performed
by the different registered repositories.
In order to avoid losing data, the repository statistics are archived after the repository is closed for
a configurable retention period `repositories.stats.archive.retention_period`. The API exposes the
statistics for the active repositories as well as the modified/closed repositories.
Plugin discovery documentation contained information about installing
Elasticsearch 2.0 and installing an oracle JDK, both of which is no
longer valid.
While noticing that the instructions used cleartext HTTP to install
packages, this commit replaces HTTPs links instead of HTTP where possible.
In addition a few community links have been removed, as they do not seem
to exist anymore.
Corrects the `requests_per_second` query parameter used in the reindex,
delete by query, and update by query API docs.
The parameter defaults to `-1` (no throttle). `0` is not an allowed value.
This commit adds the `require_alias` flag to requests that create new documents.
This flag, when `true` prevents the request from automatically creating an index. Instead, the destination of the request MUST be an alias.
When the flag is not set, or `false`, the behavior defaults to the `action.auto_create_index` settings.
This is useful when an alias is required instead of a concrete index.

This commit adds data stream info to the `/_xpack` and `/_xpack/usage` APIs. Currently the usage is
pretty minimal, returning only the number of data streams and the number of indices currently
abstracted by a data stream:
```
...
"data_streams" : {
"available" : true,
"enabled" : true,
"data_streams" : 3,
"indices_count" : 17
}
...
```
This commit adds conditional logic to the docs to avoid including any
docs on searchable snapshots in released versions.
Rework of #58556 which was reverted.
