Today we do not say explicitly that `integer` response fields are really
arbitrarily large JSON integers and may not fit into a Java `int`. This
commit expands the docs to add this information.
We only had a few mentions of 429 handling, now documenting our expectation generically.

Elasticsearch multi-target syntax for indices allows excluding an index with the "-" sign.
Public docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/api-conventions.html#api-multi-index
This commit expands that functionality to index expressions that include a cluster alias.
For example:
POST logs*,*:logs*,-remote4:*,-remote1*:*/_async_search
Would result in search all remote clusters except for remote4 and remote1, remote11, remote12, remote13, etc..
A singleton wildcard is required in the index position of the `cluster:index`,
to specify that we are excluding the entire cluster. This is useful when a cluster
is down or slow during CCS searches.
Excluding a subset of indexes on a remote cluster is not supported in this commit.
For example, this will throw an error:
POST logs*,*:logs*,-remote4:logs*/_async_search
We know that we plan to remove direct access to system indices, but we aren't sure what major version that change will fall in. This updates the docs to avoid any confusion in the meantime.

The hidden index docs did not mention that dot-prefixed patterns default
to matching hidden indices. This PR adds a note explaining the behavior
and why it's like that.

Changes:
* Reuses and reorders the index template API's body parameters in the simulate template API docs.
* Replaces several includes with a shorter xref.
* Reformats a sidebar on naming collisions with built-in index templates.
Today's network config docs are split into "Network", "HTTP" and
"Transport" pages, with unclear relationships between them. We often
encounter users with weird configs that indicate they don't really
understand how these settings all relate. In fact these pages are all
very interrelated, and the HTTP and Transport pages are almost all only
for advanced users. This commit brings these docs into a single page and
rewords some things to try and guide users away from the advanced
settings unless their configuration needs all the extra complexity.
It also adds a section entitled "Binding and publishing" which clarifies
the meanings of the `bind_host` and `publish_host` parameters. This is
also a common source of confusion amongst users.
It also clarifies that many of these settings accept a list of
addresses, and warns that this may not be what you want. Closes#67956.

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 the `index.routing.allocation.prefer._tier` setting to the
`DataTierAllocationDecider`. This special-purpose allocation setting lets a user specify a
preference-based list of tiers for an index to be assigned to. For example, if the setting were set
to:
```
"index.routing.allocation.prefer._tier": "data_hot,data_warm,data_content"
```
If the cluster contains any nodes with the `data_hot` role, the decider will only allow them to be
allocated on the `data_hot` node(s). If there are no `data_hot` nodes, but there are `data_warm` and
`data_content` nodes, then the index will be allowed to be allocated on `data_warm` nodes.
This allows us to specify an index's preference for tier(s) without causing the index to be
unassigned if no nodes of a preferred tier are available.
Subsequent work will change the ILM migration to make additional use of this setting.
Relates to #60848
This commit changes the default allocation on the "hot" tier to allocating the newly created index
to the "hot" tier if it is part of a new or existing data stream, and to the "content" tier if it is
not part of a data stream.
Overriding any of the index.routing.allocation.(include|exclude|require).* settings continues to
cause the initial allocation not to be set (no change in behavior).
Relates to #60848
This commit adds the functionality to allocate newly created indices on nodes in the "hot" tier by
default when they are created.
This does not break existing behavior, as nodes with the `data` role are considered to be part of
the hot tier. Users that separate their deployments by using the `data_hot` (and `data_warm`,
`data_cold`, `data_frozen`) roles will have their data allocated on the hot tier nodes now by
default.
This change is a little more complicated than changing the default value for
`index.routing.allocation.include._tier` from null to "data_hot". Instead, this adds the ability to
have a plugin inject a setting into the builder for a newly created index. This has the benefit of
allowing this setting to be visible as part of the settings when retrieving the index, for example:
```
// Create an index
PUT /eggplant
// Get an index
GET /eggplant?flat_settings
```
Returns the default settings now of:
```json
{
"eggplant" : {
"aliases" : { },
"mappings" : { },
"settings" : {
"index.creation_date" : "1597855465598",
"index.number_of_replicas" : "1",
"index.number_of_shards" : "1",
"index.provided_name" : "eggplant",
"index.routing.allocation.include._tier" : "data_hot",
"index.uuid" : "6ySG78s9RWGystRipoBFCA",
"index.version.created" : "8000099"
}
}
}
```
After the initial setting of this setting, it can be treated like any other index level setting.
This new setting is *not* set on a new index if any of the following is true:
- The index is created with an `index.routing.allocation.include.<anything>` setting
- The index is created with an `index.routing.allocation.exclude.<anything>` setting
- The index is created with an `index.routing.allocation.require.<anything>` setting
- The index is created with a null `index.routing.allocation.include._tier` value
- The index was created from an existing source metadata (shrink, clone, split, etc)

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.

This commit removes the `prefer_v2_templates` flag and setting. This was a brief setting that
allowed specifying whether V1 or V2 template should be used when an index is created. It has been
removed in favor of V2 templates always having priority.
Relates to #53101Resolves#56528
This is not a breaking change because this flag was never in a released version.
As a followup to #55411, this commit changes the default for the `?prefer_v2_templates` querystring
parameter to be `true`. This means that V2 templates will take precedence by default in 8.0+
Relates to #53101
This commit adds a new querystring parameter on the following APIs:
- Index
- Update
- Bulk
- Create Index
- Rollover
These APIs now support a `?prefer_v2_templates=true|false` flag. This flag changes the preference
creation to use either V2 index templates or V1 templates. This flag defaults to `false` and will be
changed to `true` for 8.0+ in subsequent work.
Additionally, setting this flag internally sets the `index.prefer_v2_templates` index-level setting.
This setting is used so that actions that automatically create a new index (things like rollover
initiated by ILM) will inherit the preference from the original index. This setting is dynamic so
that a transition from v1 to v2 templates can occur for long-running indices grouped by an alias
performing periodic rollover.
This also adds support for sending this parameter to the High Level Rest Client.
