Remove dangerous default executor from HandledTransportAction (#100162)
Today subclasses of `HandledTransportAction` can specify the executor on
which they run, but the executor is optional and if omitted will use
`DIRECT_EXECUTOR_SERVICE`, which means the action runs on a transport
thread. This is a dangerous default behaviour because it makes it easy
to add new transport actions which implicitly run on a network thread,
which is very hard to pick up in reviews.

This commit makes the executor explicit in all callers, and marks the
dangerous methods for removal.

Purpose

This plugin provides empty REST and transport endpoints for bulk indexing and search. It is used to avoid accidental server-side bottlenecks in client-side benchmarking.

Build Instructions

Build the plugin with gradle :client:client-benchmark-noop-api-plugin:assemble from the Elasticsearch root project directory.

Installation Instructions

After, the binary has been built, install it with bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///full/path/to/noop-plugin.zip.

Usage

The plugin provides two REST endpoints:

  • /_noop_bulk and all variations that the bulk endpoint provides (except that all no op endpoints are called _noop_bulk instead of _bulk)
  • _noop_search and all variations that the search endpoint provides (except that all no op endpoints are called _noop_search instead of _search)

The corresponding transport actions are:

  • org.elasticsearch.plugin.noop.action.bulk.TransportNoopBulkAction
  • org.elasticsearch.plugin.noop.action.search.TransportNoopSearchAction
