(#34659) - Add Timezone Configuration to Watcher (#117033)
* Add timezone support to Cron objects

* Add timezone support to CronnableSchedule

* XContent change to support parsing and display of TimeZone fields on schedules

* Case insensitive timezone parsing

* Doc changes

* YAML REST tests

* Equals, toString and HashCode now include timezone

* Additional random testing for DST transitions

* Migrate Cron class to use wrapped LocalDateTime

The algorithm depends on some quirks of calendar but LocalDateTime
correctly ignores DST during calculations so this uses a LocalDateTime
with a wrapper to emulate some of Calendar's behaviours that the Cron
algorithm depends on

* Additional documentation to explain discontinuity event behaviour

* Remove redundant conversions from ZoneId to TimeZone following move to LocalDateTime

* Add documentation warning that manual clock changes will cause unpredictable watch execution

* Update docs/reference/watcher/trigger/schedule.asciidoc

==== {watcher} weekly schedule
++++
<titleabbrev>Weekly schedule</titleabbrev>
++++
A <<trigger-schedule,`schedule`>> that triggers at a specific day and time
every week. To use the `weekly` schedule, you specify the day and time (or days
and times) when you want the scheduler to start the watch execution with the `on`
and `at` attributes.
You can specify the day of the week by name, abbreviation, or number (with Sunday
being the first day of the week):
* `sunday`, `monday`, `tuesday`, `wednesday`, `thursday`, `friday` and `saturday`
* `sun`, `mon`, `tue`, `wed`, `thu`, `fri` and `sat`
* `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, `6` and `7`
Times are specified in the form `HH:mm` on a 24-hour clock. You can also use the
reserved values `midnight` and `noon` for `00:00` and `12:00`.
===== Configuring a weekly schedule
To configure a once a week schedule, you specify the day with the `on` attribute
and the time with the `at` attribute. For example, the following `weekly` schedule
triggers once a week on Friday at 5:00 PM:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule" : {
"weekly" : { "on" : "friday", "at" : "17:00" }
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE
NOTE: You can also specify the day and time with the `day` and `time` attributes,
they are interchangeable with `on` and `at`.
===== Configuring a multiple times weekly schedule
To configure a `weekly` schedule that triggers multiple times a week, you can
specify an array of day and time values. For example, the following `weekly`
schedule triggers every Tuesday at 12:00 PM and every Friday at 5:00 PM:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule" : {
"weekly" : [
{ "on" : "tuesday", "at" : "noon" },
{ "on" : "friday", "at" : "17:00" }
]
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE
Alternatively, you can specify days and times in an object that has `on` and
`minute` attributes that contain an array of values. For example, the following
`weekly` schedule triggers every Tuesday and Friday at 12:00 PM and 17:00 PM:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule" : {
"weekly" : {
"on" : [ "tuesday", "friday" ],
"at" : [ "noon", "17:00" ]
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE
==== Use a different time zone for a weekly schedule
By default, weekly schedules are evaluated in the UTC time zone. To use a different time zone,
you can specify the `timezone` parameter in the schedule. For example, the following
`weekly` schedule triggers at 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM on Tuesdays and Fridays in the
`America/Buenos_Aires` time zone:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule" : {
"timezone" : "America/Buenos_Aires",
"weekly" : {
"on" : [ "tuesday", "friday" ],
"at" : [ "6:00", "18:00" ]
}
}
}
}
