Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting properties. This commit does exactly that. Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some "-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch settings to "-E". |
