pass on node seed to the node level settings in TestCluster
Expose `simple_query_string` flags in `flags` parameter
Default the circuit breaker limit to 80% of the maximum JVM heap
use trace logging to print RoutingNodes in test
Renamed old setIgnoreIndices to setIndicesOptions.
Added missing indices options to rest spec and rest actions.
Simplify indices stats API

Note: This breaks backward compatibility

* Removed clear/all parameters, now all stats are returned by default
* Made the metrics part of the URL
* Removed a lot of handlers
* Added shards/indices/cluster level paremeter to change response serialization
* Returning translog statistics in IndicesStats
* Added TranslogStats class
* Added IndexShard.translogStats() method to get the stats from concrete implementation
* Updated documentation

Closes #4054
Simplify nodes stats API

First, this breaks backwards compatibility!

* Removed /_cluster/nodes/stats endpoint
* Excpect the stats types not as parameters, but as part of the URL
* Returning all indices stats by default, returning all nodes stats by default
* Supporting groups & types in nodes stats now as well
* Updated documentation & tests accordingly
* Allow level parameter for "shards" and "indices" (cluster does not make sense here)

Closes #4057
Refactored create index api to make use of the new recently introduced generic ack mechanism

Closes #4421
Eager norms loading options.

Norms can be eagerly loaded on a per-field basis by setting norms.loading to
`eager` instead of the default `lazy`:

```
"my_string_field" : {
  "type": "string",
  "norms": {
    "loading": "eager"
  }
}
```

In case this behavior should be applied to all fields, it is possible to change
the default value by setting `index.norms.loading` to `eager`.

Brought back the deprecated _aliases api.
Rename `score` to `track_scores` in percolate api.

Closes #4624
[SPEC] Bringing back the specs for _aliases

Clarify options for flush request
Use a tolerance to decide if a value is less than the threshold

Adding a small value to the threshold prevents weight deltas that are
very very close to the threshold to not trigger relocations. These
deltas can be rounding errors that lead to unnecessary relocations. In
practice this might only happen under very rare circumstances.
In general it's a good idea for the shard allocator to be a bit
more conversavtive in terms of rebalancing since in general relocation
costs are pretty high.

Closes #4630
Add a message about import style

We don't have a consistent style and we don't want new contributors to
get hung up on trying to figure out the style.
Page-based cache recycling.

Refactor cache recycling so that it only caches large arrays (pages) that can
later be used to build more complex data-structures such as hash tables.

 - QueueRecycler now takes a limit like other non-trivial recyclers.
 - New PageCacheRecycler (inspired of CacheRecycler) has the ability to cache
   byte[], int[], long[], double[] or Object[] arrays using a fixed amount of
   memory (either globally or per-thread depending on the Recycler impl, eg.
   queue is global while thread_local is per-thread).
 - Paged arrays in o.e.common.util can now optionally take a PageCacheRecycler
   to reuse existing pages.
 - All aggregators' data-structures now use PageCacheRecycler:
   - for all arrays (counts, mins, maxes, ...)
   - LongHash can now take a PageCacheRecycler
   - there is a new BytesRefHash (inspired from Lucene but quite different,
     still; for instance it cheats on BytesRef comparisons by using Unsafe)
     that also takes a PageCacheRecycler

Close #4557
generic thread pool should always be cached
when using generic thread pool, some elements in the code base rely on the fact that it will always be able to fork it
