Expose dist/pre/post options for SpanNotQuery
Use static int for easier to read code
Cleaner error handling. Pre without post (or vice versa) is not an error condition. Set appropriate defaults for pre/post.
Applied PR, changed the way defaults are handled and updated the docs.

[GEO] Fix for geo_shape query with polygon from -180/90 to 180/-90

This fix adds a simple consistency check that intersection edges appear pairwise. Polygonal boundary tests were passing (false positive) on the Eastern side of the dateline simply due to the initial order (edge direction) of the intersection edges.  Polygons in the Eastern hemispehere (which were not being tested) were correctly failing inside of JTS due to an attempt to connect incorrect intersection edges (that is, edges that were not even intersections). While this patch fixes issue/8467 (and adds broader test coverage) it is not intented as a long term solution.  The mid term fix (in work) will refactor all geospatial computational geometry to use ENU / ECF coordinate systems for higher accuracy and eliminate brute force mercator checks and conversions.

Fix SearchRequest.templateParams so that it is a Map<String, Object> so that it can take more data-types than just strings, to support Arrays.
[GATEWAY] Remove _state directory if index has been deleted

Today we try to delete the index directory if all shard locks have been
acquired. Yet, if this fails due to still running recoveries etc. We might
re-import the index as dangeling which also can happen if the node is restarted.
In contrast to the shard direcotries we can safely delete the metastate which is used
to import dangling indices while leaving the shard directories untouched.
Core: Fields defined in the `_default_` mapping of an index template should be picked up when an index alias filter is parsed if a new index is introduced when a document is indexed into an index that doesn't exist yet.

Closes #8473
Fielddata: Fix iterator over global ordinals.

Our iterator over global ordinals is currently incorrect since it does NOT
return -1 (NO_MORE_ORDS) when all ordinals have been consumed. This bug does
not strike immediately with elasticsearch since we always consume ordinals in
a random-access fashion. However it strikes when consuming ordinals through
Lucene helpers such as DocValues#docsWithField.

Spec: Fixes a few locations of the params array in JSON specification

A few locations of the `params` object in the JSON specification were not located in the `url` block.

Snapshot/Restore: restore with wait_for_completion=true should wait for succesfully restored shards to get started

This commit ensures that restore operation with wait_for_completion=true doesn't return until all successfully restored shards are started. Before it was returning as soon as restore operation was over, which cause some shards to be unavailable immediately after restore completion.

Core: let Lucene kick off merges

Today, Elasticsearch has a separate merge thread pool checking once
per second (by default) if any merges are necessary, but this is no
longer necessary since we can and do now tell Lucene's
ConcurrentMergeScheduler never to "hard pause" threads when merges
fall behind, since we do our own index throttling.

This change goes back to letting Lucene launch merges as needed, and
removes these two expert settings:

  index.merge.force_async_merge
  index.merge.async_interval

Now merges kick off immediately instead of waiting up to 1 second
before running.

Closes #8643
Aggregations: Added getProperty method to Aggregations

This allows arbitrary properties to be retrieved from an aggregation tree. The property is specified using the same syntax as the
order parameter in the terms aggregation. If a property path contians a multi-bucket aggregation the property values from each bucket will be returned in an array.
[TEST] Reduce stringency of breaker assertions

While in a perfect world we should only ever have 2 circuit breaker
trips, it's possible to get a race condition between the child and the
parent breaker with many threads. Since multiple breaking exceptions are
not actually a bad thing, it's okay to relax the constraints in the
test.

The race conditions are due to no locking inside the breaker logic, to
ensure that it is as low overhead as possible. Even though no locking is
used, we use atomic counters internally to ensure that the "estimated"
numbers for the breakers are never out of sync (which this test still
checks with no leeway).
[TRANSLOG] Cut over to Path API

This commit moves all the Translog related code over to the
NIO2 Path API. It also make transaction logs write once since it
never reuses a translog file.
