Add check for invalid index in WildcardExpressionResolver #26409

hub-cap · 2017-08-28T19:22:13Z

Previous behavior in elasticsearch 5.x threw a 400 when accessing an
index that started with an underscore. In 6, this was changed to a 404,
an IndexNotFoundException. This is not a valid index however, and
should return the 400, as it is a bad request.

This commit adds validation to WildcardExpressionResolver
to ensure that indices cannot begin with an underscore. This change
still allows for behavior such as _foo,bar and will not mess with the
existing way we resolve indices. It will error given the example with an
InvalidIndexNameException.

This commit adds an optional override for validating a MasterNodeRequest. Cluster state can optionally be used for validation as well, to check the state of things such as index already existing in the validation logic.

hub-cap · 2017-08-28T19:24:01Z

I wanted to get some eyes on this to make sure that I am doing this validation properly. I saw a few different spots where validation logic existed, so I wanted to extract it out to a common place for the index actions. Feel free to tell me Im 100% off base w/ this :D

I'm not sure where you're headed, but this thing is better done in org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.get.GetIndexRequest#validate

+    @Override
+    protected void validateRequest(CreateIndexRequest request, ClusterState state) throws Exception {
+        MetaDataCreateIndexService.validateIndexName(request.index(), state);


I see where you're heading with the extra state validation, but name collisions are a rare occasion and I'm not sure it's worth it to have the extra API complexity in order to fail early. If we remove that we can move the name validation to org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.create.CreateIndexRequest#validate

The lack of validation in one of the calls actually caused behavior to break between major versions of ES. I think we should avoid this, but I am completely fine w keeping it out of a generic place.

This reverts commit d1e505e.

hub-cap · 2017-09-05T15:31:36Z

ok, I have updated the commit to put the assertion in the actual WildcardExpressionResolver, after a check for _all, so the validation never has to special case that. This is the least intrusive place that will ensure that these indexes will no longer return IndexNotFoundException's.

hub-cap · 2017-09-05T15:41:37Z

I have also updated the comment / PR name to show what I am actually trying to achieve :)

jasontedor

This looks good, but I would like to see a test that would fail before this change yet would pass after this change that asserts the status here on an HTTP request would be 400. A REST test is fine for this.

Since this is not an actual assertion (like assert), let's change the name.

It's okay to call the index "test", and to fit all of this on one line.

unneeded change?

should i remove this? my intellij settings might be a bit aggressive :)

bleskes · 2017-09-07T09:21:08Z

@hub-cap can you elaborate a bit as to why you went to a new direction - i.e., we don't check this in the #validate method of requests as you had before?

jasontedor

I think the test should be tighter.

This test needs to assert on the HTTP status.

Oh I was unaware we could do that. I must've missed it in the docs!

You might have to add a specific catch for bad_request (400).

ill block this on it being merged

hub-cap · 2017-09-07T21:48:20Z

can you elaborate a bit ...

@bleskes initially I did start a generic validation on all of the MasterNode actions, but this proved problematic because there was not a single place the expressions were resolved. Some subclass TransportClusterInfoAction and some do not, and that subclass handles resolving for any of its children, but other actions handle it differently. Then I realized that I didnt care about every action, and the place that is actually causing an issue is in the resolvers themselves. So i went down the path of making it generic in the resolver, so a call to GET /foo,_bar would properly fail with a 400 on _bar, rather than the 404 index not found. And so i eventually found the place that has already decided the expression is not _all, so i could remove a conditional check on "if it starts with underscore and is *not* all".

In the end, I was trying to solve a specific case (indices should not start with underscore) in a generic way in any action, rather than validating it in the place that every action uses to resolve indices.

Edit

And, the Expression Resolver was actually throwing the 404 not found, so the "Fix" would have to wrap that and fix the handling, or throw the proper exception in the resolver itself.

bleskes · 2017-09-08T16:21:27Z

@hub-cap thanks for the explanation. I see the hassle of going through all relevant requests and adapt their validate() method. I'm OK with compromising and putting it deeper in the index resolver (with the hope it won't bubble up other trouble).

hub-cap · 2017-09-08T16:36:39Z

I think about it this way, but I am also new to the codebase, so take it with a grain of salt :)

The index resolver already throws a not found for an index that does resolve to something existing, and now it also throws an invalid index if you try to resolve a bad index.

hub-cap · 2017-09-15T04:06:19Z

I have changed the test to use the bad_request

jasontedor

LGTM.

@elasticmachine test this please

This commit adds validation to the resolving of indexes in the wildcard expression resolver. It no longer throws a 404 Not Found when resolving invalid indices. It throws a 400 instead, as it is an invalid index. This was the behavior of 5.x.

* master: fix testSniffNodes to use the new error message Add check for invalid index in WildcardExpressionResolver (elastic#26409) Docs: Use single-node discovery.type for dev example Filter unsupported relation for range query builder (elastic#26620) Fix kuromoji default stoptags (elastic#26600) [Docs] Add description for missing fields in Reindex/Update/Delete By Query (elastic#26618) [Docs] Update ingest.asciidoc (elastic#26599) Better message text for ResponseException [DOCS] Remove edit link from ML node enable bwc testing fix StartRecoveryRequestTests.testSerialization Add bad_request to the rest-api-spec catch params (elastic#26539) Introduce a History UUID as a requirement for ops based recovery (elastic#26577) Add missing catch arguments to the rest api spec (elastic#26536)
