Jesse Hallam f6760151c4 Support Elasticsearch v9 (for v10.11) (#35925)
* Support Elasticsearch v9 alongside v8

* Add CI workflow changes for Elasticsearch v8/v9 testing

* Support Elasticsearch v7 in addition to v8/v9, add v7 CI test job

Lowers the minimum supported ES version from 8 to 7 to avoid dropping
v7 support in a dot release. Adds a dedicated CI job to verify v7
compatibility alongside the existing v8 and v9 (default) jobs.

* Fix ES7 plugin install crash on cgroup v2 hosts

* Fix ES 7 container startup on cgroup v2 Linux (GitHub Actions)

ES 7 bundles JDK 11, which crashes with a NullPointerException in
CgroupV2Subsystem.getMountPoint() on modern Linux kernels that use
cgroup v2 (including GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest runners). The flag
was already set during the Dockerfile RUN step, but not at runtime.

Adding -XX:-UseContainerSupport to ES_JAVA_OPTS in docker-compose
fixes the crash. The flag is harmless on ES 8/9 which ship JDK 17+
where the cgroup v2 bug is fixed (it simply opts out of container-aware
JVM sizing).

* Capture docker compose logs in CI test artifact

* Use ES 7.17.29 for v7 CI test; remove cgroup v2 workarounds

ES 7.17.0 bundled JDK 17.0.1 which had a cgroup v2 bug
(CgroupV2Subsystem NPE) not fixable via -XX:-UseContainerSupport.
ES 7.17.29 bundles JDK 22 where the bug is long fixed.

Reverts the -XX:-UseContainerSupport workarounds added in the
previous two commits as they were based on a wrong diagnosis
and are no longer needed.

Background

This document aims to explain the bunch of server and webapp yaml files and their functionality.

The context behind this complexity is that we want new pushes to PR branches to cancel older in-progress and pending CI runs, but we don't want that to happen in master branch. Unfortunately, there is no config knob to control pending workflows and if you set a concurrency group, then pending workflows will always be canceled. Refer to https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/5435 for discussion.

Therefore, we have a template yaml file which is actually the main CI code. That is then imported by {server|webapp}-ci-master.yml and {server|webapp}-ci-pr.yml. The -master.yml files don't have any concurrency limits, but -pr.yml files do.
