[data.search] Expose SearchSource on the server. #78383

lukeelmers · 2020-09-24T04:32:26Z

Summary

This is the final PR which exposes SearchSource on the server:

Refactors msearch route that's used in the legacy "default" search strategy so that the business logic is extracted into a helper function which can be reused in SearchSource
Adds contract to search service on the server
- API is await data.search.searchSource.asScoped(kibanaRequest);, which returns the same API as is available on the client.
Adds a plugin functional test suite to verify the service on the server

Testing

This PR relies on the added functional tests to validate that everything works, as there is not currently anywhere in Kibana which uses this service on the server.

Dev Docs

The high-level search API SearchSource is now available on the server. Usage:

function async myRouteHandler(context, request, response) {
  const searchSource = await data.search.searchSource.asScoped(request);
  searchSource.createEmpty(); // API after calling `asScoped` matches the client-side service
}

@lukasolson Let me know if I got this abort logic right. I tested and AFAICT it all works as expected.

This got simplified to a helper which could also be called outside of a route handler

@lukasolson @lizozom @ppisljar We should discuss the fakeRequestHandlerContext here -- I added it to our list to cover offline.

i am fine moving forward with this but lets open an issue for refactoring we want to do

Takeaway from our offline discussion: we will keep as-is for now as @ppisljar suggests, and discuss the proposed low-level search service changes separately.

Here's the issue for discussing changes to the low-level search API: #78461

loadingCount$ isn't really necessary on the server, so we just initialize BehaviorSubject that never changes

Accepting a KibanaRequest was pretty much my only option for the API since it's what index patterns require on the server. The question (as outlined in the code comment below) is whether it's necessary to also require RequestHandlerContext for the low-level search, when all of those items can already be derived from a KibanaRequest

These tests create a few dummy routes that can be called from the client to execute various pieces of the searchSource service on the server.

relocated to top-level before that loads before both index patterns and search

@lukeelmers why did you do this change here?
ISearchGeneric is the exact equivalent of this more explicit typescript.

Was the intention here to limit the usage of SearchSource to DSL only?

It's not quite the exact equivalent -- ISearchGeneric returns an observable, however on the server, the low-level search returns a promise.

In order to ensure the same behavior of SearchSource on both client & server, I had to wrap the dependency into something that always returns a promise.

That said, I did not include the ability to provide generic type params like ISearchGeneric does, and probably should have. I will open a PR to update this.

(Also per our offline discussion, if low-level search on the server eventually moves to returning an observable as it does on the client, we can come back and adjust this)

PR adding the generic type params: #79608
