Logn script compilation can bring cluster down #52058
Description
If you try to use scripted field during search or add scripted field in Kibana index pattern with script that is very hard to compile it can leave long running tasks and finally overcome cluster.
This was confirmed on 7.3 and master, on cloud and local, using script like below:
def field = doc['a'].value;
return
(field == '1' ? 'a1' :
field == '2' ? 'a2' :
field == '3' ? 'a3' :
field == '4' ? 'a4' :
field == '5' ? 'a5' :
field == '6' ? 'a6' :
field == '7' ? 'a7' :
field == '8' ? 'a8' :
field == '9' ? 'a9' :
field == '10' ? 'a10' :
field == '11' ? 'a11' :
field == '12' ? 'a12' :
field == '13' ? 'a13' :
field == '14' ? 'a14' :
field == '15' ? 'a15' :
field == '16' ? 'a16' :
field == '17' ? 'a17' :
field == '18' ? 'a18' :
field == '19' ? 'a19' :
field == '20' ? 'a20' :
field == '21' ? 'a21' :
field == '22' ? 'a22' :
field == '23' ? 'a23' :
field == '24' ? 'a24' :
field);
This script takes 1h+ to compile and when search using it targets multiple indices there will be a lot of stuck tasks which will make cluster unusable
