Implemented selective bulk retries for both Elasticsearch and OpenSearch.

Key behavior:

  • Successful 2xx items are removed from subsequent retries.
  • create conflicts (409) are treated as already delivered.
  • Other failed items remain in a route-scoped retry payload.
  • Invalid/mismatched responses conservatively retry the current payload.
  • Retry/drop accounting reflects only unresolved records.
  • Retry state is cleaned up safely on success, exhaustion, and task destruction.

Main additions include flb_search_bulk.c, es.c, opensearch.c, and corresponding internal/integration tests.

Verification passed:

  • cmake -S . -B build -DFLB_TESTS_RUNTIME=On -DFLB_TESTS_INTERNAL=On
  • cmake --build build -j8
  • Focused CTest: 4/4 passed
  • Focused integration: 2/2 passed
  • Strict macOS Leaks integration: 2/2 passed
  • git diff --check

Closes #6342

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared bulk-response processing and per-output retry contexts. Elasticsearch and OpenSearch now retry only unresolved records, while task cleanup releases stored retry payloads. Unit and integration tests cover partial responses and context lifecycle.

Changes

Per-record bulk retry handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry context contract and lifecycle
include/fluent-bit/flb_task.h, include/fluent-bit/flb_output.h, src/flb_task.c, tests/internal/task_map.c
Output routes store retry payloads, record counts, byte counts, and destructors. Lock-protected helpers manage this state during retry cleanup and task destruction.
Bulk response parsing and validation
include/fluent-bit/flb_search_bulk.h, src/flb_search_bulk.c, tests/internal/search_bulk.c, tests/internal/CMakeLists.txt, src/CMakeLists.txt
The shared API parses bulk responses, applies conflict acknowledgment modes, builds payloads for unresolved records, and validates malformed or mismatched responses. Unit tests cover these cases.
Elasticsearch and OpenSearch retry integration
plugins/out_es/es.c, plugins/out_opensearch/opensearch.c
Both outputs reuse serialized retry payloads, process per-item responses, preserve retryable records, clear successful contexts, and release payload resources safely.
Partial retry integration validation
tests/integration/scenarios/out_es/config/*, tests/integration/scenarios/out_es/tests/test_out_es_ndjson_action_line_001.py
Integration scenarios generate mixed bulk results and verify that the second request contains only the unresolved action.

85-100: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a test for surplus response items.

test_item_count_mismatch_is_invalid covers the case where the response has fewer items than the payload. The opposite direction is not covered. If the response has more items than the payload entries, next_entry must return -1 and the result must be FLB_SEARCH_BULK_INVALID. Add that case so both cardinality directions stay protected.

💚 Proposed additional test
static void test_item_count_surplus_is_invalid(void)
{
    int result;
    const char *payload;
    const char *response;
    struct flb_search_bulk_retry *retry;

    payload = "{\"create\":{\"_index\":\"logs\",\"_id\":\"one\"}}\n"
              "{\"message\":\"one\"}\n";
    response = "{\"errors\":true,\"items\":["
               "{\"create\":{\"status\":429}},"
               "{\"create\":{\"status\":429}}]}";

    result = flb_search_bulk_process_response(response, strlen(response),
                                              payload, strlen(payload),
                                              &retry);
    TEST_CHECK(result == FLB_SEARCH_BULK_INVALID);
    TEST_CHECK(retry == NULL);
}

Register it in TEST_LIST.
