In PR #2773, I added the `chinese`, `hebrew`, `japanese` and `thai`
feature flags to allow melisearch to be built without huge specialed
tokenizations that took up 90% of the melisearch binary size.
Unfortunately, due to some recent changes, this doesn't work anymore.
The problem lies in excessive use of the `default` feature flag, which
infects the dependency graph.
Instead of adding `default-features = false` here and there, it's easier
and more future-proof to not declare `default` in `milli` and
`meilisearch-types`. I've renamed it to `all-tokenizers`, which also
makes it a bit clearer what it's about.

3571: Introduce two filters to select documents with `null` and empty fields r=irevoire a=Kerollmops
# Pull Request
## Related issue
This PR implements the `X IS NULL`, `X IS NOT NULL`, `X IS EMPTY`, `X IS NOT EMPTY` filters that [this comment](https://github.com/meilisearch/product/discussions/539#discussioncomment-5115884) is describing in a very detailed manner.
## What does this PR do?
### `IS NULL` and `IS NOT NULL`
This PR will be exposed as a prototype for now. Below is the copy/pasted version of a spec that defines this filter.
- `IS NULL` matches fields that `EXISTS` AND `= IS NULL`
- `IS NOT NULL` matches fields that `NOT EXISTS` OR `!= IS NULL`
1. `{"name": "A", "price": null}`
2. `{"name": "A", "price": 10}`
3. `{"name": "A"}`
`price IS NULL` would match 1
`price IS NOT NULL` or `NOT price IS NULL` would match 2,3
`price EXISTS` would match 1, 2
`price NOT EXISTS` or `NOT price EXISTS` would match 3
common query : `(price EXISTS) AND (price IS NOT NULL)` would match 2
### `IS EMPTY` and `IS NOT EMPTY`
- `IS EMPTY` matches Array `[]`, Object `{}`, or String `""` fields that `EXISTS` and are empty
- `IS NOT EMPTY` matches fields that `NOT EXISTS` OR are not empty.
1. `{"name": "A", "tags": null}`
2. `{"name": "A", "tags": [null]}`
3. `{"name": "A", "tags": []}`
4. `{"name": "A", "tags": ["hello","world"]}`
5. `{"name": "A", "tags": [""]}`
6. `{"name": "A"}`
7. `{"name": "A", "tags": {}}`
8. `{"name": "A", "tags": {"t1":"v1"}}`
9. `{"name": "A", "tags": {"t1":""}}`
10. `{"name": "A", "tags": ""}`
`tags IS EMPTY` would match 3,7,10
`tags IS NOT EMPTY` or `NOT tags IS EMPTY` would match 1,2,4,5,6,8,9
`tags IS NULL` would match 1
`tags IS NOT NULL` or `NOT tags IS NULL` would match 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
`tags EXISTS` would match 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10
`tags NOT EXISTS` or `NOT tags EXISTS` would match 6
common query : `(tags EXISTS) AND (tags IS NOT NULL) AND (tags IS NOT EMPTY)` would match 2,4,5,8,9
## What should the reviewer do?
- Check that I tested the filters
- Check that I deleted the ids of the documents when deleting documents

Previously, if the primary key was set and a Settings update contained
a primary key, an error would be returned.
However, this error is not needed if the new PK == the current PK.
This commit just checks to see if the PK actually changes
before raising an error.
3568: CI: Fix `publish-aarch64` job that still uses ubuntu-18.04 r=Kerollmops a=curquiza
Fixes#3563
Main change
- add the usage of the `ubuntu-18.04` container instead of the native `ubuntu-18.04` of GitHub actions: I had to install docker in the container.
Small additional changes
- remove useless `fail-fast` and unused/irrelevant matrix inputs (`build`, `linker`, `os`, `use-cross`...)
- Remove useless step in job

3569: Enhance Japanese language detection r=dureuill a=ManyTheFish
# Pull Request
This PR is a prototype and can be tested by downloading [the dedicated docker image](https://hub.docker.com/layers/getmeili/meilisearch/prototype-better-language-detection-0/images/sha256-a12847de00e21a71ab797879fd09777dadcb0881f65b5f810e7d1ed434d116ef?context=explore):
```bash
$ docker pull getmeili/meilisearch:prototype-better-language-detection-0
```
## Context
Some Languages are harder to detect than others, this miss-detection leads to bad tokenization making some words or even documents completely unsearchable. Japanese is the main Language affected and can be detected as Chinese which has a completely different way of tokenization.
A [first iteration has been implemented for v1.1.0](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/3347) but is an insufficient enhancement to make Japanese work. This first implementation was detecting the Language during the indexing to avoid bad detections during the search.
Unfortunately, some documents (shorter ones) can be wrongly detected as Chinese running bad tokenization for these documents and making possible the detection of Chinese during the search because it has been detected during the indexing.
For instance, a Japanese document `{"id": 1, "name": "東京スカパラダイスオーケストラ"}` is detected as Japanese during indexing, during the search the query `東京` will be detected as Japanese because only Japanese documents have been detected during indexing despite the fact that v1.0.2 would detect it as Chinese.
However if in the dataset there is at least one document containing a field with only Kanjis like:
_A document with only 1 field containing only Kanjis:_
```json
{
"id":4,
"name": "東京特許許可局"
}
```
_A document with 1 field containing only Kanjis and 1 field containing several Japanese characters:_
```json
{
"id":105,
"name": "東京特許許可局",
"desc": "日経平均株価は26日 に約8カ月ぶりに2万4000円の心理的な節目を上回った。株高を支える材料のひとつは、自民党総裁選で3選を決めた安倍晋三首相の経済政策への期待だ。恩恵が見込まれるとされる人材サービスや建設株の一角が買われている。ただ思惑が先行して資金が集まっている面 は否めない。実際に政策効果を取り込む企業はどこか、なお未知数だ。"
}
```
Then, in both cases, the field `name` will be detected as Chinese during indexing allowing the search to detect Chinese in queries. Therefore, the query `東京` will be detected as Chinese and only the two last documents will be retrieved by Meilisearch.
## Technical Approach
The current PR partially fixes these issues by:
1) Adding a check over potential miss-detections and rerunning the extraction of the document forcing the tokenization over the main Languages detected in it.
> 1) run a first extraction allowing the tokenizer to detect any Language in any Script
> 2) generate a distribution of tokens by Script and Languages (`script_language`)
> 3) if for a Script we have a token distribution of one of the Language that is under the threshold, then we rerun the extraction forbidding the tokenizer to detect the marginal Languages
> 4) the tokenizer will fall back on the other available Languages to tokenize the text. For example, if the Chinese were marginally detected compared to the Japanese on the CJ script, then the second extraction will force Japanese tokenization for CJ text in the document. however, the text on another script like Latin will not be impacted by this restriction.
2) Adding a filtering threshold during the search over Languages that have been marginally detected in documents
## Limits
This PR introduces 2 arbitrary thresholds:
1) during the indexing, a Language is considered miss-detected if the number of detected tokens of this Language is under 10% of the tokens detected in the same Script (Japanese and Chinese are 2 different Languages sharing the "same" script "CJK").
2) during the search, a Language is considered marginal if less than 5% of documents are detected as this Language.
This PR only partially fixes these issues:
- ✅ the query `東京` now find Japanese documents if less than 5% of documents are detected as Chinese.
- ✅ the document with the id `105` containing the Japanese field `desc` but the miss-detected field `name` is now completely detected and tokenized as Japanese and is found with the query `東京`.
- ❌ the document with the id `4` no longer breaks the search Language detection but continues to be detected as a Chinese document and can't be found during the search.

3347: Enhance language detection r=irevoire a=ManyTheFish
## Summary
Some completely unrelated Languages can share the same characters, in Meilisearch we detect the Languages using `whatlang`, which works well on large texts but fails on small search queries leading to a bad segmentation and normalization of the query.
This PR now stores the Languages detected during the indexing in order to reduce the Languages list that can be detected during the search.
## Detail
- Create a 19th database mapping the scripts and the Languages detected with the documents where the Language is detected
- Fill the newly created database during indexing
- Create an allow-list with this database and pass it to Charabia
- Add a test ensuring that a Japanese request containing kanjis only is detected as Japanese and not Chinese

3505: Csv delimiter r=irevoire a=irevoire
Fixes https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/3442
Closes https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/2803
Specified in https://github.com/meilisearch/specifications/pull/221
This PR is a reimplementation of https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/2803, on the new engine. Thanks for your idea and initial PR `@MixusMinimax;` sorry I couldn’t update/merge your PR. Way too many changes happened on the engine in the meantime.
**Attention to reviewer**; I had to update deserr to implement the support of deserializing `char`s
-------
It introduces four new error messages;
- Invalid value in parameter csvDelimiter: expected a string of one character, but found an empty string
- Invalid value in parameter csvDelimiter: expected a string of one character, but found the following string of 5 characters: doggo
- csv delimiter must be an ascii character. Found: 🍰
- The Content-Type application/json does not support the use of a csv delimiter. The csv delimiter can only be used with the Content-Type text/csv.
And one error code;
- `invalid_index_csv_delimiter`
The `invalid_content_type` error code is now also used when we encounter the `csvDelimiter` query parameter with a non-csv content type.

3319: Transparently resize indexes on MaxDatabaseSizeReached errors r=Kerollmops a=dureuill
# Pull Request
## Related issue
Related to https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/discussions/3280, depends on https://github.com/meilisearch/milli/pull/760
## What does this PR do?
### User standpoint
- Meilisearch no longer fails tasks that encounter the `milli::UserError(MaxDatabaseSizeReached)` error.
- Instead, these tasks are retried after increasing the maximum size allocated to the index where the failure occurred.
### Implementation standpoint
- Add `Batch::index_uid` to get the `index_uid` of a batch of task if there is one
- `IndexMapper::create_or_open_index` now takes an additional `size` argument that allows to (re)open indexes with a size different from the base `IndexScheduler::index_size` field
- `IndexScheduler::tick` now returns a `Result<TickOutcome>` instead of a `Result<usize>`. This offers more explicit control over what the behavior should be wrt the next tick.
- Add `IndexStatus::BeingResized` that contains a handle that a thread can use to await for the resize operation to complete and the index to be available again.
- Add `IndexMapper::resize_index` to increase the size of an index.
- In `IndexScheduler::tick`, intercept task batches that failed due to `MaxDatabaseSizeReached` and resize the index that caused the error, then request a new tick that will eventually handle the still enqueued task.

Mainly, these debug changes do the following:
- Set the default index size to 1MiB so that index resizes are initially frequent
- Turn some logs from info to error so that they can be displayed with `--log-level ERROR` (hiding the other infos)
- Add a long sleep between the beginning and the end of the resize so that we can observe the `BeingResized` index status (otherwise it would never come up in my tests)
## Open questions
- Is the growth factor of x2 the correct solution? For a `Vec` in memory it makes sense, but here we're manipulating quantities that are potentially in the order of 500GiBs. For bigger indexes it may make more sense to add at most e.g. 100GiB on each resize operation, avoiding big steps like 500GiB -> 1TiB.

It allows us to define the version of meilisearch once in the main `Cargo.toml` and let all the other `Cargo.toml` uses this version.
`@curquiza` I added you as a reviewer because I had to patch some CI scripts
And `@Kerollmops,` I had to bump the `cargo_toml` crates because our version was getting old and didn't support the feature yet.

# Pull Request
Fix attributes set candidates for v1.1.0
## details
The attribute criterion was not returning the remaining candidates when its internal algorithm was been exhausted.
We had a loss of candidates by the attribute criterion leading to the bug reported in the issue linked below.
After some investigation, it seems that it was the only criterion that had this behavior.
We are now returning the remaining candidates instead of an empty bitmap.

776: Reduce incremental indexing time of `words_prefix_position_docids` DB r=curquiza a=loiclec
Fixes partially https://github.com/meilisearch/milli/issues/605
The `words_prefix_position_docids` can easily contain millions of entries. Thus, iterating
over it can be very expensive. But we do so needlessly for every document addition tasks.
It can sometimes cause indexing performance issues when :
- a user sends many `documentAdditionOrUpdate` tasks that cannot be all batched together (for example if they are interspersed with `documentDeletion` tasks)
- the documents contain long, diverse text fields, thus increasing the number of entries in `words_prefix_position_docids`
- the index has accumulated many soft-deleted documents, further increasing the size of `words_prefix_position_docids`
- the machine running Meilisearch does not have great IO performance (e.g. slow SSD, or quota-limited by the cloud provider)
Note, before approving the PR: the only changed file should be `milli/src/update/words_prefix_position_docids.rs`.

This database can easily contain millions of entries. Thus, iterating
over it can be very expensive.
For regular `documentAdditionOrUpdate` tasks, `del_prefix_fst_words`
will always be empty. Thus, we can save a significant amount of time
by adding this `if !del_prefix_fst_words.is_empty()` condition.
The code's behaviour remains completely unchanged.

733: Avoid a prefix-related worst-case scenario in the proximity criterion r=loiclec a=loiclec
# Pull Request
## Related issue
Somewhat fixes (until merged into meilisearch) https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/3118
## What does this PR do?
When a query ends with a word and a prefix, such as:
```
word pr
```
Then we first determine whether `pre` *could possibly* be in the proximity prefix database before querying it. There are then three possibilities:
1. `pr` is not in any prefix cache because it is not the prefix of many words. We don't query the proximity prefix database. Instead, we list all the word derivations of `pre` through the FST and query the regular proximity databases.
2. `pr` is in the prefix cache but cannot be found in the proximity prefix databases. **In this case, we partially disable the proximity ranking rule for the pair `word pre`.** This is done as follows:
1. Only find the documents where `word` is in proximity to `pre` **exactly** (no derivations)
2. Otherwise, assume that their proximity in all the documents in which they coexist is >= 8
3. `pr` is in the prefix cache and can be found in the proximity prefix databases. In this case we simply query the proximity prefix databases.
Note that if a prefix is longer than 2 bytes, then it cannot be in the proximity prefix databases. Also, proximities larger than 4 are not present in these databases either. Therefore, the impact on relevancy is:
1. For common prefixes of one or two letters: we no longer distinguish between proximities from 4 to 8
2. For common prefixes of more than two letters: we no longer distinguish between any proximities
3. For uncommon prefixes: nothing changes
Regarding (1), it means that these two documents would be considered equally relevant according to the proximity rule for the query `heard pr` (IF `pr` is the prefix of more than 200 words in the dataset):
```json
[
{ "text": "I heard there is a faster proximity criterion" },
{ "text": "I heard there is a faster but less relevant proximity criterion" }
]
```
Regarding (2), it means that two documents would be considered equally relevant according to the proximity rule for the query "faster pro":
```json
[
{ "text": "I heard there is a faster but less relevant proximity criterion" }
{ "text": "I heard there is a faster proximity criterion" },
]
```
But the following document would be considered more relevant than the two documents above:
```json
{ "text": "I heard there is a faster swimmer who is competing in the pro section of the competition " }
```
Note, however, that this change of behaviour only occurs when using the set-based version of the proximity criterion. In cases where there are fewer than 1000 candidate documents when the proximity criterion is called, this PR does not change anything.

## Performance
I couldn't use the existing search benchmarks to measure the impact of the PR, but I did some manual tests with the `songs` benchmark dataset.
```
1. 10x 'a':
- 640ms ⟹ 630ms = no significant difference
2. 10x 'b':
- set-based: 4.47s ⟹ 7.42 = bad, ~2x regression
- dynamic: 1s ⟹ 870 ms = no significant difference
3. 'Someone I l':
- set-based: 250ms ⟹ 12 ms = very good, x20 speedup
- dynamic: 21ms ⟹ 11 ms = good, x2 speedup
4. 'billie e':
- set-based: 623ms ⟹ 2ms = very good, x300 speedup
- dynamic: ~4ms ⟹ 4ms = no difference
5. 'billie ei':
- set-based: 57ms ⟹ 20ms = good, ~2x speedup
- dynamic: ~4ms ⟹ ~2ms. = no significant difference
6. 'i am getting o'
- set-based: 300ms ⟹ 60ms = very good, 5x speedup
- dynamic: 30ms ⟹ 6ms = very good, 5x speedup
7. 'prologue 1 a 1:
- set-based: 3.36s ⟹ 120ms = very good, 30x speedup
- dynamic: 200ms ⟹ 30ms = very good, 6x speedup
8. 'prologue 1 a 10':
- set-based: 590ms ⟹ 18ms = very good, 30x speedup
- dynamic: 82ms ⟹ 35ms = good, ~2x speedup
```
Performance is often significantly better, but there is also one regression in the set-based implementation with the query `b b b b b b b b b b`.

732: Interpret synonyms as phrases r=loiclec a=loiclec
# Pull Request
## Related issue
Fixes (when merged into meilisearch) https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/3125
## What does this PR do?
We now map multi-word synonyms to phrases instead of loose words. Such that the request:
```
btw I am going to nyc soon
```
is interpreted as (when the synonym interpretation is chosen for both `btw` and `nyc`):
```
"by the way" I am going to "New York City" soon
```
instead of:
```
by the way I am going to New York City soon
```
This prevents queries containing multi-word synonyms to exceed to word length limit and degrade the search performance.
In terms of relevancy, there is a debate to have. I personally think this could be considered an improvement, since it would be strange for a user to search for:
```
good DIY project
```
and have a result such as:
```
{
"text": "whether it is a good project to do, you'll have to decide for yourself"
}
```
However, for synonyms such as `NYC -> New York City`, then we will stop matching documents where `New York` is separated from `City`. This is however solvable by adding an additional mapping: `NYC -> New York`.
## Performance
With the old behaviour, some long search requests making heavy uses of synonyms could take minutes to be executed. This is no longer the case, these search requests now take an average amount of time to be resolved.

736: Update charabia r=curquiza a=ManyTheFish
Update Charabia to the last version.
> We are now Romanizing Chinese characters into Pinyin.
> Note that we keep the accent because they are in fact never typed directly by the end-user, moreover, changing an accent leads to a different Chinese character, and I don't have sufficient knowledge to forecast the impact of removing accents in this context.

709: Optimise the `ExactWords` sub-criterion within `Exactness` r=loiclec a=loiclec
# Pull Request
## Related issue
Fixes (partially) https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/3116
## What does this PR do?
1. Reduces the algorithmic complexity of finding the documents containing N exact words from something that is exponential to something that is polynomial.
2. Cache intermediary results between different calls to the `exactness` criterion.
## Performance Results
On the `smol_songs.csv` dataset, a request containing 10 common words now takes about 60ms instead of 5 seconds to execute. For example, this is the case with this (admittedly nonsensical) request: `Rock You Hip Hop Folk World Country Electronic Love The`.

742: Add a "Criterion implementation strategy" parameter to Search r=irevoire a=loiclec
Add a parameter to search requests which determines the implementation strategy of the criteria. This can be either `set-based`, `iterative`, or `dynamic` (ie choosing between set-based or iterative at search time). See https://github.com/meilisearch/milli/issues/755 for more context about this change.

747: Soft-deletion computation no longer depends on the mapsize r=irevoire a=dureuill
# Pull Request
## Related issue
Related to https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/3231: After removing `--max-index-size`, the `mapsize` will always be unrelated to the actual max size the user wants for their DB, so it doesn't make sense to use these values any longer.
This implements solution 2.3 from https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/3231#issuecomment-1348628824
## What does this PR do?
### User-visible
- Soft-deleted are no longer deleted when there is less than 10% of the mapsize available or when they take more than 10% of the mapsize
- Instead, they are deleted when they are more soft deleted than regular documents, or when they take more than 1GiB disk space (estimated).
### Implementation standpoint
1. Adds a `DeletionStrategy` struct to replace the boolean `disable_soft_deletion` that we had up until now. This enum allows us to specify that we want "always hard", "always soft", or to use the dynamic soft-deletion strategy (default).
2. Uses the current strategy when deleting documents, with the new heuristics being used in the `DeletionStrategy::Dynamic` variant.
3. Updates the tests to use the appropriate DeletionStrategy whenever needed (one of `AlwaysHard` or `AlwaysSoft` depending on the test)
Note to reviewers: this PR is optimized for a commit-by-commit review.

728: Add some integration tests on the sort criterion r=ManyTheFish a=loiclec
This is simply an integration test ensuring that the sort criterion works properly.
However, only one version of the algorithm is tested here (the iterative one). To test the version that uses the facet DB, one has to manually set the `CANDIDATES_THRESHOLD` constant to `0`. I have done that and ensured that the test still succeeds. However, in the future, we will probably want to have an option to force which algorithm is used at runtime, for testing purposes.

737: Fix typo initial candidates computation r=Kerollmops a=ManyTheFish
When `Typo` criterion was after a different criterion than `Words` and the previous criterion wasn't returning any candidates at the first iteration of the bucket sort, then the `initial_candidates` were lost.
Now, `Typo`ensure to keep the `initial_candidates` between iterations.
