) Today `_terms_enum` returns empty results for indices with document level security. Elasticsearch should return some hint in case the user hits empty results due to DLS limitation so the caller (ie. Kibana) can fall back to other strategies or notify the user with some appropriate error message. This changes the behaviour of the NodeTransportHandler so that it returns a NodeTermsEnumResponse with an error indication. The resulting API response will flag the enum as "incomplete" and list the error in the shard errors section. Clients can choose to react to this in the appropriate way. Closes elastic#88321

Missing return after calling listener causes duplicate responses
High Severity
When canAccess returns false, listener.onResponse() is called but the method continues execution without returning. The loop proceeds to check additional shards and eventually calls listener.onResponse() again (at line 737 if no shards remain, or via dataNodeOperation). This violates the ActionListener contract that it be invoked exactly once, likely causing response-already-sent errors or undefined behavior.

Medium Risk
Changes the
_terms_enumsecurity/response semantics and shard failure reporting, which could affect clients relying on empty results; covered by updated integration tests.Overview
_terms_enumnow reports incomplete results when a shard is skipped due to DLS/FLS restrictions, returning an explicit shard failure reason instead of silently yielding an empty term list.YAML REST tests are updated to assert
complete: false, shard failure counts, and the new error message for DLS-restricted users/API keys, while confirming FLS-only restrictions still returncomplete: truewith zero failures.Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 635a4fe. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.
