METRON-1272: Hide child alerts from searches and grouping if they belong to meta alerts ## Contributor Comments Adds the ability to hide alerts already contained in a meta alert from searches. It'll also hide it from the group mechanism (as they've already been sliced and diced). This happens by adding a "metaalerts" field to our alerts, which is a simple list of GUIDs. This does require partial updates to alerts when a meta alert is created or has the status changed from active to inactive or vice versa. Alerts can potentially be updated when the "alert" field of a meta alert is changed (i.e. an alert is added or removed), but this should be limited to alerts that are actually affected. Given that there are practical limits (iirc, ~1000) alerts that can be in a given meta alert and this is a manual action, it shouldn't be particularly bad. A batchUpdate is added to the IndexDao to avoid making a ton of updates to ES. It's added accordingly through the implementors (HBase just uses the List<Put> method, if we want something else let me know, I haven't touched that stuff in awhile). ElasticsearchMetaAlertDao throws an UnsupportedOperationException both to avoid having to implement it and also because creating meta alerts should generally be a single action as a result of manual intervention, not a bulk operation. Right now, there is an update to the templates to make them "not_analyzed". This is unfortunately due to our GUIDs being analyzed fields. I could potentially delete and reinsert the hyphens appropriately if we care to avoid that and are willing to absorb a bit of a kludge. I owe a test plan for this, along with a couple unit tests (particularly around grouping, and shifting the status of the meta alert and ensuring queries work as expected). Having said that, it should be fairly testable now on full dev, just by creating a couple meta alerts with a couple child alerts and running appropriate searches. Also definitely owe some documentation, particularly if we need to keep the field in the templates (and add it as a requirement). ## Pull Request Checklist Thank you for submitting a contribution to Apache Metron.
