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.
