Whenever a request fails, the previously emitted response header warnings are removed from a response.
This was intentionally done so that when authentication fails, there would be no warnings presented to a user.
However when a failure is not related to authentication, headers are removed as well.
I suspect this behaviour fails only when security is enabled

introduced by #64948

reproduction steps:

  1. create an index
  2. send a request that emits a warning and also fails. For instance a rest api compatible typed search endpoint - emits deprecation warning- and typed query - fails parsing.

--url http://localhost:9200/test1/sometype/_search
--header ‘Accept: application/vnd.elasticsearch+json;compatible-with=7’
--header ‘Authorization: Basic ZWxhc3RpYzpwYXNzd29yZA==’
--header ‘Content-Type: application/vnd.elasticsearch+json;compatible-with=7’
--header ‘X-Opaque-ID: he’
--data ‘{
“query”: {
“type”:{
“value”: “_doc”
}
}
}’

`Warning` headers are missing

While adding a warning header when a license is about to expire we also removed all the warning headers from response if it fails when handling the request in SecurityRestFilter. But SecurityRestFilter handles all exceptions happening during the request including not security related.
We can limit warning headers filtering to only filter 401 (or 401 and 403) in filterHeaders like:
if (headers.containsKey("Warning") && (restStatus == RestStatus.UNAUTHORIZED || restStatus == RestStatus.FORBIDDEN)) {...

Adding test

BigPandaToo added a commit to BigPandaToo/elasticsearch that referenced this issue Aug 12, 2021
We shouldn't remove warning when request is failing not because of
security reasons (syntax error for ex.).
Note, that security related failure could happen not only during
authentication (therefore we will check for the rest status), also all
failures happened during authentication will be considered security
related and warnings will be removed from the response.
