Refactor parsing logic of the Query Builder #1793

Description

I was working on some code for #1779 where I had to add a parameter to KNNQueryBuilder and noticed it has gotten pretty complex. I know @shatejas recently did some refactoring and wanted to build upon that to see if I could simplify the parsing logic.

What I found was that we can use ObjectParser on the inner structure of the query to better define the parsing structure so we do not have to deal with tokens. I have noticed a couple other queries also use this, but many still do it the old way (one example using parser: https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/blob/main/modules/mapper-extras/src/main/java/org/opensearch/index/query/RankFeatureQueryBuilder.java)

Anyway, this is in early phases. Just wanted to get some preliminary feedback.

Looks good overall! None of them are blockers, some minor suggestions

nit:
This is a critical path, lets make sure there are heavy unit tests around this. I know there are some, but I am not really sure if it covers all use cases.

Might be worth having KNNQueryBuilderParserTest which manages all parsing tests. I attempted it with InvalidParamsTest

* @param vector Array of floating points
* @deprecated Use {@code {@link KNNQueryBuilder.Builder}} instead

nit: add it back? the intent was to always use the builder so it will validate whenever the object is created

oops - copy and paste error. will add back

This is much simpler. Thanks for making this more maintainable

Adding it to the builder while parsing it was exactly what I had in mind. Seems like ObjectParser is giving us a lot of boiler plate. Nice find!

Yes, Im surprised more queries do not do this. The fromXContent was becoming a mess. This greatly simplfiies.

We might need to check how this will impact to overall latency. Latency could be the reason of not using this.

Thats a good point @heemin32. I saw the ConstructingObjectParser may add some latency, but didnt see anything about ObjectParser.

fieldName = in.readString();
vector = in.readFloatArray();
k = in.readInt();
filter = in.readOptionalNamedWriteable(QueryBuilder.class);

nit: you might have a conflict with backport merge. Might be worth adding back the check and tackle it on major version upgrade

oh is this the issue you ran into? I can look into it.

nit: Had marked deprecated so we don't have to add stuff. But I understand the risk, hopefully nothing other than tests are using it

nit:

  1. Instead of static block you can make a static method out it which returns ObjectParser
  2. Consider pulling this and the utility methods related to parsing into its own class. I attempted that with MethodParameterParser to single out the responsibility and better testing. The interface is made in a way that forces a lot of responsibilities on this class but we can always pull it out. Ideally I would want to see just the doToQuery logic in here, rest all can be delegated to other classes

I think it makes sense to pull out parsing into separate class. Will make that change.

@shatejas Yes that makes sense. I think Ill try to take it out of draft state and add some tests, etc. @heemin32 raises good point on latency. Ill see if I can do a quick analysis to show this wont add anything or much.
