[Maps] Ignore global filters per layer and map

[alexfrancoeur]

As we begin to introduce more filtering options to layers (#32202 (comment)), it would be nice to also have the option to ignore global filters both at the individual layer level as well as the map itself.

This would have similar functionality that the time series visual builder has. In TSVB, you can choose to ignore global filters on a metric and the full visualization. When either of these are enabled, any queries or filters applied to the dashboard will not adjust whats shown.

Without this we require that all layers either use the same index or indices have the same fields, to allow filtering. If not a query on a field results in all layers disappearing - apart from those based on indices with the field. The user is then forced to construct an OR expression. I can imagine users would want some layers to always be present, only filtering data points.

There is a Kibana advanced setting courier:ignoreFilterIfFieldNotInIndex. You can set this to solve the problem of blank visualizations when a filter is applied to a field in a different index pattern. Have you seen this? This can be used to allow better filtering across disparate index-patterns in a dashboard

@nreese I agree there is a global workaround but it'd be nice to have this option available as part of the app. @nreese @thomasneirynck What are the chances we could tie this into the layer based filtering story in 7.1? It seems to come up a lot. I realize there are other priorities ahead of this, I'm just not certain of the work effort needed here. "No, Alex you're crazy" is a pretty acceptable answer here 😄

I think we can get this feature in for 7.1

[alexfrancoeur]

Awesome! No worries if we can't, but it seems to fit well with layer based filtering

[nreese]

Does time still filter the layer when ignore global filters is true?

[alexfrancoeur]

@nreese I believe it does continue to filter time in TSVB, the visualization simply ignores all other filters. Maybe we add two separate controls? I'd be fine with starting with the same support that TSVB does.
