OpenSearch has been published to Github. As far as I can see, there isn't a published distribution yet, but the code to generate .deb seems to be there. We should validate that this fork is usable as a backend for CirrusSearch so that we can start planning a migration.

| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T272111 Elasticsearch, a CirrusSearch dependency, is switching to SSPL/Custom licence | |||
| Resolved | bking | T280482 Validate that OpenSearch is a viable replacement for Elasticsearch for CirrusSearch |
OpenSearch was forked from elastic 7.10 but CirrusSearch only supports elastic 6.x so migrating to 7 (T263142) might be necessary before doing this.
@Gehel Are we still considering other options besides Opensearch? Let us know...I'm trying to decide whether or not to create tickets for porting our Elastic plugins to Opensearch , as that might be a requirement for migrating TTMServer to the new Mutualized Opensearch cluster .
Based on discussions with @dcausse and @EBernhardson last week, I believe we (as in Search Platform team) have decided that Opensearch is our only choice to replace Elasticsearch. As such, I'm moving this ticket to "needs review."
