AWS – Amazon OpenSearch Service adds support for Script Plugins

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports Script Plugins that allow you to add new scripting languages or custom scripting functionality to OpenSearch for operations like scoring, sorting, and field value transformations during search or indexing.

Until now, you could extend Search and Analysis functions of OpenSearch using custom plugins. With this launch, you can implement the ScriptPlugin interface as part of your custom plugin to extend scripting functionality in OpenSearch. You can use the OpenSearch Service console or APIs to upload and associate the custom plugin with your domains. OpenSearch Service validates plugin package for version compatibility, security, and permitted plugin operations.

Script Plugins are now supported on all Amazon OpenSearch Service domains running OpenSearch version 2.15 or later, and are available in 14 regions globally: US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), South America (Sao Paulo), Europe(Paris), Europe (London), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Frankfurt), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Seoul) and Asia Pacific (Mumbai).
