Research direction

Start by investigating the Telemetry-otel implementation and how OpenSearch currently exposes system and cluster settings. Determine which exporter and sampler options need configuration and whether system settings or cluster settings are the appropriate mechanism. Done means the supported settings are defined, applied to the telemetry SDK, and covered by relevant tests.
