Description

Vector search is feature of OpenSearch that is gaining prominence with recent emergence of generative AI and other ML use cases. Currently users of OpenSearch either use external embedding methods or use OpenSearch ingest pipelines to generate text embedding. Other processor currently present in the ingest pipelines are Append, Bytes Convert, CSV, Date, IP2Geo, Lowercase Text embedding. However using these processors especially text embedding causes additional CPU usage on OpenSearch. Data Prepper helps with preparing and ingesting data into OpenSearch. Having a text embedding processor in Data Prepper will help reduce this CPU need on OpenSearch and can help with the emerging use cases for OpenSearch

Research direction

The issue points to Data Prepper and existing OpenSearch ingest pipeline processors, but names no target files, tests, or entry point. Start by reviewing the linked ingest-pipeline documentation and the repository’s processor structure. The work is ready when the processor’s scope, embedding integration, and completion criteria are defined and validated by tests.
