Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The OpenSearch source currently supports an index_name_regex parameter, and users may be more familiar or prefer to pass an index pattern of index-*, which in regex is index-.*.

This would be achieved by adding an index_pattern parameter as an alternative to index_name_regex

Describe alternatives you've considered (Optional)
Replacing * with .* internally in index_name_regex to prevent misuse with the * pattern.

Research direction

Locate the OpenSearch source code that handles the existing index_name_regex parameter and inspect its related configuration and tests. Determine how an index_pattern alternative should be accepted and validated, then verify that an index-* pattern selects the intended indexes without changing existing regex behavior.
