Description

The Semantic field type was a big feature in OpenSearch 3.1, heavily focused upon in release notes, blogs, including in subsequent releases. Yet, it has not shown up in the Java client.

https://docs.opensearch.org/latest/mappings/supported-field-types/semantic/

Please add support for this field type. There is no work around to missing field types in the API, no "custom" type, you are stuck without it being added.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Java client support for other OpenSearch field types and the Semantic field type documentation linked in the issue. Identify the client entry points and tests that define field-type serialization; done means Semantic mappings can be represented and serialized by the Java client with coverage for the new type.
