Description

What is the bug?

deletePit request to opensearch client fails with sigv4 signing mismatch

org.opensearch.client.opensearch._types.OpenSearchException: Request failed: [security_exception] The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your AWS Secret Access Key and signing method. Consult the service documentation for details.

The Canonical String for this request should have been
'DELETE
/_search/point_in_time

... remaining request info...
How can one reproduce the bug?

Create an OpenSearchClient following instructions from here (https://opensearch.org/docs/2.7/clients/java/#connecting-to-amazon-opensearch-service) and then attempt to use the client's deletePit API.

I believe this is because it is a DELETE request with a body. The createPit method works as intended. Sending the request results in a sigv4 error

What is the expected behavior?

The deletePit API call does not have a signature mismatch

What is your host/environment?

Mac OS

implementation 'org.opensearch.client:opensearch-java:2.5.0'
implementation 'org.opensearch.client:opensearch-rest-client:2.7.0'

Research direction

Reproduce the failure using the OpenSearchClient setup from the linked Amazon OpenSearch Service instructions, then trace the deletePit request through AwsSdk2Transport and ApacheHttpClient. Compare its DELETE-with-body signing behavior with the working createPit call; done means deletePit no longer produces a SigV4 signature mismatch.
