Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently, complex UDAFs like patterns command implement its own logic because OpenSearch core doesn't provide the corresponding aggregator implementation. For those UDAFs, it's not straightforward to pushdown aggregation by composite aggregation for them.

OpenSearch scripted metric aggregation provides a pipeline of multiple mapping to single reduce by multiple scripts. See: https://docs.opensearch.org/latest/aggregations/metric/scripted-metric/

DataNode1: initScript -> mapScript -> combineScript
                                                     \
                                                      \
DataNode2: initScript -> mapScript -> combineScript -> reduceScript -> agg result
                                                      /
                                                     /
DataNode3: initScript -> mapScript -> combineScript

Research direction

Start by reading the OpenSearch scripted metric aggregation documentation and reviewing how the patterns command currently handles its complex UDAF logic. Compare that flow with composite aggregation pushdown and define the required behavior for init, map, combine, and reduce stages. Done means the feature has an agreed design and supports pushing down the intended UDAFs.
