Description

After the changes that have been made, distributed search is not available on file system. This also means the tutorial on the website is broken (Tutorial Link).

Command failed: Cluster feature cannot be used in conjunction with a file backed metastore.

It would make sense to make distributed search possible on file system as we can use AWS EFS for that.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the shown quickwit run --service searcher --config ./searcher-1.yaml command and inspect the configuration that triggers the file-backed metastore restriction. Done means distributed search works with a file system backed by EFS and the linked HDFS logs tutorial is no longer broken.
