Description
With trait Storage, quickwit supports more than one storage, but there is a lot of redundant work in the middle. Perhaps we can try to use OpenDAL, with the community's efforts, to support more storage backends for quickwit for free.
OpenDAL is a Rust library that wraps different storage into a unified interface, and is already used in projects such as sccache.
Of course, I don't think we should use the opendal interface directly in quickwit, but continue to insist on the Storage trait, so that we can expand more easily in the future.
I am willing to provide a simple PR to explain this idea, provided that you are interested in it.

Research direction
Start by reviewing quickwit's Storage trait and the OpenDAL documentation, then identify the redundant storage-specific work described in the issue. A complete change would preserve quickwit's Storage abstraction while using OpenDAL to support additional storage backends, but the issue does not name files, tests, or a specific backend.
