Description

we currently use index with versions in their names. With index updates, we could just update indexes instead of creating new ones. In doing so, we must make sure we don't clobber indexes with a configuration different than our default.

Research direction

Start by tracing how versioned OTEL indexes are created and updated, then determine how index configuration is compared with the default. Done means updates reuse a non-versioned index without clobbering an index whose configuration differs from the default.
