Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
The AWS Open Search Serverless (AOSS) has a few restrictions on top of the generic Open Search for performance and security reasons:
- The ping() method doesn't work - The ping is a HEAD request to root (i.e. /). However AOSS does not allow any request to root for security reason.
- index open/close APIs - The module tries to close the index and update the settings and open the index. The open ( & close methods are disabled
You can see the list of available APIs of AOSS at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/ser...
Steps to reproduce
Proposed resolution
- ping() - We could do a GET /_cat/indices which tells whether the server is up or not.
- both POST /<index>/_open and and POST /<index>/_open and are called in BackendClient::updateSettings(). we could add another backend specific to AOSS and remove the open/close calls.
We might need to decide where would we make these changes as this is not related to main module and search_api_aws_signature_connector is too specific to AWS connector related. Either we could add a new sub module for AOSS (search_api_aoss) or I am happy to have it as a separate contrib module.

kim.pepperYeah I think a sub-classed search backend would work. I think a sub-module in this project would make more sense since there would be minimal differences.
Comment #3
vijaycs85thanks! I pushed changes to 2.x at https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/search_api_opensearch-3513714/-/tree/2.... I can't create MR from the fork as I might not have access.

Did you click "Get Push Access"?
Also all changes go into 3.x first.

I don't see the button (attached screenshot for reference).

kim.pepperLooks like just a few PHPCS errors. Also tagging for Needs Tests. I think it would be good for a test to ensure it all get's wired up correctly.

Comment #17
kim.pepperTested with AOSS locally and all looks ok. This is ready for reviews now.

pankajb commentedIs there a plan to make this available in 2.x? If not, when will this be released in 3.x? Right now we are using version 2.5.0 with Drupal 10.6.
Comment #20
kim.pepperDepends when people can review it and we can merge it.
Comment #21
pankajb commentedThanks for a quick response. We want to use this feature in our upcoming release in another approx. 2 months. We can look at possibly some collaborative efforts of testing this, if 3.x or 2.x pre release package is available. Does this sounds like even something feasible?
