With your OpenSearch cluster running on FoundryDB, the next step is putting data into it and querying it. This post covers explicit index mappings, the bulk ingestion API, full-text search with relevance scoring, fuzzy matching, bool queries, and aggregations.

All results are from real queries run against OpenSearch 2.19.1 on FoundryDB staging. Replace YOUR_HOST and YOUR_DB_PASSWORD with your cluster values throughout.

Getting good write throughput from OpenSearch requires understanding three things: the refresh cycle, translog durability, and shard sizing. This post benchmarks bulk indexing with default and tuned settings on a live OpenSearch 2.19.1 cluster managed by FoundryDB. The cluster is a single-node tier-2 (2 CPU, 4 GB RAM), which is the smallest configuration available. Numbers from larger nodes will be better, but the ratios between default and tuned settings hold.

All commands use YOUR_OPENSEARCH_HOST and YOUR_PASSWORD as placeholders.
