Getting Started With OpenSearch Development
summary
OpenSearch repository totals about 1.5 million lines of Java, builds with Gradle and requires JDK 21; a local dev server starts with gradlew run and exposes port 9200 (example build shows 3.7-SNAPSHOT). AI coding agents guided exploration using an agents.md file and Curot/Claude behind the scenes, helped find a flaky-test hypothesis around the duplicate byte sequence spotter but that PR proves incorrect; project hosts 50+ plugins, 3,000+ active contributors and 400+ organizations across ~140 repos.
