But somehow users still manage to derive value from OpenSearch.
> Calling it Opensearch while touting Elasticsearch support is just as confusing
Right. Because it's not like Amazon explicitly state that they won't support Elastic Search versions beyond 7.10. Oh, wait: https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/opensearch/ https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/opensearch/

Oh, wait: https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/opensearch/ https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/opensearch/ You missed that your own linked post was speaking about hosting ES, not ES compatibility. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/keeping-clients-of-opensearch-and-elasticsearch-compatible-with-open-source/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/keeping-clients-of-o... > OpenSearch aims to provide wire compatibility with open source distributions of Elasticsearch 7.10.2, the software from which it was derived. You also missed that it's about the literal name OpenSearch vs Elasticsearch. Amazon benefits from people believing that OpenSearch is equivalent to Elasticsearch but open source, when really its this trailing orphaned fork that represents a significantly worse product: It'd be like if MariaDB had been named OpenMySQL.
