Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. SearchIdle feature only works for single replica for segrep indexes. For remote store, search idle feature is not supported. This is being removed in https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/10761. As part of this https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/10761/files#r1366872771, we should ensure that we fail these update index settings. We need to handle below cases -

  • If user passes searchIdle setting with value during index creation, it fails too.
  • When the update index setting happens with multiple other settings, does it fail the update entirely or the setting update happens partially.
  • Need to handle both segrep and remote store.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the referenced pull request #10761 and identify where the search idle setting is validated. Ensure that validation fails appropriately for both segrep and remote store indexes during index creation and update settings. Consider whether partial updates should fail entirely or partially.
