This topic describes the benefits of the different editions of OpenSearch.

Industry Algorithm Edition

Intelligent

Flexible and customizable

Secure and stable

Offers a rich set of built-in, customizable algorithm models and provides industry-specific retrieval and ranking algorithms. These are tailored to the search patterns of different industries to ensure optimal search performance.

Developers can customize algorithm models, application structures, data processing, query analysis, and ranking configurations to meet specific business requirements. This allows you to fulfill personalized search needs, improve click-through rates, and shorten development cycles.

  • 24/7 support:

    Provides 24/7 operations and maintenance (O&M), with technical support available through tickets and phone calls. Its comprehensive emergency response system includes fault monitoring, automated alerting, and rapid issue identification.

  • Multi-layered protection:

    Uses Alibaba Cloud AccessKeyId and AccessKeySecret pairs to enforce API-level permissions and data isolation. This protects your data by ensuring it is isolated at the user level.

  • Data redundancy:

    Uses a backup mechanism to prevent data loss.

Auto scaling

Rich features

Out-of-the-box

Provides auto scaling, allowing you to scale resources up or down based on demand.

Supports a range of additional search features, including top searches, hints, drop-down suggestions, and report statistics, to help you visualize and analyze search data.

Provides a fully managed search service, eliminating the need to deploy or manage a cluster.

High-performance Search Edition

High throughput

Secure and stable

Auto scaling

Out-of-the-box

A single table can handle tens of thousands of write transactions per second (TPS), and updates take effect within seconds.

Vector Search Edition

Stable

Efficient

Cost-effective

The underlying C++ engine has been production-hardened for over a decade and supports multiple core business services. Its stability makes it ideal for mission-critical search applications.

As a distributed search engine, it efficiently handles large-scale data retrieval and real-time data updates that take effect in seconds. This makes it ideal for applications that require low query latency and high data timeliness.

Supports multiple index compression strategies and multi-value index load tests, enabling you to meet query requirements at a lower cost.

Vector algorithms

SQL query

Supports vector retrieval for various types of unstructured data, including voice, images, video, natural language, and behavioral data.

Supports SQL query syntax and online multi-table joins. It offers a rich library of built-in user-defined functions (UDFs) and allows for UDF customization to meet diverse retrieval needs. The operations and maintenance (O&M) system includes an integrated SQL Studio for SQL development and testing.

Retrieval Engine Edition
