Data sources
OpenSearch uses data sources to retrieve and integrate external data.
MaxCompute data source: MaxCompute is a big data computing platform. By connecting to MaxCompute data sources, OpenSearch can import and analyze large volumes of structured data. This is ideal for scenarios that require processing massive datasets and performing efficient searches and analyses.
API push data source: An API push data source lets you write a program to push data in real time from external systems or applications to OpenSearch. This enables dynamic data updates and ensures that the information in the search engine is always current. This method is ideal for business scenarios that require quick feedback and updates.
Object Storage Service (OSS): This service provides a solution for storing large-scale unstructured data. OpenSearch can directly retrieve data from OSS. This capability makes OSS suitable for storing files, such as images, videos, and documents, and lets you search and analyze this data.
