  Replication factor setting in Aiven for OpenSearch^®

  You now have the option to set the replication factor (`number_of_replicas`) to 0, which disables replica shards and reduces storage usage. However, this setting increases the risk of data loss if a node fails. It is generally not recommended for most OpenSearch use cases. Be sure to fully understand the risks and benefits before proceeding.
  
  Note: Before enabling this configuration, consult with your account manager to discuss your use case and agree on the reduced SLA. After that, Aiven support can enable the option for you.
  
  For more details, see the Replication factors in Aiven for OpenSearch.

  A new setting, plugins.rollup.search.search_all_jobs, is now available in OpenSearch to address issues with incomplete search results when querying rollup indexes that contain data from multiple jobs. Enable this setting in Advanced Configurations for a complete search of all rollup data.
  
  Note: Changing this setting is not recommended, as the default configuration is suitable for most use cases.
