Dear Aiven Community,

As a DevOps Engineer,
I want to be able to configure the shardindexingpressure settings directly within the Aiven platform and through the Aiven Terraform provider,
so that I can better manage indexing loads on Opensearch clusters, optimize performance during high data throughput, and prevent potential bottlenecks.

In addition, this configuration capability is essential for dynamically adjusting indexing pressure based on real-time data demands. Currently, trying to enable or modify shardindexingpressure settings results in a 403 error, indicating that the feature is not supported in Aiven's current Opensearch offerings. Enabling this feature would allow users to set parameters like softlimit, minlimit, and maxoutstandingrequests to improve operational efficiency and resource utilization.

This idea is important to me because it supports critical DevOps principles such as infrastructure as code and automation, which are essential for scalable, efficient deployment and management of large-scale search environments. By allowing users to configure these settings, Aiven can enhance its service offerings, making it a more attractive option for enterprises requiring robust, adaptable search infrastructure.

The benefits of enabling shardindexingpressure in Aiven Opensearch include:

Improved Performance Management: Users gain the ability to finely tune their cluster's response to varying indexing loads, enhancing overall system responsiveness and stability.
Greater Flexibility and Control: Configurability via both the Aiven console and Terraform promotes a more tailored approach to resource management, which is especially beneficial in environments with fluctuating data loads.
Enhanced Resource Efficiency: Proper management of shard indexing pressure prevents overutilization of shard resources, facilitating better distribution and utilization of resources across the cluster.
I urge the community to support this feature request, as it will significantly enhance the utility and manageability of Aiven's Opensearch service for all users facing similar challenges.

Thank you for considering this enhancement.

Best regards,
