CYOP: Create Your Own Plugin
summary
Step‑by‑step plugin build from scaffold to cluster: shows creating plugin zip with plugin descriptor.properties and optional security.policy, building with Gradle/Maven, installing to node and verifying via nodes/plugins API; covers action plugins (REST handler → transport action → node client), extensible plugins (SPI + service file), and system indices. Demo builds a PI masking ingest processor for OpenSearch 3.3 that masks email/SSN/credit card fields, uses test clusters for rolling‑upgrade and wire‑format checks, and successfully returns masked documents in the search response.
