Hello,
OpenSearch as listed the supported clients [here](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/clients/index/). Are there any intentions on adding [Elastic Curator](https://github.com/elastic/curator) as a supported client?
Curator simplifies index management significantly especially in the index migration space and it would be great if it could be brought along with the rest of the clients listed above.
If the decision is to not add Curator as a supported OpenSearch client, are there any alternatives that one would recommend?
Thanks for your time!

I don’t have the answer, but an issue was filed here: [OpenSearch Curator · Issue #1352 · opensearch-project/OpenSearch · GitHub](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/issues/1352)

I’ve had a _very basic_ go at making Curator compatible with OpenSearch here:
[https://github.com/jgough/opensearch-curator](https://github.com/jgough/opensearch-curator)
Managed to get it working by running run\_curator.sh but no binaries at this point.
Needs a lot more work but maybe could be a starting point?
