OpenSearch-provided connector blueprints
OpenSearch provides two types of connector blueprints:
-
Standard blueprints (recommended for OpenSearch 2.14+):
- Designed for connectors that pass input directly to the model and return its raw output without requiring additional transformations.
- Use a registered model without any pre-processing or post-processing functions.
- Compatible with machine learning (ML) inference processors: ingest processors, search request processors, and search response processors.
- Ideal for new implementations in OpenSearch 2.14 and later.
-
Legacy blueprints:
- Suitable for specific input and output formatting requirements.
- Include pre- and post-processing functions.
- Recommended for existing implementations.
- Compatible with neural search queries.
Find your model and platform
OpenSearch provides connector blueprints for the following platforms and models. Each blueprint link provides an example request for creating the connector, including all required parameters, and an example Predict API request. The Protocol column links to the credential fields and cluster prerequisites for that platform’s authentication method. For an overview of the available protocols, see Connector authentication.
LLM judgment blueprints for Search Relevance Workbench
Search Relevance Workbench uses a chat model to generate relevance ratings using an LLM-as-a-Judge. For an overview of these blueprints, see LLM judgment blueprints. The following table lists the available blueprints for connecting Search Relevance Workbench to a chat model.
