The Split Index API in OpenSearch allows you to split an existing index into multiple smaller indices.
The Split Index API enables you to divide a large index into smaller ones by increasing the number of primary shards.
Requirements for splitting an index include setting it to read-only state, defining routing allocation, and ensuring the new number of shards is a multiple of the original.
The Split Index API is useful for improving performance, scaling the index, or rebalancing data without re-ingesting it.
