opensearch-hadoop is in danger of being unmaintained but Sotaro has done good work recently and would be a major help to keeping that repo in a healthy state.

Thank you for the nomination. With the growing adoption of Spark, the rise of Iceberg, and increasing search demand driven by generative AI workloads, I believe use cases for operating OpenSearch from Spark will continue to grow, and opensearch-hadoop has a lot of potential to explore. There aren't many full text search or vector search engine that integrate well with Spark, so I think this library gives OpenSearch a unique value. I'll do my best to strengthen the bridge between the Hadoop ecosystem, especially Spark, and OpenSearch!
