Elasticsearch 1.5 to OpenSearch 2

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Lack of support of Elastcisearch 1.x as a source prevents users from performing multi-version hops during migrations to the latest version of OpenSearch.

What solution would you like?

All products within the migration repo will support multi-version hops, allowing users to directly migrate to the latest version of OpenSearch from ElasticSearch 1.x. This should be supported across all migration paths, including metadata migrations, existing data migrations with RFS, and live capture with Capture and Replay.

Additionally, while not all transformations required for metadata, existing data, and live traffic will be supported "out of the box," there should be a mechanism for users performing such migrations to add custom transformations to the OpenSearch-Migrations transformation framework. This would allow for flexibility in handling unique data structures or transformations that may be required for successful migration.

What alternatives have you considered?

An alternative would be performing step-by-step migrations through intermediate versions, but this is time-consuming, complex, and could result in increased downtime or potential data inconsistencies.

Do you have any additional context?

The feature should account for the Lucene compatibility between versions and ensure that indices created in earlier versions are properly handled without the need for manual reindexing or intermediate version upgrades. This would greatly enhance user experience and reduce migration friction across metadata migrations, data migrations using RFS, and Capture and Replay features. By providing the ability for users to add transformations to the framework, we enable a more adaptable and extensible migration path for different use cases.
