Draft documentation for syncing QA from prod data.


Note the input/output may need to be changed from "opensearch" to "elasticsearch" depending on whether the domain is actually AWS OpenSearch or a classic Elasticsearch domain. The 5.3 domains appear to be usable as "elasticsearch" targets even though AWS calls them opensearch - probably grandfathered access points.

Note also inclusion of "parallelPublisher" in `remove_field` to tell logstash to remove parallelPublisher when found. This was a deprecated property in favor of parallelPublisherLiteral property in any document it's

**If the pipeline fails**, you may need to kill the process via multiple `CTRL-c`s. Resume from the last indexed `uri`. Determine the last seen `uri` by POSTing the following to `{{ES_BASE_URI}}/{{ES_INDEX_NAME}}/resource/_search`
