Currently the OpenSearch emitter works with the 7.x version of

a) do we want to support Elasticsearch and
I think we should try, but I'm not sure if it should be "we = Apache Tika"
or "we = Tika people without hats"
b) are we able to pull in a non-ASL 2.0 docker image for our unit
tests of Elasticsearch
Licenses not any of the allowed lists at
https://apache.org/legal/resolved.html can't normally be used, even in
tests. There is dispensation for "platform dependencies", where someone
has already chosen to use something under an unsuitable license (eg
Windows) where you can then depend on the things from that platform.
Potentially we could rely on that, if the test only ran if Elastic was
present.
For now, as long as ElasticSearch and OpenSearch are compatible, let's not
worry! If they diverge on the emitter side, I think we'd need to check
with Legal on how we can handle it for testing.
