[BLOG] Skip Index–Based Optimizations: Extending Aggregation Performance in OpenSearch #4068
Description
Describe the blog post
Skip index–based optimizations represent the next step in the aggregation performance journey. Instead of iterating over each matching document, skip indexes summarize ranges of values so that entire blocks of documents can be skipped or bulk-counted when they fall into a single aggregation bucket. This reduces per-document work and improves CPU efficiency in scenarios where earlier techniques did not apply.
