Publish OpenSearch min snapshots for Mac M1 machines

[ryanbogan]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the only way to run plugins on a Mac M1 machine is to specify a path to a custom distribution url that contains a darwin-tar or darwin-arm64-tar gz file of an OpenSearch snapshot.

Describe the solution you'd like
Publish minimum OpenSearch snapshot distributions so that gradle commands (check, run, integTest, etc.) can be run without specifying a path every time.

@bandinib-amzn @peterzhuamazon Could you take a look? @opensearch-project/admin please transfer this to https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build repo. Thanks!

Hi @ryanbogan

Please check the documentation here: https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build/wiki/Building-an-OpenSearch-and-OpenSearch-Dashboards-Distribution#opensearch-min-snapshots
I believe this macOS snapshots are the one you are talking about?

[ryanbogan]

@gaiksaya The M1 machines default to arm64 for the basic commands. Are those available?

[gaiksaya]

No! I believe we are only building x64 for macOS: https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build/blob/main/jenkins/opensearch/publish-min-snapshots.jenkinsfile#L111-L142

Not sure if there a plan in near future to for arm64. We do have issue open to support macOS as a distribution #38 .

Hey @ryanbogan please check this comment #2216 (comment)

Mac os support x86_64 and arm64 as well, mac m1 works for both x86_64 and arm64 with help of Rosetta 2
arm64 is the architecture used by newer Macs built on Apple Silicon, shipped in late 2020 and beyond, but x64 should work as well, pgrep oahd should output the Rosetta process.

Duplicate with #4670 so move it to there now.
Thanks.
