About aliyun-opensearch-search
A skill for developers using Alibaba Cloud OpenSearch Vector Search Edition through the Python ha3engine SDK. It focuses on API and SDK workflows for document updates and HA or SQL searches, without console steps.
Key features
- 01Push documents with the ha3engine SDK
- 02Run HA vector and keyword retrieval
- 03Perform SQL-style searches
- 04Configure connections with environment variables
- 05Handle common query errors
Use cases
- 01Push or delete documents in an OpenSearch data source
- 02Retrieve using vector and keyword search
- 03Query structured data with SQL

OpenSearch Vector Search Edition
Use the ha3engine SDK to push documents and execute HA/SQL searches. This skill focuses on API/SDK usage only (no console steps).
Prerequisites
- Install SDK (recommended in a venv to avoid PEP 668 limits):
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install alibabacloud-ha3engine
- Provide connection config via environment variables:
OPENSEARCH_ENDPOINT(API domain)OPENSEARCH_INSTANCE_IDOPENSEARCH_USERNAMEOPENSEARCH_PASSWORDOPENSEARCH_DATASOURCE(data source name)OPENSEARCH_PK_FIELD(primary key field name)
Quickstart (push + search)
import os
from alibabacloud_ha3engine import models, client
from Tea.exceptions import TeaException, RetryError
cfg = models.Config(
endpoint=os.getenv("OPENSEARCH_ENDPOINT"),
instance_id=os.getenv("OPENSEARCH_INSTANCE_ID"),
protocol="http",
access_user_name=os.getenv("OPENSEARCH_USERNAME"),
access_pass_word=os.getenv("OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD"),
)
ha3 = client.Client(cfg)
def push_docs():
data_source = os.getenv("OPENSEARCH_DATASOURCE")
pk_field = os.getenv("OPENSEARCH_PK_FIELD", "id")
documents = [
{"fields": {"id": 1, "title": "hello", "content": "world"}, "cmd": "add"},
{"fields": {"id": 2, "title": "faq", "content": "vector search"}, "cmd": "add"},
]
req = models.PushDocumentsRequestModel({}, documents)
return ha3.push_documents(data_source, pk_field, req)
def search_ha():
# HA query example. Replace cluster/table names as needed.
query_str = (
"config=hit:5,format:json,qrs_chain:search"
"&&query=title:hello"
"&&cluster=general"
)
ha_query = models.SearchQuery(query=query_str)
req = models.SearchRequestModel({}, ha_query)
return ha3.search(req)
try:
print(push_docs().body)
print(search_ha())
except (TeaException, RetryError) as e:
print(e)
Script quickstart
python skills/ai/search/aliyun-opensearch-search/scripts/quickstart.py
Environment variables:
OPENSEARCH_ENDPOINTOPENSEARCH_INSTANCE_IDOPENSEARCH_USERNAMEOPENSEARCH_PASSWORDOPENSEARCH_DATASOURCEOPENSEARCH_PK_FIELD(optional, defaultid)OPENSEARCH_CLUSTER(optional, defaultgeneral)
Optional args: --cluster, --hit, --query.
SQL-style search
from alibabacloud_ha3engine import models
sql = "select * from <indexTableName>&&kvpair=trace:INFO;formatType:json"
sql_query = models.SearchQuery(sql=sql)
req = models.SearchRequestModel({}, sql_query)
resp = ha3.search(req)
print(resp)
Notes for Claude Code/Codex
- Use
push_documentsfor add/delete updates. - Large query strings (>30KB) should use the RESTful search API.
- HA queries are fast and flexible for vector + keyword retrieval; SQL is helpful for structured data.
Error handling
- Auth errors: verify username/password and instance access.
- 4xx on push: check schema fields and
pk_fieldalignment. - 5xx: retry with backoff.
Validation
mkdir -p output/aliyun-opensearch-search
for f in skills/ai/search/aliyun-opensearch-search/scripts/*.py; do
python3 -m py_compile "$f"
done
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-opensearch-search/validate.txt
Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-opensearch-search/validate.txt is generated.
Output And Evidence
- Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under
output/aliyun-opensearch-search/. - Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.
Workflow
- Confirm user intent, region, identifiers, and whether the operation is read-only or mutating.
- Run one minimal read-only query first to verify connectivity and permissions.
- Execute the target operation with explicit parameters and bounded scope.
- Verify results and save output/evidence files.
