We will be adding support for OpenSearch 3 to Jira in the current LTS (11.3). We’ll also be deprecating support for OpenSearch 2 in the current LTS and removing support for OpenSearch 2 in the next Jira major version (12). This keeps our products aligned with a fully supported OpenSearch version.
What’s expected
If you’re considering switching from Lucene to OpenSearch on Jira, you might want to hold off until we add support for OpenSearch 3.
We’ve reviewed all apps in the Marketplace and have confirmed they’re compatible with this change. If you’re using an unlisted app with custom OpenSearch queries, there is a small chance you could be impacted by this change.
Timeline
We expect OpenSearch 3 support to become available in H1 of 2026 in the current Jira LTS (11.3).
We’ll publish guides to help you with the migration to OpenSearch 3.
