We can have opensearch index alias on multiple indexes using a wildcard pattern.

See for example:

POST _aliases
{
  "actions": [
    {
      "add": {
        "index": "*-registry",
        "alias": "all-registry"
      }
    }
  ]
}

See documentation https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/im-plugin/index-alias/

This has been tested in dev opensearch serverless. As a validation, the count of the document in the alias is equal to the sum of the count for each aliased index.

We would not be able to write on this index, which makes sense but I did not test it , see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19661822/is-it-possible-to-write-to-multiple-indexes-with-an-elasticsearch-alias

If you packaged the configurations in registry-common so that everyone got them with them with the jar files, then you would not have to have magic lists of nodes embedded everywhere.
