How does Scala support resilient distributed search indexing pipelines?

Search indexing pipelines use streaming ingestion, batching, and fault-tolerant indexing into systems like Elasticsearch.

Scala-based pipelines ingest events from Kafka, transform them, and index into distributed search engines like Elasticsearch or OpenSearch. These pipelines must handle retries, deduplication, and ordering guarantees. Backpressure ensures indexing systems are not overwhelmed. Reindexing strategies handle schema evolution or corruption recovery.
