"Bitbucket Data Center can have only one remote connection to Elasticsearch for your cluster. This may be a standalone Elasticsearch installation or a clustered installation behind a load balancer." (https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/install-and-configure-a-remote-elasticsearch-instance-815577748.html)

To connect our Bitbucket Data Center to our search cluster, we are forced to add a load balancer in between. Even though Elasticsearch/OpenSearch comes with its own native capabilities for load balancing, which support high availability, performance/scaling and fail-over management.

We would like to be able
to configure more than one search server ip/name in Bitbucket or
get support for multiple search nodes behind a single DNS name.
Instead of adding more complexity with a dedicated load balancing component.
