-Migration Assistant supports migrating from Apache Solr 8.x to OpenSearch 3.x. This includes document backfill from Solr backups with automatic schema translation (Solr `schema.xml` field types to OpenSearch mappings). A Transformation Shim proxy is also available to help validate query compatibility between Solr and OpenSearch before making application changes. For details, see the [Solr Migration Overview](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-migrations/wiki/Solr-Migration-Overview).

+**Migrating to Amazon OpenSearch Serverless**
+
+Migration Assistant migrates to Amazon OpenSearch Serverless collections from every supported source. The solution auto-detects the collection type (`SEARCH`, `TIMESERIES`, or `VECTORSEARCH`) and adjusts behavior accordingly: `SEARCH` collections preserve source document IDs, while `TIMESERIES` and `VECTORSEARCH` collections use server-generated IDs. When migrating to a `VECTORSEARCH` collection, `knn_vector` field mappings are automatically converted to Faiss HNSW for serverless compatibility, and `model_id` references are removed.
