[BUG] createPit client method is throwing ResponseError: parse_exception: [parse_exception] Reason: request body is required

[toyaokeke]

What is the bug?

the createPit method is throwing different errors, even though I am following the expected specifications from the opensearch user guide

I've also looked the source code for this method

• throws ResponseError: parse_exception: [parse_exception] Reason: request body is required if body is not passed as an input
• throws ResponseError: illegal_argument_exception: [illegal_argument_exception] Reason: request [/tests_func/_search/point_in_time] contains unrecognized parameters: [expand_wildcards], [keep_alive] when body, keep_alive and expand_wilcards are passed
• throws ConfigurationError: Missing required parameter: keep_alive if keep_alive parameter is removed

How can one reproduce the bug?

sample TS file

import { Client } from '@opensearch-project/opensearch';

const INDEX_NAME = 'tests_func';

const esClient = new Client({
    node: `http://test_func_elastic:9200`,
    maxRetries: 1,
    requestTimeout: 60000,
});
await esClient.indices.create({ index: INDEX_NAME });
await esClient.createPit({ index: INDEX_NAME, keep_alive: '10m' });

What is the expected behavior?

expect the createPit method to create a PIT using my input params

What is your host/environment?

OS: macOs Sonoma 14.2.1
Running a containerized application (see the Dockerfile in the additional context)
Docker version 20.10.22
Opensearch image 2.11.1 from AWS Public ECR

Do you have any screenshots?

If I remove body which is not a param in the SDK, I get this error

if I remove keep_alive which is required I get this error

If I add keep_alive and body (and expand_wilcards, which is also a valid parameter), I get this error

Do you have any additional context?

I don't get that error and could create a PIT just fine:

cd .ci/opensearch
export OPENSEARCH_VERSION=2.11.0
docker compose up -d

const { Client } = require('@opensearch-project/opensearch');
const client = new Client({node: 'http://localhost:9200'});

const start = async () => {
const movies = 'movies';
await client.indices.create({ index: movies });
console.log(await client.createPit({ index: movies, keep_alive: '10m' }));

{
  body: {
    pit_id: 's4GCQQEGbW92aWVzFjFXeHIwZklXVDktNTRxN3pHajA3YkEAFl9rVFRKTWlvUkFxSUxHQnpWYUdwWEEAAAAAAAAAAAIWT3dscTBuN09SazItMm84TEJ4NXNvdwEWMVd4cjBmSVdUOS01NHE3ekdqMDdiQQAA',

closing this issue, I managed to resolve the issue

@toyaokeke What was your issue (for the next person)?

[toyaokeke]

it seems like I may have been using an incorrect Dockerfile in my application. The Dockerfile iI shared was using Opensearch 2.11, but in my local tests I seemed to have been mistakenly using Elasticsearch 7.9, which does not support point in time
