### Testing
```bash
# Run all tests (JUnit 4 based)
mvn test

# Run specific test class
mvn test -Dtest=SpecificTest

### Testing

The project uses JUnit 4 with embedded OpenSearch for integration testing:

```bash
# Run all tests
mvn test

# Run specific test class
mvn test -Dtest=SuggesterTest

# Run with verbose output

        // Then
        assertSame(originalBuffer, reusedBuffer, "Released buffer should be reused");
    }
