Add a parameter to customize index names created by workloads

[okhasawn]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm working on creating a test script that can be run in parallel by multiple processes against the same cluster, that test would run Opensearch Benchmark as part of an integration test, a way to uniquely identify or customize the index's names created by Opensearch Benchmark Workload would greatly help for better logging and to avoid any conflicts, therefore creating more optimized and helpful integration tests.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding a parameter where I can specify the index name that would be created.

e.g opensearch-benchmark execute-test --target-host=$endpoint --workload=geonames --rename-indices="geonames$ID

Describe alternatives you've considered

Dynamically changing the index within a specific workload files to add a unique ID.

Hi @okhasawn, we might not need to add any of additional parameters. Users would just need to specify the index name to change in --workload-params. To support this change quickly, changes would need to be made in the workloads repository, specifically adding jinja parameters in workload.json, for all workloads.

Keep in mind, this might also be more lengthy for workloads like http_logs where there are 8 indices that get created. Feel free to contribute this enhancement and we can review the PR so that it can be added into a future release.
