Data Explorer - Revamping Discover to be able to be used for all of OpenSearch Dashboards data exploration use cases

I know this is just a placeholder, but it's absolutely critical that we're able to actually articulate the current use cases of Discover and Event Explorer, as well as specific features/functionality, before we can assess where the overlaps and gaps are and choose a technical approach.

How is this issue distinct from #1792? Should we update #1792 to be an RFC that asks for specific use cases or pain points from the community?

I've also tagged discover-related bugs and feature requests with the discover for discover reinvent label, so that it's easier to track existing known issues.

@joshuarrrr you are right. This is duplicative/similar to #1792.

Add two draft Issues in #1792 (here) and also update the same contents below

• Understand Discover which includes setup & start discover and core functions Understand Discover -- (draft) #3112
• Rewrite Evaluation: Discover Rewrite Proposal -- Draft #3104
