Reindexing from a remote cluster

The snapshot and restore APIs are very fast and the preferred way to back up data, but they have some limitations, such as:

  • The backup is a safe Lucene index copy, so it depends on the Elasticsearch version used. If you are switching from a version of Elastisearch that is prior to version 5.x, it's not possible to restore old indices.
  • It's not possible to restore backups of a newer Elasticsearch version in an older version. The restore is only forward-compatible.
  • It's not possible to restore partial data from a backup.

To be able to copy data in this scenario, the solution is to use the reindex API using a remote server.
