@mudgilgaurav please read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part.

Do you have a more detailed stack-trace in your logs?

Judging from the error it seems that `http://bucketname.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/` does not exist. Did you create it?

Also, in this old version, if you define the `region` you don't need to define the `endpoint`.  
In 6.0 you need to define the `endpoint` only as region has been removed.

Any chance you can also upgrade? At least to latest 2.4?
