Hi All.  
We can clone an index with one of the following commands in Console

```auto
POST /<index>/_clone/<target-index>
PUT /<index>/_clone/<target-index>

```

Can someone point me in the direction how we can achieve the same using Dot Net Nest High Level Client as found here.

Welcome friend!  
I think reindex data is the answer 😊

> Sometimes there is a need to reindex documents from one index to another. The client provides two different methods for reindexing documents, `ReindexOnServer` and `Reindex`

I think you will need to use the low level client for that. There does not seem to be any support in the high level client.
