I have some data in the index of Elasticsearch. I want to copy the data from the existing index in to the new index in Elasticsearch using logstash. I have used Elasticsearch input plugin and output plugin to load it to the new index.

Here's the config file i used:

> input {  
> elasticsearch {  
> hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
> index =\> "new\_apps"  
> document\_type =\>"sample\_apps"  
> query =\> '{ "query": {"match\_all": {}} }'  
> size =\> 2000  
> scroll =\> "5m"  
> docinfo =\> true  
> }  
> }  
> output {  
> stdout {}  
> elasticsearch {  
> index =\> "newindex"  
> hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
> }  
> }

But it's not getting data from the Elasticsearch index. I don't know where i am doing wrong. How to fix it....... Is the configuration file is correct????

Error i got in terminal:
