Elasticsearch crashed during reindex, can I continue?

I think I can finally answer my own question. I found a similar issue reported here and the only solution was to delete the partial/failed index and start reindexing again.

Resume reindex process

Hi, We are reindexing a 500gb data, but we dont know how to resume the reindexing once there has been an interruption, can you help us? right now, we are doing this: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"conflicts": "proceed","source": {"index": "source_index"},"dest": {"index": "destination_index","op_type": "create"}}' 'http://xxx.com/_reindex?wait_for_completion=false&refresh=true' Thanks

So I will start again...
