Hi,
We have an existing cluster running ES 5.6.7 version. We want to create a new cluster running ES 7.17.5 version and migrate all data to this cluster.
We have close to 300 Million documents present on the existing cluster.
We are confused between two approaches :
-
Reindex From Remote
-
Snapshot and Restore
What do you guys think is a better approach considering below factors :
-
We want zero downtime. Will Reindex from Remote affect performance of existing cluster ?
-
Which is faster and if anyone can give me a rough estimate on how much time each process will take ?
-
For snapshot and restore, we need to create a temporary 6.x cluster, reindex and then again snapshot and restore to ES 7 cluster.
Please suggest if there is any other alternative approach apart from these two.
