Any reason why you want to write python code when the feature already exists out of the box?

See reindex API.

Hi @vikasmastud

Best solution is as @dadoonet said using reindex.  
And if you really want to do it in python check the following documentation:

[https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html?highlight=reindex#elasticsearch.Elasticsearch.reindex](https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html?highlight=reindex#elasticsearch.Elasticsearch.reindex)
