Error Restoring Snapshot

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I've been trying to restore an index snapshot and am getting this error in
the response:

ElasticsearchParseException[unexpected token [FIELD_NAME]]

I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid, but I can't figure out what. Does
anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Here is my basic workflow:

(using ES 1.3.2 -- Server1 and Server2 are separate ES clusters)

  1. Create fs snapshot repository on Server1
  2. Create snapshot of index 'x' on Server1
  3. Create fs snapshot repository on Server2
  4. Copy files from Server1 repository to Server2 repository
  5. Close index on Server2
  6. Restore snapshot on Server2

Step 6 always fails for me with the "unexpected token" error.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Nevermind, turns out that I wasn't copying the full directory structure
correctly when copying the repository files from Server1 to Server2.
