Can Someone help me with the curator snapshot procedure using HDFS plug-in?

Curator is repository agnostic, when it comes down to it. It doesn't care whether you've defined your repository named `my_repo` as type `fs`, `s3`, `azure`, or `hdfs`. Curator only uses the `my_repo` part.

You need the [Hadoop HDFS Repository Plugin documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.3/repository-hdfs.html). This will guide you through installation and repository creation.

We are using ES 2.3.2 version. Is HDFS plug-in support this version?

Uh, no. Not this version of the plugin, anyway. The current version of Curator won't either. You may be compelled to script your own approach with API calls, if there is an HDFS repository plugin available for your version of Elasticsearch.
