Hi @dadoonet, @all

I need to export indexed data from one of index in ES. How do i export it considering it's compatibility with bulk import it after updating mapping of this index ?

- I need to do this in production environment.

You can use Logstash to read data from Elasticsearch and write to whatever destination, in whatever format you prefer.

ES instance is located in a VPC. Kibana is not accessible. Not sure how to access Logstash there.

Any API / DSL query i can make use of ?

Logstash is using the scroll API. You can use it as well.
