hi
I created a new index for re-indexing and tried re-indexing, but I get the following error:
```auto

This is very old and have been EOL a long time. I would recommend you look into upgrading.

It seems updating and persisting state took longer than 30 seconds, which is not good. I have seen this happen either when very slow storage is used or when the cluster state gets very large from the number of shards managed in the cluster and/or the size of the mappings. It would help if you can provide the full output of the [cluster stats API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/cluster-stats.html). Note that this has been improved a lot in more recent versions.

To echo Christian's points, 5.X is very very old and [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol).
You really need to upgrade as there are huge improvements with Elasticsearch and how it handles updates to cluster state, which Christian pointed out as well.
